At the July term Lee Collins will tell the court his matrimonial troubleswith Paralee Collins. His complaint filed in the circuit clerk's office is very brief. He says his wife would not work, that she neglected their children, showed no affection for them, and in March of last year, without the least cause or excuse left him, declaring that she would no longer share his bed and board. Green & Green are the attorneys for Collins. Follow up: Because a child was born to his wife eighteen months after he left her, Lee Collins sued Paralee Collins for a divorce.
