SCORED BY THE COURT
Laura Woods Sent by Her Husband "a
Earn Money in House Of Ill Fame

Earn Money in House of Ill Fame
Driven to life of shame by her husband,
c. E. Woods, tailor In the employ of
Gordan, Laura Woods yesterday asked
Judge Allen to free her from her brute OF a
husband.
Mrs. Woods is pretty little woman of
the shrinking type Of feminine beauty, Just
such woman that one would expect an
unfeeling man to bulldoze into obeying his
slightest wish with quiet submission and
without protest On the stand yesterday
she told pathetic sorry of her early love
and late d.sappointments. She said she
married Woods in May. 1896. at San Jose.
She had not known him long, but during
their short acquaintance he won her trust
and love by his ardent and persistent devo-
ton.
Three months Of a domestic peace fol-
lowed. when one night. in a Mt Of anger.
Woods struck her. From that time things
went from bad to worse. The CRISIS was
reached on March q. 1897, when the de-
PENDANT told his wife that he would desert
and abandon her II she did not earn some
money toward their support. As starter
he suggested that she get out and rustic.
She asked him to explain, and he did so by
saying that she could go into a house of
prostitution. At first she refused, but
finally submitted, after many beatings,
and rented crib on Bauer alley.
After questioning Mrs Woods on the
point Of whether or not her husband had
forced her to enter the evil resort or
whether she had gone there of her own
volition, the court said:
Ordinarily I would not grant a decree
81 divorce in case of this kind, because
[ do not think parties coming from a house
Of ill-fame should ask to be free. In this
case. however, think the facts show that
this woman was forced there against her
Will and that she is entitled to a decree.
AS to the man who lived of the money
earned by his wife in that way, unfor-
tunately the law cannot reach him. I
would advise that this woman leave the
miserable wretch she married and 60 to her
family and try to live clean lfe."

A Blaze.

What might have been serious
fire occurred ait the home of Mr.. P. B.
Coss, on Second street, early Thursday
morning.
The heater used in the parlor is
connected by hose to the plumbing
and the supposition is that the hose
leaked, as 1t was an old one. The fire
was turned low and 1T seems that it
ignited in the mixer and from there to
a leak in the hose.
Mrs. Coss was awakened by smoke
in the bedroom and Mr.. Coss imme-
diately went to the parlor to see what
was wrong and he found a lot of in
flamable stuff near the heater in a
blaze and seizing rug he proceeded
to smother the flames. In doing so,
he received badly burned hand
which will give him some trouble for
few days.
The damage done to furniture and
hangings is not very great.

To Be Put Into Operation.

1t is understood that the old brew
cry property will probably pass into
the hands of GAINESVILLE people, and in
case it does 1T will be remodeled, en-
larged and improved and put into op-
Grafton. In case the deal is closed,
which in all probability will be the
case today, it will give large number
of laborers work and be the means of
distributing large amount of cash
where the benefit will be especially
realized.
