Husband Says Sbe Lured Him to .Marriage with a Bottle of Wine.

ANSWERS HER PETITION

Herman Cordes has filed a cross-complaint in the Circuit Court in the divorce suit brought against him by Margarete Cordts. The original suit, which asks for a divorce decree and $25,000 alimony, was i;!ed last December. Cordes alleges in his cross-petition that she prevented him from sleeping by persisting in talking to him and that he was often compelled to retire to the hayloft to enjoy a night's rest. Cordes also asks for $1.400 and a divorce decree. He says that he was enticed into the marriage with the complainant. Soon after divorcing his first wife, Cordes says he rode to Valley Mills with his second wife. She produced a bottle of wine, he says, and persuaded him to drink it. Since then she urged her suit continually. He was also persuaded, he says, to lend her $1,4"". Mrs. Cordes claims cruel and inhuman treatment as ground for divorce.
