ferring to the SALE of property. 1t is
alleged that for three weeks prior to

speaking to him, and on the following
morning, in state of mental agitation,

dollars and unless it was Immediately
replaced she would be sent to Jail. On
her request to Perry to advance her
the money, with a suggestion that it

runs-a deal was made. Mrs. Perreira
agreed to buy the real estate and give

separate from her husband, executed
the deed and accepted the 5000. After

piano, furniture, etc, and has not since
been there.
Perry denies for himself that he ever
threatened complainant with arrest and
that she was overcome with fear or
dread of exposure of herself and dis
grace to her father, and alleges that
she was, at and before said 9Th day
of June. a bold, brazen temperous,
strong willed woman, impervious to
entreaties of friends, unmindful of
public comment, fearless of just CEN

self-indulgence, and no thought of
family or friend, save for personal
gain"

circumstances of Perry's getting
divorce from complainant and Perry's
answers to the thirty heterogeneous
