Los ANGELES ROMANCE,
Mrs. Bella Lovett Claims That
Her Mother-in-Law Caused
Her Unhappiness.
Sues the Parents of Her Husband for
Damages for Alternating His
Affections.

LOS ANGELES, CAL, Feb. IA sem
sational suit has been filed by Mrs. Bella
F. Lovett against Mrs. Harriet Lovett and
Henry f. Lovett, in which the plaintiff
asks $4,000 damages for the alleged alien
alton OF her husbands affection by the
defendants, who are his father and
mother.
Bella F. Lovett, III her complaint, sets
forth that her husband, Albert III. Lovett,
has, by the influence and persuasions OF
his mother, Mrs. Harriet Lovett, treated
her outrageously. The old folks are
wealthy and objected to the marriage of
their only son to Bella. She alleges that
she got along nicely with her husband up
to May, 1885, but from that time on her
mother. in-law interfered She claims
that her mother-in-law has always had her
husband very much under her control and
that the marriage made no difference:
she ruled her son with a rod of iron lust
the same.
Albert, the wife alleges, was a very duti-
ful son, and always obeyed his mother
The complainant charges that Mrs Har-
riet Lovett told stories about Mrs Bella
Lovett to her husband, saying that she was
not true wife and had no affection for
him; that she had married him solely for
his prospective inheritance of great wealth
as an only son. She continued circulating
these reports until the heart of the husband
was steeled against his wife. 1t is alleged
that Albert was told that unless he de-
serted his wife he would be disinherited,
and, being faint-hearted, he accsded to the
wishes OF his mother and wenfto Boston
with her. leaving the plaintiff in desti-
tute condition

paintings-one known as the Codex Diaz,
named after the President OF Mexico, anu
the other the Codex Fernandez, after the
Secretary of Public Works OF Mexico.
The last mentioned was displayed on the
desk at the side of the speaker for the III
spection of the audience.
Other codlces were then described to the
extent of showing the character OF the SUD-
iects treated of and the periods covered oy
each.
"The next thing to consider in connec-
ton with the history of the Aztecs, Mr..
Molera continued, "are the monuments
and villages built by the Aztecs during
their peregrinations and the temples con-
structed by them after settling in Mexico.
Now we have to consider the character
of the information derived from the ma
tives by the first invaders or the country
of the Aztecs, also the writings OF those
who first came into contact with these in
teresting people. After the writings of
the conquerors we must depend upon the
writings of the missionaries" Various
works of these kinds were then reviewed
in detail. Mr.. Molera next referred to
modern works on the Aztecs, complied
from the codices that had been success
fully deciphered and which also lncorpo-
rated the facts described by the hlero-
glyphics found on the monuments of Az
tee origin.
At the conclusion of his lecture proper
Mr. Molera submitted two fragments from
one of the codices he mad described to tho
spectators. These were in frames and de-
picted scenes during the period OF the
wanderings of the Aztecs.
The most interesting portion OF the
evenings programme to many were the
illustrations by means of the steroptlcon
of the scenes of one of the wanderings OF
this people. In explanation of what was
to come specially prepared map of Mex
leo, showing the peregrinations of these
Indians before their final settlement in
Mexico, was shown.
In tracing the route of their migration
the lecturer explained that the hero
glyphics in the various codices showed
that they began their movement south
ward from lake. He added that accord
ing TO the best authorities the Aztecs
came originally from point in California
or Utah-possibly Lake Tulare or the
Great Salt Lake.
Then came reflections IN color of a
codex portraying the advance of the
Aztecs into Mexico for period of 200
years. In the course of his remarks Mr..
Molera made lucid explanations of the
system of counting in vogue with the
Aztecs, and also made some interesting
interpretations of the hieroglyphics dis
played.
Among other things the composition of
the calendar wheel and the use OF the
sacriticial stones were described as they
were presented to the view OF the audi
ence. An impressive feature was the ex-
hibition of the Lords Prayer in Aztec
hieroglyphics and its clear Interpretation
by the speaker.

Unsoundness of the Millionaire'S
Mind Not Proved by the
Evidence.
REoPENs A BITTER FIGHT.
George Barron's Counsel Will Appeal
to the Supreme Court Against
Rehearing.

SAN JOSE, CAL, Feb. 17.-Judges Lori
gan and Reynolds, sitting in banc, this
morning handed down opinions granting
the motion of Eva Rose Barron, the wild
ow, for a new trial in the contest brought
by George E. Barron, and which resulted
in the setting aside of the will of his
father, Edward Barron, on the ground
that undue influence had been used and
that the deceased was of unsound mind at
the time the will was made.
Edward Barron died at Mayfield in 1898,
leaving an estate valued at 81, 100000. He
left will dated FEBRUARY 4, 1892, under
which George E. Barron son by his first
wife, was given life interest IN 100000,
and his brother, William R. Barron, was
left $500, 600. The residue of the estate,
with the exception of about $4,000 left to
charities, was left to the widow, Eva Rose
Barron, and her three minor children.
George Barron at once commenced a con-
test of the will, and after a lengthy trial in
this city the jury on March 7, 1895, rem
dered verdict in favor of George Barron,
setting the will aside.
Eva Rose Barron, by her attorneys, then
filed bill of exceptions and asked for a
new trial
In his opinion Judge Lorigan discussed
the case, the assignments of error, ETC., in
full. The court did not believe that any
undue influence was shown. AS to the
soundness of mind the court said the evil
dence was conflicting. A new trial was
granted on the erroneous admission of tes-
timony. The trial court has erred in al
lowing the Introduction of testimon as
to the early poverty OF Edward Barron
and his first wife and as to the value of
community property at the time they sep
arated.
Judge Reynolds concurred in the opin-
ion of Judge Lorigan. He held that an
error had been committed by the court in
allowing D. NJ, Delmas in his address to
the jury TO comment upon the excluded
questions and answers in the testimony of
Mary A. CorbetJ in reference to the con-
duet of the first Mrs. Barron toward her
husband and children up to the time they
separated, and also IN regard to the con-
duet OF Barron a short time prior to their
separation. He also held that the court
erred in allowing Attorney Bowden to re-
fer to the separation of Barron and his
first wife in addressing the jury. All the
other statements of error were denied
The matter OF granting new trial will
be taken to the Supreme Court by the at
torneys for the contestant. George Barron.
