POLICE DISBELIEVE HER
Despite Patients Denials,
Facts Point to Theory OF.
an Attempt at Suicide
POLICE DISBELIEVE HER

Mrs Alto Grain, a young married wom-
an, sent. bullet through her breast
carly yesterday evening at her home. 625

maintains it was an accident the police
say it was an attempt to commit suicide.
The bullet penetrated the lower part of

the skin, of her back by DR.. Hill at the
Central Emergency Hospital. Her chances
of recovery are slight.
The shooting occurred in the bathroom

were in the house. at the time OF the
shooting, but they did not witness the
act. They were startled by the sudden
report OF a revolver. Mrs. Grain emerged
from the bathroom and fell into her hus-
bands arms.
Grain cannot account for the rash act
of his wife. He asserts that she has been
i'll and morose at times, but she never
threatened to kill herself. She has d six
year-old daughter by former husband
During the afternoon the wounded wom-
an and Mrs. +. Allen were discussing
what they would do if burglar should

PAUSON SUES
FOR DIVORCE
President of Big Clothing
Firm Accuses Wife of
Breaking Marriage Vows
ATTEMPT AT SECRECY
Attorney and Judge Engage
in an Effort to Carry
Out Plaintiffs Wishes

The romance that marked the brilliant
wedding in New York Of -Samuer B.
PaUson to one Of Gotham most .beauti-
fui young women, then Miss Emma
Strauss, is at.an end Pauson, who is
president of the big clothing establish
Hlent at the corner of Kearny and Suffer
streets, has sought the divorce court as
q means Of .severing the tie that binds
him TO his wife. Some time ago they
ceased TO dwell together after. a bitter
quarrel following his alleged discovery
.that-she had been unfaIthful TO her mar
rage VOWS.
. Then the lights that, used to burn
; brightly in their apartments in the Hotel
Granada. in welcome to the guests that
made merry with them, grew dim and
the Pauson household was divided. Men
came, says Pauson. who lured his pretty
wife from the path OF right and destroy
ed his home and his happiness forever.
Though anxious that his marital bonds
should be legally severed. Pauson was
particularly anxious that no rumor OF
the course he had taken should reach
the public, particularly the large circle of
friends that were his and his wife's.
Early yesterday morning his attorney,
Walter II. Linforth; sought Judge Trout
and informed him that he had a divorce
complaint. he wished TO lIle but was par
y
from the public. The parties were promi-
rent. said Linforth. and should the com
plaint remain open for inspection the
public would be supplied with a racy
scandal
Judge Trout was agreeable to the plan
70 withhold the document and made an
order scaling the papers and directing
that no man. no matter who he be, be
given the right TO see them. But
there is no law that would permit Judge
Trout TO withhold the names of the
litigants from the public records: they
were ordered written into the records as
the law requires. Then the story was
out.
Inquiry. at the Granada disclosed the
fact that Mrs. Pauson, anticipating the
move her husband was about No make.
had. packed her elaborate gowns and
sought obscurity. And MF Pauson had
absolutely nothing to say. His charges
are written in the complaint and the CO
responGents-the young sons Of several
prominent families-are named. Mr.
Pauson viii let his case stand as It
IS. He will try the case in court and
there he will give his testimony.
DEGREES Of divorce were granted yester
Gay 10 Marion May from Henry G.
Wright for willful neglect, and 20 Sarah

hcf AUL LOSES
WIFE AND COIN
Rancher Of Gualala Secures
Helpneet, Who Decamps
on Getting $500 From Him

The City Hall habitues are all laugh
B. McFauI, chicken rancher of Qua
lala, Mendocino County, was inveigled
into a marriage with Olivia Harte, who,
after securing $500 from him, deserted
him and fled the city.
It seems that McFaul was perfectly
willing to be inveigled and was aided in
the affair by two men well-known around
the City Hall who entered. into it simply
for a lark but received a substantial
present of 500 from McFaul for their
successful efforts in prevailing on Miss
Harte to take. McFaul for better or
worse.
McFaul wandered into the Hail of Rec
ords one day and said he wanted to be
directed to the marriage bureau. 1t was
explained that there was marriage IL
cense office in another part of the build
ing, but McFaul then said that he. did not
want license as he had not selected a
life partner as. yet.
What | want" said the Mendocino
man, lis the place where the girl is sup
piled just as the advertisements say in
the papers. / am willing to pay $500 for
the right sort of 4 girl"
McFaul was shown the ladies employed
by the searchers of records, and after
Il
almost any one of them would do. In
the meantime another of the Recorder 8
Office force was apprised of McFaul' s
desires. He told the chicken grower that
If he would wait a day or two the very
girl he wanted would be Forthcoming.
McFaul waited and he appeared SO will
ing and easy that the deputies did intro
duce him to Miss Harte. The marriage
license was duly issued to the impatient
McFaul on Monday of last week by
Cupid Danforth, Miss Harte giving her
residence as G1 Noe street The knot was
tied by a Justice of the Peace and Nc
Faul was so pleased with his catch that
he insisted that the two deputies, who
were present at the ceremony, should ac-
cept 800 for their trouble
Afterward in the exuberance of his
newly found happiness McFaul handed
$500 to his wife, but after two days of
marital bliss she disappeared. McFaul
waited "a few days and left yesterday for
his chicken ranch in Gudlala, sadder
but a wiser man.
