good cook, a tall, we'll built, good looking
man, and popular with employers and
friends. His good-natured easiness was
his great fault. Last October he met Miss
Bessie Bradley at the Glendale hotel in
Riverside, hile he was a cook there and
she was waitress. They were soon very
fond OF each other and shortly afterward
left Riverside to come here and get mar
lied.
Bessie Bradley is abou 20 or 25 years
otage and is the daughter of farmer pa
.ents who live near Fresno. She had not
been away from home before she went to
Riverside from there and was totally un-
familiar with city life, especially that led
by persons in her business where all
classes are met. In this city she and
Stanley were married and she went to
work in the Cosmopolitan restaurant as
waitress, while he entered the employ OF
the Geneva restaurant on Broadway, be-
tween Third and Fourth. They were a
very loving couple and their domestic fe-
licity was the envy and pride of their
friends who all say that after their days
work was ended they went imme-
diately to their room in a house
on Broadway between First and Second,
and enjoyed each others company exclu-
sively. But young and unsophist:cated
Mrs. Stanley met Mamie Fleming at the
Cosmopolitan restaurant, and the latter
soon mad her confidence won and her
will under control. Then was introduced
Cosmopolitan restaurant as Harry For
sythe, who, is alleged, proceeded to alien
ate the girl from her husband.
About three weeks ago Harry and she
went out for buggy ride, and were away
so late that their intimacy could no
longer be concealed. Her husband re-
preached her for her unfaithfulness, but
said he would forgive her if she would
in return give up Mrs. Fleming and
Forsy The. But the girl was ashamed
of her actions or fascinated by the illu-
sions of her sin; she told Stanley she
was no longer worthy her name as his
wife and left him to live with Mrs Flem-
ing in apartments they had secured in
the Albemarle on Spring street. There
they received Forsythe and other of Flem-
ing's friends, and there Stanley found her
after a long search. She gave her name
to Landlord B. F. Montgomery as Mrs.
Standard, though at first she professed to
be unmarried.
Stanley looked everywhere for his wife.
but under the name of Standard she
evaded his search. Finally he met her
one day on Spring street, and she agreed
to confer with him at the Cosmopolitan
last night. This enga cement she failed
to keep, and Mrs. Fleming went there
instead and told Stanley she was afraid of
him. She told him his wife had got two
sums of 500 and S400 from some one and
that she was going away. Mrs. Fleming
said she was going home to Bor-
den, near Fresno, but it is known
she was going back to Ohio to open a
small millinery shop. Mrs. Stanley left
the Cosmopolitan last Saturday to go to
work in Spring street millinery store.
She showed 500 to her friends before she
left. Thursday morning they were pack
ing to leave the city.
Stanley was wild with anxiety and night
before last wanted an officer to go with
him to the Albermarle to prevent her
leaving. He knew from her own lips that
she had got the $500 and was going away.
He desired to intercept her. But the
officer could not interfere and Stanley
gave it up. In th0 morning at Sis
o'clock he was il the Cosmopolitan, ~''d
