Kennedy, sued her husband, Will
liam FL. Kennedy for limited divorce.
Kennedy, 10 a well-known politician
andundertaksr. The ground on which
the divorce was asked was q peculiar

threats raised reasonable apprehen-
sion of violence, and not wait until
they were executed. The plaintiff
had testified on trial that her hus-
band had used abusive language to
her and had threatened to murder
