SAYS FATHER DRANK
GALLON OF WINE A DAY
Daughter of Woman Seeking Divorce
Tells of Parents Appetite

W. .'fNSa
For the second time in her matrimo-
nial career Mrs. Helena Knollmiller
yesterday in Judge Conrey's court was
released from the copartnership of
love existing between her and her hus-
band, Frank Knollmiller.
The plaintiff received her first inter-
locutory decree about three years ago.
but soon after repented and married
her former husband.
Mrs. Knollmiller says she urged her
husband to provide her with Is cents
with which to purchase gasoline, and to
express his disapproval of his wife's
request he struck her in the eye.
Knollmiller was partial to dumplings
as diet-apple or otherwise may never
be known-but when the dish did not
appear, his wife asserts, he proceeded
to hurl the dishes against the wall.
According to the story told by the
plaintiff her husbands great failing
was liquor.
zone gallon of wine, one bottle of
whisky and one bottle of port wine per
day. was his daily allowance. accord
ing to the testimony of his pretty
daughter, Maria.
That he would blow her head off,
according to the witness story, is only
one of his milder threats.
Judge Conrey held that Knollmiller
had fallen from the water wagon, and
the decree was promptly granted
which also gave the plaintiff the pos
session of the property and the custody
of the minor children.

DEFENSE HAS INNINGS IN
BIGAMY CASE
Accused Tells of a Collision With a
Locomotive in Which He Was
Severely njured-Consid-
ers Himself Crazy.

In the trial of William A. Ingram,
charged with bigamy, but who insists
that he only married a woman, the
defense yesterday had it's innings, and
a strong effort was made by Migrants
attorney to prove to the satisfaction
of the jury that his client was of un-
sound mind, and consequently should
be held blameless for his twofold mat
rimonial adventure.
At the outset of yesterdays pro-
ceedings Attorney Yager attempted to
prove that Charles o. Goodwin had
threatened to put his uncle behind the
bars for his experience with one too
many wives, but in this he failed.
Mrs. Katherine Goodwin-Ingram, who
figures as "wife No. g." was recalled
to the stand and was put through Ii
The attorney made an effort to locate
the turn of the road at which Mrs.
Goodwin-Ingram's love for her spouse
vanished, but in this he failed.
II want to see him put where he
belongs" was all that Mrs. Goodwin
Ingram would say.
Attorney L. p. Dyer, in reply to a
question, declared that the defendant s
mind was unbalanced.
"He was desperate and wanted me
to collect some money for him from
is first wife. l considered him insane

the witness.
quick succession a score or more
of witnesses from the village of Eagle
Rock testified that Ingram's conduct
was most peculiar.
The defendant himself next took the
stand and told the jury his mind wan
dered at times from ordinary channels
He told of his collision with a loco
motive as far back as 1889. He declared
that he inadvertently eollided with a
locomotive, whereby he was tossed high
into the air.

Chamberlain's Cough Remedy the Best
Made.

'In my opinion Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy is the best made for colds, -
says Mrs. Cora Walker, of Portervllle,
California. There is no doubt about it's
being the best. No other will cure a
cold SO quickly. No other is so sure a
preventive OF pneumonia. No other is
so pleasant and safe to take. These
are good reasons why II should be pre-
ferred to any other. The fact Is that
few people are satisfied with any other
after having once used this remedy.
