Los Angeles herald., 1891-08-07

Readers of the HERALD will remember
some weeks ago an account OF woman
chasing a man from the Commercial
street depot into the sheriff's office,
where he went for protection. The
woman was Mrs. Maggie Yndart, wife Of
Frank YDdart: nephew OF Don Antonio
Coronel. Yesterdays HERALD an
nounced the commencement of divorce
proceedings by Mr.. Yndart. That gen.
tleman considers that his case has not
been fairly represented, and yesterday
addressed the following letter to the
HERALD:
EDITORS HERALD: Will you kindly
give me space to correct statements made
in the contemporary press of this city
which do me great injustice, and are cal
culated to prejudice my cause in public
opinion.
First, l am quite willing that the
county clerk permit inspection of the
papers in my suit for divorce, and /
hereby authorize such inspection by
members of the press and others. This
complaint will show also my reason for
leaving Maggie Yndart eight years since.
BY the instigators of the suit against
my dear uncle, Don Antonio F. Coronel,
was brought back to Los Angeles under
the influence of liquor, and whilst con-
tinuously intoxicated Twas persuaded by
misrepresentation to bring suit against
Don Antonio. Returning to sobriety, l
investigated the matter with disinter-
ested citizens, and saw that the suit was
unfounded and unlawful. Far from hav-
ing been sequestered by Don Antonio,
went to him of my own accord for per-
mission to inspect family documents,
and it was at my urgent entreaty he
allowed me to become his guest. Ihave
had my entire liberty since being with
him, and can prove that have been in
the central business streets of the ciuy
almost daily.
As to Don Antonio's anxiety to have
dismissed the suit against him, he de-
sires that it be prosecuted, in order to
settle once more and for ever the con-
tinual harrassing charges which disturb
our family tranquility. AS to the i'm
putation against my sanity propose to
undergo medical examination in order
to determine my mental responsibility.
As to the trace" discussed with so
much JUNCTION, ran away from Maggie
Yndart, not wishing to raise my hand
against woman, nor yet to receive
bodily harm, which she declared she
would infict upon me unless l would
consent, before she should finish count
ing three, to her propositions. Very
sincerely, FRANK YNDART.
