cling from school to Frankfort, KY, by
w. c. 2. Breckinridge, who made her
acquaintance on the plea of his know
ing her family, and that she was fiat
tered by his attentions, knowing who
he was and regarding him as very

the relations which existed between
the plaintiff and Mr.. Breckenridge, as
she charges, until recently. The birth
of two children (who died) and the
premature birth of third child are al
legged as a result of this intimacy. She
further alleges that after the death of

ficient time after the death of his wife.
1t is alleged that he solemnly promised
that there should be secret mar
riage on May 81, 1898, and that
the marriage should take place in
the city of New York; but after
that, on the plea of her condition, the
time appointed for the marriage was

then resident of the city of st. Louis.
