NOVEL DIVORCE SUIT IS TO BE TRIED III COURT
When the divorce case of Lougrettla M. Wilson vs. George E. Wilson is tried in the Lake Superior Court in Hammond It wll be one of the most unique trials that has ever ben held in this court. Both othe parties to the suit are deaf-mutes. When the principals are put on th stand the questions and answers will have to be made In writing. It will b one of the quietest affairs that the court has ever known. The case was filed by Attorney J. WH1 Belshaw of Lowell. The plaintiff resides In Shelby and the defendant resides in Kewanna, Ind. where he conduets a ahoe repairing establishment. The complaint Is one of a very few In which the plaintiff has not chargeJ the defendant with using vile and oproblous epithets towards her. It may develop, however, that some harsh things were said In the sign language. Drowns Troubles In Drink. The couple were married June 24,
1904 and were separated Sept. 2. 1909.
It Is charged In the complaint that al
though the defendant made good wages working at his trade uat ho failed to
support the plaintiff.
It Is further charged that the defendant is an habitual drunkard and that
he abandoned her. The complaint re
lates that the defendant would slap the
plaintiff's face ur.til it was red and th neighbors acused her of painting her
face.
It is also charged that at one time the defendant threatened to kill her and would have done so had he not been
prevented from so doing. The instrument with which Wilson is alleged to har attempted to carry out his thread
was a harrow tooth.
The plaintiff asks that her maiden
name, Lougrettia May Bennet, be re
stored. If the plaintiff ar.d the defendant get into a deaf-mute alterca
tion in court it will be Interesting to
say the least.
