with his wife, unlawfully demanded
| of plaintiff that he pay defendant
$1,000 and certain household goods
| worth 800; that at time said de-
mand was made, plaintiff was living
with defendant and husband, and
| he was threatened that if plaintiff
did not turn over and deliver to her
said amount named, they would
compel plaintiff to go to the county
| infirmary for his living and sup
port; that plaintiff had no other
home, and through unlawful intim-
| idation and undue influence he
turned over said amount. Plaintiff
states defendant has a goodly por
ton of said sum of $1,000. Plain
