HARRY JUEN
RESPONDENT

Harry A. Juen. the saloon keeper, is
respondent in libel for divorce, his
wife charging him therein with extreme
cruelty and misrepresentation OF her
property.
Esther P. Juen. complainant, states
that she was lawfully married to the
libellee in Honolulu on September IA,
1897, by the Rev. X. Kekipi. She claims
that she has at all times been faithful
to her marriage vows and has conducted
herself in every way as a faithful wife
should, but she charges her husband
with conduct very much to the contrary,
specifying in part as follows:
That libellee has in many ways vio-
lated his marital VOWS and more particu-
larly libelant charges that he has been
guilty of gross and extreme cruelty to-
ward libellant in that he has repeatedly
assaulted and beaten her and threatened
her with physical violence, and has often
struck her on the head and kicked her,
and has on many occasions used foul
and disgusting language to her and has
called her foul and disgusting names,
and that libelee by his aforesaid acts
and otherwise has inundated libellant
SO that she feared and had reason to
fear libellee and physical violence from
him to such an extent as to make it I'M
possible for her to maintain marital rela-
tons with him, and further libellant al
leges that libellee has been guilty of ex
IRENE cruelty toward libellant in that
he has often charged her with immoral
ity and has in other ways grossly insult
ed her and outraged her feelings" etc.
Mrs. Juen declares that her husband,
on August II. did with force and arms
break into libelants private bureau at
her home and take therefrom all her
jewelry, which was of considerable
value. and that said libellee thereupon
left her said home with said jewelry and
has not returned since" She goes on to
sa'- that she is the owner of the fixtures
and lease. of the Fountain saloon, and
that she supplied the license fee OF $1,000
to the Government for that saloon, but
that her husband has appropriated all of
the proceeds OF the saloon without ac-
counting to her and with the proceeds
has bought one lot and five cottages on
Beretania street near King street, one lot
with cottage at Waikiki on kapahulu
Kapahulu subdivision in Waikiki and
two lots in San Francisco. California.
Also, she says she has lent Harry the
further sum OF $1,000, which he has never
returned to her.
Complainant says she owns house
and lot on Beretania street, where she
and respondent have made their home,
and that she has two children by a pre-
vious husband. one Thomas Rosewarne,
depending on her for their support and
maintenance, but that libellee, despite
the fact that all he possesses has come
to him through her, has not given to
libellant sufficient money to support and
properly maintain herself and her chill
dren, although well able to do so. She
further complains that libellee has used
the money received from said Fountain
saloon, which rightfully belongs to libel
liant, in furthering his own ends in the
purchasing OF the land aforesaid and
otherwise and that, since leaving libel
liant, libellee has given her nothing what
soever." Also, that libellee has forced
her to pay the wages of all his servants
and to support herself and her children
as best she can, although we'll knowing
that she has no property interests other
than those mentioned herein
Mrs. Juen pravs for absolute divorce
against the libellee. also for an award
of alimony, either in lump sum or by
way OF support. She further asks that
her husband return to her the money
he borrowed from her as well as her
jewelry and that her interests in the
properly mentioned may be settled and

evidence the court shall deem Just and
appropriate Finally She prayS for costs
and such further relief as 10 the court
