SHOCKING DETAILS
BROUGHT OUT IN SUIT
Isadore Solava Files Di-
vorce Suit Against His
Wife.

One of the most terrible illustrations
Of the blighting effect of drunkenness
on the home was brought to light In
the divorce case of Isador Solava VS..
Mary Solava, which was fled by At
torney Abe Ottenheimer In the Lake
superior court this morning.
A story of deep heart interest is re-
lated In the complaint. and If one-half
of the world does not know how the
other half lives this gives something
Of an mixing of the misery that visits
some homes as a result of intemper-
ance.
lsador Solava alleges in his COM
paint that on Dec. %. 1909, his wife
went on one of the sprees which were
occasional with her and left her s.
months-oid baby in the house in which
there was no fire
The child was left with nothing on
Its little body, but an undershirt, and
was found in this condition by the ia
ther when he returned from work.
Repeats ORense.
1t was three days before the mother
hnally ended her drunken spree and
returned to her home. She was for
given by her husband on the condition
that she would not again touch LIQUOR
but on JAN 20 she again repeated the
act, but this time when her husband
demonstrated with her she left the
house and told him that she did not
care for him any more
The plaintiff alleges that his wife
would break the ful allure when she
was drunk and throw the bed clothes
out of the window. He alleges that
she would not cook the meals and
take care of their eight-months-old
child.
ne claims that she was drunk prac-
ticaly all of the time and that so
great was her craving for drunk that
she would sell the groceries and even
ner clothing and buy whiskey with it,
he asks for a divorce and the custody
of the child.
