CHURCH GIFT ATTACKED.
Mrs. Henry Cole Says Husbands For
tune Is Due to Her Work.

Denver, July 12-Fred T. Henry yes
terday filed in the District Court for
Mrs. Henry Cole a complaint setting
forth that Coles recent gift Of S4OO,-
900, principally in Denver real estate,
to the Methodist Church through the
Peniel Trust Association, was for the
purpose of defrauding the wife of her
rights, and asking for half of the prop
erty. The complaint goes thoroughly
over the history of the accumulation of
the property as well as the charges
against Mr.. Cole. 1t recites the fol-
lowing:
Mrs. Cole was married to the defend
ant December 2S, 1871. when the de-
fendant was car builder for the Den
yer & Rio Grande, and had no proper
ty except his personal effects. During
the ensuing ten years, Mrs. Cole says.
while her husband worked at his
trade, she kept boarding house, doing
her own cooking and investing her saw
ings in the time checks of employees of
the company, buying them at dis
count. She used her profits in buying
small parcels of Denver real estate. BY
1881, she says, there was so much of
this property that her hsuband was
enabled to leave his position and go
into the real estate business, with her
property as his stock In trade. At his
request she put all her property into
his name; she says he then, selling
hers, bought other property, always in
his own name. This state of affairs
went on until last January, so far as
business was concerned. But the COM
plant goes on to say that during the
last ten years Cole has shown her only
disrespect and neglect: that he has
treated her as servant. refusing to
allow her to hire any one to help her
with the housework.
During the past two years, she adds,
he has not given her any money for
her personal use or to buy articles
needed in the house, excepting SO in
1901. He also made a row about pay
ing her bills for clothing, etc, and on
March LIST of this year, quarreled with
her without cause, telling her to go
where she pleased and with whom she
pleased. and that he would do the
same She consented to this arrange
ment, provided that he would divide
their property equally between them.
This Mr.. Cole angrily refused to do, ac-
cording to the complaint, and further
declared that she should have moth
ing, as he intended 10 dispose of the
entire property in such way that she
would not be able to touch it. Then,
the complaint AYERS, in order to carry
out his threat, and in the guise of a
religious and philanthropic gift, Mr..
Cole. with fraudulent intent to deprive
his wife of her rights. assigned the
entire estate TO the Peniel trust.
