Was Quite a Dude in Oakland, but
Two Years Ago Could Not
Purchase a Marriage

eos Broadway, Sept. TO-
A former wife of DR.. A. Ross, who now
lives on Powell street, San Francisco, was
somewhat surprised to learn that the doc
tor had recently been in Oakland, from
which city he disappeared forgetting to
setde up with his landlady and others.
DR.. Ross is evidently a man OF great
resources in the matter of being able to
tax the resources of others.
II met DR.. Ross says his second wife,
from whom he was divorced some time
ago, lat doctors office in Seattle. He
had not long been divorced from his first
wife. He was rather a seedy looking fell
low, poorly dressed and wore old shoes.
I do not know why 1 was attracted 10
him, but he had a very pleasant, plausible
manner and was very gentlemanly. When
We were married he had not cent. and
1 bought the wedding ring, and the tailor
in Tacoma is still mourning that he made
the wedding suit. This was in August,
1896. We lived together for five months,
but when we came to San Francisco he
bought out drug store on Powell and
y Farrell streets, but settlement has not
yet been made. He bought his diploma
in Philadelphia for SIS, with money that
I gave him. On the day of our wedding
he could not even raise enough to buy
the license.
AT Paso Robes he had an experience
with DR.. Steiner, and understand that

Robes. He has had many experiences
around the bay. His scenes of difficulty
embrace the Winchester House on Third
street, the Yosemite House and the Bald
win Hotel, at which last place l paid the
board bill to save further trouble.
When I got my divorce l was awarded
$50 per month alimony, but l have not
yet had cent and did not know where
the doctor was until 1 read of his expert
ence in Oakland. The doctor Is a very
shrewd fellow and I am sorry that 1 ever
met him. I understand that while in
Oakland he was a perfect dude and cut
quite dash l can well imagine how
he did IL. My experience with him was
