She avers that her husband built a large cellar at their house during the other dry term and received liquor in barrels by the four horse load. He required her. she says, to draw it from the barrels, mix a half gallon of water to every two gallons of whiskey and add some coloring matter and brown sugar. This mixture, she says, he required her to bottle and send down town to him. She alleges she performed this operation at his dictation hundreds of times. In his affidavit Mr. Bogert answers nearly all of the charges his wife makes in her complaint. He denies he was domineering, unkind and ab usive. He admits having had a con versation with her recently ln which he offered to buy her and her oldest daughter tickets to California and give them $100. but states that on the following morning for the sake of their young children he offered to live In a separate part of the house and give her $50 a month for the support of herself and daughter.

Relative to her visits to the room over her cellar she states that the room Is occupied by James Riley, an employe of her hus band, and that such visits as ens made were at the request of her hus band and in connection with his ills, sal operations Moreover, she states that her hus band now has much liquor In his cel lar and has ,.n several occasions sine the first of the year had some of It moved to his place of busineaa. Her daughter. Zua. makes affidavits that he tried to have her small hroth..r j bring liquor to the store. mere is a great deal of other mat ter of dispute contained in the papers on file.
