CHICAGO ILL, August 2.-"Psychic
cruelty is what is alleged to have
forced Charlotte Walker leading wo-
man In "The Wolf" now playing at
the Chicago Opera House, to sue for
divorce from her husband. DR.. John b.
Haden or Galveston.
Miss Walker states that rumored
engagement between herself and
James *. Hackctt has had nothing at
all to do with her separation from her
husband.
Miss Walker was married d DR.. Ha-
den, of Galveston, about twelve years
ago. The announcement Of the decree
came us a great surprise to Texas
society, of which both the doctor and
the actress are popular members, be-
cause the papers were filed in the Dis
trict Court at Galveston and the petit
ton OF the plaintiff was granted with
out contest from the doctor. who
merely denied the charges alleging
cruel treatment on his part.
The custody of the children, two lit
tie girls, aged six and eight years, was
awarded to the mother. although they
have been in the care of the father
for several years while their mother
has been travelling during the theatrical
seasons.
Charlotte Walker is the only child
of the late Colonel James Walker, d
is leading woman for James K. Hack
EFT who Is now being sued by his wife,
Miss Mary Manncring, for a divorce at
Reno. New.
Charlotte Walkers marriage to DR..
Haden was quite romantic, and 1t was
after her marriage she left her home to
take up the stage.
