with another woman by piecing tC-
gether letters from the alleged par
amour which he had received and
torn up, Mrs. Amanda B. Hen
erickson, of Allentown, n. J., has
instituted a suit for maintenance
ageinst him in the Court Of Chan
Gerry. The husband IS Hires G.
Hendrickson and they were married
in Allentown in 1895.
Another charge made by Mrs.
HendricksOn against her husband Is
that he Incorporated the funds
of his employer and then disappear
ed. The petitioner says she made
good the defalcation by using 500
she had saved and borrowing $500
from her mother. Then Hendrick-
son returned to his wife, it is al
legged.
Notwithstanding all she had done
for him, Mrs. Hendrickson declares
that about February, 1907, her hus-
band began to be Indifferent to her
and this continued until he ceased
to have anything whatever to do
with her. This Indifference, Mrs.
Hendrickson charges, was due to
his Intimacy with a widow in Allen
town named Nelson. When this in
timacy was discovered Mrs. Hen
erickson says she vent home to her
mother in Allentown.
The next charge is that in Feb
ruary, 1910, Hendrickson started a
suit for divorce against his wife,
charging her with d~esertion. The
wife denied the charge and Hen
Dickson was ordered by Vice Chan
cellor Walker to pay his wife 81 a
week alimony. She claims he was
always delinquent in the payments.
1t Is charged, further, that Hendrick-
son finally had this suit dismissed in
order to avoid making the payments.
Then ONE the charges relating to
the torn letters. Mrs. Hendrickson
alleges that just before the separa-
ton oyer the widow her husband en-
gagged May Zones, a cousin of this
petitioner, ito fix up his books"
Mrs. Hendrickson charges hat her
husband and Miss Zones frequently
stayed together In the office adjoin-
ing b house, once until after mid
night. 1t was after Miss Zones had
left Hendrickson's employ that Mrs.
Hendrickson charges her husband
received the letters from the woman.
"H1rsie, be sure to destroy this,
for someone may get It," wrote Miss
Fones in n letter, according to the
allegations. Hendrickson obeyed by
tearing this and the other letters into
pieces and throwing them away. Mrs.
Hendrickson discovered the pieces,
of most of them, and pasted them to-
gether. The reconstructed letters,
with a few sections missing, are
given in the petition as follows:
