RAYMOND SAYS
WIFE MADE
THREATS
Says She Forced Him to Leave
Home-Denies He Is Earn
ing $4,000 a Year.

Sidneya A. Raymond, real estate
operatory at No. 1, Thomas Circle,
has filed his answer to the suit of
his wife Mrs. Vesta B. Raymond,
for a limited divorce alleging
cruelty and inadequate support.
Raymond denies cruelty and de-
clares that since February last his
wife has manifested towards him
"a quarrelsome,s cantankerous and
irascible disposition"
The defendant says that June IA
last the conduct Of his wife be-
came such as to make it impossible
for him to further live harmonious
ly with her and he was compelled
to move away. She pleaded with
him to return and promised to be-
have in the future. Mrs. Raymond
charged that July Is last he locked
her and the baby in one room of
the apartment and left town, leav-
ing them only 81 for expenses.
To this the husband says that his
wife then and there threatened to
shoot and poison him If he didn't
at once leave the apartment.
Mrs. Raymond Is asking for $500
monthly alimony informing the
court that her husband is earning
$4,000 a year. The husband
denies this and says that his
monthly income thus far this year
has been $500 and his expenses
totaled $793 a month. The schedule
includes 500 monthly alimony to a
former wife. Justice Bailey de-
ferred action on the wife's petition
for temporary alimony until the
auditor of the court decides upon
the financial status Of the defend
ant.
