Upon what grounds does Jackson
ask for a divorce?" asked Judge Codd
of Attorney Rea.
Well he alleges that Mrs. Jack
sons l4-yearold daughter ran through
his restaurant which adjoins the sa-
loon, on roller skates, annoying the
customers" replied Attorney Rea.
Jackson also alleges that his wife
told him that she likes another man
better than him, and that Floyd inter-
feres with the business"
~ don't think those charges are
any grounds for a divorce" declared
Judge Codd, holly. IF that case comes
up before me, will throw II out. I
think that Jackson and his partner,
Sevener, are only using this court for
this action as a means OF ousting her
from the business. You have admit
