A POOR FELLOW
DR.. Fearn Has Not the Wherewithal to
Pay Alimony

The sensational divorce suit Of Mrs
Lillian L. c. Fearn against DR.. John r.
Fearn of Oakland. a full and detailed
account of which appeared in the Herald
about two weeks ago, came before Judge
Shaw yesterday on citation to the de-
fendant to show cause why he has not
paid the alimony ordered by the court
during the tendency of the case.
Affidavits were filed by DR.. Fearn and
his father, DR.. John Fearn of Oakland.
in which the denials usual in such cases
are made. These documents tended to
show that DIR. Fearn has been misrepre-
sented by his wife, and that instead of
making about S400 per month, his in
come in Oakland might be represented
by cipher. He had for a time run his
fathers drug store, but had failed to
make it pay. and thereupon determined
to remove to Tulare, and try to estab-
lish himself in his profession His wife
preceded him there, but when he ar
rived he found that she had left for Los
Angeles with her mother, Mrs. DIM
mick.
DR.. Fearn claims that he has not had
and has not now money with which to
pay alimony, and denies that he has
transferred any property to other hands
to avoid obeying the order OF the court.
All of which is very sorrowful-if true.
Meantime. Judge Shaw has taken the
matter under advisement.

COURT NOTES.

George Larrabee, the insurance agent
charged with embezzlement,p pleaded not
guilty yesterday in department one and
had his trial set for November 30.
Kate Hager, who was sent to the coun-
ty hospital a couple Of weeks ago. was
ordered committed to Highland yester-
day by Judge Van Dyke. She. suffers
from persistent Authorizations regard
ing money she has lost.
Judge Van Dyke yesterday gave judg-
ment for the plaintiff in the suit of the
city of Los Angeles VS.. c. F. Bicknell,
county auditor. In this suit the city
sought to recover $1104.48 in the Vernon
district road fund belonging to that por-
tion Of the district annexed by the city.
The transcript on appeal in the case
of Clifton E. Mayne was yesterday filed
in the supreme court. The voluminous
affidavits which Judge Smith recently
refused to consider are embodied in the
appeal and thus a quantity of new mat
ter will be brought to the notice of the
higher court that never saw the light in
the court below. The district attorney
had no particular objection to these af-
fidavits being included. but at the
same time, there is difference of opin-
ion as to the legal propriety of such ac-
ton. Indeed. as the supreme court is
essentially a court of appeal on ques-
tions Of law rather than of fact, it is
considered quite possible that these
startling affidavits may be thrown out.

THE MALIM CASE
Dismissed Without Prejudice to Either
.... Side

Some misunderstanding with regard
to the suit brought by Leonard Grover
against Manager Malim of the Burbank
theater has led some people to suppose
the case was dismissed in the township
court on Friday entirely on it's merits.
Such was not the case and the merits
or dement's OF the case are as sealed
book.
The fact was that the witnesses were
not in attendance, and Mr.. Grover was
away on the road with his theatrical
troupe. The case, truly enough, had bsc:1
set for the 18TH but Grover wrote to the
district attorneys office to the effect
that he could not possibly get to Los
Angeles until the 26th. This letter got
mislaid, and when Assistant District
Attorney Williams went into court he
was under the impression that as the
plaintiff did not appear he did not wish
to proceed with the case. Malim's at
torney deepened this impression, proba-
bly,. by intimating that Grover had tried
to settle the case before leaving the city,
AS the case could not be continued save
by consent, and Malim was in court
ready for trial, there was no alternative
but to have the case dismissed
The real point Of difficulty still rests
undisturbed, but any further legal ac-
tion on the part of Mr.. Grover will ne
cessitate the issuance of a new COM
plant.

David Williams, who is better known

case against him ignominiously failed.
The gist of the whole case was that Will
liams had discovered an estray horse
and had taken it to the house of John
Wesley on Ninth street Wesley has
wife named Mollie Jackson. About
week ago some dispute arose between
the three, and the first two refused to
feed Shorty any longer. Thinking that
the rights of the horse were vested in
him. Shorty went to the stable, mounted
it and rode off. Thereupon Wesley came
into police headquarters and complained
against him for stealing the horse. The
alleged culprit was then arrested at
San Fernando and detective sent for

There Is . barber in the city named

1t was on September 20 that this en-
terprising barber took out license to
we'd Miss Rose Dearden. and the knot
was tied-as it was thought at the time
hard and fast by Justice Young on the
same day. Before the fiutterations of
the heart. which the newly married wo-
man Is supposed to endure. had fairly
subsidized, a lady called upon Justice
Young and informed him that she had
just arrived from the east and had no
ticed In the daily papers that marriage
license had been issued to one James
Priest, and that he had been Joined in
wedlock by the justice.
The urbane justice, who presides in
the township court. did not exactly see
where his fair visitor was drifting until
she sprung the mine on him by saying
that she had a lien upon this same
James Priest, he being her husband.
In proof of her assertion, she produced
her marriage certificate, which showed,
clearly enough, that Priest had been
married to her several years ago in San
Francisco. The woman seemed most
disconsolate and wanted advice as to
what she should do. Justice Young
bigamy would seem to be very proper
method to bring the erring husband to
realizing sense of his wrong doing,
but the wife failed to appreciate the
doubtful advantages of such drastic
remedy, and left the court tearfully
depressed.
Several days later she again put in an
appearance, and this time brought with
her the memorandum of marriage usual
in cases where parties are married by
Justices of the peace. The license had,
at tho time of the marriage, been for
warded to the recorder, and this docu-
ment she wanted recalled, destroyed,
nnulled-anything, so that Miss Rose
Dearden might find herself once more
spinster and she be reinstated as the
only Mrs. Priest.
The poor woman stated that she had
found her husband, and that he had gone
back upon his vows to Mrs. Priest No.
and had picked firm the broken
threads of affection which bound him
to his lawful wife. Acting in the spirit
OF the first man when caught in a cor
ner. he tried to put the blame upon the
woman. According to his wife's repre-
sentations. he confessed to her that be-
fore going through the marriage cere-
mony with Miss Rose Dearden he told
her that he was a married man.

women in the premises. but it is very

welded barber, for whom neither of the
women have, so far, shown any disposi-
ton to mete out any punishment.

On motion to set aside the verdict on
several statutory grounds the matter
went over In behalf of the defendant
to sustain the motion six aff1davi.s
were filed which are not without inter-
est.
During the trial 1t was stated that
during a certain conversation in a room
on Main street, there was some dispute
between Mrs. COLON and one Kate Full
Ter. with whom COLON had been living.
Certain witnesses stated that the Fuller
woman had then stated that If she liked
to talk she could "send him over the
road" Miss Kate Fuller, after having
mysteriously disappeared for some time

and denies everything that had been
said about her. Neither she nor defend
ants wife ever said, during that remark
able conversation, that they could send
Collom lover the road" or had quar-
relied over the possession of his precious
carcass. On the other hand, she says
that COLON was between two fires" in
talking with her and his wife, which is
doubtless true.
Harry H. Hill, who was also present
in the Main street room at the time, also
contradicts the testimony put forward
by the prosecution and j. E. Williams
makes affidavit to the effect that on a
certain date he heard two men talking in
the reading room of the Hollenbeck
hotel. They were speaking with re-
gard to some check, and a name ap
peared to it. They looked in the direct
ory and the difficulty whatever 1t was,

his companion. The latter was at
