MRS. RICHARDSON GETS
DIVORCE AND CHILD

Albia--An absolute divorce was
granted Mrs. A. w. Richardson in a
special session of district court that
was held in Abba Tuesday. Mrs. Rich
ardson was the Wife of Prof. A. w.
Richardson, who was candidate IN
years past for county superintendent
of schools of Monroe county. AT the
present time he is located at Leighton

ing. The divorce was granted on the
grounds of cruel and inhuman treat
ment. When Mrs. Richardson was on
the witness stand she told of their
unhappy married life. At one time
she was sick in bed when there was
another lady in the house. She was
rather suspicious and when she arose
from the bed and went to the room
where her husband and the other
woman" were she found the Professor
embracing her. When she remonstrat-
ed with him. she alleged he followed
her to the other room and struck her
with his fist. This kind of treatment
was administered at various times in
their married life, according to her
testimony. In the settlement Mrs
r: harrison gets the custody of a
minor daughter and the property was
divided outside of the legal end of the
case.
