Alba and Anna Smith

Return to Extractions Index.



The Seattle Star, February 18, 1909

SHE DIDN'T WEAR CLOTHES THAT SUITED HIM

Because her clothes did not meet his approval, Alba Smith lost his love for his wife, deserted and refused to support her, and this morning Mrs. Smith commenced action for divorce in the superior court.

At least this is what is set forth in the complaint of Anna Smith, wife of Alba Smith. In her information she states that her husband has accused her of associating with other men, and that repeatedly he has refused to go out with her on the ground that her clothes were not as good as his.
