he said. “Nowhere else has It been
questioned. We did not tell custom
ers that the grape julep could he made

should certain things ho done, the
juice would ferment like any other
fruit and would develop an alcoholic
content.”

fies in Court.
Romance born of claaaroom and
campus, with the heroine footing the
bills, crashed Friday In divorce court.
Mrs. Alyce Roper, who testified she
had paid her husband's way through
a Creighton medical course for four
years, only to find him grown cold
with graduation, testified to abuse and
neglect at the hands of her lover,
Kenneth I., Roper, now a struggling
young doctor in Chicago.
"Once, last summer,” she related,
"when I wss in the hospital recover
ing from an operation, mother and I
telegraphed him that I needed money
and was ill. He replied that ha was
sorry but couldn’t do anything.”
Wed in I'apillion.
She aaid they had been married in
raptllion, August 20, J915, and that
they separated the first time in
June. 1922.
"He went to Chicago. I followed
him, and five times on one excuse
or another he sent m* back home.
On* time h* would «ay It was too
hot there for me—again he would not
have money to support me."
Indignation flashed In her eyes,
shaded piquantly In shadows of her
Monde hair and tlptllted taupe
toque, her youthful dimpled chin
nestled deep In the protecting depths
of the huge fur collar of her heavy
coat, she poised one satin slippered
foot in recollection and—
“—and he beat me," she testified.
"When I was helping him through
school he often heat me. Many times
T have had both eyes blackened and
lieen bruised all over tny body."
Mother Testifies.
Mrs. Arthur Mongene, S.i2 South
Twenty-sixth avenue, called to the
stand, corroborated her daughter's
testimony.
"One night I went to my daugh
ter’s home and found her ill from a
heating administered by her husband.
I stayed with her all night," Mrs.
Mongene testified.
"He never did support my daugh
ter."
Mrs. Koper asks restoration of her
maiden name, Alice Mongene. Judge
Day took the case under advisement.
