George E. White. the Round Valley cap
italist, who has figured prominently in
several sensational incidents in Mendocino

usual business pending a settlement OF
the case. Shortly afterward White decided
some real estate to John H. Wise, and
Mrs. frankie White brought suit to re-
cover it.
The lower court rendered judgment in
her favor, but the Supreme Court held
that as the capitalist had decided the
property to Wise in payment for a debt,
it was in the line of regular business and

as the wheels turned into the roadway
threw her off the car. She fell in heap
in the street. The carmen, as soon as the

Pritchard's assistance and carried her
into nearby residence, where she re-

SAYS HIS WIFE
TAPPED THE TILL
L. j. Westlake Makes
Objection to Paying
Alimony.
She Admits Taking Money,

Leonard J. Westlake, who keens a
drugstore at EmeryviIe. saws his wife
tapped the till in his place of business.
He says she tapped it so often that she
has now quite a comfortable bank ac-
That is why he objects to paving
her alimony, which she claims she is en-
titled TO.
Westlake made the tiIl-tapping charge
IN an affidavit fled to-day in reply to
Marguerite Westlakes plea for a stipend.
pending the outcome of her suit for di-
vOrce on the ground of cruelty. The
plaintiff asserts that her husband treated
her SO inhumanely that she was forced to
leave him and fly to her brother in San
Francisco.
When the motion for alimony was
called in Judge Greene's court defend
ants counsel presented affidavits In his
behalf 1t was contended that the court
had not jurisdiction in the matter be-
cause his wife IS now a resident in San
Francisco. He said she had willfuIly
abandoned her home in Oakland and
packed her trunk with things that did not
belong to her, some of which he COM
PEELED her TO disgorge under penalty of a
forced sojourn until they were relin-
Quished.
Then Westlake asserts that he had a
little drugstore at San Pablo and Park
avenues, in the rear Of which he lived
with his wife. There is a patent till in
that store under one of the counters and
this till, Westlake asserts, was frequently
tapped by Mrs. WeStlake, she being in
possession Of the combination. She, II is
vehemently charged in the affidavit, told
her husband when he demonstrated about
these borrowings that they were sums
Intended for loan to her brother. The
ytidavit maker says, however, that he
docs not believe that these amounts were
given to her brother, but were appropri-
ated by the plaintiff
In support of Westlake's assertions that
his wife had a bank account of her own,
an affidavit, signed by Mrs. Benjamin
Westlake, the defendants sister-in-law,
was presented, in which she says that the
plaintiff had given her to understand that
She had distracted from 500 to $500 from
her husbands store and that she was
going TO keep up the good work until she
had $500 to her credit in the bank.
Upon being called to the stand Mrs.
Westlake admitted that she had taken
from $50 to $500 from the money drawer,
but said that this and S400 more had been
used to pay a certain debt Of her hus-
bands. She also admitted accepting $500
from her husband as a balm for her in
1ured feelings after he had once slapped
her but asserted that he had borrowed
1t all back from her.
Judge Greene continued the case a
week, after the wife's attorneys had
pleaded for further time in which to make
uD some afidavits in their clients behalf
