The fling Of an application for divorce.
On Monday evening the Chronicle alluded
to the friendship between Tiller and his

from her husband. Tiller's occupancy OF
the spaciou. front parlor for his boudoir,
and his visits to the theatre and other

also Scribed.

lady files application for divorce AS
grounds why divorce should be granted,
he alleges criminal intimacy between his
wife and the young man Tiller, as well as
TOO FRIENDLY RELATIONS
between Mrs. Feddcke and others Other
boarderS. Mrs. Feddeke was married to
him, in this city, ten years ago, He is a
German, she an American. This, she
states, i, the reason that they could not
live together
A reporter visited her this morning,
just after the filing Of the papers.
She had not been notified Of the suit,
but expressed no surprise ut the news,
saying that she knew something OF the
kind was coming.
"Tiller," She said, sis nice young
man, pleasant, agreeable to everybody, a
genuine gentleman. My husband is older

TilIer, Just as he was of every other
young man to whom ever spoke"
"Did the trouble with your husband
begin with your friendship for Tiller?"
"Oh no. That is, there was trouble
before. There was young man boarding
in my house some time ago. Mind you,
have not lived with my husband for
about three years.
He WAS CRAZY JEALOUS

nation houses and meeting my board

very pleasant company, He helped me

ways kind friend"
The door into the front parlor the room
occupied by Tiller, was opened and a
rather seedy looking individual, whom
Mrs. Feddeke called "Mac," was seated
inside. "Mac." arrived Monday and the
reporter who called on that day found
him seated in Tiller's room. Mrs. Fed
deke introduced him as an old boarder
who had come to help her in her trouble.
She said that her husband was
DEAD SET AGAINST TuLER,
and now that he had his chance, would
work all the mischief he could. "Many
is the time" she added, "that my hus-
band has been here and begged me on his
knees to come back to him, but do you
suppose that would go after what have
suffered?n
