ALIMONY TO WIFE
Continued from page onel


vance. This was cash ex-Judge Hum
phreys, whom she had consulted, had
agreed to furnish. Thought she was
utterly destitute, Mrs. Dole said it was
costing her over $3.50 a month to live.
She lived at the Moana and it cost her
$50 a month for actual living expenses,
$40 month for hacks, a similar amount
for washing and about SIS month for
car fare.
Don't you think these items are
rather large for a woman in utterly
destitute circumstances" asked Stan
ley on REORGANIZATION.
Since l am the wife of the attorney
general l think it in keeping with my
position that l should ride in hacks
when l make a call, and live as l do,
said Mrs. Dole sharply.
do you stay in town at nights??'
asked Judge Stanley.
The answer was in the negative and
after a short wrangle about the number
of car fares that made up Mrs. Dole's
fifty cents day, the attorney gave up
this line of questioning.
The witness testified that her bills
from the Moana hotel were presented
to the firm of Humphreys. Thompson
and Watson. With the exception of SO
given to her by that firm, she had had
absolutely not cent since her husband
had refused to support her. When
she had lived with Governor and Mrs.
Dole they had not given her any money.
Stanley brought out the fact that
she had been a teacher for many years
in San Francisco, and was going into
the question of her ability to support
herself when Humphreys offered to
admit that she could make 500 a month
herself if she had to.
"Of course | could make that" Mrs.
Dole exclaimed, but it was with an air
that indicated that it would be a degra-
datiOn to which the wife of the attorney
general should not stoop.
AfTidavits by S. w. Willis and +. w.
Smith of the Hawaiian hotel and annex
were offered. showing Mrs. Dole's eff
forts to get board and lodging there,
and her offers of cash. This was to
disprove her assertion that she was
utterly destitute but it appeared that
the cash was from her attorney
Judge Gear asked a few questions
about Doles heavy gifts of his prop
erty. During this examination Mrs
Dole was heard to remark that he was
"a perfect Santa Claus" Gear wanted
to know if the money had been given
away to avoid providing for Mrs. Dole.
81 did what had a right to do with my
own and what I believed to be proper"
was the reply
Judge Stanley contended in 4 brief
argument that if the libellant could
support herself she should do so, while
Humphreys held such a doctrine would
defeat the purposes of the law COM
pelling husbands to support their wives.
Judge Gear announced that he would
make an order requiring payment of
$3.50 a month. IF you are giving away
5000 a month" he remarked by tn way
ut will be just as well to give $3.50 of it
to your wife" The court enquired as
to the date for the payments.
1T is evident from this deed, said
Humphreys, showing the gife deed,
that Mr.. Dole can get VIII I he wants
from Mr.. Chase, ard the orde' might
as well be made without delav.'
The order was at first made for the
payment Of $3.50 counsel fees ana $50
alimony, for the PAST month, today,
$3.50 in the next 10 days ard $50 a
month thereafter, but the two days
time We're finally allowed the l!bellee
Appeal will be taken.
