Proceedings Are mstigated by
Her cr-in-Law.

Declaring that the charges made
against her by her husband, Simon
Deardorff, In his divorce complaint

Mrs Clemens, and that they are in
dividually and collectively false. ma
licious and scandalous, Mrs. Marie
Deardorff of Athena is preparing to

day to consult her lawyer Judge

ed the charges made in the complaint.
1t will be remembered that her
husband, who Is a resident of Athena,

the charges he filed against her, that
she was slovenly in dress and filthy
in her housekeeping, that she has an
Unsuitable appetite for lager beer and
that she has not treated him with
consideration since she discovered he
is a poor man.
In reply to these charges, the de-
fendant declares that there was alb
solutely no domestic infelicity in their
household when she left for Washing
ton on a business trip several months
ago, stating that her husband was so
unhappy at her departure that he
cried like a child. When she returned,
she says, she was astounded to learn
that a divorce suit had been insti-
tuted and that her husband had been
turned against her. She accuses her
sisterin- law with the responsibility
for his change in regard alleging that
the sister had brought about the
marriage had then attempted to get
her to transfer her property to her
husband. and. falling in which, had
poisoned the latters mind against
her.
In subtsantiation of her charges
that the sister-in-law is of a vindi-
cative nature. she declares that the
woman assaulted her last Sunday
morning and tried to kill her for
which, she declares she was fined
sixty dollars in the Athena police
court on Monday. Also as bearing
out her own claim to respectability in
her home town. she states that many
residents of Athena offered to donate
the funds necessary to fight the suit.
This offer, she says, che refused.
Through her attorney she has filed
an affidavit declaring her husband the
owner of certain property and of be-
ing physically able to earn good
wages and she, therefore. asks that
the court require him to pay her
money sufficient for the defense of
the case.
