In the divorce case of Ann Miller, complainant, vs. Isaac Miller, defendant, the latter by his solicitors, Cavanaugh & Wedemeyer, has filed an answer in the circuit court in chancery in Ann Arbor. He admits that he was married to Anna Mooney Oct. 14, 1866, by a justice of the peace in Detroit. They lived together until Aug. 17, 1899, and his wife bore him four children. He denies emphatically that he was guilty of extreme and repeated cruelty by beating and striking his wife and interfering with her personal liberty that she had to flee from home. He avers that he came to Augusta poor, and as a result of his frugality and hard labor and prudence accummulated enough to buy a small farm and to build a house upon it and to so furnish it, as to make a pleasant and suitable home for himself and family. He claims that he has always been a good and loving husband and always provided for his wife and children with all the common necessities of life and with such luxuries as his means would allow. He denies that he has money in the bank and states that he has rented his farm on shares. He claims that the injunction restraining him from selling bis personal property is working a great hardship.
