SEEKS To KEEP
WIFE. AWAY

William, A. Burroughs, SO,
father Of seven children, who
lives in the 900 block Maryland
Ave. N. E., today filed suit in
Equity Court asking that his a.
year-o1d second wife, Mrs. Rose H.
Burroughs, whom he married
three years ago, and her 15-year-
old daughter, be restrained from
entering the home.
Burroughs, who is represented
by Attorney Marvin F. Bischoff,
explains that at the time of the
marriage to the present wife. he
owned the property where they
make their home, with the ex-
ceptlon OF an encumbraEce of
$500. The property was worth
$500, he says, and in addition
he had money in the bank and
notes of considerable value which
he says his new wife :mmedi-
ately set out to acquire.
Because of a system of per-
secution" on the part of his wife
his nerves have been completely
shattered, Burroughs says. He
also charges that his wife in l;lced
him by false statements and mis-
representations to change the
title in his home so that she
would have a Joint and several
interest" Now that her interest
in the home has been made a
matter of record, Burroughs says
his wife refuses to have anything
to do with him and they occupy
separate quarters in the house.
