WENDE's Reason for Leaving Wife-She Got Separation-Mrs. Christian SMITH WENDE says She was left in Delaware Avenue Home in the Cold. Mrs. Christiana SMITH WENDE, wife of Dr. Grover W. WENDE, the skin specialist, and sister-in-law of Health Commissioner Ernest WENDE, secured a separation from her husband in special term of supreme court yesterday. She based her complaint on alleged desertion by her husband. She was allowed alimony of #100 a month by Justice WHITE. Mrs. WENDE is the daughter of John H. SMITH of 806 Ferry Street. Her first husband was Frank M. KERR, who died about four years ago. She married Dr. WENDE about two years ago. When Mrs. WENDE came into court she was accompanied by her sister, Mrs. Eva SMITH MELDRUM, and her attorney. Mrs. WENDE was dressed stylishly in a London smoke street dress and wore a large black hat covered with black ostrich plumes. "I married Dr. WENDE on June 22, 1907," she said on taking the witness stand. "We lived together at 501 Delaware Avenue until last January, when Dr. WENDE left me. He said that I did not care for him and that he was not going to live with me any longer. He said I didn't care for him when we got married. But it was not so." Mrs. WENDE said that after her husband told her that he would not live with her any longer, he packed up his things and moved out of the house. "Later he had the gas meter taken out," she said. "I was left along so went to my father's home. When I was sick Dr. WENDE did not come to see me, but he sent a doctor. I have not seen him since he left me last January." Mrs. MELDRUM, the sister, told practically the same story. The attorney for Mrs. WENDE then took the stand and testified that he had a talk with Dr. WENDE soon after being called into the case; that Dr. WENDE told him he thought his wife did not love him and that he had decided not to live with her any longer. He says Dr. WENDE told him he was making about $5,000 a year in his practice. "How much alimony do you ask?" said Justice WHITE. The lawyer said that $100 a month was all that was asked. "You are modest in your demands," said the court. "I would have given you more if you had asked it." The action was not opposed except that an attorney for the husband appeared to object to the granting of alimony. There are no children as a result of the marriage, but Dr. WENDE has a son by a former wife. Submitted by Kathy Helmer Kathle7297@aol.com
