      DISMISSES DIVORCE SUIT, BUT WILL FILE ANOTHER
Shelbyville Woman makes Sensational Charges In Complaint Against Husband
SHELBYVILLE, Ind., Sept. 3. - The opening of the September term of the Superior Court brought the dismissal of the suit for divorce Mrs. Charles F. Schmoe filed last May against Charles F. Schmoe, furniture manufacturer of this city, but it did not bring a settlement of their troubles, and it is said that another complaint will soon be filed. It is said that Mr. Schmoe has agreed to contribute $20 per week toward the support of Mrs. Schmoe and the children, and that he will give her considerable alimony in the final settlement of the case.
Mrs. Schmoe's allegations are highly sensational, she alleged cruel and inhuman treatment, mentioning that Mr. Schmoe had once knocked her down a stairway, and that he had gained absolute control of $3,600 of her money by forcing her to sign a deed for real estate they owned jointly. She also alleged that Mr. Schmoe boasted of his amours with other women. In her former complaint for divorce she asked $10,000 alimony.
