MILLER CIRCUIT COURT, J
November Term, 1898. I
G. H. Moore, !
VS.. complaint in eq-
Tonic Moore. uity,
The plaintiff, c. II. Moore, for hil
cause of action, states:
That in the month of January, A
D. 1891, he was lawfully married to
the defendant, Tonne Moore, nee Ba
kerr in the city of Paris, Texas, since
which time he has lived with defend
ant up to August, 1898, in the city o.
Texarkana, Miller County, Arkansas
and of which last named place he is
now a resident and citizen.
He further states, that the defend.
ants treatment of him recently, and
in fact, ever since his marriage, has
been so cruel and barbarous as to en-.
danger his life, and that she, defend.
ant, has offered such indignities to his
person and standing in the communi.
ty in which he lives as did and are
calculated to render his condition in
tolerable, and that subsequent to their
marriage, as aforesaid, the plaintiff
believes, and he here alleges, that de-
fendant has and and did commit
adultery.
The complaint then goes on to re-
cite that the defendant has wilfully
Quilted her husbands bed and board
taking with her their only child, a
boy of twenty months old, and has
returned to her former home in Paris,
Texas, closing with prayer for the
custody of said child, and for absolute
divorce.

The above complaint, is se'f-explan-
atory and requires no further elucida-
ton, so far as legal action is concern
ed, at our hands. We had been advis'
ed of the matter for several days, but
refrained from publishing the unsavo-
nv particulars until ii had taken def
mite legal shape. There are yet re-
naming some very sensational details
of which no intimation is made in the
above complaint, but which must, of
necessity, be fully developed on final
trial of the case.
As heretofore intimated, there are
two or three prominent names mixed
up in the affair, but as yet names can
not be given on good authority.
We have interviewed the injured hus-
band, in an effort to secure said names
but he positively refused to divulge
them, having been counseled to secre-
cy by his legal advisers. There prom
ised to be rather sanguinary climax
to this domestic drama, but that phase
of the affair has now been eliminated.
Bv reason Of the fact, as Mr.. Moore
himself has informed us, that such at
tempt to secure personal satisfaction
for his wrongs could not be confined
to one man, but must have been ex-
tended to several, who are equally
culpable.
When the discovery of his wife'S
faithlessness and his own dishonoI
were first discovered to him, Mr.. M
saws his firm intention was to arm him
self and seek sedress in the usual man
ner, by hunting down the destroyer
of his home, but further developments
convinced him of the futility Of such
course and he therefore concluded tc
let the law take:its course. He Motif
ed his erring wife Of his knowledge O.
her misdeeds. The wife took "Frencf
leave" of him, while he was out on th'
road--packed her effects, and, taking
their child, made her way to the pa
rental roof at Paris. Tex.
The couple have resided for some
time past at No, 7lS, Hazel street
where they had nice home, prettilI
furnished
Thus the sanctity of another home
| is desecrated and the domestic til
broken bya woman's frailty and mani
perGdy. Nor viii the retribution
which ever overtakes those guilty o
such crimes, be slow to follow in tbi
cose On the final trial of the case,
full expose will be made of thos'
names which are now not obtainable
and every inclddnt now withheld vii
be M for public view and righteou
condemnation.
