THE BEE: OMAHA, THURSDAY, APRIL 15. 1920, NAMES NURSE IN SUIT AGAINST . DR, 17. 0. HENRY .Wife of Former Omaha Physi ; cian Charges Husband With Infatuatioa for An other Woman. ' , Filing suit for divorce 'from Dr. t W. O. Henry, 61 years old, former -r-, Lord Lister hospital surgeon here, 'on ground of desertion, attorney for Mrj. Henry in Los Angeles was in structed bv the court to prepare a v new complaint naming Hazel Hen derson, nurse, said to be employed v ir. Df. Henrv's office there. Dr. Henry and Mrs. Fanny L.' Henry have been married tor years. They made their home in Omaha for 20 years and are widely known in the city. During his resi- : dence in Omaha Dr. Henry was a partner of his brother, Dr. E. C. llenry, pcrsent head of Lord Lister hospital. Graduated in Omaha. Miss Henderson is a graduate of the Lister hospital. She is 23 years old. Older graduates of the hospi- ': tal say that the attraction between she and Dr. Henry began during ; her training at the hospital here. She is described as exceptionally i fcandsome. Soon after her gradua- ; tton from the hospital she moved to ' Los Angeles and became the doc tor's office girl, they say. 1 , The reputed love of Miss Hender son for Dr. Henry, despite his age, was brought out by Mrs. Fanny L. - Henrv in her testimony in a suit for divorce on the grounds of desertion, and made the subject of a powerful court room sermon by Judge J. C. Jackson on the subject of "Why a man late in life should change his wife." Denies Desertion Decree. When the facts came out that another woman was involved, the judge denied the decree on the . grounds of desertion and directed ' the attorney to file a new complaint, i naming Miss Henderson as the co respondent. After 38 years of wedded happi- ness and now in the sunset of life, Mrs. Henry declares, a younger and more beautiful woman has stolen the ; love of her husband and asked her 1 to give him up. v Miss Henderson wrote Mrs. Henry, ' confessing her love and broached a "love proposition" in which she asked that Dr. Henry- be . given up to her. Heads Wife's Reply. ; Judge Jeckson read the wife's re v ply and declared it a powerful ser mon and the exposition of a "sin in .the sight of God." ; ; Mrs. Henry persisted that she did1 not want to go into- divorce court, but that finally her feelings were crushed and her ' outraged dignity i demanded retribution. Dr. Henry, she declared, has asked ? her to Jeave so that he could cer l tainly vfbe off wiih the old love j and oftlvith the new." . ;!: In hw note to Mrs. Henry, Miss Henderson wrote in part: -' Admits Love for Doctor. "I really loved the doctor long j before he really knew who I was . . . . It was no plot or pre i meditated plan that weaned him , away from you.' It was simply a case of loving him it) spite of my . self." Mrs. Henry's letter upon which the sermon of Judge Jackson was , based, said: .., ; "Our friendship, my sorrow and my forgiveness are small compared to how you stand in the sight of God. One of the commandments 1 says: Though shalt not covet thy 1 neighbor's property.' It includes a husband. You have no right to my husband. This is God's law and " not mine." - . Took Nurse Into Home. , , She told Miss Henderson that the . doctor was 23 years old, and she 5 19 years old when they were mar ried. They were happy together, ; sharing their joys, sorrows and dis ' appointments. "Now you come along and ask "that we get a divorce and sin in the "sight of God to satisfy your own selfish desire. "You say that you love the doc J tor with a passionate love. You begged to be taken ino our home as a daugher when you knew in ' ycur heart you wanted a wife's place. Thus you deceived us. ."It is strange that after so many years of Christiaa4iving the doctor should waver from the stand which was right, but he only demonstrates that he is a man with the weakness of a man. "I wish you love and happiness, but I pray God may keep you from this awful step. There will be no true happiness in it." Mrs. Henry added in her letter to Miss Henderson that the attraction between a girl 23 years old and a man 61 years old is unnatural. Man Held for Alleged .

Nebraska men and wom en have been held in high esteem and have occupied positions of in fluence and importance. The grad uates of our educational institutions stand among the foremost in science and letters, and our statesmen have ever made themselves felt in the councils of the nation. "The foundation of progress and prosperity in our state has always been its agricultural interests. The wealth of the state rests upon the intelligent industry and skill of the farming element. Unce described as the great American desert, Ne braska has been transformed, through hard work and scientific methods into a veritable garden spot. Although scarcity of help greatly curtailed their efficiency, no class of citizens in the union did more to sustain the allied peoples and their armies during the war than the farmers. They must not in future be surrounded with hampering re strictions, onerous regulations or adverse market conditions which prevent -the fulfillment of this duty toward the, millions of people the world over who depend upon them for food supply. It is to the solu tion of these nrohlems for the neo- ple of Our state that our minds and energies must be turned. Nebraska Labor Patriotic. "Labor in Nebraska is especially honorable, and the laboring man there is held in high esteem. Through his intelligence he occupies an im portant place in the community. He is not carried away by vague or idle theories of government and does not follow false or revolutionary leaders. Nebraska labor maintains a sane and patriotic attitude towards our institutions and stands ever ready to defend them. It is for all of us to see that he always receives the consideration due him and his family and that he be not allowed to suffer in competition with cheaper labor in or from foreign lands. The community spirit in Ne braska is the basis of our prosperity and progress. There the welfare of the whole people means the welfare of the individuals. More than in any other state in the union does this principle bear full fruit. Our pioneer people have not forgotten that it was the integrity and pa triotism of the communities of col onial days from which sprang the great principles of government. handed down to "us by our fore fathers. It should, be our duty as Nebraskans to further encourage community interest in all that goes to make our people happy and prosperous. 1 am not unmindful or the very cordial remarks that have been nrfade this evening with reference to myself, speaking of the great of fice with which you have been kind enough to connect my name, that my whole life has been devoted to the service of our country, and while in no sense seeking it, I feel that no patriotic American could decline to serve in that high posi tion if called upon to do so by his people." Searches State for Sister '. He Has Not Seen for Years Harrold, S. D., April 14. (Spe cial.) Jesse fiaumgardner of this city is making a statewide search for his sister whom he has not seen since she was 3 years old.

In later years Bechtel returned to Wisconsin with the new? that one of the girls had died of diptheria and that the other had married. Baumgardner is search ing for the married sister, not know ing her present name. M'KELVIE MAKES ATTACK ON 6.0. P.

Strike Breaks Up in West. Chicago, April 14. Improved freight traffic conditions were re ported today in the central west, with "insurgent" railroad men re turning to work at several points, but the industrial situation in Ohio and Michigan reached a crisis as a result of stoppage of fuel supplies and "in the far west a dozen pas senger trains were reported stalled in southern California. Both insurgent leaders and offi cials of the 'loyal" brotherhoods predicted the battle of the strikers wouldbe a "lingering affair," but brotherhood heads declared the in surgents gradually were losing strength. Railroads in the Chicago area de clared that 50 per cent of the switch engines in the district were operat ing, largely with the help of more "loyal" brotherhood men from other cities. Railroad officials nd newly employed men were aiding in moving freight. - Brighter at Cleveland.
