Through her attorneys Shannon & Shannon, Mrs. Caroline A. Haughawout today filed petition for divorce from her husband, the well known Carthage criminal layer, Thomas Bond Haughawout. the matter was promptly taken up by Judge Dabbs in circuit court at Joplin and the divorce granted this afternoon. The speedy disposal of the case was made possible only by the willingness of the defendant to enter appearance at once. He was in court at the time as attorney in the Chambers murder case.
By the court's finding, Mr. Haughawout is to pay his divorced wife $20 a month alimony. He also deeds to her the old Rombauer property at Sixth and Maple streets recently bought by them in his name. Only a month or two ago a reconciliation of the Haughawout domestic troubles was thought to have been effected, for after being nursed by his wife through a serious siege of pneumonia, which was the cause of their being reunited after a separation, the husband and wife purchased the Rombauer property with the proceeds of the sale of their Prospect avenue home, which was in the wife's name, and both took up their abode there. But the reconciliation was not for long and the divorce proceedings announced today followed.
In her petition Mrs. Haughawout sets forth that she was wedded to the defendant in LaFayette county, Wisconsin in 1866 and lived with him as his wife till 1903, demeaning herself and discharging all her duties as a faithful wife should, but that the defendant has offered such indignities to her as to render her condition intolerable.
Specifically she charges gross infidelity to the marriage vows - association with immoral women, and that he has conducted correspondence with some of these in which they addressed each other as "my darling," that all this has been carried on to such an extent and his affections have been so much and so continuously engrossed by such women that his affections for the plaintiff have been entirely alienated.
She alleges that he has spent very little of his time at his home of late, and when there exhibited such aggravation to the plaintiff as to afflict her with an unspeakable anguish; that he has continually made unjust charges against her, but that she has borne with these indignities and a great many other wrongs of the defendant toward her with all the patience she could command always hoping that are long the affection and devotion of his youth towards her would return; but that such hope has been blasted and that she can not longer endure such indignities.

T. BOND HAUGHAWOUT DEAD

Noted Criminal Lawyer Passed Away at 9 O'clock Last Night

Had Two Relapses of Pneumonia - Successful Career as an Attorney - Funeral Sunday Afternoon

T. Bond Haughawout died at his rooms at the Johns Building at 9 o'clock last night. His death was due to pneumonia, from which he had suffered two relapses within a few months. The end came peacefully and as one falling asleep. He had been unconscious for some time, and it was evident during the preceding afternoon that death was rapidly approaching.
Mr. Haughawout was one of the best known criminal lawyers in the southwest. He had made a record which in many respects had seldom been reached by attorneys. The history of his cases would make one of the most interesting and sensational books ever written of true life.
As a politician Mr. Haughawout gained a distinction which brought him into contact with the leading men of the country. A few years ago he lacked but a few votes in the Monett convention of being the Republican candidate for congress from this district. He was a forceful and an aggressive public speaker.
Mr. Haughawout was born in Lafayette county, Wisconsin, in 1845. His parents were natives of Pennsylvania. In 1863 he enlisted in Co. I, Second Wisconsin Calvary. His regiment suffered heavy losses during the war, but he escaped a wound. He served in the army until the close of the war.
In 1866 he and Miss Caroline Durand were married in Wisconsin, and in 1868 they moved to Jasper county, where he went to work on a farm. In 1873 he and his family removed to Carthage, where Mr. Haughawout went into the grocery that he spent his leisure moments in law study.
In 1875 he was admitted to practice at the Jasper county bar. A short time after this he was elected city attorney and in 1880 was elected prosecuting attorney of Jasper county. So efficient was his work that he was re-elected at the expiration of his first term. This started him in a practice in criminal law which continued to grow as the years went by, and at his death he was recognized as one of the foremost criminal lawyers in the southwest.
His first wife survives him, as also does his second wife, Miss Maud Hughes, to whom he was married on a few days ago.
Mr. Haughawout leaves four children, Mrs. L. R. Roberts, Mrs. Fred Smith, Bond Haughawout, jr., of this city and Mrs. Edith Clapper of South McAllister, I.T. The remains were taken to the residence of his daughter, Mrs. Smith, on Fall street, and the funeral will be held there Sunday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock. The Knights of Pythias will have charge of the funeral, and interment will be made in Park Cemetery.
It is expected the Jasper county bar will be largely represented, if the bar association does not attend in a body. Many friends of the deceased will come up from Joplin, Carterville, Webb City and Galena and it is not improbable that other cities will also be represented.

Funeral arrangements were announced on Saturday, May 2, 1903

FUNERAL TOMORROW AFTERNOON
Last Obsequies of the Late T. B. Haughawout to be Held at the Knell Rooms

The remains of T. B. Haughawout are lying at the Knell Undertaking parlors, where they were taken from the office rooms where he died. The funeral will be held from there tomorrow afternoon at 2:30 o'clock, under the auspices of the Knights of Pythias.
At the undertaking rooms the casket will be opened for friends to take a last look at the once familiar face, a short prayer will be offered by Dr. H. O. Scott, and the procession headed by the Knights, will form and march to the cemetery, where the beautiful ritualistic services of the order will be held. The family and immediate friends will ride out in carriages.
At the grave Hon. John H. Flanigan will deliver an address. The vicissitudes of the legal profession were never better illustrated than in Mr. Flanigan being called upon to pay the last tribute of respect to Mr. Haughawout. At one time, many years ago, a political matter made bitter enemies of the two men, and for years their enmity stopped at nothing to ruin the other, politically as well as professionally. So bitterly was this personal feud that the future of both men was materially affected by it. Yet circumstances brought them together again and at the last old animosities were completely lost sight of and they became good friends. Thus it is that John Flanigan, once the bitter enemy, becomes the friend to eulogize the dead and pay the last sad tribute to his memory.
The Carthage bar association met this afternoon at the office of Thomas & Hackney to take final action on participating in the funeral. In Joplin the bar association met at the courthouse this forenoon and made arrangement to send representatives to attend the funeral. It is likely several of the lawyer will make addresses at the cemetery.
The death of Mr. Haughawout recalls vividly the words he spoke at the funeral, of his old friend Judge Redburn, in Joplin but a few months ago. In closing he said: "Comrades, when the great reveille of creation is sounded, may we all meet in that fair country whence our friend has gone, where human faults and frailties are forgotten, where there are no judges, no juries, no heartaches and where the first prayer we were taught to lisp at our mother's knee shall find its full fruition."
