Norce unless her husband received So
coo. and that as result nf threats
made by her he paid thai sum OF
money and she obtained the divorce
This amount, he alleges. never was
paid to the husband and during the
year 1895 he was coeVced into paying
the husband, who in the meantime had
been divorced, the sum of $4,000 not
to press a threatened suit.
Mr.. Plat demands an accounting Of
