Mrs. Luigi Dulcich-Dobin-G -Grogan does
not believe the Superior Court has given
her fair deal, although she does not say
that she has been treated badly. The lady
has had variety of matrim onial expert
ences and now she believes she is entitled
to some property that belonged to one of
her husbands. The court decided other
wise and Mrs. Dulcich who, in addition to
being the wife of those mentioned, started
her career of marriage with a Union
soldier who was killed, has entered an ex-
ception and thinks she should have a new
trial.
The lady's history, as told by herself is
interesting. II have had rather troubled
welded career" she said, "but my certifi-
Gates are all clear and there is no difficulty
at all in proving my claims. was first
married to q older who was killed at the
battle of Gettysburg. At the time OF his
death L had one little girl. orew PEN
sion until my second marria-e and then
my daughter had the pension money until
she came of age.
I'm May, 1866, was married to Terence
Grogan, and five days after the marriage
we came to California and took up our
residence in East Oakland, after ward going
to Hum boldt County. a little boy was
born there, and when he was six months
old was forced to leave my husband, as
could not endure life with him any longer.
Il came back to Oakland with my boy
in 1867 and lived here for some years. In
FS71, being assured beyond a doubt that
my second husband was dead, l married
Louis Dobin. We were married by a
Justice of the Peace, and soon after our
marriage We went to Peru and endured
great hardships. Three children were
born, and after some years our condition
RI INN
we had nothing to eat, but when Dobin
started saloon we made money.
Il was his companion and faithful wife
throughout. Our life was one of hardship
and as a last resort 1 went upon the stage.
1 was moderately successful from the
start but as l adopted the profession from
necessity and not choice dropped it as
soon as we had money enough to start in
business.
when the war with Chile broke out l
returned to Oakland with the three chill
dren and Dobin remained behind. He fol
lowed me in about couple of years, and
after being together for less than year
Dobin left me. When ne came back from
Peru he told me that his name was not
Louis Dobin, but Luigi Dulcich. With
the money that we both helped to save he
bought property in East Oakland that is
now worth $4,000"
Six years ago Dulcich brought an action
to have the marriage annulled on the
ground that the second husband, Terence
Grogan, was still alive. An affidavit was
produced in court purporting to come
from one Terence Grogan in the State of
Washington. Mrs. Dulcich denies that
tho affidavit is from her former husband,
but it is attested before notary and on
the strength of it her marriage with
Dulcich was annulled.
Mrs. Dulcich, or Dobin or Grogan, is
very confident that she can prove such a
case that the court will eventually award
her half the East Oakland property.
