the defendant husband for a Judgment OF sepa-
ration of property, as we'll as a dissolution of
the community of acquets and gains, and in
which she prays for the full and undisturbed
free from any interference from her husband,
the defendant herein.
She alleges that her said husband, the de-
PENDANT, has abandoned her and her children,
issue OF their marriage, and has left the State;
that his act Of abandonment was
without any fault of plaintiff but altogether
through the fault Of the defendant. She asked
for the appointment OF a curator ad hoe to
represent the absent defendant, which was
done. She also prayed to be duly authorized to
institute this suit and to carry on the same to
final judgment, which was so ordered. She
also alleges that her husband left his business
in a disordered condition and that unless the
proper steps were taken by her that she ap-
prehends that her rights will be in danger.
She further represents that her mother,
Adrienne Doncet, recently died leaving her as
her only heir and leaving for her as an inherit
ance several thousand dollars, which she
alleges her surviving father, Etienne Couleau,
is perfectly willing to turn over to her provided
she can give him the proper acqulttance and
discharge and that her husband not being
attainable, she requires the authority of the
Judge.
She also alleges that she wishes to receive
said money free from entering into the COM
munity of acquets and gains existing between

ana she wishes the authority of the Judge to
do so.

offered fully establishes plaintiffs demand.
Her husband, forgetful OF perhaps the holiest
ties that connect one person to another, has,
fOrgetful OF his marital vows, abandoned those
whom 1T was his manifest duty to shield and
protect. All the In of the petition
have been approved, the abandonment of the
husband, the disordered condition OF his affairs,
and the unquestionable right of the wife to
have her demands granted.
For these reasons, and because the law and
the evidence is in favor of the plaintiff and
against the defendant, it is, for these reasons
ordered. adjudged ana decreed that the plain.
Ilf do have and recover judgment against the
DEFENDANT, separating them in property and
that the community OF acquets and gains ex-
lstlng between the parties to the suit, or the
plaintiff and defendant, be dissolved, and that
the PLAINTIFF have the free administration OF
her paraphernal property, free from the inter
ference OF her husband.
And it is further ordered, adiudred and de.
creed that she be authorized to receive from
her father, Elienne Couleau, all monies coming
to her from her deceased mother, Adrienne
Doucet, and to give him full acquittance and
discharge therefor, and further it is ordered,
adjudged and decreed that she be authorized
to invest said sums of money so received from
the said father, in the investment OF q home
to be her paraphernal investment and her
separate property, and it is further ordered.
adjudged and decreed that defendant pay ali
costs of suit.
