THE MOORE DIVORCE CASE.
The Husband Files an Answer to His
Wife's Charges.


The answer OF Peter H. Moore TO the
charges made against him by his wife. Mary
E. Moore, as grounds for divorce, has been
filed. In the petition for divorce Mrs.
Moore made many serious and sensational
allegations against her husband, charging
him with cruelty and being untrue to her.
In his answer, filed through his attorney,
Campbell Darlington, the respondent ad-
mits the statements relative TO his mar
riage. but denies every allegation as to
i'll treatment or misconduct. On the con-
trary, he declares that he always treated
his wife with kindness and consideration.
TO such an extent that she is utterly spoiled
and united for the performance of the
duties in her station of life. Continuing,
Mr.. Moore says that it has been the habit
of his wife to leave him in the summer
and winter and remain away from him for
great length of time; that she was always
abundantly supplied with money, spending
more in month, frequently, than he did
in an entire year Mr.. Moore also states
that he has absolute proof that the COM
plainant has not been true wife, which
will be the basis of his cross bill, TO be filed
later on in the Supreme Court of the Dis
trict.
Moore says that the plaintiff and two
other persons conspred together to obtain
large sums of money from him, by making
a certain charge against him which was
UNANIMOUSLY false, and that he was told by
the principal member of the organization
that unless large sum of money was paid
or he would give up his entire business to
his wife. that he would be arrested, pub
licly disgraced, and sent to the penitentiary
in less than ten days. Moore further main
tains that he will, when the testimony is
taken in this cause, fully show the con-
spiracy that was intended TO deprive him of
his good name and enable the complainant
to obtain a divorce for the purpose of mar
rying another man.
