Miss Beatrice Says Pioneer
Pulled His Wife's Nose
on Return From Church

The seamy side of life in the Yoell
home at San Jose was vividly portrayed
by two daughters of the dead Santa
Clara pioneer in Judge Kerrigan's court
yesterday. All the family skeletons
were dragged into the daylight.
Once he took mammals nose between
his fingers and twisted it." declared
Miss Beatrice Yoell, the youngest
daughter a Stanford University stu
dent Then 1 think he struck her."
He threw a pack of cards into moth
er's face and called her names that I
cannot repeat" said Mrs. Mary Gene
We've Parkhurst, another daughter by
the second wife. My mothers con-
duct was that of martyr toward her
torturer."
The witness related that she once
asked her father for So to buy theater
tickets. Though they were on a promi-
nent street corner in San Jose at the
time Yoell fell upon his knees, she said.
and lifting his hands to the heavens
cursed his daughter violently.
According to Mrs. Parkhurst, kneeling
was one of the favorite attitudes of her
departed parent. All the witnesses
called yesterday corroborated her tes-
timony that he was man who wept
copiously and often. His profanity, ac-
cording to hints dropped. was pecu-
liarly potent and original, and between
curses he wept and prayed.
The night after her mother separated
from him, Mrs. ParKnurst said, her
father quoted often from THE Prisoner
of Chillon'' and DE Profundis." On
that night also he uttered the almost
prophetic words, After me, the de-
luge."
At one time, Mrs. Parkhurst said,
Yoell had the hallucination that his
wife and children were trying to poison
him and insisted that some one should
taste the food before he ate 1t. One
mcrning he declared that Kim, the
Chinese cook, had told him that an at
tempt was being made to poison him.
When the Celestial was asked to veri-
fy this he said: You clazy."
Mrs. Annie McNellas, who was en-
ployed as seamstress at the Yoeil home,
declared that she once saw the pioneer
attempt to use a knife on willie"
Yoell. Though she often heard the
father use profane language, she said
that he once told her that he was lead
ing a very hol good life"
On cross by D. M. Del
mas Miss McNellas denied that she ever
held both of Yoells hands at the gar
den gate and offered him words of SYM
pathy when he left his home for the
last time.
All of the women witnesses said they
had seen Yoell when the mixed praying
and cursing spells came over him. All
had been accused of plotting and
scheming.
Michael Riegel, barber at Highland
Springs, declared that Yoell "cussed" a
waitress violently. Joseph Kubik Sr.
and Joseph Kubik Jr. gave accounts Of
Yoell's eccentricities at Paso Robles.
Attorneys Delmas and Hoefler had
tits both In the morning and afternoon
sessions, the latter asking for delay and
Delmas objecting firmly. The case will
be resumed at IL o'clock Monday.

comprehensive pamphlet, we'll IL
lusrated, was presented to the con-

booklet the information desired.
Members of the bar will have them
as a reference or directory of the in
stitutions. With it are forms of be-
quest and devise.
'4he proposition was unanimously
agreed to.

DIVORCE AND REMARRIAGE-

Our diocesan convention is the first to meet
under the important amendments made oy
our general constitutional and canon law,
Which in the main took effect the nrst day
this month
Important as are some of the other amend
ments like those looking to courts OF appeal,
and to a more inclusive Episcopal oversight,
its bearings is the new canon dealing with re-
marriage after divorce. and the questions OF
discipline involved.
1t but just in this connection
10 accord high honor to those on all sides OF
this question who in these recent years have
in joint commissions and in laborious research
and with pen and voice done much to
gence Of the church. not to say public senti
ment itself, in this matter. and a chief, yes.
perhaps the chief figure, among them all is
the bishop, If we might euphoniZe the
"Dux," 1t fondly. If accidentally ex
pressed in the last Lambeth Conference.-The
Duke OF Albany. This position was stalwart,
fearless, ringing with a leadership to place
marriage on the highest possible plane.
Personally. could have wished that he could
have carried with him both houses of con-
vention he did at first the house of bishops,
and that for the present, at any rate our
canon law might have barred our church from
remarriage after divoce when there is a hus-
band wife still living whatever might have
been the ground of the decree of divorce.
Few can be more conscious than I OF the
hardships to say distresses which come up
with sympathy for individual cases. But the
safety of the family. like the safety of the
church or state, sometimes becomes the
preme law, and in the harm threatened the
family as institution by the frequency and
