Mrs. Riley, Arrested on
Complaint Of Real Fs-
tate Dealer, Charges Spite
TEsTIFIES FOR WIFE

OAKLAND, Nov. 15.-Rage over her
having given testimony in favor of Mrs.

Pablo, where she was at once released
by Justice of the Peace Masterson.

nee met Mrs. Riley and the two be-
came intimate friends. When Gurnee
instituted his action for divorce. charg-
ing that his wife had refused to live
with him, and the case was brought to
trial. Mrs. Riley was subpenaed as one
of the witnesses of the wife, and her
testimony materially aided the cause OF
Mrs Gurnee.
The husband has been compelled to
transfer to his wife $4,000 worth Of
property rs her share Of the community
holdings, and 1T is declared that he will
not only not press his charges against
his wife, but viii not attempt to fight
the complaint filed by her. More
than thirty witnesses have been sum-
moned to testify for Mrs. Gurnee, but
the most important of all the testimony
has been that of Mrs. Riley
Mrs Riley declared after her release
that her arrest was due to nothing
except Gurnee's determination to be
revenged upon her because of her ac-
tivity in behalf Of his wife Mrs Riley
said today that when the case came
to trial she would relate some things
about Gurnees treatment of his wife.
while they were living together in
Siege, which would not increase the
real estate brokers' popularity in Con-
ira Costa County.
Gurnee has so far not specified in
what particular Mrs. Riley disturbed
his peace, but promises to prove his
charges at the proper time.
