Mrs. Golda Doyle, wife Of +. VI
Doyle, proprietor of the Park Theater
yesterday moved her trunks from tn,
home of her husband to the st. Charlie:
Hotel at about the same time that hel
attorneys, o. A. knehans and A. NJ
Spradling, were filing chr petition fo
divorce in the Circuit Court in Jacl
son.
Her action came as a complete SUI
prise to her husband and his relative
and friends. The general opinion OF
those who were acquainted with thC
Doyles WITS that their life was cor
tinuous honeymoon. She was regard
ed as one of the best dressed women in
the city, and all that money would buy
was at her disposal. Her husband, &C
cording to these who knew the couple
best, wanted her to have all she des'
ed, and there was nothing new in Wear
ng apparel that Mrs EN- Doyle failed
to get.
Mr. Doyle had hardly learned that
his wife had moved her belongings
from his home than he was served with
notice of the suit Deputy Sheriff
Summers served the papers.
Attorney knehans last night declin
ed to discuss the case He said he had
promised Mrs. Doyle that he would
not divulge her case to the newspapers
and Furthermore would use his influ
cnce to keep the facts from the public.
When a reporter for The Tribune call
ed ut the St Charles Hotel laStnight,
he was informed that Mrs. Doyle had
lust stepped out with another lady"
Mr.. Doyle said last night he was SO
ignorant CT the facts that he could not
discuss the case intelligently. He was
asleep when Mrs. Doyle and her trunks
eft the Doyle home for the st. Charles
Hotel. His mother awakened him as
soon as she learned of her daughter in
laws action. A short time later the
deputy sheriff served the papers on
him. He consulted Judge Edward d.
Hays concerning the suit last night,
bu; the lawyer had nothing to say.
Those who knew the Doyles best say
they lived happily together. They
were seen every Jay and somtimes sew
eral times during the day motoring in
the big grey Cole car. During the
hours when the theater was open Mr..
DGyle and his wife remained together.
She always stood guard tt the cash
drawer She was on duty at the thea
ter Wednesday night, and they went
home together, but her plans were
kept from her husband.
Shortly before noon yesterday 4
transfer man drove up in front of the
Doyle home onThemiS street, rang the
door bell and called forMrs. Doyle's
trunks. Her mother in law responded
to the doorbell. and upon learning the
drivers mission, toldhim he had evi
IDENTIFY made amistake. GO to the
next door and you will likely find the
trunks there" she said.
At this point Mrs. E. NJ. Doyle ap
peared at the head of the stairway and
shouted: "You are in the right pew,
step in and get the trunks" He obey
ed This was the manner in which the
news was broken to the Doyles. And
the young woman inserted the necess
airy number of pins in her hat and de
parted.
Friends of Mrs. Doyle, in comment
int cn the suit last night, advanced the
theory that she was dissatisfied with
life in a small town. She had baSked
in the glare cf the footlights before
they were wed, and felt natural long
ing to return to thestage. Mr.. Doyle
met his wife while she was an actress
in Little Rock, although her home was
in Iowa and their marriage took place
AZ the homo of her parents in thai
state.
During her stay in this city she ha;
made many friends. She is a brown
eyed auburn hired woman and dres,
