affection had she been a stranger.
That during said trip across the con.

be made directly to him and that Ii
his wife did not follow out his com.
mands he would take her in the dying
condition she then was from the house

said wife and after her discharge was
seen in her company on one occasion
at least taking her out upon an auto
mobile ride.

of her daughter from the time that

well that his wife had but a short time
to live, paid her little or, no atten-
ton, gave her no affectionate regard
whatsoever, and on one occasion re-
fused to even assist in moving her
from one bed to another.
That a Miss Kirkpatrick, one of the
nurses in attendance upon petitioners
daughter, was so incensed and rem.
dered so suspicious by the behavior
OF the said Smart toward his said

not to leave Smart alone with his said
wife at any time; andethe other nurse
In attendance upon petitioners said
daughter stated to petitioner that she
marveled at petitioner being able to
stand said Smart's treatment of his
said wife.
