ASKS DIVORCE FROM
CHURCH EVANGELIST
Mrs. ,Paul Green Alleges Husband
“Maintained Familiar, Improper,
and Immoral Relations With
Various Women.”
(Lincoln Journal.)
Mrs. Ruth Green filed petition in
district court Wednesday afternoon
against Paul Green, church evangel
ist, asking a divorce on alleged
grounds of extreme cruelty and al
leged failure for the past two years
to support her. Mr. and Mrs. Green
were married January 27, 1918, in
Kansas, the petition states, and have
two children, of whom the mother asks
custody. It is alleged in the petition
that the husband '“has maintained fa
miliar, improper and immoral relations
with various women whose names the
plaintiff is unable to state, and has
conducted clandestine and familiar cor
respondence with various women.”
It is also charged in the petition
that prior to the birth of one of their
children, the husband informed his
wife that he had no love for her or
the expected child.
The petition states: “In his occupa
tion of church evangelist in Ne
braska, he has persisted over the ob
jections of his wife in associating with
himself and in seeking the society of
various women in preference to his
wife and in refusing to permit his wife
to accompany him in connection with
his work as an evangelist.”
The wife askes absolute divorce, cus
tody of the two children, and a re
straining order from the court prohib
iting Mr. Green from selling any of
the family household goods, or mo
lesting the plaintiff and the children.
Announcement of the marriage, in
March, of Ray J. McBride, of Butte,
Montana, formerly of O'Neill, and
Miss Helen Hoagland, of Billings,
Montana, has been received by O'Neill
friends.
