Opinion
No. 30927.
June 22, 1931. Rehearing Denied July 17, 1931.
Appeal from Civil District Court, Parish of Orleans; E.K. Skinner, Judge.
Elias Bowsky, of New Orleans, for appellant.
M.C. Scharff, of New Orleans, for appellee.
Plaintiff sues defendant for a divorce on the ground of adultery. It is shown that she spent two nights in a darkened house alone with a man who was not her husband. Her defense is that she went there only for the purpose of nursing him. But she is not a nurse; and is often found in company with strange men and in places of questionable character. Under the circumstances we do not believe her testimony, and think the trial judge erred in doing so.
Decree.
The judgment appealed from is therefore reversed, and it is now ordered that plaintiff have judgment against defendant decreeing a divorce between them, and dissolving the bonds of matrimony heretofore binding them. Defendant to pay all costs.
