farmer, who charges that Matte En-
DRY, to whom he was married Sept. Is,
1906, already has husband, who is
still living and from whom she has
never been divorced.
Emory claims that on Jan. 2. he
learned for the first time that his

Samuel Stewart, an inmate of the
Marion Soldiers home.
As soon as he learned the facts Mr.
Emory states in his complaint that
he separated from the plaintiff and
has not lived with her since the dis

According to the complaint Mrs.
