LOS ANOEL.ES, Jxily 7 (UP)
Oliver Hardy, film comic, made bis
gsmbllng conform with his weighty,
rotund figure, Mrs. Myrtle Hardy
charged today In a cross complaint
for divorce.
Hardy, no piker, dropped $30,000
on an Agua Calient home race and
followed this with a $3000 turn at
the roulette wheels, his wife averred.
The comedian filed a divorce suit
last week, alleging Mrs. Hardy drank
to excess. This charges she denied
In her cross suit today.
It was the second action brought
against Hardy since he decided to seek
a divorce. His wife's sister, Mrs. Mary
P. Hunter, asked $50,000 damages she
claimed were suffered when Hardy
beat and kicked her last June 39.
Mrs. Hardy's suit alleged the fight
started when the actor falsely accused
her of "trying to check up on his
conduct with a blonde," and then
slapped her sister and his chauffeur.
Then, she said, he armed himself
with two shotguns and remained up
all night.
Mrs. Hardy claimed her husband
earns $8000 a month and that their
community property is worth $100,
000. She asked $1400 a month ali
mony and a $4000 attorney's fee.
