Harry Roth's Divorce Bill Takes Bad Turn for Him.
Harry P. Roth started out to get a divorce from Mrs. Kate Bond Roth, charging that for two years she had abandoned him by preferring to live on her farm at Bartlett instead of in Memphis with him, but she came back with a cross-bill seeking separate support and maintenance. Yesterday morning Chancellor Heiskell got his first whack at the situation when she asked for attorney's fee and alimony pending the hearing of the case. His lawyer made a strong plea against it on the ground that she had a farm worth from $5,000 to $7,000 and an income from the sale of her flowers of at least $60 per month, but failed to impress the court. Chancellor Heiskell held that he should pay Mrs. Roth's lawyer $50 to start with and pay her $50 out of his salary of $5,000 per year with the gas and electric company, this to be increased if Roth did not cooperate in having an early hearing of the case on its merits.
