Charlton and state of Missouri, she
was lawfully married to the defendant,
land continued to live with the defend
ant as his wife until the a4th day OF
May, 1893, last past; that during all
that time plaintiff faithfully demeaned
herself and discharged all her duties
as the wife of defendant, and at all
! times treated him with kindness and
affection: but that defendant, wholly
kdisregarded his duties as the husband
of plaintiff, offered such lndlgnl-
ties to plaintiff as to render her condi-

four years, last past, defendant has not
provided plaintiff and her daughter by
former marriage, Fanny Gilllland,
aged thirteen years, with sufficient
food and clothing and that plaintiff
has been compelled to take in sewing

plaintiff by calling her the vilest names
without the least cause or provocatlon;
calling her a d. b. and w, and
saving that Fanny, her said daughter,
would grow d. w like her
mother; that plaintiff bore with his
abuse, hoping he would see the error
of his ways and the great wrong ne

breaking it into atoms and raising
larqe welk on her,head, and then no
content and his brutal nature no
