TALBOT ANSWERS
WIFE'S COMPLAINT
Document in Famous Suit
Was Filed Yes
terday.

The long awaited reply of William H.
Talbot to the suit for separate mainten-
ance instituted by his wife. Annie d. Tai
bot, was filed yesterday morning and sets
forth general denial of the cruelty al
legged by the wife, but makes no plea for
a divorce. The only charges made in the
answer are the alleged peculiar actions
of Mrs Talbot, owing to insane jealousy
and threats against the life of the de-
fendant. From the document 1t also ap-
pears that the defendant prevented the
plaintiff from committing suicide and also
murder by wrestling a pistol from her
grasp.
The complaint of Mrs. Talbot filed on
June 30 alleged that acts of cruelty
toward herself, extending over period of
five years, warranted her in asking for
separation and the custody of their three
children, Vera. William c. and Eric Tall
bot. Since the filing of the complaint a
long silence on the part of Talbot in
tervened until the extended reply of yes
terday was flied.
Page upon page of closely typewriter
matter denies each act of cruelty alleged
in the complaint and tells of the efforts
of the rich lumberman to preserve the
home and family. In all, however, is no
instance of intidelity on the part Of the
wife, although she is alleged to have been
so jealous as to create scenes in public
that were notifying to the defendant.
One aragraph of the answer alleges
that the defendant admitted to his wife
that he treated her unklndly and gave her
grievous mental suffering, but alleges that
this was told her in order to pacify her
and also under threats of personal vio-
lence. He denies that he ever accused
her of being an opium fiend and alleges
that she frequently showed a desire to
expose herself to the inclemency of the
weather in order, as he supposes, to spite
him.

Curiosities About Fish Scales.

The thin, silvery coating Of fish
scales derives its luster from many

case Of European species of carp
known as the bleak" the crystals are
so numerous that metallic pigment.

made from them. The large Globular

this is seen in the common smelt.
