An Old Man's Jealousy
When Richard K. Crane married his wife Clara Belle it was another case of an old man's darling. He was past the meridian of life, while she had just witnessed the sunrise of womanhood. He was over 50 years old and she was about 22. They were married in 1877 [1887]. He was intensely jealous of her, as is the case in so many such marriages, and without cause, too. He would get angry if she spoke to any man, and scold and abuse her for it. Finally his jealousy culminated in physical abuse. In 1888 he beat her and knocked he down with a chair.
Then she left him, and they have not lived together since. He did not provide for her as he ought to have done. She sued for divorce. He did not answer the petition. Judge Maxwell hear the case yesterday morning, and granted a decree. E. J. Franks was her attorney.
