real and personal. iS favor OF the de
fendant by dismissing the complaint.
and granting the defendant an abso.
lutte divorce from the plaintiff. and nj.
so the care and custody Of both the
children.
This case the trial OF which lasted
three days. has attracted more than

positive. and the plaintiff caused the

for divorce.
Judge Boise. in deciding the case.
reviewed the evidence az some length
In which he held that there was not
