HUSBAND VS.. WIFE.
The Clark Divorce Case in District
Court.
Plaintiff and Defendant Contradict
Each Other.
Several Misdemeanants Are Ar
raiqned and Plead Guilty.

The Clark divorce suit, a case which
has attracted considerable attention local
" both on account of the personal charms
of the fair defendant and the directness of
the charges preferred against herr attract
ed quite an audience to the court house
yesterday afternoon. The only ladies
present were the respondent and two wit
nesses, but the male attendance was quite
large. A portion of the testimony, Mr..
Clark's side of the story, was quite racy.
He stated hat on returning to his home
about 2 o'clock one morning last winter,
he discovered the partner Of his joys, sor-
rows and salary in a compromising atti-
tude with Chas. Kreitzer. The latter
disappeared hurriedly by the back door
route, was pursued and overtaken by
Clark and marched back to the room
The guilty pair, the plaintiff says, then
acknowledged the existence Of the liaison.
A deposition by the correspondent
practically corroborated Clark's testi-
mony.
Mrs. Clark strenuously denied the
story, and Gus. Jenkins, Kreitzer's
roommate, testified hat on the night in
question, to the best of his knowledge his
friend had entered their sleeping room
about IL o'clock and remained there con-
tinuously until noon the following day.
No tears were she'd during the hearing
and no one tainted, but there was some
mighty plain talk. AT this stage of
the case the aspect is somewhat un-
usual. By actions husband brands wife
as a p%erjurer, and vice versa.

sumed Monday morning at 9 o'clock.

and pleaded guilty. The prisoner was
sentenced to a term of thirteen months in
