Mr.. and Mrs. William Kelly were
residents of California. While there
they adopted an orphan girl, and came
to this city in 1870, residing at No. S
Franklin place. The girl grew up to
be fine young woman and was much
admired. Among the visitors to the
house was Pilip McLauglin. He
made proposal of marriage to Miss
Kelly and was accepted. The mar
riage took place on April %, at the
church of the Assumption, Jay and
York streets 1t was performed by
the Rev. Father Keegan. There was
reception after the marriage, and
many residents in the nelghborhood
received an invitation. At this time
the young lady was only twenty
years of age, while McLauglin was a
little over sixty-tour. Shortly after
the marriage, it is alleged, McLaugh-
lin began to use his wife in q cruel
manner. She went to live in friends
house. Mclaughlin was informed
that his wife had gone to Philadelphia
with one Joe Lewis. He began pro-
ceedings for absolute divorce, and
this morning the case come on before
Judge McCue on motion for alimony
and counsel fee.
Mclaughlin says in the papers
that he brought the action against his
wife on the usual ground. He has
read the affidayits of his wife. and
denies that she is entirely destitute or
without means of support or unable to
pay a lawyer. His wife is strong,
healthy woman and, as he believes, a:
least twenty years of age. Before her
marriage to him she was employed
in a bagging factory in Atlantic
avenue, and supported herself, and is
fully competent and able to do so at
the present time. Nav ii last, he
alleges. his wife took from him watch
and chain worth s35, and his pocket-
book containing $50. abstracting the
same from beneath his pillow while he
was asleep. He says it is true that he
is ever sixty years of age and owns
real estate. but it not true that he has
moneyin the bank or that he has
contrl buted nothing towards his wife's
support except seven dollar shawl.
He denies that since his marriage to

who makes an affidavit in behalf of
the defendant, that he would not sell
his property for less than 1926 900.
He denies that he drove the defendant
oft Of the house by his cruelty and
bad treatment. or that he starved
her or restricted her to two meals q
day. But on the contrary, he
treated the defendant with
kindness and consideration, and
supplied her with more than
sufficient money to satisfy her needs,
and that on two separate occasions
when he offered money to defendant
to purchase what she required, she
thew the bills back to him and told
him to 60 and get what he wanted
himself. He is sixty-four years of
age, is broken in health and decrepid,
is blind in one eye and unable to
work any longer. He has no means
of support other than that derived from
the property. the net income of which
does not reach ten dollars week. IF he
were living with bis wife, he says,
this amount would be sufficient to sup
port them, but while living apart it
is barely sufficient to maintain him and
furnish Elm with the necessaries of
lite. He believes that his wife was of
the opinion that he was the possessor
of fortune, and for this reason mar
ried him, and subsequently finding
herself mistaken in this respect, she
abandoned him and sought other So
