COFFEY AND HIS WIFE
TELL DIFFERENT STORIES
She Testifles to His Cruelty, and He
Declares She Is Extravagant and
PrOfane.

IfOIduc.
Regardless of the traditions of ST
Valentines day as to the supposed
happiness of mates, Freda Coffey and
her husband, Edward Coffey, the lat
ter a well-to-do building contractor
told yesterday in Judge Troutt's court
many unlovely incidents of their mar
ried life.
The wife seeks a divorce on the
ground of cruelty. She said that her
SPOUSE has very, very. very vile
temper" that he called her unmen-
tionable words, which she mentioned
glfbly, and that on one occasion he
grabbed his 4-year-old son (by for
mer marriage) by the heels and
threatened to dash out his brains.
When this was prevented by Mrs. >Cof-
fey and her mother, Mrs. Olson, Coffey
said he would cut the boys throat.
Mrs. Olson, a member of the Saliva
ton Army, corroborated her daugh-
ter's evidence.
When Coffey took the stand, he told
another story of their home life. He
said his wife was extravagant, staid
away from home, would not cook his
meals and swore at him. Evidence as
to his own Christian spirit and de-
votion to hard work and of his do
mesticity was given by several of his
friends. The trial has not been fin
1shed.
Divorce was granted yesterday by
Judge Sloss to Anna Hennessy from
William Hennessy for neglect, and by
Judge Murasky to Maggie Gunther
from William c. Gunther for deser-
ton.
Suit for divorce was begun by
Charles o. Perdue against Clarisa NJ.
Perdue, desertion; Lulu Campbell
against Charles Campbell, desertion;
William S. Wallace against Carolina
p. Wallace, desertion.

Whein the bookmakers chalked up

the F>uturity course handicap at Oak
land yesterday the figures read like a
comic valentine. Even though asked TO
carry 124 pounds. "Packey" Ryan's
crack mare had nothing TO beat.
To be sure, Misty's Pride is a clever
piece Of racing material, but she had a
hard race the preceding day. Lindsay

PROFITABLE DAY FOR BOOKIES.
To the handicap winner belongs the
honor Of saving the 1avorites from a
general massacre, as five other choices
were tucked snugly away In their lit
tie trundle beds. The ring must have
had a profitable day.
There were fourteen starters in the
maiden 2-year-old scramble and the
winner turned up in Bellona, daugh-
ter Of Beau Ormonde. The FLY was Z
and TO 1 in the ring and, ridden by
Travers, lasted long enough to beat the
favorite, George A. Knight, a head.
Charley Patterson's Isabeau finished
third.
Bob Ragcn. the 7-to-Io favorite for
the six-and-a a-half-furlong run for
S-year-olds. was so stiff and sore that
he should have been in a sanitarium
instead Of out racing. Possibly to this
fact can be attributed the rush to get
aboard DR.. Rowel's Mistress of Rolls,
played from l5 down to 6. Everything
fell into line but Saccharate, the Napa
Stock Farm entry. Not conceded a
chance and drifting back to IL to 1,
Big Bill Knapp took the chestnut
FLY out in the lead and in a drive she
oowned Mistress Of Rolls a length. The,
favorite ran third.
Bob Smiths Silent Water, an IL to
choice for the five and half fur
long dash, also decided under selling
conditions, finished second to Sir Pres

disposed Of by the second choice. also

JERE DUNN'S COLORS IN FRONT.
Dropping from the clouds, it almost
seemed, Jere Dunn's Sunny Shore took
the mile and & furlong selling fixture,

Halrna gelding is very slow beginner
and during the earlier stages OF the

Wright. who had the leg UP, stuck to
the rail though and turning into the

there home there was nothing to it,
the Dunn entry wading past the leaders

third.
Another fancy priced one came down
the line first in the concluding mile and

Special Gable to The Herald.
ST. PETERSBURG June 22.-It is
known that the czar and mis- encourage,
who are now at the summer palace at
Peterhof, are greatly alarmed at the
situation in Manchuria and at home,
and this knowledge has plunged the
country again in gloom. 1t is believed
that Linevitch is almost surrounded
and that his retreat is threatened. Oy-
ama's right wing is now resting on the
Mandarin road, is nearing Ninguta
and will soon cut off Vladivostok.
Gen. Linevitchs record increases the
perplexity of the people here. They re-
member that he has in the past re-
ported imaginary battles, and that on
one occasion he recorded loss of 500
men out of a company containing only
200. His recent boast that If he had
that the Japanese were exhausted and
retreating and his ridicule of Oyama's S
strategy, all make the nation fear that
he is about to lead the army into
dreadful disaster Today he admits
that the Japanese have advanced north
of Itun.
Japan's refusal to consent to an arm
istice and Admiral Urius cruise to the
Yang Use, disprove the contention of
M. Sauvorine, editor of the Novoe
Vremya, that Japan would be unable
to force Russia to yield. The czar now
realizes that as Oyama is in position
to take Vladivostok and Harbin, and
Togo is prepared to sail to the Baltic,
and that President Roosevelt alone
can induce the Japanese to moderate
their demands.
