SECOND READY FOR TRIAL
ANSWER WAS NOT MADE, SO
DEFAULT WAS ENTERED.

The default has been entered in the ac-
uon or Mrs. Amanda j. Fennell for a di-
Vorce from her husband, Gerald NJ Fen
nell. To-day a commissioner will be ap-
pointed to examine the witnesses in the
case ana few brief weeks will see petite
out fascinating Mrs. Fiske- Marceau- Fen
nell free to bare her heart again to Gu
pid's shafts. When the final decree of
court is entered Mrs. Fennell will have
cast OF the bonds that have long held
her to man she never loved although
she cast aside happiness to become his
wife 1t was her self will that led her to
TINS obnoxious union, but few brief
weeks of discomfort cleared her mind
ana then her efforts to undo what she
had done are worthy of description from
the pen OF De Rostand for the dramatic
and Twain for the humorous.
1t was not so long ago when the couple
entered little church in New York City
and were welded. Then they came to
the West and a month after the cere-
mony found them in San Francisco To-
Gated in the Palace Hotel One evening
Fennell returned to his rooms and silence
greeted him. His wife had flown where
he did not know. While a multitude
and the anxious husband searched
through the night the little wife was en-
Joying herself, slipping her black coffee
and musing all alone in superb suite of
rooms in the second floor of the Cliff
House. Fennell finally located her and
from out of the night were heard the
sounds of horses feet and a rumbling
cab hurrying toward the beach. Fenneil
arrived at the Cliff House, but his stem
torian inquiries as to his Wifes where
abouts reached her ears, and gathering
up her effects. she fled from side door.
She found carriage, and when her hus-
occupied and found that she had gone
he was overcome. Down the park road
sped Mrs. Fennells carriage, and in an
hour she was again in her rooms in the
band. At the gray of morn Fennell re-
turned. He asked for admittance, but it
was denied him. Then he pleaded with
fearful voice and was admitted.
Not many days later Fennell contem-
plated a trip to the southern part of the
State. He wanted to make money in the
his wife to accompany. him. If you will
take your harp and diamonds he said,
you can entertain those seeking insur-
ance on uncertain life and fire, and while
was declined by Mrs. Fennell, and the
reason, she afterward explained, was that
she was fearful that the business ven
ture would prove failure and necessitate
her soaking her entertaining harp and
dazzling diamonds to sustain them on
their journey home.
So the dream of FennelI was shattered,
as were his nerves when short time
later Mrs. Fennell again disappeared and
summons IN divorce suit told MIN that
she was in Fresno and had sought the
protection of the kindly court. Fennell
hurried thither and tried to stop proceed
ings He did not succeed. The couple
occupied separate rooms in the Hotel
Hughes, and one moonlight night the
golden beams fell on the manly form of
Fennell, clad in pajamas, coming over the
window sill of his wife's room. She
awakened with a start and with threat
ening whispers ordered her spouse from
her presence. Climb out of the win
dow she said; get out the way you
came in. Fennell pleaded. He wanted
to go, If he must, out through the door;
it went against his dignity to elm
around in the moonlight in his pajamas,
but as he arrived thusly, thusly must ne
go. So he went.
Afterward they were seen driving to-
gether, and when the case was called for
hearing decree was denied Mrs. Fennell
on the ground of collision. She was not
disconnected, however, and the end or
few months saw Fennell desert the city
and his wife. He went to London, but Is
now in Butte City, Montana, it is said.
He has made no answer to his wife's COM
plant, so she will get her decree. In the
meantime Mrs Fennell sits in her Fresno
home and laughs merrily when she thinks
of the Cliff House the moon and paJamas.
