The Young Man Married the
Notorious Sadie Nichols
Last Week.
SAYS HE IS PERFECTLY SANE.
His Mother Laid His Fathers Ulti.
matum Before Him Which He
Stubbornly R jected.

Hermann Braunschweiger Jr., who mar
ried the notorious Sadie Nichols in Oak
land last Wednesday, was arrested yester-
day afternoon on the charge of insanity
and locked up in the inebriate ward in
the Receiving Hospital.
The complaining witness is his father,
Hermann Braunschweiger, the wholesale
liquor merchant, who swore to the COM
plant before Judge Sanderson yesterday.
Braunschweiger Jr. was found at 116
Eddy street, where he was living with his
wife. She followed him to the hospital,
and after condoling with him went in
search of her attorney, Porter Ashe,
to get him to take steps to have her
husband released.
The young man took his arrest good
naturedly. He said his father was a stern
man, but he was also just man. He had,
however, made a mistake in having him
arrested for insanity if he thought by that
means to attain his end to get separation
between him and his wife.
II am perfectly sane" said he, "and no
one will testify that there is anything
wrong with my mental faculties. 1 had
not been drinking before my marriage,
L d
l suppose will have to remain here till
tomorrow morning, but then feel GER
tain l will be discharged"
Last night the young mans father and
his mother visited him at the hospital
The mother went to his cell, while the
father remained outside. Sadie was in his
cell at the time and she renamed there
the whole time during the interview be-
tween the mother and son.
His mother had proposition to make
to him from his father and she wanted
the opportunity to dol it while he was alone.
But it was not afforded her. She told him
that his father, on condition that he would
take steps to annul the marriage with
Sadie Nichols, would send him to one of the
springs to sober up and then he could go
abroad and travel for as long as he liked,
and when the old man died he would get
his Just share of his wealth. If, however,
he would not agree to these terms he
would disinherit him and have nothing
further to do with him.
The mother pleaded with him to accept
his fathers terms, but after over an hours
interview she had to leave heartbroken at
his obstinacy as he refused to give the
oman up.
"This is the second scrape that the boy
has been in," said Mr.. Braunschwe iger
About three years ago he got into a
scrape with a woman named Jennie
Griffin, but she got tired of him and threw
himout.
"He must give up this woman or I will
disinherit him. The boy must have been
mad when he married her. There is a
ia int of insanity running through the
family and it seems as if he had his share
of it,"
After his mother and Sadie had left him
young Braunschweiger said he felt sorry
for his mother and he could have given
up his life easily if it had been for her
alone. But his father had made a great
mistake in trying to have him declared
in sane. He would not be bulldozed that
way and would just be as stubborn as his
father.
Sadie went in search OF Superior Judge
to get her husband released from the hos
pital and said she would be willing to pay
for the services of deputy sheriff to keep
