to Anna Sedlacek's suit against him
for a divorce. -
The petition, which was prepared
several weeks ago by Attorney

o have been in communication with

, Because of her improper conduct
with the. detective, Sedlacek alleges,
Ihe ; legitimate ends and objects of
patrimony had been defeated and
' tois married life rendered intolerable.
Charging that his wie is an unfit
person to care for their two chil
dren, Stanley, 13 years old, and
Marry, 11 years old, Sedlacek asks
for their custody.
i The couple were married March
j3, 1905, in Omaha. "My wife was
a good woman until she met Arm
strong," declared Sedlacek. "She
yaa a faithful wife and a good
mother until this man came into her
;tlfe and prevailed on her to violate
her marriage vow. 1 hold Arm
strong responsible for wrecking my
(home,. 1
Threatened With Arrest
"When - appealed to him to let
.my wife alone, he begged me not to
'say anything about his attentions to
Mrs. Sedlacek, because, he said, he
Iwas afraid his wife would hear it
Jand leave him.. I said nothing about
the flair at the time in the hope
Armstrong would cease taking my
wife out. He continued to go with
her and Mrs. Sedlacek frequently
threatened to have me arrested if I
protested against her behavior.
