Renewal Of the sensational
divorce fight Of Howe TotteIl,
wealthy Washington realtor
and society man, and Mrs.
Priscilla Stearns Totten, was
threatened today.
The hostilities may be re-
opened as a result of the filing
by Mr.. Totten, in the circuit
court at Towson, Md, Of a pc
tition, in which he complains
that his wife has not complied
with the terms Of the condi-
tional decree granted her
October %, 1925.
Children Kept From Him
Totten declares that his wife
has refused to permit their chill
dren to visit him and that she has
sohght to prejudice the children
against him. He charges that she
is using the $500 monthly allow
ance that he pays her in violation
Of court orders.
Judge Walter w. Preston has
signed an order directing Mrs. Tot
ten to reply to the complaint on or
before September 10.
The domestic difficulties Of the
Tottens caused a mild sensation in
Washington social circles three
years ago when the wife sued for
separate maintenance, charging that
he allowed her only $500 a month
for maintenance of their large
homes in Washington and in Long
Green Valley, Baltimore county
Maryland.
TOtten Asked Divorce
Totten retaliated with a cross bill
for absolute divorce, accusing his
wife of intimacy with F. DeWol1
Theobald, Baltimore clubman.
The social position Of the princi;
pals and the dramatic character OF
the trial attracted widespread ar.
tention and the court was crowded
daily with people OF fashion.
The greatest sensation Of the
trial occurred when Totten testi'
fled that he drove Theobald from
fcoat1ausd en- Pass ,. cOlunan. .
