Williams, Joe

DIVORCE vs. Incest charge

Source: Kingman Star 12-1-1911

After a separation which lasted only about six months Joe Williams and wife, of Yeddo are again living happily together, the suit for divorce has been dismissed and a happy reconciliation is the result. About a week ago they met at church, clasped hands and were soon in an affectionate embrace. Instead of going to the home of her father, Mrs. Williams accompanied her husband to their old home, where Joe has been staying alone most of the time since their separation. The next day they both went to Covington and in the presence of Judge Schoonover and her attornies Mrs. Williams asked the case filed against her husband for divorce and to set aside a joint deed be dismissed. This the honorable gentleman did and the costs were soon paid and the happy couple returned home. The case of the state vs. Joseph Williams, charging him with incest and criminal assault upon Zola Williams has been set for trial on December 12.
