E Youngs afterwards told her that if she
would write to lawyer in Sacramento by
the name of w. r. Hiakson, asking what il
would cost to get divorce from her husband,
j, that such letter brought to the notice of
Mrs. Youpgs of Sacramento would he snf-
ficient to convince her that he and frankie
were quits, and thus enable him to get his
pay, which was really wages earned. She
wrote letter accordingly to said Hinkson,
3 making such inquiry, but Youngs few days
afterwards told her it was not sufficient and
MADE the further proposition that she should
write another letter TO him, and tell him to
! go ahead and procure the divorce. This she
fatty refused to do. said she would rot have
divorce aud charged him with wishing to
get rid Of her. This he met with earnest as
sertious as to the depth and warmth of his
love for her. and after repeated similar ef-
forts, and earnestly declaring his unfaltering
affection for her, and that he would ever be
true, she again yielded to his wishes, and
WROTE UPON A PIECE OF PAPER,
Which at the head was addressed to w. R.
Hinksop, as if directing him to go ahead and
get divorce, but that he must furnish his
own facts and witnesses. The note was not
put into an envelope, but handed to YoHngs,
who solemnly promised her that he would not
send it to Hinkson nor let him have it, but
claimed BY its existence being known to Mrs
Youngs of Sacramento Whom he ever claimed
was only an acquaintauce) he could get the
| money due him, and he would then destroy
the letter. Soon after this note was written
she received letter from w. r. Hinkson
which she says astonished her. and which was
evidence to her that he had received the last
note, but Youngs declared that such was not
the case, and that he had destroyed it. She
thereupon wrote Hinkson asking what, If
anything, he had done in relation to divorce,
and that if any steps whatever had been
! taken to dismiss the whole matter. as she did
not wish and would not have a divorce, and
| had not authorized any steps to that end. No
reply was received to this letter and few
| days later she wrote again in rather caustic
manner and demanded to know what was the
reason no reply was made to her letter, but
again no answer came. Meantime Youngs
| had come to Sacramento end was boarding at
Fred. +. Pres.on's, across the river in Wash
ington, Yolo county.
Mrs. frankie E. Youngs having become
strongly suspicious that proceedings were on
foot to obtain secret divorce, as Youngs
had frequently remarked that such thing
could easily be done, she left for Sacramento
on the 16sh day of August, to ascertain
whether any treachery was being practiced
upon her. Arriving at Fairfield on the after
noon train, she saw on the platform at the
station i. Z. Preston, Mr.. Youngs, and
man whom she afterwards learned was w. Il.
Hinkson They saw her; but supposing she
had not seen them, they entered another car,
and came to Sacramento on the same train.
Preston was well acquainted with her, and,
sauntering into the car where she was, asked
where she was going to up this way. She re-
piled, Z" am going to see Will. What is he

Upon seeing that she had espied her husband,

and that be had gone into another car on that
account. It then occurred to her that her
husband had previously spoken of Fairfield
as favorable place to get a divorce, and so
she asked Preston il they had been down
there upon that.business, but he earnestly de-
MED it.
He soon after said, Suppose complaint
for divorce had been fled, you wouldn't care,
would you?"
"Of course [ would" was her reply
Such thing will never be done with my
knowledge or consent"
Preston urgently insisting, secured from

ate at seeing her. She asked how he hap
pened to be at the depot, and he replied that
he frequently came there at train time to see
who came in. u walked with her from the
depot to Mrs. Walkers, on J street, between
Second and Third. where she was going to
stop. and they held a long conversation. She
infoI med him that she had seen him in Fair
field and of her suspicious that he was
attempting to obtain divorce firm her,
which he had remarked could be easily
done, and which she had always feared since
receiving Hinkson's letter, but he declared in
the most solemn manner, and finally repeated
it upon Bonded knees before her, that nothing
of the kind had been or was being done. lie
also assured her that he wanted no divorce
from her; would not accept one under any
circumstances and warmly asserted his con-
tinued affection toward her. Although she
was still suspicious that all was not right,
they remained together at Mrs. Walkers that
night. she having in mind, as she says, that
if an action for divorce had been commenced
by him. against her, the sustaining the mari
tai relations after the fling of the com
plant would be conformation. To have proof
upon the subject, after they had retired she
called the landlady into the room upon the
excuse of desiring glass Of water.
THE DETAILS.
The next day was the one on which the
woman frankie told the story to Mr.. Jones

son if he had ever seen her. He said NO.
She asked why he had done as he had. he
replied that he'd explain another time. He
had intended to let her know in time, but to
keep it quiet at present. She protested, and
was replied to finally to go to -, as SIZE

That evening Mr.. Jones was to meet her a.
Mrs, Walkers. Arrived there, Youngs
walked in and threw off his coat Jones told
him he was acting as if he owned the house.
! If he was not the woman's husband what
right had he there. Youngs refused to leave
and declined to allow Jones to talk with the
woman, who finally asked her attorney to
retire and she'd call on the landlady to help
her get rid of Youngs. which was done. On
| the 18th she called ON Mr.. joiner. Hinkson
was sent for, and came. He claimed he was
| authorized to do as he had done, and pro-
duced letters Of Mrs. +. L. Youngs. One of
them was the letter she had given TO Youngs
that he was to destroy. He said he received

He admitted receiving a subsequent letter

he received it prior to commencing the action.

reported sick, and at no subsequent date

COMPROMISE.
On the 18Th, Josh and 10Th negotiations
were pending evidently between the woman
and Youngs and the attorneys opposed to
| Mr.. Jones. He realized that she was being
counselled by them, and finally she brought
c paper to him TO examine. 1t was long,
carefully-worded, technical release, reciting
that as she had had no costs to pay in the
case, etc, and as she had received $500, she
released all claims against Youngs for all
moneys and debts to date, and ratifyirg ell
that had been done by the attorneys in the
divorce case. Mr.. Jones advised her not to
sign it, but to take any payment on the $500
note and receipt for part payment. She
promised him she'd sign no paper without
his advice, and said she'd push the pros.
ecution of the case to set aside the
divorce. Jones and O'Brien had an inter-
view about the release, but no agreement
could be arrived at, the former refusing to
agree to any compromise to cover up any
wrong.
The woman related to Mr.. Jones that
while here, in one Of her visits to O'Brien's
Office, she addressed him as Mr.. Cochrane,
