her he would 90 TO Alaska if she persist
ed in keeping him bound to the marriage

her last August and since then has failed
to support her and their three-year-old
child She asked $500 year alimony
and 81 800 as counsel fec Mrs. Vock says
that since Mr.. Volck's mother married

that he had a rich mother, and what

with her. confirming his letter To his wife
while she was abroad that he would
never again live with her. Mrs. Nolck

was not SO surprising TO hor as was his

though his stepfather objected. Nolck
urged his wife. she alleges, To get III
vorce from him because his heart be-
