there was considerable excitement
over the affair. Robinson went into
the probate court and made affidavit

Susan B. Wise, and who lived with
her parents at Middlebranch, was 18
years old. Her parents who were

to her that he had two thousand dol.
lars, a horse and carriage and a com-
Portable home, none of which ma
teriallzed after the ceremony. Gross
neglect of duty and cruelty are also
