NOAH  WEBSTER
FILES  AMENDED  COMPLAINT
-------------
IN  CASE  IN  WHICH  HE
IS  SEEKING  DIVORCE
FROM  ANNA  WEBSTER.
-------------

          Noah Webster, a prominent resident of Moral township, filed an amended complaint in circuit court today in the case in which he is seeking an absolute divorce from Mrs. Anna Webster.  The original complaint was filed May 19, 1914, and was rather a severe arraignment of the way Mrs. Webster is alleged to have acted, but in the supplemental complaint the allegations are made even stronger.
          The marriage of the couple was solemnized in Cincinnati, January 31, 1899, and the separation occurred November 20, 1913.  Mr. Webster says his wife abandoned him on that date without cause.
          He charges her with cruel and inhuman treatment and goes into detail regarding the manner in which she treated him.  He says she cursed him, threatened to strike him and to mash his mouth and that she fussed and quarreled with him almost continuously.  He alleges she repeatedly threatened to leave him on the slightest pretexts.  It is charged that she refused the hospitality of his home to his children by a former marriage and at the same time imposed her children by a former marriage on him so that he had to support them, both married and single.
          At the time of the separation the couple were living near London, and Mr. Webster charges that his wife carried away all his personal property, leaving him not even so much as a bed.  Mr. and Mrs. Webster lived at Indianapolis for several years, but they finally removed to the country, he says, at the request of his wife, who was dissatisfied with city life.  Then, he says, she became dissatisfied with life in the country and before she had been there six months was insistent about returning to the city as she had been to leave it.
