that he abandoned her in order to save
himself from becoming insane; that she
treated him cruelty and unlawfully; that
his work was such that he was obliged 10

made against her by her husband,
and says that he willfully and without any
cause Whatever abandoned her, leaving
her at the mercy Of strangers. in poor

to support, besides supporting herself:
that she would have lived with him in
