Louise Allen, the complaint having
been fled In the circuit court Of this
county. The couple was married on
April 25, 1915, and the complaint

because OF his being a stranger In the
community he was unable to defend
himself against the charge. The com
plant also sets forth that Ave days
after the wedding the wife told her
husband that he was not responsible
for her condition. but named another
who was the author Of her trouble,
Because OF these alleged facts, Mr..
Allen asks that the matrimonial bond
be severed.
