Declares Wife Called Employer to
Learn Whereabouts Too Often.

His wife calling his employer on the
phone too often to find out whether
he were working or out "joy-riding,"
was one of the allegations on which
II. H Hoxsey, an~auto salesman, asks
divorce from May Hoxsey, now liv-
ing with her father at the Sixth Ave-
nue. hotel, in petition filed today in
the district court.
Hoxsey declares his wife was the
cause of their having to leave three
different homes on account of her
habit of talking about the landlady
when that parsonage could overhear
her. Further. he says, she has cursed
and called him vile names in the pres
ence of third parties and once. in a fit
OF anger, struck him on the hand with
a coat hanger.
She is of a Jealous disposition, he
declares. and besides falsely accusing
him of having dates with other wom-
en-, has hindered him in business by
frequently calling his employer on the
telephone to find out II he were work
ing or out for an airing in a motor
car. She left him November %. 1919,
he says. and has since been living at
/ the Sixth Avenue. The Hoxseys were
married at Lawrence in June, 1918,
