 That after the death of the said Commodore James D. Smith, the plain | tiff continued to call upon the defend ant herein and the defendant continued | her prOtestations of love and affection for the plaintiff and was devotedly at 1 tached to him, and on or about the 17th day of May, 1910, and many times prior thereto. the plaintiff requested | the said defendant to marry him as pIOIIhS,ou d.Ilu dST00O Dy the Sd1Q O0- fendant, but she, without any cause, excuse or explanation, refused to do so and. further. told this plaintiff to cease | paying any attention to her. that she did not intend to marry him and would l not marry him under any circum- stances.
