 When he left for Indianapolis she and her sister accompanied him to the depot, she says, and both kissed him goodbye. On his return she met him at the train and agan kissed him.
 He told me one day in conversa- ton that he had no one to thank for his practice but himself, and l said, We'll, I don't know, it seems to me that some of your best patients are my good friends and l feel that l have helped you in that way, and feel that I am responsible for some of your good patients"
 Defendant denies trying to turn his mother against him but did ask her advice when she noticed a change in her husband. His mother said the plaintiff had m ungovernable temper and a will of his own, that she would talk to him but it would do no good Defendant repeated this conversation to plaintiff at one time. Denied that she told plaintiff that he had related his trouble to others and did not know that he was discussing his troubles with others until he had abandoned her. She was shocked at things she heard he said, says defendant, as she never thought he would talk to others about their domestic affairs.
 Tn her cross complaint the defend- ant says the plaintiff deserted her without cause and has refused to re- turn although she has done all in her power to get him to do so That af- l te, leaving her he attempted in every manner possible to induce her to con- sent to a divorce, which she at all times refused to do, and that short time after his desertion of her he at- tempted by threats and otherwise to obtain her consent to a divorce threat ening to expose wrongs which he falsely alleged she had been guilty of committing. and when this failed to serve his ends, as a last resort, he tried repeatedly by offering her valu- able property to so consent, offering her one-half of all he owned. She turned "deaf ear" to him and the pla aintiff undertook to starve her into submission to his will by neglecting and refusing to contribute anything to her support and left her dependent upon others. as she was destitute save that offered by her mother.
 Defendant charges that to justify his misconduct in deserting her and to justify his conduct in the mind of the community he has repeated slan- derous, malicious and unjustifiable reports of and concerning her and has made sighting remarks about Ter and falsely accused her of various wrongs to himself, accusing her of jealousy and all the other matters and things set up in his complaint and amendment and in public places has openly stated that the home in which he lived was "hell upon earth" to him, and has accused her of being walking devil' and called her Mrs. Jekyl and Mrs. Hyde.' and other names which were all false and made by the plaintiff to humiliate her in the opinion of friends and neigh bors and to injure her character.
