Lafayette choat, Who Went to Jail
For Driving Wife to Harrow,
Contests Suit.

Kansas City, Mo-, jan 81 Hearing
OF the divorce suit brought by May
Choat against Lafayette Choat who
was sent to jail on charge OF felon-
ious assault because he drove his
wife about the field hitched to q har-
row, began in the Jackson county
court at independence today. Choat
is contesting the suit in which his
wife alleged extreme cruelty. si
The case of Choat, middle aged
farmer, first came to the attention of
the county when Mrs. Choat with her
two small children appeared in the
Juvenile court here. She told of being
tied to the harrow because her hus-
band was jealous of her and of being
beaten because she could not keep
pace with the horses. Choat was SEN
fenced to thirty days in jail.
