Ring up one for William Shakes
peare, erstwhile of Stratford-on-Avon
fame whose plays are the joy of ev->
cry "high-brow' and the despair of
the callow school child who wades
through them, for the most part, as
an unpleasant but necessary round
in the ladder of culture"
Years ago, Shakespeare wrote of
one Katherine, the shrew, and of
one Petruchio who married selfsame
Katherine to discipline her or, in
other words, to break her spirit.
Not that Knox county has Kath-
crime, the shrew, is this parallel
drawn, but that there seems to live
real, sure-enough Petruchio, provid-
ing one takes as the literal truth all
the allegations made in the divorce
pCIlIAOll vi lSulll IldGcl EAudlllS, llGu
in common pleas Friday.
In the immortal bards immortal
tale, Petruchio took his wife, just as
soon as they had spoken the VOWS of
eternal love, ct cetera, to bare,
rough cottage in the country and
there proceeded to "break her" by
using a horsewhip when she protest
ed.
And now, according to Mrs. Ad-
ans petition, her husband, William
Adams, Immediately after her mar
riage," escorted her to light house
keeping room where she remained
for ten days, during which time she
was met with all kinds of abuse, in
Guiding beatings, cursings, with all
kinds of humiliation"
But this is not all, she succinctly
comments.
During this short period of we'd
lock (they were married April IS,
1910 she claims that her husband
made it his business to have as many
lady friends as was possible and
would openly disclaim her as his wife,
While her marriage was of very
short duration, she AYERS that she
had the trouble of years.
For all these reasons, she asks for
divorce and temporary alimony,
the same to be made permanent later.
B. E. Sapp prepared her petition.
