>From the Cincinnati newspaper, The Enquirer, Tuesday, June 26, 1888:
"Julia BAUER was one of those unfortunate young women who, listening to
the loft nothings and sweet somethings of a young man, fell by the
wayside among the thorns and thistles of immortality. Frank MEYER was
her evil spirit. In the summer days of 1883, so said Julia, he led her
by seductive wiles and golden promises from the path of virtue. In due
time, the population of Cincinnati was increased by one. Julia was
unable to induce Frank by ordinary requests to right the wrong he had
done. She therefore appealed to the blind-fold goddess. Rather than be
weighed in her magic balance he married Julia. He at once said he could
not support her and they separated in 'Squire Bloom's' temple of
justice, ne'er to meet again as husband and wife. She went to her
parents and he to his. He would not visit her, or even recognize her on
the street. She sued for divorce and Judge Evans granted it yesterday."
