IDA {. De GUERRE
SEEKS DIVORCE.
Sister Of Eta Marian War
ren Begins Sensational
Action Against Husband
FILES MANY CHARGES

Mrs. Ida E. de Guerre, sister of Eta
Marian Warren, whose second legal
battle to retain her possession of the
fortune willed her by Bertha NJ. Dolbeer
reached successful termination in the
local courts last week. began suit in
the Superior Court yesterday to secure
a divorce from Albert S. J. de Guerre,
against whom she makes sensational
charges of habitual intemperance,
neglect, cruelty and failure to provide
for herself and their two children.
De Guerre and Miss Ida Warren were
married in San Francisco in 1890, and
have lived together until recently, but
at present Mrs. de Guerre is with her
mother at 257 Hartford street. De
Guerre is a bookbinder and stationer,
and is 3S years of age. Mrs. de Guerre
declares that he has done nothing to
contribute to her support, but has
spent all he earns for liquor, forcing
her to rely on the charity of other
members of her family for support.
She asks for alimony and the custody
of their children, Edna Marian, IA years
old. and Sydney Chester, 10 years old,
and for an injunction restraining the
Aark-Lane Company from paying over
any money due her husband
HUSBAND ASSAULTED HER.
The cruelty of which Mrs. de Guerre
complains reached its elimination in
1903, according to the details set forth
in her petition. On February IS Of
that year, while she and her husband
were living at 4126 Twentieth street,
she says that without cause or provo
cation on her part he slapped her face,
pushed her out of the room and locked
the door so that she could not return.
On October 10, 1904, after they had
gone to live with Mrs. Warren, the
plaintiffs mother, he again slapped her
and told her that he was tired OF her
and washed his hands of her from that
time on.
During the year of 1903 Mrs. de
Guerre declares that her husband fire.
ouently came home in an intoxicated
condition that he would remain just
long enough for supper and would then
go out and remain until late hour
and sometimes stay away the entire
night. For the past two years, she
says, he has slighted her and the chill
dren and has had absolutely nothing
to do with them when he could avoid
it, In February, 1903, Sydney became
seriously i'll, but during the three
weeks that the boy was confined to his
bed the father never once visited him
nor asked about him. Then the de-
fendant's alleged profligacy reached its
height and he refused not only to pay
the doctors bills due to the lads ILL
ness, but even avoided his own debts,
sending collectors who called upon him
in regard to personal matters to his
wife.
