““The proof to establish the adultery must be clear, positive and satisfactory. . . . the circumstances must lead to it, not only by fair inference but as a necessary conclusion; appearances equally capable of two interpretations, one an innocent one, will not justify the presumption of guilt.” (Burke v.
