ton. Grace Frarzese states that when she
married the defendant, Andrea Franzese,
June Is, 1886, she was only fourteen years
of age. Shortly after the marriage, Mrs.
Franzese adds. her husband took her
among the lowest and most degraded class
of people and in evil and degraded sur
roundings. He also assaulted her, she
charges, without cause on the day of their
marriage, and from that time up to the
present has treated her with systematic
and persistent cruelty, becoming a chronic
wife-beater, having assaulted her by strik-
ing and kicking her and breaking chairs
over her head on at least forty or fifty
occasions. -
Her husband seldom used kindly or
proper language toward her, the petitioner
goes on to say, but habitually accosted her
in rough manner and used the most VILE
profane and indecent language toward her.
frequently threatening to take her life,
and ON five or six occasions drawing
loaded revolver and threatening to kill her.
Mrs. F'ranzese recites in detail many al
legged instances of extreme cruelty on the
part OF her husband. In addition to a di-
vorce she asks the court to grant her the
custody Of her five living children and to
restrain the defendant from harassing
her in any way.
