    "head_matter": "LELIA CURTIS CAMPBELL v. MARCUS E. CAMPBELL.\n(Filed 3 May, 1967.)\nDivorce and Alimony \u00a7 13\u2014\nIn this suit by the wife for divorce on the ground of separation, the husband\u2019s evidence is held insufficient to warrant the submission of the issue of the wife\u2019s wrongful abandonment of him, interposed by him as a defense to her action.\nAppeal by defendant from Farthing, J., January 2, 1967 Conflict Civil Session, Randolph Superior Court.\nThe plaintiff (wife) instituted this civil action on September 15, 1965 against the defendant (husband) for absolute divorce on the ground the parties are separated' and have continuously lived separate and apart from each other since August 1, 1962. The parties were married June 3, 1934 and six- children were born of the marriage, four are emancipated. The two youngest are ages 10 and 12. They spend most of the time with the defendant.\nThe defendant filed answer and testified as a witness. Both in the answer and as a witness, he admitted the marriage and the separation as alleged. As a further defense, however, he alleged the plaintiff, without cause or excuse, abandoned him. Some rather nebulous allegations of wrongdoing were set out in the further defense.\nIn his testimony, the defendant admitted the parties had some differences, that the plaintiff wanted to leave, and that he actually moved her household furnishings to her new apartment. He testified:' \u201cAs to her taking the money she earned and buying clothing and food for the family and me, she was laying up; that\u2019s what the biggest trouble ... . I didn\u2019t try to keep her from leaving me on August 1,. 1962, except that I. said, \u2018You can stay on my terms and conditions; that you be a good wife and mother.\u201d* The defendant tendered the issue of abandonment which the Court refused to submit. The jury answered the other issues in plaintiff\u2019s favor. From .the judgment of absolute, divorce, the defendant excepted and appealed.\nOttway Burton for defendant appellant.\nWalker, Anderson, Bell & Ogburn by John N. Ogburn, .Jr., for plaintiff appellee."
