1898. she made a DoI6 concerning the or

MRS. M'ARTHUR'S CASE.
SHE Is GRANTED A DIVORCE BY
JUDGE CLARK.
The Finale OF the spokane Sensation.
Some Serious Allegations Made
Upon the WItness
Stand.

Interest in the Macarthur family was
revived yesterday by the appearance of
Mrs. Priscilla Ella Macarthur in Judge
Clark's court in prosecution of her di-
vorce suit against her husband.
The parties to this Spokane sensation
have dropped out of sight since Mr.. Nc
Arthur did not show up in prosecution
OF his charge agsinst Frank Belts for
adultery with Mrs. Macarthur. 1t was
said he had gone in pursuit of Mrs. Nc
Arthur.
All attempts to locate Mrs. Macarthur
were futile, and her att orney. F. NJ.
Porter, was evasive when asked about
her.
Yesterday afternoon when all was
quiet in department No. 2 Mrs. Nc.
Arthur and her attorney appeared in
court and the divorce proceedings were
taken up.
The default OF Mr.. Macarthur was
noted and Mrs. Macarthur took the wit
ness stand. She was evidently some
what excited, and her voice trembled
violently at times.
The grounds upon which she asked q

She alleged that his business in Spo-
kane went to rack and ruin because Of
hie entertainment in his Office in season
and ont OF season of "lewd" women, as
she called them. She also swore that
for four years he was afflicted with q
loathsome disease.
His life was 80 reckless, she said, that
people withdrew their business from
him and lost confidence in him.
In support Of her statements two dep
ositlons corroborative of them were
handed to the court and were read by
him.
At the conclusion OF the hearing de-
cree Of divorce upon the grounds stated
was granted by the court, and Mrs. Nc
Arthur hurried out of the court room as
quickly as she could.

CHASING THE ROSCOE ROBBERS.
Excitement Over an Arrest
That Was Not Made.
The Detectives Hold High Carnival,
Bat Get No Game.
Three Suspects Detained at the Police
Station, But No substantiaI Clue
Was Obtained from
Them.

No little excitement was created in
police circles yesterday when it became
known that the clue to the Roscoe train
robbers, which the detectives have been
following three weeks, was about to be
ended and several arrests made. An
hour had been set for the arrest, but it
never took place. The men under sus-
picon we're closeted with the detectives
nearly two hours at the police station,
but nothing came of it-unless it was
that it led to thaabelief that the men
were not train robbers.
Il is understood that the clue upon
which the suspects were detained yes
terday was the passing OF Mexican
money in the city. 1t is now positively
known that the robbers secured large
amount of "'dobe' money, although
the messenger and the detectives gave
it out that the Mexican money was not
touched.
1t is believed that the men under sus-
picion yesterday passed some of this
class of coin, but whether any other evil
dence was obtained is not known.
1t ia not an unusual thing to see an
exchange of Mexican for United States
money in Los Angeles, and one clue on
that score may go where a thousand
have gone-to wind. Again, if the Ros-
coe robbers show as much skill and tact
as they did in planning and executing
the dastardly outrage, they will never
be so foolish as to exchange the Mexican
coin here, unless to Chinese, VINO pur-
chase more of it than anyone, and in
which case detection is less likely.
The detectives engaged yesterday in
discussing the clue were A. b. Lawson, h,
John Thacker, Will Smith, NJ. F. Bowler
of the railroad and express companies
and Auble and Benson of the city police
department. Some OF the mon, cape
cially Auble and Benson, came to the
conclusion that there was nothing in
the clue and dropped it. 1t lie under
stood the others followed suit immedi-
ately, and all decided the robbers were
not yet known or had ever been heard
of since they wrecked the Southern
Pacific train, killed two men and robbed
the express company OF several thousand
dollars.
The clue which conjured up the ex-
citing rumors yesterday evening was
first given out by Edward Peiffer, who ia
at present a patient in the county hos
pital, two weeks ago. Peiffer himself
was at first arrested. but seemed go will
ing to be arrested that the clue WAS
abandoned. Then he gave the officers
what he knew, and the result was the
proposed arrest yesterday morning, in
which three residents of this city were
implicated. 1t may be that something
yet will come of the clue.

New Mexico Man Makes Some Grave
Charges.
There was partial hearing before
Judge Mckinley yesterday afternoon
upon petition by Jesse Rogers of Lin
coin. N. NJ, to have Mrs. N. A. Watson
produce and turn ovsr to him his two
young daughters, Ada May and Dora
Bell Rogers.
He claimed that Mrs. Eva Rogers, his
former wife, had placed them with Mrs.
Watson and she refused to give them
up, and that neither she nor Mrs.
Rogers are proper persons to have
charge of them.
1t seems thst Rogers and bis wife did
not agree very well. There were charges
on his part that she was not true to him,
and on the witness stand yesterday he
testified that ehe admitted to him that
she had been intimate with other men.
Two years ago he let her come to Cali
fornia and bring the children. At the
time she was pregnant, he testified, and
had admitted that he would not be the
father OF her unborn babe.
He had not seen Mrs. Rogers since
that time, or the children, and only re-
Gently found where they we're. He said
he was oblIgsd to resort to strategy to
ascertain that his children were at Mrs.
Watson's as she denied to him that they
were there.
DIR. Parsons. assistant physician at the
county hospital, testified 10 the birth of
. child to Mrs. Rogers at the hospital.
Mr.. Rogers said he had about $4,000
worth OF property and could provide tor
his children. This mother is contesting
the application. The csss was continued
