D.. in 1892, and they were married
there in March, 1893, contrary to the
wishes of her mother, who was
school teacher and came to Alexandra
last wear. The marriage was not
happy one. They had two children,
one of whom. the baby, died q rev
weeks ago. During her last contine-
ment his abuse and neglect became too
much for her, and she left him. He
then commenced habeas corpus pro-
ceedings to secure the oldest child.
The testimony in this case was such
as to cause Judge Searle to remark
that half the evidence was sufficient to
cause him to leave the child with Its
mother, and this was really the f0un-
dation for a subsequent suit for d.
vorce, which was granted to her Dy
Judge Searle only two days ago.

gained consciousness when removed to
