Argued before BOYD, C.J., and BRISCOE, THOMAS, URNER, STOCKBRIDGE and CONSTABLE, JJ.
George Whitelock, of Baltimore (Whitelock, Deming & Kemp and Wm Ewin Bonn, all of Baltimore, on the brief), for appellant.
Frank G. Turner, of Baltimore, for appellee.
The appellant herein, in March, 1915, filed a bill for an absolute divorce on the ground of abandonment against the appellee herein. On June 21, 1915, the appellee filed her answer thereto, denying the allegations of abandonment, and on the same day filed a cross-bill for absolute divorce on the ground of adultery. The appellant did not prosecute his bill, and it was dismissed under date of July 19, 1915 neither did the appellant answer the cross-bill of his wife but it was prosecuted by the appellee, and decree entered on the 14th day of August, 1915, divorcing her from the appellant a vinculo matrimonii, and awarding her the guardianship and custody of their minor child.
"And it is further adjudged, ordered, and decreed that the said complainant, Adelaide Passano Newbold, is entitled to receive by way of alimony, out of the said Eugene S. Newbold's estate, and the said Eugene S. Newbold is hereby ordered to pay unto Adelaide Passano Newbold, the complainant in the cross-bill, a weekly allowance of eighty dollars ($80.00), to be computed from this 14th day of August, 1915, and payable thereafter on each and every Saturday, during the lifetime of the said Adelaide Passano Newbold." On October 16, 1917, the appellant filed a petition, alleging that the appellee had remarried and become the wife of a certain John B. McCormick, and alleging that the said John B. McCormick had become liable for the support and maintenance of the said Adelaide Passano McCormick, and that the petitioner should be relieved from all obligation to maintain or support her, or to make any further payments of alimony for her support and maintenance, and further prayed by amendment that the court fix a proper allowance for the support and maintenance of the infant child of the parties. The appellee filed a demurrer to the petition, but the court overruled the demurrer and rescinded the decree as to alimony. Later the order of December 3, 1917, was rescinded, and an order overruling the demurrer with leave was filed.
The case was then set down by the appellant to be heard on petition and answer. By doing this the appellant admitted the truth of all matters stated in the answer which were susceptible of proof by legitimate evidence. It therefore became the evidence of the case. Miller's Equity, §§ 255 and 256. The answer was quite a long one, and exceptions were filed to six of its paragraphs, five of which were stricken out by the court and exceptions to the six overruled. The paragraph left in dealt with the financial standing of the appellant. We will here reproduce some of the paragraphs that remained in the answer after the ruling on exceptions:
