y. c. Girl Wife Flies to New York
To Get Evidence for Divorce Suit
Elizabeth 0cksiadt Calls "War"
Husband Bigamist-To Name
Actress in Court Step.


Airplane divorces are the latest
They were inaugurated by pretty
little Elizabeth Agee Ockstadt, child
bride of Charles w. Buck Ockstadt,
one-time captain Of the Central High
School football eleven, lieutenant of
marines in the world war, and now
an actor.
FILES SUIT HERE.
Mrs. Ockstadt, barely twcnty-onc,
has instructed her attorney, Joseph
Carey. to file suit against her
twenty-three-y year old husband here for
absolute divorce. following an air
plane trip to New York. which is
alleged to have revealed the fact that
he had recently married another
woman-an actress known on the
boards as Tcrese Van Grove.
Mrs. Ockstadt found her husband
with his alleged new wife and her
mother, living in an apartment at o07
West Fifty-sixth street, New York.
she declares, after a thrilling aerial
trip, which landed the girl-wife In
New York on the eve of the Armisticc
Day celebration.
Announcing herself merely as "a
friend" she waited in an anteroom
until her husband appeared still sleepy
and clad in pajamas. she says.
There was a denouement. Then the
girl-wife decided she would look over
her rival. She claims she found the
latter in bed with her mother-the
latter fully clothed.
Dut, meanwhile, Mrs. Ockstads rec
ogniZed her successor as former nc
quaintance to whom her husband had
introduced her in New York last sun
mer.
MYSTERIOUS WOMAN.
A tangled maze, in which a mysteri-
Gus woman played a leading part re-
suited in Mrs. Ockstadt's discovery cf
her husbands alleged game of matri-
monial leapfrog. Mrs. 0ckstadt had
gone to visit her father-in-law at :I6
Eighth street northeast. At the front
door she met a middle-agcd woman,
who promptly launched into com
plant that she had been refused ad-
mittance to the house.
Mrs. Ockstadt introduced herself,

She then began a tale concerning
Ockstadt's alleged sentimental adven-
lures in New York. She refused to
give her name or explain her interest
in the case, nor would she go into ex-
pliclt details.
Better look him up yourself" she
said, and left.
Mrs. ockstadt didn't loose much
time.
SEARCHES HIS rArERs.
