Chelsea Parties In Divorce Court

Chelsea Parties in Divorce Court

About a month ago John Faulkner, of Chelsea, filed a bill for divorce against his wife, Clara Faulkner. They were married in 1871 and have children aged 26, 24, 15, and 12 years. He alleged that his wife deserted him two years ago, and made a rather general charge against her of adultery.

Now Mrs. Faulkner puts in an answer in the nature of a cross-bill denying the desertion. She charges her husband with being an habitual drunkard, with calling her indecent names, while charging her with immoral practices; that after their house was burned the husband sold off everything and deserted her. She also charges him with adultery.
