A Week After Marriage

A Week After Marriage.

Mrs. Lizzie M. King, of this city, was granted a divorce, Tuesday, from James N. King. It was not a contested case. Mrs. King charged her husband with extreme cruelty. She set forth that they were married February 2, 1879; that he was at that time a temperate man, but that a week after their marriage, he got drunk and remained away from her three or four weeks. The honeymoon, thus inauspiciously begun did not brighten. Mrs. King charged that the husband of her choice contributed little or nothing to her support and finally became a confirmed drunkard. A year after marriage he began, to use harsh words in speaking to her. These facts being made to appear to the satisfaction of the court by her counsel, P. McKernan, Judge Kinne granted the divorce.
