SUBSEQUENT TO
DAMAGE ACTION
LOS ANGELES, Feb. 26. (U.P.)
Closely following her alienation of
affections suit for $100,000 damages
from her father-in-law, Mrs. Alice
D. Hughes today launched a divorce
action against Ernest Hughes charging
desertion and non-support.
The woman charged that Hughes
virtually has deserted her since she
was forced to go to Phoenix, Ariz.
a year ago for her health.
She asserted Hughes visited her
only once in Phoenix and that he
brought along Daisy Sweatnam
named as co-defendant in the damage
action filed recently.
At Phoenix Mrs. Hughes charged,
her husband persuaded her to cash
a worthless draft which caused her
financial embarrassment and the
loss of her automobile.
In the alienation of affections
suit, Mrs. Hughes charged John N.
Hughes, wealthy investment broker
and her father-in-law, and his wife,
Annie L. Hughes, had conspired to
entice their son from her.
The
couple was married in 1915.
Mrs. Sweatnam allegedly participated in the asserted conspiracy.
