Bennett, Second Husband. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, August 14.—Evelyn Fariss, who went into the Follies a few years ago In spite of a large in- heritance, and later aided substan- tially- in the acquittal of her second husband, Raymond O. Bennett, on a charge of murder, yesterday an- nounced she had filed suit for divorce from him a week ago in Chattanooga. Miss Fariss married Bennett in 1920 after divorcing William Gill, a New York newspaper man, to whom she had been married four years. It Wwas afterward learned that this di- vorce went uncontested because of a secret pact which was sald to have specified that if either fell in love Wwith some one else a divorce would not be contested. Miss Fariss asserted that her pres- 19 ent divorce suit was the outcome of the acquittal of Bennett on the mur- der charge in Tampa, Fla, in May of 1923. Bennett was accused of k ing Herbert M. Carruthers of Tam who intruded upon a party given b; Miss Fariss and whose body later wa found by a roadside. For week she collected evidence and nesses to support her husband's defense. However, she stated today, after the acquittal her husband drank ex- cessively and began to abuse her. e The demand for people who are po- lite exceeds the supply.
