Atlanta Raid

ATLANTA, Ca, June 20.-Asa
g. Gambler, aged soft drink king,
today filed a suit for divorce in
the Fulton superior court against
the pretty young woman to whom
he has been married less than a
year.
The multi-milIionaire charged
"cruel treatment" in his petition.
He said that his pretty wife had
been going "joy riding with other
men," which was Every humiliat-
ing" to him.
Suit Follows Arrest.
The suit followed a domestic
wrangle several months ago when
Mrs. Gambler was arrested in q
fashionable apartment house here
and charged with being the ''occu-
pant of dive" She later was ac-
quilted of the charges.
With her two prominent Atlanta
business men were arrested, but
likewise were exonerated of the
charges.
Since that time Mrs. Gambler,
q former public stenographer, has
been living with her mother, de-
sorting the palatial Gambler man
sion.
The multi-millionaire's petition
further stated that Mrs. Gambler adj
mitted to her husband that she no
longer loved him.
Petition Is Brief.
The paper was brief, mentioning
several other instances of humili.
ating CONDUCT by Mrs. Gambler.
She was served the papers today
at the home of her parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. A. w. Little. No statement
came from her.
The marriage of the couple was a
