Democrat- September 15, 189g. A WKONGED WIFE. Husban.l Hired Detectives to Watch Her, WAS RAISED IN SEDALIA Her Maiden Name Mis.s Helen Jackson and She Married Mr. Geo E. Mrs.

Helen A. Verger, formerly Miss Helen Jackson, who was raised in Sedaliu, and whose domestic troubles have heretofore been referred to in the emocrat was written of as follows in Kanras City Journal Helen A. Y'erger has filed a cross bill to her petition for divorce now pending in the circuit court, which is fall of sensational allegations. A few weeks ago George E. a well- known St.

Louisan, brought divorce proceedings against his wife, alleging desertion. Service was had by publication, the plaintiff husband alleging that the whereabouts of his wife were not known. Mrs. Verger has been residing quietly at Clinton, seeking that place, according to her cross bill, as a refuge against the abuse of her husband. Mrs.

Verger alleges that her husband wrongfully brought suit against Charles A. Scruggs, of St. Louis, asking for $50,000 for the alienation of his affections. She says that in this petition she was charged with meeting Scruggs, taking luncheons with him, and other unwifely conduct, in the city of St. Louis.

While residing in St. Louis, she alleges he got up a scheme to write biographical sketches of prominent St. Louis people, and, although he received money in ad vance for subscriptions for his book, the biographies have fai-ed to appear, and since that time he has been by detectives and officers uriiii her life became unbearable. Her she al'eges, was cruel to her and in this respect had lu lieallh and brought on nervou prostration which has superinduced heart disease, from whicn she will never recover. One he little episodes of the residence in St, Louis consisted of a family buiwl, which resulted in her fleeing from his home to that of her par.ents Her husband followed her an 1 forcibly took possession of their little boy, George, by means of knocking down a door.

Mrs. Verger sets out that her husband wuih such a terror to her that she often fainted in his presence. That he would grab her by the wrists and by sheer force terrorize her until she had to use the subterfuge of going to a sanitarium for medical treatment to escape him. she says, while thty ''lived in St. Louis, found delighi in charging her with unwifely conduct, hiring detectives to watch her movements in hope of finding something incriminating and then disguised hini'ielf in order to be satisfied that she was true to him and the detecMves were not misleading him.
