he struck her again and beat her and
called her vile and indecent names,
and at different times, between July
. and Aug. =. he has been guilty of
extreme cruelty towar her by striking
her and wounding her without cause
or reason. ON Aug. Z he struck her
again and knocked her down. cutting
her face and hands and causing them
TO bleed. At the same time he forctbly
tore her jewelry from her person and
drove her from the house, compelling
her to seek the protection Of strangers,
all of which acts Of cruelty were with
out cause or reason on her part.
She SAYS the cruel acts persisted in
by the defendant have wrecked the
plaintiffs health and rendered her i'll
and invalid. She further alleges that
frequently since their marriage her
husband has threatened her life, and
particularly on last Sunday evening,
and she is afraid he will carry his
threats into execution.
Mrs. Perelson says the defendant IS
a strong and healthy man and is
skilled in business and earns large
sums of money. For "A long time he
has been an equal owner of the BlumD-
kin Hide a. Junk company. a concern
engaged in buying hides. pelts and
Junk. and the business Is worth about
S12. 000. Of which the defendant owns
Cne-half. He also owns about $4,000 in
cash and earns about $500 a month.
She says that a great portion of what
he owns has been accumulated since
the date of their marriage.
BY reason of the cruel and inhuman
conduct of the defendant, the plaintiffs
health has been impaired TO such an
extent that she is unable to support
herself and she is in INDECENT circum-
stances, without means whatever, and
dependent upon the charity of strang-
ers for her support. She asks the court
TO set apart for her use a portion II
the property and TO compel the defend
ant to pay her "A reasonable alimony
and counsel fees, and that she be re-
stored her maiden name, Rose Bump

torney for Mrs. Perelson.
Some people who are acquainted with
the troubles of the Perelson family
say the woman's account is not the
only side to the story, and there are
those who are familiar with all the
details who ave much sympathy for
Perelson.
