Share-a-Husband Plan Wrecked on Rocks of Discord Wife Consents Until Other Woman Gets More Than Half; Both Lose. CHICAGO. The share-the-husband plan is bound to fail if either the wife or the sweetheart wants more than her half of his time.

That's the warning that Mrs. Mary Petersen, 49 years old, wife of Nelson Petersen, gave to Mrs. Caroline 1933 Bertram, 51 years old, a widow, in when Caroline lost her husband and Mary consented to share Nelson with her-Nelson having been Caroline's school days' sweetheart. They were to have Nelson's company on alternate nights, with a special schedule governing holidays and his birthday, January 28. Trouble came, it developed in a Chicago court the other day, when Petersen stopped alternating.

Details of the extramarital time table were explained to the somewhat startled Judge Rudolph F. Desort. Mrs. Petersen had a suit for separate maintenance pending. She had her husband in court because he owed her $30 under a $6 a week temporary support order.

"I can't pay," said Petersen. "I had an accident in the yards and lost my job. The accident was my wife's fault. I was under mental strain and she was responsible." "No, your honor," interrupted Mrs. Petersen, "he was thinking about that other woman." Petersen's attorney, Hugh R.

Porter, explained that after the death of Bertram old flames had burned anew and Petersen began to see Mrs. Bertram a good deal. The result, he said, was an understanding between the two women whereby they would share Petersen. There was no animosity, Porter added. Mrs.

Petersen and her attorney, Martin Gross, however, contended she consented to the arrangement only after Petersen ordered her to. At any rate, difficulties had developed by January, 1935, according to two letters introduced by Porter. Unfair Competition, Says Wife. They were written by Mrs. Petersen to Mrs.

Bertram. One of them said, in part: "Mr. Petersen, my husband, is supposed to be home for his birthday and he is going to be home. If you want to come Monday night for coffee and cake it is all right for me, but remember you are not playing fair. "He is going to be home the nights he is supposed to be.

If not, he's not going to be at your house either. "Just because I don't fall all over him and love him to death, don't think I don't love him. I do." Petersen, who was living at Mrs. Bertram's boarding house, filed a cross bill to his wife's suit alleging one of three marriage ceremonies he went through with Mary was illegal. Mrs.

Petersen acknowledged that her romance with Nelson was dead by changing her separate maintenance petition to a bill for divorce. Judge Desort granted her the decree. But Mrs. Bertram won't get Petersen now to keep her company in her boarding house. The judge ordered Petersen to jail for six months for failing to keep up his temporary alimony payments to his wife.
