and / NJ. Long for libellant, William
A HenshaIl for libellee.
Counter affidavit in the Flint case.
as filed by William A. Henshall, attor-
ney for Iibellee. is as follows:
That he is the libellee in the above
entitled cause and that he has been
served with a copy OF summons and
libel for divorce on file herein.
That before the time prescribed by
law in which TO answer said libel he in
tends to and viii file a sworn answer
denying specifically each and every al
legation in said libel contained which
charges this affiant with cruelty and
failure to provide or which in any man
ner charges this affiant with improper
conduct towards libellant
And this affiant denies that on the
Sd day of July, 1900, he departed from
the home of libellant and libelle in
said Honolulu and left libellant there
sick and destitute without providing
fo~ her suitable maintenance and has
neglected and refused so to do and still
neglects and refuses TO provide for her
suitable or any maintenance or sup
port, though often requested so 10 do,
but on the contrary this affiant AYERS
that by reason of the great misconduct
of the libellant for the three months
last past, rendering the conjugal state
unbearable to affiant, such as her
drinking TO excess, staying out at night
until very late, associating with per-
sons of unsavory reputation and total
~ and entirely neglecting the duties OF
a good and faithful wife, this affiant
was compelled TO leave their said home,
but that he left the same with the rent
paid in advance and furnished at the
time informed libellant by letter and
orally that he had deposited with his
attorney, William A. Henshall, the
sum of S25 for her maintenance and
support, which would be paid to libel
liant whenever she called for the same;
that libellant has never called for said
s25 either in person or by attorney.
THAT hbellant is able TO maintain
and support herself during the pen
dency of this suit, just as she has done
since July last. and that libellant
does not need $50 per month for her
temporary maintenance and support.
And this affiant further denies that
he holds a lucrative position in Homo
lulu. that of harbor police, for which
together with other services, he re-
ceiyes a large monthly compensation
or over $3.50. but on the contrary, affl-
ant AYERS that he is employed as cap
tain of the harbor police and receives a
salary of $50 a month and no more.
and that his total earnings monthly
do not exceed $50. and that affiant has
no money in bank or property of any
kind and no income whatsoever other
than said 50 per month
4. NJ. Brown, High Sheriff of the
Territory, in an affidavit, says that he
knows libellee; that he is employed by
affliant as captain of harbor police of
Honolulu at monthly salary of $50.
