Testimony was sufficient to support divorce decree in favor of wife on ground of habitual drunkenness of husband even though testimony of witnesses in his family was general in nature and notwithstanding that evidence failed to prove that he was unfit to attend to his duties as employee of United States post office, where testimony of neighbor was definite and uncontradicted and that in support of defense was of negative character and not convincing, and finding that husband was drunk for two successive years prior to filing of complaint was not required under statute.
