    3. Bloomington (Monroe County, Indiana) Telephone, January 26, 1934, p. 1. WIFE CHARGES HUBBY DRINKS; VISE VERSA A suit for divorce, filed by Lorita B. Blish against Meedy S. Blish, prominent Seymour residents, has been sent to this county for trail on a change of venue from Jackson circuit court. The plaintiff asks alimony of $10,000 and seeks the restoration of her former name, Lorita Bollinger. The defendant has filed a cross complaint. In the divorce action, Mrs. Blish charges her husband with being a habitual drunkard in the habit of becoming intoxicated daily, and alleged that he struck her at one time injuring her spine. She claims that she suffered a nervous breakdown and was sent to Cleveland, O., by her physician, and that during her stay there, the plaintiff failed to pay any attention to her. In his cross complaint, Blish charges that his wife was in the habit of becoming intoxicated and that she lived extravagantly causing him to accumulated debts. The couple has been married and divorced before, and it is set out in the complaints that Blish still owes a balance of $3,384.25 to the Jackson County Loan and Trust Company on money he borrowed to pay his wife alimony in 1924. The second marriage was May 29, 1932, and the separation July 27, 1927, 1932. Mrs. Blish is represented by Attorney Thomas H. Branaman and Blish by Edward P. Eisner.
