Mrs. Hightower Asks Divorce

Charging that her husband is guilty of habitual intoxication, that he threatened her, that he neglected his business and that he frequently stayed away from home all night, Mrs. Ida Cotney Hightower has filed suit for divorce from D. S. Hightower. The couple were married in 1908 and separated in 1913. Mrs. Hightower asks the court to grant her the custody of her two sons, Willie, aged 6 and Woodrow Wilson, aged 13 months.
