SUES HUSBAND FOR
HIS CHRISTMAS GIFT

Special to The Herald.
HARRISBURG. Pa. Oct 29.-Mrs.
Cora A. Ensminger, Harrisburg
woman, instituted civil suit in the
county court today against her hus-
band, Eugene M. Ensminger. charging
that he publicly presented her on
Christmas with deeds to property IN
Swatara township, and then. only four
days later, "unlawfuly, wrongfully
and without the knowledge and con-
sent of the plaintiff" distracted them
from her lawful possession. The court
is asked to order a return of the prop
erty.
Mrs. Ensminger was married in De-
cember, 1898, and they lived together
till August, 1906. when he left her
without sufficient cause. She also
states that the presentation was made
in 1908, in the presence Of a large num-
ber of specially invited friends and
relatives.
She put them away and ''felt such
pride in owning and possessing them"
that she refused to let her husband
take them to the recorders office.
When she sought them for that pur-
pose they were gone

odor became so penetrating that several
women were compelled TO leave the
court room. The garments from the
body had been packed in chloride of
lime, but even that had failed to in any
way detract from the odor.
Garment by garment was lifted up
and identified as the clothing taken
from the body Of the woman In the
Temescal canyon, and all the time Be
sold looked on without a sign OF in
terest.
AT last one Of the attorneys plunged
his hand among the garments and drew
out something. For a moment those
in the court room could not see exactly
what the stuff was, and then as the
light became better they understood,
and some of them fairly staggered from
the room.
The grewsome object was the mass
o. hair just as It had fallen from the
skull the day the body was discovered,
and every eye rested on Besold to see
how he would take the situation. He
looked carefully at the mat of hair,
and then with a gesture Of disgust. as
though the sight displeased him, he
shook his head
During the afternoon the authenticity
OF the laundry marks on the garments
was established and Mrs. Chaffin, at
whose home Besold had boarded, testl-
fed as to that fact, and further related
a number Of instances when Besold and
his wife had quarreled. She told the
court of the day in July when the two
left for the beach, of Besold's return
without his wife and of his subsequent
departure.
Court was adjourned until today.
when a vigorous prosecution will be
continued. 1t Is expected that this
morning the garments will again be
shown in court that Mrs Chaffin may
express her opinion as to whether or
not Mrs. Besold wore the clothes on the
day of her disappearance.
The defense will deny the identity Of
the body, and are preparing an ag-
gressive campaign.

ACCIDENT AT GEYSER TIES
UP ASPHALT PAVING JOB
Special to The Herald.

CpeCldl 10 Inc Herald.
PASADENA, Oct. 29.-Two asphalt
paving matters reached the critical
stage this afternoon, the one as a re-
sule of carefully laid plot. The Bar
ber Asphalt company started plowing
up North Fair Oaks avenue this morn
ing, preliminary to asphalting. The
workmen struck water main which
had been laid too close to. the surface
and in few minutese fine stream of
water was rushing off down the street.
This water, after traversing eight
blocks which have been paved for years
with asphalt, poured out over the sur
face which Contractor Andrew Hollo-
way had prepared for its asphalt sur
face on South Fair Oaks avenue. Just
what effect this flood will have on the
work is not yet known.
The other asphalt proposition involves
the paving of South Los Robles avenue.
A petition to pave this street from
Colorado to California street will be
presented to the city council tomorrow
morning, This petition is signed by
more than a majority and, coupled
with the petition for the northern sec
tion, already granted; will make the
longest asphalt job in Pasadena. In
length 1t will be over two miles.

NEW YORK, Oct. 29-To buy dia-

rough stones from the syndicate say
that one cause that has been sending
up the prices is the unfavora BILE assort-
ing in many shipments,
The stones come in sizes, shapes and
quantities that do not yield on cutting
as many high grade gems in the COM
sizes most sought by the jewellers are
from one-half to one and one-half

say that they are getting many large

Another element is labor, and accord
ing to manufacturers they now pay
much higher wages than year ago,
while the men do not cut and polish as
many stones. A Nassau street manu-

were based on the amounts they earned
by the piece That level represented
their earnings when they worked under
full steam, each man having an incen-
tive to polish as many carats of dia-

the maximum pay.
while we are paying salaries on the
high level corresponding with such
earnings the men who worked sixty

work forty-eight hours Each polisher

"The men, without the old stimulus

it would on any other class of men.
While polishing costs us double what

it costs a New York manufacturer at
