WINS RICHES AND REVENGE
“For nine years I have struggled to get to the point financially where I could humble the man who made life miserable for me. Nine years ago I was penniless and he was on the road to wealth. Now I have risen and he is down. This is a woman’s world as well as a man’s." Mrs. Anna Whitson thus described h r reasons for filing suit in New York tor separation from John G. Whitson, one of the founders of the Burbank Press, Santa Rosa, Cal, despite the fact that her husband obtained a divorce from her several years ago at Reno, Nev. She has brought additional suit for $46,000, which she says should have been hers had not Whitson, as she alleges, deserted her nine years ago. "If I win my separation and a judgment,” says Mrs. Whitson, “the money will go to the children. I want nothing from him, nothing but revenge.”
