Divorce suit reveals drunkenness and infidelity claims
Depositions filed by Mrs. Mary Tucker, widow of General John A. Logan, accuse William Tucker of habitual drunkenness and improper conduct with Myrtle Platt. Attorney Gately says private detectives followed Tucker and Platt in Portland and Tucker was advised to let his wife file for desertion to avoid publicity. A war department letter mentions a ten day delirium tremens hospital stay while en route from the Philippines. A nurse testified Tucker was heavily interrogated during his Washington stay.
