INCOMPATIB|L|TY, MADAM
The Reason Assigned by Dewitt
Dudley for Forsaking His
Wife.
A Cool Letter Written While He Was
on His Way East Never to
Return.

The suit for divorce of Martha Dudley
against Dewitt C. Dudley was heard yes
terday in the Superior Court and was
taken under consideration, there being a
technical question as to whether the de.
fendant had been legally served with no.
tice.
The plaintiff is rather comely young
woman. The complaint is cruelty and de.
sertion. The following rather cool letter
was introduced as part of the evidence
1t was written when the defendant was on
his way East. He is now supposed to be
in New York:
NEVADA CITY, Cal. June 20, 1894.
Mrs. Dudley: l presume, madam, you
wonder at my not writing. The reason is we
did too much writing in years gone by. For
some time have realized that we both made
a mistake in not ending our communication
before IL had come to a serious end. Life in
deed is full OF mistakes and my worst mistake
was when married you, knowing as did an
impeachment existed 10 our ever being able to
live happily together, and ever since 1 have
been cursing myself for my weakness in not
Withdrawing from a compact that boded no
good to either of US. Incompatibility, madam,
incompatibility, and you perhaps have not
noticed its existence, but have. AS in a Pc
cuniary outlook the marriage was of no bene-
fl to you do not think it advisable to make
two persons live in regular turmoil of aggra-
vation.
1t is not my intention to again return to
California. You may do as you wish. Get
divorce IL you can find grounds and marry
again. l do not care. Marriage is looked
upon a failure, anyhow. One thing, pray
spare me those maledietions you can so easily
bestow. don't want any of them; they are
useless, and never pay any attention to them
besides. You need not bother writing to me.
consider it best, END / don't want TO hear
from you, and If you should be so foolish as to
write l shall either destroy the letter un-
opened or return it without reading. =
Hoping you can see the advisability of the
foregoing and not make ldiotic attempts to
annoy me, l remain, madam, yours in fare
well, c. d. DUDLEY.
