Appellate Court of Illinois

Decided June 26, 1893

Appellate Court of Illinois · decided 1893-06-26

<p>Separate Maintenance—Divorce.</p> <p>In view of the evidence in the case presented, wherein a wife filed a bill for separate maintenance, and her husband filed a cross-bill for divorce, this court declines to interfere with a decree dismissing both bills.</p>

Decided 1893-06-26

Mr. Justice Green.

¶1Kate Howard filed a bill for separate maintenance against George Howard, who thereupon filed a cross-bill for divorce. The court below dismissed both bills. The court evidently found that appellee was a drunken, worthless man, who at times was cruel, and that appellant gave him cause, by her improper conduct, to gravely complain.

¶2The court had the parties before it and could better judge than we, of the credibility of the evidence. In addition to this, appellee has nothing in the way of property to contribute to her support and the evidence does not indicate that he ever will have. The decree is affirmed.

¶3Decree affirmed.
