Millionaire’s Wife
Denied Divorce;
No Cruelty Seen
SEATTLE, W— Mrs. Letha E.
Woodley, wife of the millionaire
president of Pacific Northern Air
lines, was denied a divorce Mon
day by King County Superior
Judge Ward W. Roney.
In handing down a decision at
the end of a two-week hearing,
Judge Roney found that Mrs.
Woodley, 31, had not established
grounds for divorce on her con
tention of cruelty.
Commenting on the attractive
plaintiff’s testimony her husband
fiad embarrassed her on a number
of occasions, the judge asked:
“What wife hasn’t been embar
rassed by her husband ”
Referring further to the promi
nent Anchorage Airline operator,
the judge said “He has lived a
rough and tumble existence, bat
tling first the elements and then
his business competitors; when he
goes home to his family he per
haps does not have the finesse of
a Continental lover. But I don’t
think that constitutes cruelty.”
Woodley had not filed a coun
ter-suit and testified several times
during the trial he had tried to
reconcile with hih wife. At issue
mainly were the grounds for di
vorce and a property settlement.
Mrs. Woodley’s attorneys indi
cated they would appeal to the
Washington State Supreme Court.
Judge Roney praised both of
the Woodleys highly. He said he
thought Mrs. Woodley was “a
wonderful mother.” And the air
lines president as a man “with one
of the keenest minds it has ever
been my privilege to watch in
action.”
“It is singularly noteworthy,” he
commented further, “that infidel
ity of any kind has been totally
absent from testimony in the trial.
It is tragic, really, that such good
people as I believe Mr. and Mrs.
Woodley to be can’t get along.
They are both thoroughly honest.”
