MAKES PLEA FOR DIVORCE Mrs, Elizabeth Smiley Frefers Grave Charges Against Her Husband. Her Will Subordinated to His—Inocu- lated With Idens Not in Ac- cord With Cizilization. Elizabeth L. Smiley has petitioned for a limited divorce from Charles W. Smiley, to whom she was married here April 27, 1890, her husband being also her first cousin. Through her attorneys, W. J. Newton and Emma M. Gillett, Mrs. Smiley makes some novel charges against Mr. Smiley, who is said to be well known in scientific circles, the owner of a local printing office, and the publisher of two scientific periodicals. By reason of their relationship, says Mrs. Smiley in her bill of of complaint, her hus- band became her adviser, before their mar- riage, on ‘matters pertaining to finance and as to her education, directing and invest- ing her money for her, obtaining such con- trol over her that she practically had no will of her own, “so that he even made her believe it was a favor to her to allow him her his note without in his name, and gi security. Controls Her ‘Funds. She had, when they were married, she 's, $4,000 in money and securities, which amount, she decltres, he now possesses or contre Some time previous to their mar- riage, asserts Mrs. Smiley, her husband had inoculated her with ideas not in accord- with modern civilization, and such Was the influence the defendant gained over her mind that before and during coverture she w things only in the light in which he presented them to her, rarely exercising her own judgment, so much $0 that sue would put in writing requests to him to do many things utterly at variance with com- mon sen: and admi ions as to her con- duct. For several months, further charges Mrs. sume in writing were e pretenses he xp- r estate or the income . making out in this connection a Hist of petty offenses against him, which ske still has, for which she should p: ying from 5 cent and without appeal or argument as to the right or wrong thercof. Continuous Self-Effa Her -narried life, states Mrs. been taade one of continuous self-efface- ment, abnegation, and bending to her hus- band’s will, and she has been made to be- lieve it to be her duty to yield to the slight- «st wish of an arbitrary and exacting self- appointed judge and ter. Mrs. Smile plains that she deserved si treatment in orde worth eon which cement. Smiley, has she thought to to er husband has led her to believe he moved. Mrs. Smiley charges that Mareh 17, her where 1806, husband fd... she has to Linden, He came took her i i ont her oce the states, but ges that lately he has forbade her to » to his home, “because her presence urled the atmosphere in which it was * holding out th inducement that by yiclding to this ¢ tentedly she might qualify herself to come useful to him, and even gain affecticn. She charges that this was d in order that he might in two years obtain a divorce from her on the grounds of de- sertion. = Evils of Cousins Marrying. During the past two years, says Mrs. Smiley, her husband has talked a great deal about the evil of cousins marrying, and the duty of undoing the wrong done thereby, and that when she consulted coun- sel and proposed that the matter be left to impartial friends he ordered her to is- miss her cou: and threatened that he would bring disgraceful charges against her, which, she were untrue for the appointment of an accounting, and for ali- mony and counsel fees. She giso, asks the court to restrain her husbatd from visit her and from in any way interfereing with her. \ Effect of the Combination on Richard Crown's Cranium. Richard Crown, a white man who is a regular visitor at the Police Court as a prisoner, and who gained notoriety several years ago by marrying’ a colored woman in an attorney’s office near the court, was in the toils again today. Whisky is Rich- ard’s greatest eremy, and Policeman Hern- don told the court that last evening he was dronk and fussy. Richard usually submits a defense that is extremely muscular, so to speak, but today marked his initial appearance hefore Judge Seott. In the meekest tones imag- inable he admitted to his honer that he had been under the influence of liquor. “I trust your honor will overiook my said Richard. “I was sick yes- and took some whisky and red pep- per. it went to my head, aud I knew not what I was doing. If 1 am forgiven I will never drink again.” “bid you ever drink before in your life?” asked the court. “Oh, yes, sir; yes, made haste to reply. “Isn't it strange, then, that one drink of whisky should go to your head?” the ecurt inquired. Policeman Herndon told the court some- thing about the record of Crown, and a fine of & was imposed. T have $3.50," said Crown. “Judge, will you give me till Saturday to pay the rest?” Judge Scott was obliging enough to r Guce the fine to meet the extent of Rich- ard’s purse, and the latter left the court a free man. Se WHISKY AND PEPP indeed, sir,” Richard ————— Thanksgiving at Fort Monroe. ‘The event of the fall season ip the social circle at Fortress Monroe will be the grand naval and military ball which will be given at Chamberlin’s new hotel Thanksgiving night. In order to accommodate those who will go to the ball from this city, and those who wish to spend Thanksgiving away from home, the Norfolk and Washington Steamboat Company have made a special concession in their rates. Round-trip tickets will be sold Wednesday, November 24, which will be good to return until Sun- day, November 2, inclusive. This will give a welcome opportunity to spend a few days at Fortress Monroe, Virginia Beach and their neighboring resorts during one of the most delightful seasons of the year. The steamer will leave 7th street wharf Wed- nesday evening at 7 o'clock, as usual, and reach Fortress Monroe early ‘Thanksgiving morning. —— Ladies of the Loyal Legion. An important business meeting of the Le- gion of Loyal Women was held last night, at which the plans for the musicale to be given by the order at the Church of Our Father, December 1, under the leadership of Mr. Harry Wheaton Howard, were dis- cussed. The interest in the musicale has ircreased to a gratifying extent, and there is every prospect of a successful termina- tion of the affair. eS Chapter Chooses Officers.
