Thompson, Jr., Ref used to Wed Her and She Sues. Helen pt GoodeVe wants to be mar ried, bnt she ays Robert H. Thomp son, Jr's promise to wed has kept her from accepting the overtures of others of the male sex. She filed a $50,000 breach of promise suit against him in the Circuit Court yesterday. Thompson, who is the manager of an auto company, declares that the suit Is part of a blackmailing scheme, and that the woman Is an adventuress. He has retained an attorney to look after his interests. In her complaint the woman says Thompson asked her on June 10 if she would marry him provided he asked her to, and that she said she would, and obtained from him the promise to marry within a reasonable time. This he has steadfastly refused to do, she declares, although she requested as late as September 30 that he do so. That Robert L. Hofthine is niggardly and unarfectionate is the allegation of Nina R. Hoffhine In a divorce complaint filed with County Clerk Fields yester day. She says she was married May 29, 1907. at Beatrice, Neb., and that they have one child. Ignored and humili ated at every opportunity, compelled to give an account of her expenditures to the last penny, refered to as a "mill stone" about her husband's neck, and knocked down after she returned from the hospital and while she held their babe In her arms, she desires that this turbulent wedded life cease.
