gust p. Wagener sued for a separation,
alleging drunkenness, assault and aban-
donment by her husband. She says he
threatened to shoot her. So she had to
leave him last February.
He is mild little chap, with an ex-
preston Of injury on his face. He de-
MED al her charges. and replied that on
the contrary she frequently fired tea
cups at him and made home life at 433

added that in 1891 he discovered that
Josephine had been in secret correspond

with the array OF Witnesses in court for
her husband, for sheNdid not appear to-

Mr.. Solomon, counsel for the husband,
pressed the counter charges, and pre-
sented several witnesses to prove them,
among them Lust, who unblushingly
told the story OF his intimacy with Mrs
Brendgen. and Mrs. Sauter corroborated

MRS. OELRICHS MUST WAIT.
Fair Estate Tied Up by Charley
Fairs Suit at Lnw.
(By Associated Press.


SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. AIRS. Her.
man Oelrichs may be compelled to wait
some time for the million and a half leg
acy to receive and receipt for which she
came here from New York two days ago.
The delay in the payment of her share
in the four million dollar estate left her
mother. Mrs. Theresa Fair, is due to
the fight now being made in the courts
by Charles l. Fair. the surviving son,
who claims the legacy of his dead
brother, James.
by the terms Of the mothers will, each
son was to receive 100000, James when
he had attained thirty-five. and Charles
when he had attained thirty years. 1t
was provided that in case either brother
died without a wife or children, his share
should go to the survivor. IL both
brothers died wifeless and childless,
their legacies were to go to the sisters,
Mrs Oelrichs and Miss Virginia Fair.
Charles claims that his marriage, a
year ago altered the case and makes his
brothers share payable to him now. in
stead OF five years hence. The sisters
contest this point, desiring. 1t is said. to
receive the interest on the half million
for five years themselves. Charles will
receive his own legacy In two years.
The family litigation has tied up the
estate.

TO PREVENT PERJURY.
Judge McAdam Strongly Favors
a Special Divorce Court.
He Says There Is a Crying Need for
Such a Tribunal.
And Violators Of Their Vows Might
Then BE Punished.

Judge McAdam, OF the Superior Court,
to-day announced that in his opinion
there should be special court esta5-
lished in this State for the hearing and
investigating of divorce cases.
There is court of this sort in Eng
land. and there is crying need for one
here" said the Judge.
There Is no branch of litigation"
continued Judge McAdam, where there
is as much perjury as in divorce ac-
tions. In nine cases out OF ten. both
the defendant and correspondent are
willing to swear to anything.
THE Sanford divorce case, In which
l rendered a decision yesterday, was
the most remarkable case / ever knew
to come before court, and Is an ex-
ample of the extent to which people will
perjure themselves in divorce proceed
inggs .
vorce court would, to large extent, do
away with much OF this perjury"
During the month of September Judge
McAdam had thirty-three divorce cases
To-day Judge McAdam disposed OF the
cases on his calendar early and retired
TO his private chambers. He had been
there but few minutes when a lawyer
VINO had divorce case on hand called
on him and wanted him to hear the
case, on the plea that Judge Gildersleeve,
who was sitting In the Special Term,
was busy.
II will not hear the case" said Judge
McAdam. When am in Special Term
! Will hear all such cases that come be-
fore me, but / refuse to do so unless they
come before me In the regular course"
There has been considerable discussion
among judges as to whether there should
not be a law by which people found
guilty of violating their marriage vows
in a divorce action could be punished.
Judge McAdam said to-day that under
the present system II would be very hard
to regulate such a law. because Of the
perjury already mentioned, but that with
special divorce court 1t might be pos.
sihle to nut such law into effect
