Mr.. Than argued that his client had

cradle trouble between the couple was
their widely different natures. The
husband was content, after his days
work was done. to remain III the house,
but his wife was not. She wanted eX-
element and was fond Of an occasional
lark in which Intoxicating liquors
played an important part 1t is
also said that Mrs. Anderson was
not as discreet as she might have
been. She had quite a large circle of
acquaintances who know her simply as
"Lou" Anderson, and when she was i'll
troduced to gentlemen it was always as
Miss instead of ''Mrs." Anderson
In fact, her name appears in the direc.
tors as ''Miss Lou Anderson" living at
303 South Fifth street. The people who
keep boarding house at that address,
however, say that while she was living
there her husband was with her, but
they also say that they "never saw any
thing out of the way with her." After
the shooting the detectives searched the
room occupied by Mrs. Anderson on
Central avenue, and, according to their
statements, Anderson had grounds for
more than suspicion of his wife's ac-
tons. Letters and photographs OF
men were found there, and the
officers intimate that if their contents
were known they would be very damag-
ing to Mrs. Anderson. Yesterday a
subscription paper was started among
the customers Anderson had served
with groceries to raise funds to pay his
expenses while in the hospital, and to
prosecute Buchan, who, it is said, is
backed by powerful moneyed interests.

HE WAS MARRIED BEFORE.
Why Venie la Brie Wanted a Di-
yOrce From Her Hubby.

Four years ago Joseph NJ. La Brie
became the lawfully welded husband
of Venie Kittson, she being then twenty
years old and he twenty-five. They
were married i'll Milwaukee, and lived
there until last September. Then 10
seph betook himself, it is said, to an
other habitation. Yesterday his wife
begun suit for divorce from Joseph, and
in her complaint alleges several naughty
things against Joseph. First, he de-
serted her. as previously mentioned,
last September. More than this, the
complaint alleges, when he went to the
altar with Venie Kittson he was already
married man, and had wife living
from whom he bad never been divorced.
His wife also alleges that Joseph has
been wont to daily with dark brown
LIQUOR more than is good for him, and
has thereby become an habitual drunk
ard. But La Brie's misdeeds, accord
ing to his wife, do not stop here. She
says that since last October he
has repeatedly disregarded his marriage
vows and committed adultery with one
Lou Beck, whose true name is un-
known. His wife says, too, that Joseph
possessed violent temper and used to
amuse himself at Odd moments by abus-
ing her. She cites dates on which he
swore at her, and cursed her, called her
vile and indecent names. pulled her

DER" Judge Emery said that in case
Anderson died Buchan could be rear
rested immediately. The court thought
that as the penalty for the offense is i'm
prisonment from five to ten years in
the penitentiary, the bail should be
fixed as high as in property cases which
have been before the court, and for
which the penalty was the same as for
assault in the first degree. He thought
the bail should be fixed high enough to
insure his appearance, and placed it at
81 ZOO for an examination tomorrow.
Buchan was taken down stairs and
turned over to Tailor Bradley for
safe keeping. For time he
was allowed the liberty of the
corridor. He sat on bench
blowing great rings of smoke from
cigar apparently at peace with the
world. When GLOBE man called upon
him he said: 81 cannot be interviewed
about the shooting, for my lawyers have
instructed me to say absolutely nothing.
They will &ave to do the talking for
me-"
Twill you be able to give bail?" was
asked.
II think will. know few people
here. If l was only in Pittsburg /
could give any amount of security. I

company. and l have been a bridge
builder all my life. About five years

this city. l have been travelling on bus
mess for the company since Christmas,
but was not going to do anything here.
I have telegraphed to friends in Pitts
burg and in all probability l will be re-

Anderson's friends, and he has quite
a number of them, deny the stories told
about his abusing his wife. His en-
ployers, Dart & Co., speak very highly
of him as sober and industrious young
man. The people in the Twelfth street
boarding house say that Anderson was
home. One thing which caused consid-
