08 Jan 1914 Charging infidelity and naming Lyman Fry as her paramour, Burton McKinley, head of the McKinley Trucking company, yesterday brought suit for divorce against his wife, Mabel McKinley, and asks the custody of their three children; Ella, aged 7; Robert, aged 6, and Charles, aged 4. The suit is the outgrowth of a sensation of three months ago. McKinley intercepted a letter, written by Fry to Mrs. McKinley, arranging a meeting at Huntertown, where the woman was visiting. He learned that Fry, a youngster aged 19 and a driver for the company, had left for Huntertown on an interurban car, and the husband gave chase in an automobile, arriving at the trysting place before Fry and administering a frightful beating to the young man when the latter appeared. Since the exposure McKinley has not lived with his wife and had kept the children with him.
