This Is very unusual action,

supplied her with motor cars and
Jewelry supervised her bank account
and has borne the same rel tions
! with her as a man ordinarily bears
to his wife.
"The proof on this rubject was
overwhelming and convincing and
upon the uncontradloted proor find
that the plaintiff has been guilty. p:
adultery with one Florence II Leeds
and has lived in adulterous inter-
course with her from the year 1915

from Christman Of 1917 10 March, 1918.
the plaintiff was never at the home OF the
adult defendant at ploasantville and there
was no meeting at any other place which
would have naturally permitted the usual
III h,.ersoGrse ..r between a husband and wife.
To meet tls proof evidence has been
offered on behalf OF the adult defendant
that on Januray c and January 81 OF 1918

Clawson) son Of a wealthy Buffalo, N
Y. manufacturer and a friend OF the
stLllman children, strengthened by letters
written by him setting forth tho fact OF |
the presence OF the plaintiff at Mondanne
are most convincing.
The evidence on the part OF the plain
