his wife until yesterday lives in Connecti-
cut With her parents. The case was con.
tested. but was tried on dispositions from
Connecticut, where the Miliers lived until
The husband came West two or three years
ago. 1t seems from the conflicting evi.
dence that Miller went to live with his
bride ct his mothers house and that they
lived there six or eight months. when
Mrs. Miller went back to her fathers and
they never lived together again. This was
- far ~ the witnesses agreed. Some Of
them said that Miller and his mother
forced the young wife 70 leave and would
not allow her to return. although she
begged him TO take her back again. These
were the witnesses for Mrs. Miller. They
said that whenever Miller saw his wife
coming TO his mothers house on q visit TO
him he would pick up his hat and run
away across lots to his duck farm and hide
until she had gone home again. Miller Q
witnesses denied this and the accusations
OF adultery Mrs Miller made. They say
that Miller was running the Riverside
duck farm near stratiord. Conn.,, and was
doing q good business, when his wife de-
10 her fathers, Judge Humes granted
