Writing in the San Francisco Call.
James Crawford, one of San Francisco's
bright lights in the newspaper world,
says Of the recent Corey divorce trial
at Reno. Nevada:
"a pathetic development Of the Corey
farce is Reno's childlike belief in the
sincerity Of the lady's adduced reasons
for having taken up residence in that
town. Divorce. she averred, was
farthest from her thoughts when she
decided to settle down for life in
the washoe County capital. Her sole
purpose in coming West was to find a
place, where, as Attorney Joe Redding
softly informed the jury. she could lay
her down and nurse bleeding heart. ;
After touring the most favored rest
places of California she dropped into
Reno and immediats ly was charmed by
the exceptional climatic and social ad-
vantages there existent. So she leased
a home. bought mine and already has
her heart hemorrhage under subjection.

q home was mentioned there was mani

box, and il the atmospheric heat had
been less oppressive applause might
have greeted the allusion to a mine
purchase. For home renting and mine
buying meant more to Reno's material
prosperity than did the healing Of Mrs.
Corey's bleeding heart.
