Divorces

A number of love letters from "Dot," whose home is said to be in Bluffton, Ind., obtained a decree yesterday for Nanette Parker, 512 Mitchell avenue, divorcing her from Jethro W. Parker, manager of the Richmond Bros. Clothing Company.  They were married at Bluffton, July 2, 1902, and separated last June.  "Dot" is said to have been an old sweetheart of Parker.  One letter read to Judge Charles W. Hoffman declared the belief that Parker "must certainly neglect your home or business," because he wrote such "dandy long letters."  This missive closed with: "If all lovers were like you, every woman would be happy.  Love me, dear, with all your heart, for that's the way I love you."

Otto Endres, Jr., city fireman, suing for a divorce from Mabel Endres, 1558 Dudley street, through Attorneys Jones, Clark, Morrissey & Terry, says she was extravagant and accepted clothing purchased by other men.  He also says she drank raisin-jack and smoked cigarettes, and threatened to cut his throat while he slept.  Last Tuesday, Endres says, when she believed he was asleep, she left the house by means of a rear entrance, entered an automobile, and rose to a house on the West End.  He followed her and demanded admittance, he said.  He was told his wife was not there, and when he forced an entrance two men were called, who threw him out.  Later his wife came from the place and told him to pack up and leave her or she would cut his throat, he charges.  He married her August 2, 1919, in Covington, Endres says.

Refusing to purchase her any clothing, Mary Holz, 34 West Eighth street, charges Clarence Holz wasted his money and told her other women, with whom he associated, would keep him without working.  She is suing for a divorce.

Cruelty, neglect and four years' willful absence are charges made by Mary Rischmann, 812 Findlay street, in her suit for a divorce from John Rischmann, 3692 Carson street, Cheviot.  She also seeks restoration of her former name, Daiber, and to cut him off from all interest in her property.

In her suit for a divorce from Joseph Robinson, to whom she was married June 23 of last year, Nellie Robinson charges he beat and abused her, and on one occasion, she alleges, he left the gas jets open when he left home, and her life was imperiled.  She seeks restoration of her maiden name, Stured.

Alleging that she left him and their two children, and for four years has lived with one John Powers, Robert Alvis is suing for a divorce from Florence Alvis.
