She Wants A Divorce

Anna E.Mahon, who wants a divorce from J.T.Mahon, has filed a sensational 
complaint in the State Circuit Court which recites that she ws compelled to 
support him and put up with ill-treatment besides. He forced her, she says, to 
give him money by threats against he rlife.
They were married at Vancouver,Wash., in October 1904, and lved togeether less 
than a month when Mrs. Mahan said she left him, fearing to remain longe rin 
his society. She alleges that prior to their union he represented to her that 
he had a good paying psition in San Fransisco and was industrious and of good 
habits. All of this, the wife avers, proved to be false. She says he had no 
emploment in the Bay City, drank to excess and would not support her. She had 
$1200 and she ascertained soon after their wedding that was why he wooed and 
won her.
He turned out ot be a cruel husband, she alleges and his demands for money 
were frequent.She says he forced her one day to enter a bank and draw $35 for 
him, which she did to avoid a scene on the street. She further alleges that he 
psent ober $200 ofe her money and choked her to make her obey his demands for 
more.
Mrs.Mahan also states that Mahan accused her of flirting with a man at the 
theater and threatened to choke her to death if she did not admit it. She asks 
the court to allow her to resume her maiden name,Johnson.
