Petition states they were married Dec. 17, 1928, and have three minor children. Soon after marriage they went to Stockport, where they resided together until Aug. 5, 1935. Petition further states that all the time plaintiff resided with defendant, the latter was an employe of the B. & O. railroad company, and that as such had good work and sufficient income to provide plaintiff and children with a comfortable living, but she avers defendant would frequently get drunk, and spend a good portion of his wages for intoxicating liquors, and consequently plaintiff and their children were frequently without food and clothing and other necessaries of life. Plaintiff says that in February, 1935, defendant became ill with pneumonia and was confined to his bed for about three weeks, at which time she faithfully cared for him until he was restored to good health; and she states that after his illness he changed his conduct and on frequent occasions he would become violently abusive toward her and often without just cuase would strike and kick her, causing her severe injury. She recites in petition a number of instances in which defendant did plaintiff bodily injury: that during month of May, 1935, plaintiff was sleeping with her two children in a separate room from defendant, when he came to their room and attempted to choke plaintiff, and in SO doing struck one of their children, causing the child to become unconscious. Plaintiff states that she then seized the child and they were compelled to leave the house in their night clothes, in a downpour of rain, in order to escape further injury from defendant. Plaintiff states that because of defendant's deportment she became afraid to longer live with him, and on Aug 5, 1935, she separated from him and has since, with their three children, lived separate and apart from him, in property owned by her father, in Stockport. Plaintiff says that defendant has furniture, a Ford automobile and other property, of the value of $100, and that defendant is stlil employed as a B. & O. railroad laborer.
