Copy of Libel
The Libelant alleges that she was
married to the said libelee at Rum
ford in the State of Maine on the 10th
day of June 1914; the said libelant and
libelee cohabited in this State after
their said marriage: that the ltbelant
of divorce accrued as hereinafter set
forth, and had resided here in good
faith one year prior to the date hereof;
that the libelant has ever been faith
full to her marriage obligations, but
that the said libelee has been unmind-
full of the same; that on the 18th day
Of July 1922, and on divers other days
and times since their intermarriage
the said libelee committed the crime
of adultery with one Florence Cobb:
that since their intermarriage the said
libelee has been addicted to gross and
confirmed habits of intoxication: that
being of sufficient ability he has
grossly, wantonly and cruelty neglect
ed and refused to provide suitable
maintenance for your libelant; that he
has been guilty of cruel and abusive
treatment and extreme cruelty towards
her, as follows. to wit:
That two children have been born
to them during their said marriage,
now living, viz: Gladys May, aged ten
years; and Marguerite E., aged six
years.
Wherefore, she prays that divorce
from the bonds of matrimony between
herself and said libelee may be de-
creed, and that the care and custody
of their minor children may be given
to her; also that reasonable alimony
be decreed to her out of his estate; or
in lieu thereof that a specific sum be
paid to her by him.
And the libellant further alleges
that he has used reasonable diligence
to ascertain the present residence of
said libelee, but is unable to do so,
and does not know where it is.
