Ever since I came home from my business trip
on December II. 1907, my wife has absolutely
failed TO show any affection or love; IN fact
she stated to me on one occasion since the said
December II. 1907. that she was intensely in love
with Mr. Hay and would, IL necessary. work her
fingers ends of in order to be with him. and
that she had no further love affection for me-
The said defendant has wilfully contrived and VIII
fully intends 10 injure and deprive me of the
comfort society. aid and assistance OF my said
wife and has aiienated and still aenates. and has
destroyed and still destroys. her affection for me
and has wrongfuly and wckedly and without my
privity and connivance carnaly knows and has
known her. ard by reason thereof have wholly
lost the comfort society and aid and assistance of
my said wife. and by reason of the defendants
action the health # wife at the present time
is absolutely undermined and destroyed and my
wife at present time. the result Of the
conduct of the defendant is in such nervous state
that she is the verge of nervous prostratioEl-
Before December II. 1907 my wifes health was In
good condition.
