CHEYLESMORE DIVORCE

UNHAPPY MARRIED LIFE. ALLEGATIONS AGAINST HUSBAND '. \ - Australian a.nd N.Z. Cable Association. (Reed. 5.5 p.m.) LONDON, Deo. 2. The hearing of the case in which Lady Cheylesmore, formerly Miss Nora Mary Parker, of Tasmania, is petitioning for a divorce from her husband, the . fourth baron, whom she married in 1914 when she was a chorus girl, was continued today. Lady Cheylesmore stated in evidence that their life in Alberta was very rough and comfortless. She had even to dine with the servants. Lord Cheylesmore was annoyed because she accompanied him, and he said he could do better if he were a bachelor. Her husband drank heavily and was abusive, and said he did not. want her, as his parents were* antagonistic to his marriage. Her mother-in-law taunted her continuously until she was reduced to a state of collapse, and in desperation told her husband she was going to have a <?hild. After that matters improved somewhat. When she revealed to her husband that no child was coming, Lord Cheylesmore declared that she could stay with him no longer. She claimed that her marriage was one of affection, despite Lord Cheyiesmore's denial.
