ASKS DIVORCE, so HUSBAND CAN
WE'D "OTHER WOMAN"
Mrs. Albert Scott, young and really
beautiful, sat in the witness dock in
Judge McDonald's court and pleaded
for a divorce from her husband that
he might marry the girl with whom
he is now believed to be living in
South America.
The SCOTS lived in Oak Park. They
we're comfortably well fixed in the
matter of money and lived in blissful
happiness from the wedding in 1912
till year ago. Scott was secretary
treasurer of the Public Service Co. of
Northern Illinois. While the wife was
visiting her mother the husband went
away. Two months later came the
letter from her husband, of which the
following is part:
Owing to my preoccupancy with
work was not known much in So
ciety, so 1 never met any one for
whom 1 cared more than l did you.
Then l met a girl-no matter whom
or when-she was only 10, and as
good and pure as you are. Scandal
or no scandal, we decided to go away
together.
81 want you to divorce me. love
her more than any human being.
do mot allow yourself to worry
over me, for you are far too good for
me, Just as she is. Just hate me at
fret Then soften a little. Think of
her.
"It is my prayer that you marry
again. l know some one, who lived
not far from Harbledown, who would
give his right hand to have you, and
you know it, too.
"In solicitude.-Bert"
