COMMON PLEAS COURT
Divorce Suit Filed


Rilla Moody. They were married
Jan. 10, 1924, and have no children.
Plaintiffs petition states that de-
fendant has been guilty of extreme
,cruelty and gross neglect of duty;
that beginning about three weeks af-
ter their marriage, while living to-
gether at Bishopville, and from that
time until April, 1926, defendant
Frequently and without cause or pro-
vocation would become enraged and
gave way to violent fits of temper
and scold and abuse plaintiff, making
his home life unbearable; that de-
fendant frequently left home and
would be gone two or three days and
nights, without having made any
preparation or arrangements for
plaintiff to have his meals, or any
| care or attention. Plaintiff says he is
past 79 years of age; that during the
time he and defendant lived together
he was in poor health and required
some care and attention and that
meals properly prepared and regu-
larly served to him were necessary
to his health and comfort. Plaintiff
further states that in April, 1926,
the parties entered contract, in
which plaintiff paid defendant $440
in cash, and defendant agreed to re-
llnquish any and all property rights,
and that defendant be barred of any
and all claims and rights of dover to
his real estate.
