WIFE'S STORY
IS EXCITING
Mrs. Waterman Cites Exam
pies Of the Less Violent
Acts Of Cruel Husband

Josephine Ellen Waterman, in a suit
for divorce begun yesterday against
Frederick James Waterman, charges
desertion, neglect and cruelty as
grounds for the legal termination of
sixteen years of unhappy married life.
If any forms of husbandly mistreat-
ment are missing from the complaint
it is because Waterman's invention
failed or his wife's memory is at fault
They were married at Vancouver,
Wash, in 1888, and from that time,
the plaintiff says, his misconduct was
too outrageous to admit of publica
ton, but some idea may be gathered
among the less violent of his language
and acts
Then the complaint proceeds with
the recital of his misdeeds. Water
man was English bred and nagged his
wife for being an American and
therefore ill bred" She says that he
spat upon her clothes and face; as
saulted her with his fists, cane and
other articles; threw her down and
jSmmed her against the walls. He
would, she says. smash the dishes and
overturn cooking utensils, spilling the
hot contents over her He was ad-
dicted to drinking, gambling and play
ing the races and lin a lordly and
reckless way" wasted a fortune re-
ceived by will from relatives in Eng
land. He would spitefuly throw small
change at her while throwing away
hundreds at night.
Judge Hebbard granted a divorce to
Maud Ramsey from Frank T. Ram
sey on the ground of cruelty. Di-
vorces were granted by Judge Kerri-
gan to Lydia Swanson from Olof
Swanson for neglect, TO Lester Burge
from Anna NJ. Burge for desertion. TO

brock for cruelty; by Judge Trout to

JEALOUS MAN
SHOOTS WIFE
Michael Mccarthy Attempts
to Kill Woman He Accuses
Of Being Unfaithful to Him
WOUND IS DANGEROUS
In an Ante-MOrtem State
ment Jealousy Is Given
as Cause of the Crime

Maddened with rage after a night
of quarreling, Michael Mccarthy shot
and probably fatally injured his wife.
Octavia, in a room at 1924 Market
street shortly after IL o'clock yester-
day morning. The wife lies lowering
between life and death at the Emer-
gency Hospital. while the brute who
shot her is held at the City Prison
awaiting the result of her injuries.
Jealousy which the woman's rela-
tives claim was unfounded and which
the husband says was justifiable, is
given as the motive for the crime.
A little less than a year ago Mich
ael Mccarthy and Octavia Leathe,
handsome young woman about 20
years of age, were married. Violent
quarrels were frequent. Miss Oveta
Leathe, sister of the wounded woman,
says that a few days ago Mccarthy
choked his wife until her eyes
popped out of her head" Yesterday
morning in the presence of Miss
Leathe Mccarthy pulled a revolver
and shot his wife. The bullet entered
her left side between the seventh and
eighth ribs and ranged upward, lodg-
ing under the right shoulder blade.
The indications are that the bullet
pierced both lungs.
To Assistant District Attorney Fer
rari the woman made the following
ante-mortem statement:
My name is Octavia Mccarthy. live at 1924
Market street have no occupation 1 firmly
believe that am now about TO die. My hus-
band shot me this morning. He shot once.
He did it for Jealousy. The shooting took
present at the time Just before the
shooting my husband said he going to
shoot me and my sister told him not to do 1t.
He waited until my back was turned and he
shot me. OCTAVIA MCCARTHY.

Central.

In Fallen by the Wayside." Theo-
dore Kremer's latest melodrama, the
Central Theater stock company gave
one of its strongest performances last
night. The piece conveys the same
lessons as Ten Nights in a Barroom"
and the strong scenes reused tremen-
dous applause. The thrilling incident
which captured the. house in the third
act and elected five enthusiastic cur
tain calls was the rescue of a little
child from threatened death in the
upper story of a tenement-house by
aid of a swinging derrick.
