DIVORCED

William B. Westlake. former
civic leader Of the District and
proprietor OF the "Dixie Tavern"
Rockville, has been divorced by his
wife, Mrs. Agnes c. Westlake, be-
fore Judge Robert Peter in the
Montgomery County Circuit Court.
Washington civic circles were
astounded when Mrs, Westlake
filed suit for divorce in August
last year, charging her 55-year-old
husband with infidelity and naming
a correspondent.
The suit grew out Of an invegti-
cation conducted at the Dixie
Tavern" by Washington detectives
under the personal direction of
Mrs. Westlake.
The husband, at that time,
vehemently denied misconduct and
criticized his wife for bringing an
innocent woman's name into the
case.
Westlake had an enviable record
among the Districts neighborhood'
organizations, from president of the
Connecticut Avenue Citizens Asso-
citation to delegate TO the FEEDER
alton of Citizens Associations and
finally president Of the latter body.
He served several terms.
