. Masterman filed suit in MONTGOMERY

F. Masterman filed suit in Montgomery
county against his wife, Mamie b: Master
The cruelty consisted in Mrs: Mastermans
calling him harsh names. He got the de
cree. She appealed the case. The court.
in reversing the decision of the lower court
to-day, said that in order to support
charge of cruelty in an action for divorce
where words alone are relied upon as con-
stituting the cruelty inflicted 1t must ap-
pear that the words We're uttered without
justification and for the purpose of in
iiicting pain. When uttered merely as a
complaint against an apparent misconduct
of the other it Is insufficient to constitute
cruelty. Words" the court says. may be
as cruel as blows. yet every use of words
so matrimonial bonds would have little
strength in the eyes of the law.
