Willey

This is an appeal upon the judgment-roll from a portion of an interlocutory decree in an action for divorce. The complaint in said action is in two counts, one founded upon the charge of desertion, and the other upon the defendant’s willful failure to provide for plaintiff the common necessaries of life. In this latter count of her complaint the plaintiff alleges that the defendant has for a long time been employed in various positions in which he has been receiving salaries amounting to two hundred dollars or more a month; that the plaintiff has no means whatever and is in such physical condition as to render it impossible for her to accept employment of any kind so as to properly support herself or prosecute this action; that the sum of seventy-five dollars a month is a reasonable sum for temporary alimony, and certain other sums are reasonable for attorney’s fees and costs.
