Meanwhile, Mrs. Jean Louise” Thompson, 25, an attractive brtinet, has sued him for divorce in Superior Court 5. here. She charged cruelty, and asked $250,000 alimony.

at 319 E. Ohio St. Mrs. Thompson, tall and slender in a smartly tailored gray

suit and salmon colored blouse, denied to The Times her relatives had locked her husband out. Mr. Thompson blamed his in-laws-—and, to the lesser extent indiscretions of their cat Muifin for the couple's domestic troubles. : Arranged for Passports Mr. Thompson,. handsome and well dressed, testified in Noblesville he arranged with the U. 8S. consul in London for passports for the in-laws, who he said intended to live permanently in this country.

Judge Malan released the other two women on their own recognizance and continued $500 bond for each of the two men. H»> said he will rule Jan. 19.
