THE AFFIDAVIT.
In the superior court of the State Of
Delaware, in and for New Castle county.
Rosslie b. Addicks VS.. John Edward Adj
dicks. Libel for divorce. State of Della
ware, county Of New Castle, S..
John Edward Addicks being duly sworn,
deposes and says that although he abso.
lutely and wholly denies that i'll violation
of his marriage vow, he hath for any time
| past, given himself up to adulterous prac-
| tices. or been guilty of adultery with the
said Ida Carr Wilson.
and, further wholly and absolutely
denies that such adulterous practices have
extended and continued from the year
| 1887 until the present time or that said
| aduterous practices have been engaged in
| in Brandywine hundred. New Castle
county and State of Delaware; or ut 241
| South Seventeenth street III the city of
| Philadelphia, State of Pennsylvania; or at
the Mt. Kineo House in the State of Maine;
or at the Tudor House in the city OF
| Boston, State of Massachusetts, or AT any
| other place or places whereSoever, or time
| or times whatsoever.
| And further absolutely and wholly de.
MES that acts of adultery took place in the
| years 1887, 1855 or 1891, or at any other
time at the residence of the said Ida Carr
| Wilson, near Claymont, in the said county
| of New Castle, or in the years 1880 and 1891,
i or at any other time at the house of the
said Ida Carr Wilson, No. 247 South Seven
tenth street, in the said city of Philadel-
| phia or in the years 1880 and 1891, or at
any other time at the Mt Kineo House, in
the State of Maine or in the year 1871. or
at any other time, at the Tudor House, in
the said city OF Boston, and State of Massa-
| chusetts.
And further generally, absolutely and
wholly denies that he hath been guilty of
adultery at any time or place with the said
Ida Carr Wilson, "...
Yet, he is advised and believes, and
upon such advice and belief doth aver
| that the allegations of adultery contained
in the said petition for divorce filed in the
present cause, are not sufficiently specific
us to the time and place TO enable him to
make defence thereto, as the same cover a
/
Ter to places widely divergent throughout
the United States.
And further, because the times and
places of said alleged adultery are so in
definitely alleged and so overlap each
other, that in preparing defence thereto,
he would have To show during the whole
period of time III all the different places
mentioned just where and with whom he
was, which would he placing an intoler-
able burden upon him.
Wherefore, although he Is willing and
anxious to promptly meet the charges
made in said petition for divorce, or any
other charges in that relation, he is COM
PEELED to pray, and doth hereby pray the
court that a rule may issue to the said
petitioner TO show cause why she should
not file bill of particulars more speCi-
iically setting forth the acts and facts and
times and places upon which she relies.
