A Statement
EDITOR ADVERTISER:

A few days ago it was stated in both
The Herald and THE ADVERTISER,
that the County Supervisor would pay
off the managers of the "Dispensary
election" but since that time Mr.. Hum
bert informs me that, after consulting
his attorneys, they advise him not to
do so, as such procedure would be ir-
regular, and that the bills for expenses
of said election must be sent to Colum-
bia and paid through the regular chan
mel. The legislature now in session will
make the necessary appropriation, and
the managers and other parties holding
claims will get their money soon after
the legislature adjourns. This state
election and others were expected to be
paid at an early date by the Supervisor.

ANGELO MARCHESl APPLIES
FOR DIVORCE
Proprietor Of Winery Tells narrowing
Story Of Domestic Woes--As-
serts Woman Destroyed
Valuable Plano

OF all the hard luck stories and tales
room the story of Angelo Marchesi's
married life, told by him yesterday on
the witness stand of Judge Yorks court
room, when he asked for a divorce, is
said to far eclipse all others.
Marchesi, once known as the jolliest
little man of the italian quarter, ap-
peared wan and pale yesterday and
looked as though he fully deserved the
title Of the Misery Kid" which has
been conferred upon him by some of
his friends.
Marchesi has been well known in Los
Angeles for the past fourteen years
and for many years was proprietor of
a winery.
But the money amassed by the little
man did not satisfy him. He had a
goodly sum of it and as he never drank
the increase of his capital was con-
stant, but still he failed to fully enjoy
life.
In June of 1908 Marchesi went to Buff
falo. 1t was one of the few enjoy
ments he had allowed himself, and
while there he met and married the
woman who was to figure prominently
Ill MS lie.
According to Marchesis statements
yesterday, his wife was not sylph-like
in form. She weighed slightly over no.
most of which was the real "muskle." !"
Is Whacked With Rolling Pin
Following the wedding they came to
Los Angeles and Marchesl fitted up a
beautiful little home for his wife and
then the trouble began.
The first outbreak occurred in Au-
gust, when, according to allegations
brought out in the divorce proceedings
yesterday, Mrs. Jennie Marchesi pro-
ceeded to become intoxicated She met
her husband at the door with smile
and a rolling pin and while she greeted
him with the former, she whacked him
on the head with the latter.
In explaining the incident yesterday
Marchesi said that his wife had hit
his hat with the rolling pin and had
broken the hat. He later remarked
that the hat had adorned his head dur
ing the performance.
Then came the real original misery.
Mrs. Marchesi, according to her hus-
bands statements. became intoxicated
three times a week regularly, and at
such times her actions were most pc
culiar. On one occasion she secured her
husbands clothes and cut them to
pieces so that until rescued by friends
he had to remain in his room.
The story of Mrs. Marchesi's tantrums
Los Angeles herald., 1906-01-06
SAYS HIS WIFE RUNS AMUCK,
SMASHES HOUSE AND FURNITURE

were told as follows yesterday by her
husband:
"well," he said, "she used to get
drunk, and that was what caused most
of the trouble. often when I would
come home and she would be there in
toxicated she would scratch me and
beg me to fight her. At one time when
I had furnished the house well came
home to find trouble awaiting me.
Smashes the Piano
First she slammed me on the head
with n stick and then she cut at me
with knife and tore my clothes and
cut them She then broke the furni-
ture, swung my watch around her head
three times and sent 1t crashing
through the dresser mirror, broke
down the doors and broke out the win
dow glasses. She cut the bedding to
pieces and ripped up the mattresses.
"Then she got n hammer and went
to the parlor where the piano was. /
had just paid $3.50 for it, but that didn't
matter. and she went at 1t with the
hammer, smashed the sides, banged the
keys to pieces. wrecked the strings and
made the whole instrument look like
a bunch of junk.
Gas a grand finale she picked up
a lighted lamp and threw It at me- and
it broke and set fire to the house.
"Then she told me that If I would
take her to some different climate she
would be better, so took her to Sc
attic and fixed up n nice house, but
it was all the same there and she
wrecked that house and 1 brought her
back to Los Angeles and gave her an
other chance, but it was skidoo to the
tall uncut for me whenever she started
for there was no stopping her. She
wrecked another house here and then
demanded 5000 from me, which I gave
her. She then left, but she insists on
disturbing me in my work"
The case was taken under submits
sion by Judge York.
