Ashford is attorney for IibeIlant, and
j. J. Dunno for libellee.
In an affidavit Mrs. Lazarus says
that, Notwithstanding the former order
of court, the ibellee refused to vacate
the house where they had lived as
husband and wife. They occupied
separate chambers and ate their meals
separately. though he provided the food
and she did the cooking. This condi-
ton of life was extremely irksome and
disagreeable to her, but she submitted
to it rather than be obliged to leave
her home during the tendency of the
divorce suit. She relates a series of
annoyances from her husband. such
as breaking into her room, following
her and her friend, Mrs. Helen Row
land, to Kawaiahao church and to her
friends home. Here is one count of
her complaint:
THAT almost Immediately after the
beginning of said action, said Hbellee
began and hath ever since continued
to urge and importune deponent to re-
sumo marital relations with him, and
repeatedly and constantly declared to
deponent that she was certain to lose,
and he was certain to win in this ac-
ton: that he had employed the smart
est lawyer in Honolulu, and that his
lawyer assured him that deponent had
no case, nor any prospect of success;
that it would be impossible for depo-
nent to obtain and collect any more
judgment, by way of alimony or other
wise, against libellee, for the reason
that libellee had made a conveyance Of
all of his property to his niece. the
daughter of his sister, Miss Rosewarne,
and that both libellant and her lawyer
would be hoka,' to wit, disappointed,
and put to shame In and about this
action
1t is mentioned that some correspon-
dence passed between the respective
lawyers, Ashford and Dunno, on the
subject of libellees conduct as declar-
ed.
Mrs. Helen Rowland, in an affidavit,
tells about the logging of libellant and
herself to church, the latest occasion
having been Sunday night last, al
though his presence and company were
protested against by both libellant and
this depOnent." She says that during
the progress to and from said meetings
hbellee insisted upon talking in a loud
voice and offensive manner, concern
ing the matters involved in this ac-
tion," and repeatedly declared then. as
al other times, that he had been in
structed by his American lawyer to ,
follow libellant wherever she might go, |
to not permit Hbellant to go anywhere |
out of his sight, and especially to in |
s1st upon accompanying her to church |
services and other church meetings" |
On the evening of January II, Laza- |
rus thrust his company" upon depo- !
nent and lbellant in their attendance |
on prayer meeting at Kawaiahao ,
church, when "deponent and said Ii |
bellant were so DESTROYS of avoiding /
the company of said libellee on said /
occasion that they temporarily avoid |
ed his sight and vigilance whereupon
hbellee ''indulged in a game of hide ,
and seek in and about said church !
premises with deponent and said libel
liant, the latter endeavoring to avoid /.
l1bellee, and libellee endeavoring again
to thrust himself upon libellant and /
this deponent"
