Alleges Concealed
Property to Reduce
Alimony Demanded

Hilda Getscher, divorced wife of
Henry c. Getscher and mother of
their nine children, has brought suit
to set aside the divorce decree on
the grounds it was fraudulently OBJ
tanned on perjured testimony. She
names the State Savings and Loan
association as defendants with her
husband in order to prevent him
from removing property held in this
bank outside the jurisdiction of the
court.
Mrs. Getscher asserts her husband
is worth $4,000, although at the
time of the divorce agreement, when
she was awarded $500, Getscher
represented the latter sum to be
one-half his entire holdings. Since
then she learned he owns property
at Eighteenth and Ohio, valued at
$l1 900; certificates of $4,000 each
in the Conservative Loan and State
Savings and Loan associations, be-
sides other valuable property.
Not aware of this and because of
her dependency over her husbands
conduct, which included intoxication
and consorting with other women.
she alleges, she consented to the
divorce settlement which she now
wishes set aside.
Eight of the couples children are
living. They were married in FIRE.
