HUSBAND SENDS
WIFE TO PARENTS
SAYS SHE is NOT LIKE FIRST
HELPMATE
Judge Trask Hears Evidence In Di-
vorce Suit and Decides Couple
Would BE Happier II
Separated

The old, old story of wife reproving
her second husband because he failed
to come up to the standard set by her
dear departed John" or William" was
reversed yesterday when Mrs. Caroline
F. Scott, pleading that her husband
claimed she was not his equal and
therefore attempted to get rid of her,
was granted a decree of divorce by
Judge Trask in department four of
the superior court.
The couple were married in Los An
geles two years ago, shortly after the
bride had come to this city from her
home in ST. Louis. They moved to
Garvanza, where the husband had a
pretty little home fitted up for her
and there they lived until January of
last year, when Charles II. Scott, the
plaintiff, suggested that his wife take
a visit to her relatives in the east.
Il was a good friend of the family
and I know Scott particularly WELL"
testified Charles Collins yesterday.
Il had visited the Scott home with
my wife and have taken several meals
there and we always thought that Mrs.
Scott was an extremely neat house
keeper and cook.
But l met Scott several days before
his wife left for the east and I told
him that L was coming out to see him
and bring my wife along.
out, for 1 am going to send my wife
east to visit her folks and in that way
get rid of her She is not my equal
and not nearly so oongenial as my
first wife was. My first wife is dead
now and this one is not like her.
why don't you be a man about IL
and tell her right now and have 1t over
with" 1 said. and he answered:
well 1t might hurt her feelings and
l want to let her down easy so 1 am
going to send her east and that will
be the end of it.
II left for st. Louis on the fifth day
of January" testified Mrs. Scott. my
husband bought my railroad ticket and
gave me just 81 to pay my expenses
with, but as he promised to send me
more money by every mail. 1 never said
much about 1t. He was an advertising
man and made fair wages as solicitor
for an Arizona newspaper.
Il never received any money and
when l finally managed to get back to
Los Angeles and asked him to come
and live with me he refused to do so
and then L filed my petition for di-
Your husband Is a man who lives
from hand to mouth and yet keeps up
a shabby eentility,' said Judge Trask.
There isn't any reason why a woman
should want to live with such a man."
continued the judge, and he granted a
decree of divorce.
Mrs. SCOTS case was ably presented
by Attorney ID. V. Mahoney, Well
known eastern attorney, who was re-
Gently admitted to the bar in Los An
geles county He had nearly a dozen
witnesses present to testify as to the
spotless character and sterling quail
ties of his client.

was not that he failed TO be great
commander. He was wonderful in his
way; he knew how 10 collect 100000
men at fixed point on Il fixed date.
but when he had collected them he
never knew the least i'll the world
what to do with them
So said Wellington, and Oh this &C.
casion lie actually ate SOults dinner,
which was in course of preparation for
him. But. though the capture Of the
French marshal seemed inevitable, he
was already beyond the tolls, having
by supreme effort extricated himself
from perils as fearful as ever beset
general
1t was mastery retreat, and
throughout it he was not only watch
ing for the best advantages to be
gained but testing the spirit of his
men, His hand was almost on their
pulses, his eye was ever watchful, and
suddenly, by stroke almost theatrical
in it's effect. he drew up the troops,
10000 in number, on the position he
had occupied two months before at
the battle of Braga," thus rousing the
spirits OF his soldiers.
He continued the retreat, facing ev-
cry difficulty of country and weather
but never deferred, and finally crossed
the Cavado Gin full time, for the Eng
lish guns were laundering on the
rear
He had lost about 5000 men; he had
entered Portugal with ffty-eight pieces
Of artillery; he returned without a
gun. - Colonel J. Hamburg Williams,
