IN CHANCERY
Tuesday, Agnes NJ. Wallis, through her
attorneys, Messrs. Chapman and McDougall,
fled her answer in the circuit court 10 the
divorce suit instituted by her husband,
Frank NJ. Wallis, of Enrlyille The bill sets
forth general denial Of the main allegations
some few weeks ago published in the FREE
TRADER, and states that she did not ruin the
young man that he drugged and outraged
her, and that she had been also drugged by
a physician and that while under the infu.
eucc Of the drug an abortion had been per-
formed upon her. This seems to outline the
defense. The case will be IN interesting
one, the charges made by plaintiff of seduc.
ton md ruin previous to the marriage and
ire by the husband making it n very re-
markublc case
