that would convince IL that Mr.. Dupre
was a monomaniac. The charges in the

wife for many years the husband sccused
the wife of infdelity IN also of trying
to Jison Tim. At this time Mr.. Lupre
lived in Lancaster, Mass, and Mrs. Du
pre- wa, at her husbands rsques', errest-
ed for adultery. The court, after nearing

m ntsl alteration. In accordance wi h
the advice OF physician, Mrs. DupTe
lived apart from her husband for some
time and he contributed TO her support.
After while Mr.. Dupre ceased paying
any money to his wife so suit for sep
arate maintenance was tegun in Suffolk

lated abont 5000 which was all In her
husbands name. The property consisted
of bonds of the Canadian Pacific railroad,
New Jersey Midland mining stocks and
$500 in the bank. In answer to a quest ion
by Judge Rogers she slated that neither
her husband nor her elf possessed any
pro operty when they were married.
Mr. Achorn 50 ID that In order TO defend
against the charges in he petition itwould
be Necessary for Mrs. Dupre to have the
testimony OF n large number OF per.ons.
Some OF ,hess he stated would testify to
the strange actions OF her husband, one
an exucrt who would swear as to the
queer condition OF Mr.. Dupre's mind
regard to the charges OF adultery that
when the three offences his client IL
chirged with nrc alleged to nave been
committed she was other places than
whore he petition charged.
