    "head_matter": "Ella W. Magee, Appellant, v. John J. Magee, Appellee.\nGen. No. 19,338.\n(Not to be reported in full.)\nAbstract of the Decision.\n1. Divorce, \u00a7 47 \u2014when evidence insufficient to show cruelty. Evidence held insufficient to show that the husband was guilty of cruelty so as to entitle the wife to a divorce, where it appeared that the last alleged act of cruelty consisted of a slight discoloration of the wife\u2019s face resulting from being struck by his arm or elbow when she was resisting his attempt to break a lock in a door with his knife, and it appeared that the previous acts of cruelty, one of which was explained as accidental, had been condoned by the wife.\n2. Divorce, \u00a7 46*\u2014when evidence insufficient to prove charge of adultery. Evidence held insufficient to show that the husband was guilty of adultery so as to entitle the wife to a divorce, where the only evidence to support the charge was the deposition of a common prostitute in another city, which deposition she was induced to make at the direction of a man, as to whom, she said, \u201cI do everything he tells me to,\u201d it appearing she was a confessed victim of the cocaine habit, and the record of her testimony disclosing that while under examination before the commissioner she suffered a mental and nervous collapse for lack of the drug.\nAppeal from the Circuit Court of Cook county; the Hon. Richard S. Tuthill, Judge, presiding. Heard in the Branch Appellate Court at the March term, 1913.\nAffirmed.\nOpinion filed December 31, 1914.\nStatement of the Case.\nBill filed by Ella W. Magee against John J. Magee for a divorce, charging defendant with cruelty and adultery. The ease was heard by the chancellor without a jury. From a decree dismissing the bill for want of equity, complainant appeals.\nComplainant urged as ground for reversal that upon the evidence adduced she established the averments of her bill and was entitled to a decree of divorce.\nWarren Pease, for appellant.\nGeorge W. Plummer, for appellee.\ngee Illinois Notes Digest, Vols. XI to XV, and Cumulative Quarterly, same topic and section number."
