Head Matter:
ELDRED v. ELDRED.
Divorce — N onsupport.

Appeal from Hillsdale; Chester, J.
Submitted April 14, 1911.
(Docket No. 5.)
Decided June 2, 1911.
Bill by Mary E. Eldred against L. Selah Eldred for a divorce on the ground of nonsupport. From a decree for complainant defendant appeals.
Reversed.
Charles M. Weaver and Charles A. Shepard, for complainant.
Arthur L. Guernsey and Merton Fitzpatrick, for defendant.

Opinion:
Hooker, J.
The defendant has appealed from a de cree of divorce granted to his wife on a hearing upon proofs taken in open court. We are constrained to hold that the testimony fails to make out a case warranting the decree, which must therefore be reversed, and the bill dismissed. It is so ordered.
Ostrander, C. J., and Bird, Blair, and Stone, JJ., concurred.
