PASADENA

PASADENA, Aug. 7-(Regular Corre-
spondence.) Last night Joseph Rogers,
the young clerk of the Harper & Reynolds
company, who was deserted by his wife,
Annette Lewis-Rogers, after she had lived
with him two or three days, succeeded in
getting an interview with her mother, Mrs.
Elmira Lewis of 1868 North Marengo ave-
nue.. Last night about 1880 Rogers and his
sister, Miss Rogers, visited Marshal Lacey,
who accompanied them, with several
others, to Mrs. Lewis home, where game
of hide-and-seek was played among the
pepper tr.es on the corner of Marengo ave-
nue. and Pearl street, the marshal, re-
pcr.ers, neighbors and the principal in the
scandal case taking part. Mrs. Lewis was
seen to enter the house from the rear.
Presently her married daughter, Mrs.
Langdon, appeared at the door to see what
was wanted. At first Mrs. Lewis was said
to be not at home, but finally it was found
that she had locked herself in her room
refusing to see Rogers. Miss Rogers was
at length granted an interview with the
mother-in-law, Rogers listening from a
window to what was going on. This inter-
view did no good, and then Mrs. Lewis
an6' Joseph Rogers, the groom, conversed
through the window. Some lively things
were said on both sides. Mrs. Lewis de-
clared positively that she did not know
where Annetta Belle is, but that she is far
and that she does not wish to see Rogers.
Both Mrs. Lewis and the young husband
became cool toward the close of the de-
bate, Rogers apologizing for some harsh
things he said. Mrs Lewis then said that
while she tn ought her son-in-law a we'll
meaning boy, there was no use Of talking
further about the case. Nettie regretted
marrying him and would not see him again.
Mrs. Lewis hoped he would get over it.
Rogers, however, does not intend to get
over it. He will keep searching for his wife
in the belief that she has been forcbly
taken from him, and that if he can but
see her all will be right. To this end he
has hired detectives to aid him. Rogers
suspects, too, that Annette is concealed
in Pasadena.
