PETITION OF EMILIE L. FRY. To the Senate and House of Representatives of the Commonwealth of Penn- sylvania in General .dssembly met : The petition of Emilie L. Fry, (late Emilie L. Grigg,) of the city of Phila- delphia, humbly sbeweth: That on the second day of August, 1858, your peti- tioner was united in matrimony to a certain Horace B. Fry, of said city, then and still a citizen of Pennsylvania. That your petitioner lived with him until about the eleventh day of September, 1858, when she left him for the following causes, which your petitioner begs leave to state in her own informal language: On the day of the wedding, when at Wulnut street wharf, about to take passage for New York on the bridal trip, the said Horace B. Fry got into a violent passion, swearing and cursing at me because he did not wish the trou- ble of: taking charge of the baggage. I had taken no more baggage than he had allowed me to take. It was the baggage of the two ladies who attended me as bridesmaids that put him into a passion against me. It was not the increased expense of the trip, because my father had furnished ample means to defray all expenses. On or about the fourth day of August, 1858, when we were about to leave New York for West Point, he commenced writing a letter. I suggested to him mildly that he had not time to write the letter; that we would be too late for the cars. He immediately got into a passion again and told me to go to the devil. He continued to write his letter, and the result was that we were too late for the cars. He again displayed his ungovernable temper, and cursed and swore at me, declaring that it was my fault. We took the boat for West Point and arrived there on the fifth of August, 1858., A. BOYD IIaMLTON, State Printer.
