WIFE ACCUSES HUSBAND.
Says He Drew Her Money From tn
Rank

Alleging that her husband, John N
Baird, is on a spree which has lasted
three days and has drawn checks on a
bank deposit which she says belongs to
her, Mrs. Eulalia r. Baird today filed suit
for an Injunction against the husband
and the Second National Bank, where the
money Is deposited.
Justice Wright cited the defendants to
show cause tomorrow why they should
not be enjoined, as prayed.
According to the wifes complaint, filed
by Attorney James E. Padgett, she kept
a hotel at Steubenville, Ohio, for many
years prior to last month, when she sold
the business for 1.sOO cash. In making
the sale, she says, she made her husband
her agent to receive the money.
Following the sale they moved to Wash
1ngton. Mrs. Baird says, and deposited
$1653.5O in the husbands name in the
Second National Bank, the money to be
used in the purchase of a business here
Under no circumstances, she alleges, was
the husband to draw any of the money
without her consent. The account re-
manned intact until a few days ago, she
states.
About three days since. she alleges, Mr.
Baird left home and has not been seen
by her. She learned that he is indulging
in intoxicants, the wife AYERS, and is gam
bling with her money. Last Saturday,
she says, a check for $3S drawn by the
husband was honored at the bank.
