Woman Sends Husband to Germany After Bitter Divorce
August Miller, a young German immigrant, came to the United States three years ago after a family feud. He married a widow with money and started a milk business near Woodhaven. Their marriage failed due to combative stepchildren and jealousy. After a history of beatings, fines, and court actions, the wife sought divorce and alimony, paid his fines, and urged him to leave. She offered $500 to depart, placed funds with Justice Betts, and he sailed for Germany. He was to receive the remaining money upon boarding the steamship, but the wife followed and intends to pursue him in Germany.
