That one house is destroyed by

That once upon a time, the moral

That the word wrench" was a

charming in the goth century is
very high compliment to be paid
any woman.

Washington, d. G.
The object of this suit is to procure
a divorce A VINCULO MATRI-

The Bill of Complaint states that
the Parties were married on May

eran Church, at Funkstown, Mary
land, and that they lived together
thereafter until on or about Septem-
Der 25th, 1919; that three children
were born as result of said marr1ge
union: Martha F. Ebersole, five, Bar
bara A. Ebersole, three, and Ralph
L. Ebersole, Jr., one year of age,
said children being now in the GUS
tody of their mother, your Oratrix;
that ever since said marriage your
Oratrix has behaved as a chaste,
faithful and affectionate wife toward
the Respondent; that notwithstand-
ing, said Respondent abandoned and
deserted your Oratrix without just
cause or reason therefore on or about
September 25th, 1949, that said Re-
spondent has committed the crime of
adultery with a certain woman at
Washington County, Maryland, and
elsewhere, the name of said woman
to be divulged at the time of the
taking of testimony in this cause, and
that your Oratrix has not lived or
cohabited with said Respondent since
she has discovered his said adulter-
les; that your Oratrix has been a
resident of Washington County,
Maryland, for more than one year
last passed, and that said Respond
ent is presently residing at Wash
ington, District of Columbia.
The Bill of Complaint then prays
that the Complainant may be divorc-
ed A VINCULO MATRIMONII from
the Respondent; that she may be
awarded the care and custody of the
aforementioned minor children and
that she may have such other and
further relief as her cause may re-
quire.
It is thereupon this 18th day of
May, AID, 1850, by the Circuit Court
