OPENED HIS LETTERS.
Discovery of a Husbands Plot to Get
Rid of His Wife.

Rid of His Wife.
Los ANGELES, Oct. 20.-A strange case
put on trial to-day was that of Clara Arm
strong, before United States Commits
sioner Van Dyke, for intercepting and op-
ening letters belonging to her husband,
George Armstrong. The letters show the
story of Armstrong trying to get his wife
sent to the penitentiary in order that he
might elope with a magnetic brunette of
Santa Barbara, Allie Leach. There was
method in Armstrong; madness. If his
wife is in Jail she cannot appear or put in
an answer to a bill for divorce, which he
intends to have drawn as soon as he gets
out of the State, and he will then marry
Allie.
Mrs. Armstrong stated it was over a
year ago that she met Armstrong, who
made love to her and finally married her.
Soon after the marriage he began to abuse
her and not one penny was provided since
the marriage for their support. He lived
on her earnings and several times endeav-
ored to swindle her mother out of money.
He was several times arrested for failure
to provide and for attempting to defraud
his mother-in-law. Several letters writ
ten TO Armstrong by the fascinating
brunette of Santa Barbara were intro
duced in evidence this morning. Miss
Leach is undoubtedly young woman of
education as well as beauty. These are
the letters that Mrs. Armstrong inter-
cepted and for which she is being prose-
cuted by her husband.
In one of the letters she outlines the
plan Of action on the part of Arm mstrong
to get his wife out of the way to elope
with her. During the reading of the let
ters Mrs. Armstrong wept copiously
