LUCY IN TROUBLE AGAIN.
The Former Mrs. AuzeraiS and Her
New Husband.
Only Few Weeks Married to Hoyte,
and Now She Flies
From Him.

Since Lucy Williams that was came
into possession of the fortune left her in
this city she has furnished great deal
of gossip for the press and public. She
was recently divorced from Louis f.
Auzerais of San Jose and married Here
ward Hoyte couple of days after
ward. Now she is in trouble with the
latter, according to the following story
published in yesterdays San Francisco
Chronicle:
The marital happiness of Hereward
Hoyte, the young English actor, and his
wife, who was only few weeks ago
Mrs. Louis F. Auzerais, seems to have
lasted but little while. Last night
there was a scene between the pair at
the Grenoble 603 Bush street, that
reused the place and called for the serv-
ices of policeman.
Mrs. Hoyte and her child, it is said,
left the house in the care of an officer,
but later returned and every effort was
made to keep the affair secret.
THE incident which revealed the end
Of the honeymoon took place late in the
evening. Mrs. Hoyte ran screaming
from her apartments into the rooms of
Leonard Gill, the Olympic football
from her husband.
In a few moments Hoyte dashed
into the room, and demanded to know
why his wife was there. Gill told him
she had asked for protection. Hoyte
was already in a rage. He grabbed his
wife and roughly pulled her out of the
room.
Gill says that later sounds came from
the apartments Of the Hoytes, indicat-
ing that the actor was ill-treating his
wife. The house was aroused, and a
couple Of gentlemen went to the door of
the room and demanded entrance.
Hoyte is said to have replied that it
was his wife and he would discipline
her as he pleased
Then Gill went for a policeman. The
officer, after some parleying, was al
lowed by the excited actor to enter the
room. Mrs. Hoyte fed to him for pro-
lection, saying she did not dare stay
longer with her husband. She left the
house with the officer, it Is related, but
later thought better Of the matter and
returned.
"The landlady at 603 Bush street late
last night positively declined to tell
anything Of the row, every query put
by her interviewer being met with a
tart I have nothing to say
"Hereward Hoyte and Mrs. Louis F.
Auzerais were married March Goth last,
just two days after Mrs. Auzerais had
obtained divorce.
Mrs. Hoyte was q Miss Lucille Will
Jams Of San Jose, and married Louis
F. Auzerais in that city in 1887. About
year ago Mrs. Auzerais, who had
about S5OO,000 left her by her father,
was stage struck. She appeared at the
Palace Hotel in a comedy, Love on
Crutches,' and was 80 charmed with
her success that she decided to Join the
ranks Of the professionals. She induced
a Mrs. Benson and Miss Price, who ap-
peared with her at the Palace Hotel, to
join her, and then Dr. George Redding
and two professionals, Holbrook Blinn
and Hereward Hoyte, made up the barn
storming party.
With unusual consideration the am
ateur-professional theatrical company
decided to test the effects of their talent
on the people Of Alaska, and Advance
Agent Louis Wood billed them to play
at Sitka, Juneau, Victoria, B. c., Port
land and other places. Hoyte was gen
eral stage manager, and the party set
out for summer engagement in Alaska
on June 10th. They encountered a frost
more chilling than the wintriest blast,
for the expedition, in spite of Mrs.
Auzerais' twenty-five Paris-rnade cos
tunes, was dead failure.
When the trip was over and the COM
pany struggled back it was generally
thought that Mrs. Auzerais' thirst for
stage notoriety had been quenched,
though she stoutly affirmed her inten-
tion Of pursuing her suddenly chosen
career, whether people cared to see her
or not. For little while she was quiet;
then one day papers In a suit for di-
vorce were filed The husband, who was
studying sculpture in Paris, did not
trouble himself to put in an answer,
and the bonds were severed.
1.-TWO days later fresh bonds with
Hereward Hoyte were welded, and Mrs.
Auzerais that was was again launched
upon the matrimonial sea-"
