the real estate described In the bill OF
complaint and In the deed sought TO be
Cancelled.
Plaintiff filed a $500 bond. with Will
liam McCandoss as surety. conditioned
for payment OF all damages that may
be incurred by defendants In case Il
shall be held that the writ OF injunc-
ton should not have been issued. The
surety is plaintiffs father and owns
the land on which the Mogoon building
Is situated.
The gist of the complaint-taking as
Il does nine typewriter pages, be-
sides interrogatories and exhibits-is
that complainants then husband, An
tone l.. Perry. on the 9th day OF June,
1904 threatened her with criminM
prosecution for adultery unless she
decided her property. worth about 49,
600, TO him, 20 which threat. which in
spired her with terror, she yielded.
Two days after Perry had thus Sc
ooured his wife's entire estate he insti-
tuted proceedings against her for d.

intemperance. which divorce he OBJ
tanned. she permitting the case to go
by default.
The defendant Perry is a carriage
trimmer for Gus Schuman.
The property IN question consists OF

In specifying Perry's threats plaintin

sisting his demand.
When she married him she had not
attained her majority and when the
threats were made she was only about
Il years OF age, he being her senior by
many years. She was uniformed, pos
sessed OF little education. was not OF
robust mentality and was Of a timi'l
retiring. hesitating disposition.
Her husband was then and there a
, sharp shrewd, well-informed man Of an
extremely aggressive, determined ana

runs and proceeds TO mention that com
plainant's father rs a person OF emil
nent responsibility and has always en-
joyed the esteem and confidence OF his
neIghbors and friends" and that he
was well advanced In years and OF
feeble health" from which It is averred
: that Perry played on her regard for
her father in terrifying her with threats
OF the disgrace her imprisonment would
. be to her father as well as 10 herself.
