1Opinion of the Court
BROADDUS, P. L.
Divorce. The record does not show when this suit was begun, but it does show that on September 26, 1910, the plaintiff filed an amended petition. The amended petition alleges a great many indignities he received at the hands of the defendant, and that plaintiff has resided one whole year in the county of Jackson, state of Missouri. In this latter respect the allegation of residence is similar to that in the original petition. The court, after having hea^d the evidence, found for plaintiff .and entered a decree divorcing the parties fromv which the defendant appealed.
