became more cruel and Hireatenlng

moral conduct with and toward other
men, despite tlie fact that she was a
country girl, ignorant and had al-
ways lived a moral life theretofore.
The threats of defendant finally on

Hint tlie life of herself and sister

date plaint iff and tier sister run away
from said hotel, since which time

dant, and for cause of action plaintiff
represents to the court that she is

tion herein an actual bona tide inhabi-
tant of the State of Texas mid lias

gorda for at least, six months next
preceding the filing of this suit; tiiat
on or about the 18th day of January,
1920, in Harris County, Texas, plain-
tiff was lawfully married to defendant
aud that they continued to live to-
gether as husband and wife until on
or about the 21st day of June, 1920,
when by reason of tlie cruel and
limsli treatment and improper conduct
ot defendant toward plaintiff she was
forced and compelled to permanently
abandon liim since which time they
have not lived together as huband and
wife.
Plaintiff alleges tiiat during the
time that she and defendant lived to-
gether as aforesaid she was kind and
affectionate, always doing her full
duty toward defendant as a wife
should do but tiiat defendant unmind
ful of the duties and obligations of
his marital vows in a few days after
their said marriage began a course
of cruel and harsh treatment of her
which continued until she was com-
pelled to abandon him.

court that in the year 1917 that this'» hOU*e a few lilocks from said hotel
