Dallas Texas Newspapers More of March 1890

The papers were filed in a sensational divorce suit in the office of the district court to-day. Mrs. P. J. PUCKETT brings suit for a divorce against P. W. PUCKETT. Plaintiff alleges in her petition that she married defendant in this city on the 22nd day of December 1887, and lived with him until December, 1888. At the time of the marriage she supposed that she was the lawful wife of PUCKETT, and their union was free from strife until she made a terrible discovery that PUCKETT had deceived her; even worse that that. She was the victim of a bigamous marriage, and had no claim on the sacred name of wife. In Craig county, Virginia, August 24, 1880, PUCKETT wooed and won Miss Martha A. MILLS. The lady is a resident of that county, according to the petition of plaintiff and has never been divorced from her recroant spouse. For these good and sufficient reasons Mrs. PUCKETT No. 2 asks that the marriage be declared null and void and for other relief generally extended in such cases.
