WIFE ARRESTED IN ATTACK, SAID
Rev. D. B. Cooper As A saulted In Virginia.
 Daughter Kidnapped

Rev. D. B. Cooper, whose wife is be- Y ing held in jail at Roanoke, Va, charged
 with an assault upon him and the abduc- s ton of their four-year-old daughter, is the same person who filed suit in cir. hcuit court against B. NJ. Holcombe. Jef- {erson county dairyman, for alleged alienation of his wffe's affections, ac- lsAcordins to c. E. Wilder, his attorney, 'nThursday night.
 Mrs. Cooper obtained divorce in the 1. local courts about two years ago, Mir. .sWilder said, but an appeal was. made Nto the state supreme court, where the fsdecision of the lower court was reversed.
 Before the appeal had been acted upon.
 However, she is said to have married Jack Lane of Atlanta, Ga, and lived tswith him in the Dulion apartments in
 Birmingham.
 The case was transferred to the vir- ~9inia courts, Mir. Wilder said, and Rev. ssCooper has already instituted divorce -spr0ceedings, with a decision to be an- nounced by the presiding judge within few days. In the meanwhile, he is said to have been given custody of the child pending the outcome of the suit. Mrs Cooper has never had the custody of the child since divorce proceedings < were first instituted in Birmingham, Mir. Wilder said.
 Considerable interest was aroused sev- sefal weeks ago in the suit by Rev. Coop CT against Holcombe, whom he accused z of being responsible for his loss of his siwife,s affections. Court records from a previous hearing in the case were read in which she testified that she had not ncared for her husband for long time and so had no affections to lose. The Jury returned verdict in favor of the defendant. Mir, Wilder said the decision bad been appealed. He pointed out that Mrs. Cooper prob- < ably had attempted to kidnap the child
 Mrom her husband, fearing that it would fbe awarded to it's father upon the grant
 ing of his divorce.
