On Aug. g. 1906, in letter written
by plaintiff to defendants brother.
plaintiff expresses herself as follows
II have not been feeling as well
lately but must expect that of course.
Jack is so sweet and considerable,
however, that 1t helps a great deal
over this most trying time ,-..A .-.-
Many letters from defendant to
plaintiff are in the record, all of which
contain very affectionate expressions
and none of which disclose the Slight
est intimation of any domestic ltnhaT-
piness. 1t is not only difficult, but inn
possible to reconcile these written evil Il
lences of affection with the testimony
IF plaintiff. The attempted, explana.-
ion by her of her letters is very un-
satisfactory, and furthermore, defen-
1ant's letters to her are equally as
convincing as hers in refuting the fact
hat any such unhappy relations ex
sted as were detailed by PLAINTIFF

The proof offered by plaintiff in cor
