escape from s--e odium attaching to
"ex-convict," Mrs. Charles A. Roger,
who was Miss Florence Baron, beau
tiful society girl of Berkeley, has bid
den Roger leave her, after brief
period of welded unhappiness. Roger,
between sobs, made the announcement
to the police today that the crowning
misfortune of a series of unlucky epi-
sodes had come to him in the form of
a notice from his young bride that she
no longer could endure to bear the
name of Roger.
Hysterical with grief and rage,
Roger scored the police for what he
called persecution of him since his re-
lease from San Quentin and charged
them with responsibility for his
troubles. The spectacle he created
in the police headquarters was dra-
recited his wrongs, real and fancied.
Royer was married to Miss Baron
last winter while he was employed as
James Ewing's chief clerk and conf
Dental man in the University phar-s

had served a term in prison for en-
