BITES HIS BRIDE
Young
Wife Fears Husband
May Eat Her.
Seattle, Wash., Aug. 17- Be-
cause he bites her to accentuate
his affection, Mrs. Mattie Hag
way has asked the superior court
of King county to grant her a di-
vorce from Hecker Hagway and
$60 a month alimony.
Mrs. Hagway says that the
first intimation she had that her
husband was a biter came imme-
diately after the wedding cere-
mony, May Id, 1907. While de-
livering the customary saluta-
tion out of her neck. The wound
was painful, but she took it as a
product of playfulness.
But he repeated the operation
on the evening of July 4. after he
had been out with a i^arty of
friends. Later in the month,
after they had returned home
from the theatre, he asked her
how she enjoyed the play and at
the same time bit her right ear.
This time she kicked, but he only
leaned over and chewed the other
ear.
The statement is made in the
complaint that some of Mrs.Hag
way's friends have suggested
that Mr. Hagway have his teeth
pulled out in order to make him
harmless, but she expresses the
lelief that he would procure a
set of false teeth laager and
stronger than those he has now
and relapse into his former
habits
