What Happened
To This Wife
ATLANTA, Ga., Jan. 6. —Policeman
F. H. Womack, whose wife has left him
and who has been ordered by the court
to pay her alimony, declares that Mrs
Womack’s mind was unbalanced by
constant visits to palmists and for
tune tellers, of whom there are many
in Atlanta.
Mrs. Womack said her reason for
leaving her husband, it will be re
membered, was that he was a traffic
officer on a downtown corner and spem
too much time looking at the pretty
gills who passed and that he finally
fed in love with one of them and neg
lected her.
But the officer tells a different story.
He says the fortune tellers poisoned
bis wife’s mind against him and final
ly unhinged her mind entirely.
