FOR DESERT|ON
COURT GRANTS DECREE TO
MRS. A. C. PERR0TT
TestIfies That Husband Declared He
Would Not Return to His Home
and Has Threatened to
Kill Her

Aged and infirm and barely able to
walk, Mrs. A. E. Tracy, mother of Mrs.
A. C. Perrott, appeared in Judge York's S
department of the superior court yes
terday to testify in behalf of her daugh-
ter, who had brought suit for divorce
against her husband, e. G. Perrott.
AS Mrs. Tracy could not ascend the
steps to the witness stand chair was
placed for her on the floor of the court
room and Attorney Hardesty leaned
over her while she whispered out her
evidence. The sentences then were re-
peated to the court.
Mr.. and Mrs. Perrott were married
at Perry, Iowa, October g. 1895. The
domestic troubles of the couple began
a short time afterward when Perrott
demanded that his wife leave the house
and turn the deed to the property over
to him.
He seemed very hard on my daugh-
ter wh7r = -''oHta3 her to leave" said
Mrs. Tracy yesterday. He told her
that she was not a good woman; that
he had been noticing her conduct with
the gardener and the minister and that
if she didn't leave at once and turn
the deed of the homestead over to him
he would cut her heart out. He told
her that If she didn't leave at once by
the doorway he would squeeze her out
through the window"
Mrs. Perrott testified at length in
her own behalf. Ever since our mar

MAJOR TWINE'S
LAST CHANCE
HIS NEXT SPREE WILL MEAN A
TERM IN JAIL
Judges Patience Taxed by Educated
Negro Whose Fondness for Drink
Lands Him in Court
Every Few Days

"Major" E. H. Twine. a negro, who
has seen service in the Philippines and
who at one time was employed in the
treasury department at Washington as
a page, was before Justice Austin yes
terday afternoon on charge of drunk
enness.
According to the officers Twine has
been in court at least once a week for
a number of months and he has sue
ceeded in getting off on each charge by
the payment of a small fine. Justice
Austin, however, intimated that the
man had about exhausted the patience
of the court, and he said:
"Twine, you have abused our patience
and always have made a scene when
brought into court. The next time
| shall impose long Jail sentence"
Twine had a good reputation while
in the United States army and was
wounded in battle. Since coming to
Los Angeles he has worked at odd jobs
and has interested a good many people
in his case, but he has fallen victim
to the drink habit and is said to be
but a semblance of his former self.
He pleads his case in court like a
lawyer, uses the choicest language and
always is smiling and courteous, but
the officers say that when he is drink
ing he is a hard man to manage.
Twine says that the policemen are
prejudiced against him and arrest him
on the slightest provocation. He stated
that he would take an appeal from the
IS fine to the superior court.

REFUSE TO SIGN THE PETITION
Property Owners East of Hill Street
Do Not Favor Reduction
of Grade

The hearing of the cutting down of
the hill on West Seventh street, be-
tween Bixel and Figueroa streets, will
be held before the board of public
works April 2, at o'clock. The ques-
tion involved will be the assessment
district.
Those chiefly interested in the reduc-
tion of this grade have found that in
order to get a majority of frontage
owners to favor the petition for the
work the assessment district will have
to be reduced.
This district now extends from Main
TO Hoover streets. This means that
property owners having a majority of
frontage in the district must sign the
petition for the improvement or it
cannot be commenced. Property own
ers east of Hill street and Broadway
believe they can manage to peg along
without the reduction of this grade
and have refused to sign the petition.

her promise and marry him if he
would consent.
Ballerino had made other arrange
ments, however. He denied that he
ever had promised to marry the girl
and filed a complete denial to all the
allegations.
Then Miss Uhalt became indignant.
Her face flushed until it was rosy red
and her tongue clattered out French at
such a rate that the interpreter had
a hard time of it trying to translate.
when | met him he wanted me to
be his housekeeper." said Miss Uhalt.
He had money and offered to pay me
we'll, and so l started to keep house for
him, but little did l know of his repu-
tation until it was too late. l had lived
at his house only a short time when
he proposed marriage to me. He said
that he was a wealthy man; that he
had about $500,000 unincumbered: that
he had been married before, but that
his wife had secured a divorce. He
further told me that under certain
conditions he would make a will in
my behalf and deed me his property.
BaIIerino Backs Out
"I consented to marry him, and so
we had it all arranged. He introduced
me to all his friends as his wife-to-be.
Finally 1 told him to fix the wedding
day, as | had acted as his housekeeper
without pay for about three years. He
showed me a will then, and said that
he had left me all that property, and
wouldn't it be all right if he didn't
marry me.
'I told him then that since I had
become his housekeeper 1 had learned
what kind of a man he was, and that
my reputation was gone forever. I
told him that l had lost the best years
of my life, and that [ could never
get married because no respectable
man would have me for a wife after
it had been learned that L had been
employed in the Ballerino household.
[ tried to secure employment but peo-
pie pointed the finger of scorn at me
and told me to go elsewhere. l had
been at the Ballerino house and that
acted as blast
"At last he told me that he had
wife and that he could not marry me;
consequently l brought suit against
him."
Ballerinos side of the case will be
heard today.

riage my husband has been cruel to
me-" she said. "Since we came to
Los Angeles he has acted very strange
ly. He was a carpenter and of course
would be absent from home at times,
but he seemed to take delight in leav-
ing the house and telling me that he
never would see me again. Once he did
leave and 1 did not know where he
went. He was gone so long that 1 be-
came alarmed and 1 asked the police
and the newspapers to assist me in
finding him.
"All efforts to locate him failed, but
finally he returned and told me that
he had been at Gardena all the time
and that he was much amused at my
efforts to find him. But he refused to
return to me then and compelled me
to get his clothes for him and then he
left for the second time, telling NE
that l thought more of my poodle dog

going to live with me again.

