their said marriage, and that the said Libelant
resided in this State when the cause OF divorce
accrued as hereinafter set forth, and had
sided here in good faith one year prior to the
date OF this libel; that the said Libelsnt has
ever been faithful to his marriage obligations,
but that the said Libelee has been unmindful
of the same; that she deserted him several
times during the period between the date OF
their marriage and the date OF their final sep
sraton, but that he allowed her to go back
and live with him, on her promise to do better
and conduct herself properly, but finally her
conduct became so outrageous he could en-
dure it no longer, and on the thirtieth day OF
November. A. d. 1901, he told her that he would
live with her no longer, and he then left her
and has not lived with her since; that on divers
days and times since their intermarriage. both
before and since their final separation the said
Libelee has committed the crime OF adultery
with divers lewd men, whose names are to
your Libelsnt unknown; that she has been
guilty of cruel and abusive treatment and
extreme cruelty toward him that there is no
collision between them to obtain q divorce,
and he believes 1t reasonable and proper that
a divorce from the bonds Of matrimouy be
granted to him.
Wherefore he prays that divorce from the
bonds of matrmony between himself and said
Libelee may be decreed.
And the libelant further alleges that he has
used reasonable diligence TO ascertain the
present residence OF said libelee, but is unable
to do SO, and does not know where II Is.
