1Opinion of the Court
PROCTOR, Circuit Judge.
This appeal is from a judgment of the District Court, 94 F.Supp. 917, dismissing, after trial, a complaint for divorce alleging five years voluntary separation. 1
Mr. and Mrs. Dorsey voluntarily separated. Within a short time Mrs. Dorsey was adjudicated insane and committed to Saint Elizabeths Hospital, where she has since remained. Occasionally she was allowed to visit the home of Mr. Dorsey and their children, yet she never indicated a desire to resume family or marital relations. On the contrary, she always expressed a desire to return to the hospital.
