Mrs. Nona Cannon. 2fi years old,
widow of th late A. L. Rawltrer. has
filed suit for divorce on the ground
of cruelty against J. Martin Cannon
of Florence, whom she married No
vember 26, five months after her
first husband died.
Mis. Cannon for the first time made a
statement explaining her course, de
claring that notwithstanding the best
intentions on her part she had been aub
Jecled to undeserved notoriety and
criticism.
Mrs. Cannon declared the marriage be
tween herself and Mr. Cannon had never
been a love match that she consented
to the marriane while auf feting from tha
shock of Mr. Rawltzcr's death an desir
ing protection nnd a home for her 2-year-old
daughter. Mr. Cunnon, she said, had
never been affcctlonute toward her and
had been disappointed because he re
ceived only a small sum of iney from
her after the marriage.
Mrs. Cannon In her petition chargea
that Mr. Cannon refused to talk to her
tor days at a time, that he had no occu
pation, that he uced abusive language
to her and that "his entire course of con
duct' was cruel.
