.Louis L. E. Stewart Alleges
He Has New Evidence
Also Asks $13,800 prom '
Former Wife. -
Louis Li E. Stewart, wealthy in
vestment broker and farm owner,
yesterday filed suit for $13,800
against his former wife, Nettie B.
Stewart, and also filed a motion for
a new trial of his wife's suit for a
divorce. She was granted a divorce
by District Judge Sears May 1, 1917.
He it president of the Stewart In
vestment Co.
Mrs. Stewart declared in her pe-
"tition for divorce, filed May 5, 1915,
in the district court, that her hus
band was worth $200,000. She asked
for $50,000 alimony. Both parties
to the suit were about SO years of
age at that time and each had a
married daughter by a former mar
riage.
Mr. Stewart asks for a new trial
of the divorce suit on the ground
that he has discovered new evi
dence. -
He asks for the $13,800 from his
former wife on the allegation that
her interference with land Jeals re
sulted in filling his clients with dis
trust and deprived him of this jum
in profit.
Mr. Stewart x relates that on
April 9, 1912, he and his wife en
tered into an agreement whereby
she signed away her interest in a
number of his farms in exchange
for certain valuable considerations
which he gave her, the agreement
to become effective and be in full
settlement of alimony in case she
sued1 him for a divorce, He says
that, by her alleged interference in
his' land deals, - she broke ' this
agreement, "
