it was with defendants assent
Plaintiff states that defendant turn
ed oyer to her household goods
owned by him, except victrola, and
denies that he turned over any

fendant's loss of affection for ner

all other allegations. In answer to
cross petition plaintiff denies she
has been guilty of gross neglect of
duty or of extreme cruelty toward
him; admits she has been cold and
Indifferent, part of the time during
the past eight years, but ayers that
same was brought about by conduct
of defendant toward her; and that
she had reason to believe that he
had ceased to care for her, and that
his affections were changed to an
other woman. Plaintiff denies that
she took no interest in defendants
business, and denies that she did
not assist him in any way; admits
that for about five years she has not
inquired of him much about his
business, but reason for same was
because that when she did ask
about his business, defendant re-
fused to tell her, and would charge
her with being jealous and for that
reason only thought to learn where
he had been. Plaintiff says their
unhappiness, trouble, quarreling,
ETC., has been due to defendants
unfaithfulness to plaintiff; and his
hope and desire to cast her off. De-
fendant, plaintiff alleges, has re-
ceived notes and letters from an
other woman, or women, and left
them where plaintiff would see
them; that he wrote letter to
some woman, addressing her as
my Dear Sweetness and left it
where plaintiff would see it.
Plaintiff alleges that defendant
has associated improperly with 9TH
er women and has not had the
slightest regard for plaintiff or her
feelings; has frequently called her
vile names; has threatened to have
her sent to an asylum, and threw a
butcher knife at her. She denies
that the value of furniture turned
over to her was 5000, and denies
that it exceeded $500. Plaintiff de-
nies that defendant came to her
house July 20, peaceably and for
lawful purpose; but that he came
there when drinking and angry, and
while there he assaulted and struck
said Brown; denies that he, defend
ant, was seriously injured, and de-
nies that she refused to assist de-
fendant; denies that she had any
thing to do in bringing about the
trouble between the two men; de-
nies that she sought police authori-
ties on said occasion. She admits
that she has received services of
physicians; and AYERS that she was
nervous and sick, due in part be-
cause of defendants association
with other women, receipt of letters
and cards from them and to them.
She denies that her physical condi-
tion was better than defendants. |
She states that defendant ceased to
live with her because he ceased to
have any affection for her, wanted
to get rid Of her, and wanted her to
divorce him; denies that she caused
piness, or worry, and denies each
and every allegation contained in
said cross petition and not express
ly admitted to be true, or express
iy denied. ]
