Syllabus

<p>SYLLABUS BY THE COURT.</p> <p>1. Divorce — Extreme Cruelty — Evidence Sustains Judgment. A judgment was rendered granting a divorce to a wife on the ground of extreme cruelty. The evidence tended to show that the husband, in the presence of the children of the wife, cursed her and called her vile and obscene names, and that the language used was coarse, brutal, and cruel. It does not appear that the judgment was erroneously rendered.</p> <p>2. Same — Filing Amended Petition — Fixing Time for Trial — Within Judicial Discretion. The court in its discretion may grant leave to file an amended petition in an action for a divorce where the original petition has been on file for more than six months, and the amended petition makes the grounds for divorce more specific, and the court may compel the parties to go to trial in ten days after the amended petition is filed.</p>