weeks later a nephew of mine arrived

that he would leave the house as soon
as he secured position.
my husband however, objected
strenuously and told me that the young
man was a nuisance and that he did
not intend that l should foist my rela-
tives off on him to take care of. He
said he was going to leave the house
and then 1 reminded him that if he
did so he could never return again. He
told me that he hoped 1 would get di-

Judge York granted the woman q

Former Governor Gage Makes Earnest
Plea for OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
Buck Is a Murderer at
Heart

Within the next twelve hours the
Jury in the case of Morris Buck.
charged with the murder of Mrs. Cloe
A. Garfield, will have received their
instructions and retired to their room
to decide the fate of a man alleged to
be insane.
Yesterday was given over entirely to
argument and today Capt. Fredericks,
the district attorney, will close the
case for the prosecution and Judge
Smith will read his instructions to the
jury.
Former Governor Henry T. Gage
opened the argument for the prosecu
ton yesterday morning. His address
was brief, simply covering the details
OF the murder and scouting the insan-
ity theory advanced by the defense.
Step by step Attorney Gage went
over the details of the crime, dwelling
OH each until he finished with an
earnest appeal to the jury for justice.
1T was murder" shouted Gage, 'it
was the murder of that sweet, loveable
woman, who had never been known
to show aught but kindness to all
mankind.
Had Murder In His Heart
"He went to that home with murder
in his heart, with the cold, passion
less idea of murder harbored by the
burglar who goes to steal, knowing
that if he be thwarted he will kill. 1t
was the murder of the nihilist. the
murder of the assassin, the murder OF
the backmailer. And Buck, knowing
he would kill, went to that home of
love and mercy. made his demand for
money and being refused shot Mrs.
Garfield down.
1T was murder, murder murder"
The voice of the attorney screamed
out the last word and a sob of SYM
pathy answered from the spectators.
over near the jury box, Charles o.
Garfield, son of the murdered woman,
leaned forward and his face was
drawn with pain as Gage spoke of his
mother. When the attorney had fin
ished Garfield sank back in his chair
with sigh of relief.
Contrary to expectations Attorney
Earl Rogers for the prosecution did not
make an argument. Attorney Rogers
took prominent part in the cross ex-
animation but the prosecution, feeling
that they had the case well in hand.
sought to make the argument as brief
as possible.
Warner Grows Eloquent
At o'clock yesterday afternoon At
tcrney Warner for the defense began
his argument. Warner is we'll known
for his emotional addresses and yes
terday afternoon his voice raised in
high minor key could be heard in all
parts of the court house.
Part of his address was directed
against Former Governor Gage and
Earl Rogers, and he beseeched the
jury not to let Cages political pres
tige or Rogers political influence have
anything to do with their decision.
Warner further begged the jury to
ignore all newspapers and not to con-
vict Buck because some of the papers
thought he ought to be convicted.
The attorney spent more than an
hour arguing on the subject of heredit-
ary diseases, and during that time
touched on the breeding of horses, the
grating of fruit and the prenatal eff
fects of spiders and beetles.
The argument was continued until
o'clock this morning, when Attorney
Warner will conclude his remarks.

JEANNE UHALT'S REASONS FOR
SUING CRIB KING
Says He Refused to Keep Promise to
Marry Her and She Now Wants
One Hundred Thousand for
Blasted Reputation

Alleging breach of promise, and de-
manding 100000 as compensation fol
the loss of her reputation Jeanne
Uhalt, young French woman, yes
terday appeared before Judge York
against Bartolo Ballerino, the eX-crib
king.
The court room was crowded, more
than a score of young women being
in attendance to listen to the evidence.
But scandal failed to have any effect
on the old crib king, and he marched
into the court room with his head held
high and his eyes casting glances OF
dsdain on the women around him.
Ballerino's appearance presented a
strange contrast to that of the young
woman who is suing him. He seemed
more swarthy and grizzled than ever
before His hair evidently had been
given a treatment of dye, for the color
had changed from dark chestnut into
strawberry red. and it stood out
from his head like a danger signal.
Although he is reputed to be worth
$500, 900, he wore a dark disappearing
suit, a soft flannel shirt of ancient
coloring, and a loose tie. During the
hearing of the trial he appeared to take
little interest in the proceedings and
spent most of the time trying to read

SUIT THAT WILL SHAKE CITY
Damage Case to be Filed whose Yer

Bond Issue.

According to the vociferous statements
of Fred Busch, proprietor Of a transfer
company at 1908 Farnam street, suit for
damages will soon be filed by him against
the city in an amount so large that an
issue Of bonds will have to be voted TO
cover the judgment.
Busch was fined SO and costs in police
court on November Is, for using ar express
wagon in his business without a license.
Busch said he would appeal the case, but
failed to file an appeal bond within the re-
duired time. He also neglected to pay the
fine which had been assessed and a capias
was issued for his arrest Tuesday after
noon. The cost of issuing the capias was
81, and that was the bone Of contention.
Busch protested against paying the extra
dollar, but It was thought 81 was not too
much to charge for a ride in the patrol
wagon when the arrest was made in the
capias. The fine Of so and costs amount
ing to $3.50 were paid Wednesday morning,
but Busch then announced his intention
of suing the city for damages for arresting
him twice for the same offense.
