Yesterday, Margarethe, the spouse of the insurance agent August Mayerle, was awarded a divorce through Judge Goodwin. The couple lived in the house of Margarethe’s mother, Frau Naegele who stated that Mayerle had frequently abused his wife, one time had beaten her with a kitchen stool. Other witnesses claimed to know of even worse things. A private detective stated he had followed the accused for ten successive nights and saw Mayerle, accompanied by a 19-year-old blonde, disappear into the back of Lincoln Park, also to have visited a certain house.
