The object of this suit is to pro-
cure decree for a divorce vinculo

2. That though the conduct of
your oratriX toward her husband, the

said James G. Flick without just cause
or reason, abandoned and deserted her
on the said 9th day of December, 1922,
at Garrett county aforesaid, since
which date she has neither seen the
said defendant nor heard anything
from him whatsoever.
8. That said abandonment has
continued uninterrupedly for more
than three years and in the opinion of
your oratrix is deliberate and final,
and the separation of the parties be-
You'd any reasonable expectation of
reconciliation.
4. That your oratrix and the said
defendant, James G. Flick have had
no children born othem from said
marriage.
5. That the said James G.. Flick
is a nonresident of the State of Mary

dence is unknown to your oratrix.
