FEARED THE OTHER WOMAN.

| The domestic troubles of John P. 1nglis
and his wife Marion are again to be aired
| in the Superior Court. This time the air
| ing will be done through the medium OF a
suit for divorce brought by Mrs. Inglis
| against her husband. incidentally this
same suit has developed an unusual Cir
cumstance, which interests the lawyers
even more particularly than it does others.
| Early last March Mrs. Inglis sued her
| hsband for maintenance, and subsequently
to enjoin him from leaving the State. In
these actions the defense was represented
by Attorney Miller. who proved bitter
advocate against Mrs. Inglis. There was
much bad feeling, so the story goes, be-
| tween the complaining wife and the cou n
sci that fought her all along the line.
Ma tiers went along since then in an I'M
cert ain way, and now in the divorce pro-
ceed ings her old enemy appears as her
counsel.
This is the peculiar point of the pro-
ceedings, and it is said to contain story
of influence on the part OF lnglis over his
wife in making her forsake her former
| lawyer for one who fought her While re-
| tanned by her husband.
Inglis is the contracting agent OF the
Union Pacific Railway in this City. He
| married Mrs. Inglis thirteen years ago,
| and, according to the complaint filed by
her last March for maintenance, they lived
| happily together until another woman
estranged his affections. At that time she
did not want a divorce. She set forth in
| the complaint that in case of a divorce
having been granted she believed be would
marry her rival, and then there would be
much difficulty in getting alimony. Pend
| ing the suit the court granted Mrs. lnglis
$55 month alimony.
| Inglis himself then claimed that she
had possession of his stamp album, which
he valued at $500 to $500. She was
ordered to make deposition regarding
the album, and in doing so she stated that
| the album was in possession of Mr.
Franklin at the Sutter-street carhouse.
Franklin was called on for the valuable
collection of postage.stamps, but he de-
clared it was not in his possession, as he
had given it away even while Mrs. lnglis
was making her deposition.
| Attorney Miller wanted to have her
punished for contempt, but Judge Slack
held an opposite view OF the matter and
| let it pass.
Inglis resigned his position May 1, but
| later on reconsidered his decision, with
the result that he still remains with the
Union Pacific Company
| Hearing of his resignation. Mrs. Ingils
| brought suit to enjoin him from leaving
the State or disposing OF his mining stocks
valued at $4,000.
The last two months have made re-
markable change in the plans, as she now
charges Inglis with cruelty and wants to
be legally separated from him for that
cause. But her old attorney who won the
former fights has been cast aside for her
husbands lawyer, who will now fight
Inelis in court. The divorce will leave
Inglis free man. and consequently it is
expected that some settlement has been
made, and that the other woman will soon
come upon the scene in new light.
