Saying She Had Deceived Him In
TO Believing That She Had
Been Married and
Divorced.

c. S. Davis filed suit in the Mason
Circuit Court yesterday asking for n
divorce from his wife, Clyde Davis.
He states in his petition that he anG
his wife were married on March 81,
1917, but that shortly afterward she
abandoned him without fault on his
part and went to another state where
she is now living.
AS another ground for the divorce
sought in this suit, the husband states
that his wife was guilty OF fraud in
obtaining the marriage between them
in that she misrepresented to him that
she had been previously married and
that she had obtained divorce. He
says that since he has learned that
she had not been married before and
she had been guilty of serious Of
lenses which he sets out In the rather
lengthy petition.
