The Petition OF Addie E Carney of New
Haven in said county of Addison, respectfully
represents that at Rutland in the county OF
Rutland and state Of Vermont. on the 18th day
of December, A. d 1891, she was united in
lawful marriage with the respondent Henry
c. Gainey then of alisbury in said county OF

minister of the gospe, then residing ling AM, and
maiden name OF Addie +. Willard that she
lived and cohabited with her said husband at
said Salisbury from the marriage till the 10Th
day Of the following June, 1882, when: being
with child and unable longer to do hard work.
she went home to her mother at Willsboro in
the county OF Essex, and state of New YORK. +,
where she made it her home until July, 1902,
when she removed to the home of her sister
IN said New Haven, where she has ever since
resided and still resides; that the respondent
has never at any time contributed anything
whatever toward the support OF the petition
er, but on the contrary, when they were so
living together, he took a portion OF her earn
ings for his own use, although at that time
and ever since so far as the petitioner knows,
he was an expert telegraph operator, con
stantly employed and earning good wages !;
that one child, Claude V. Carney, now living,
was born OF said marriage at SAID WillsborO
on the 23d day OF November, 1892; that when
about to be cofined at that time, the petitioner
wrote to the respondent urging him to send
her some money for her necessities, but that
he did not and never has contributed a single
said ILL ess, ar the support OF her child, but
that she has supported herself and said child
by her own industry; and so she says that
the respondent having sufficient ability to
provide suitable maintenance for her, has
ever without cause, grossly, wantonly and
cruelty refu-rd and neglected so to do; and
also that said separation was with the re.
spondents consent, and with the hope and
expectation on the petitioners part that,
after their child should be born. the respon-
dent might be willing to provide for his
family and they might again live together,
but this he has never offered to do, she has
never seen him since their separation on
June l5 1892 and for more than five years
last past she has had no knowledge whatever
OF his Whereabouts, and does not know now
where he is wherefore she AYERS that the
respondent has wifully deserted her for more
than three consecutive years. She further
AYERS that, during the time when they so lived
together, the respondent treated the petition
er with tnto.era lie severity
wherefore the said Addie +. Carney prays
the Honorable Court to grant her decree OF
divorce from the bonds Of matrimony so eX-
listing between her and the said Henry e,
Gainey, and that the custody OF said child,
Claude V. q iiney, NAV be decreed to her.
