Mary Claudine Holcombe seeks a divorce from Albert Devereaux Holcombe, who, she says, "is a common drunkard" and "so Settled in his beastly habits" that he could never be "reclaimed." She contends that he furnishes nothing for her support except "the occasional labor of an old negro & mule." Moreover, he is a vicious and dangerous man; she constantly fears "violence and death." She asks for a divorce, alimony, and custody of her child.
