Leonard Leopold, who, with Howard
Nicholas, is on trial at Chicago charg
ed with the murder Of Margaret Les
lie, an actress, Friday took the wit
ness stand in his own behalf. After
denying that he killed Mrs. Leslie he
was asked:
Did you ever see herr"
To this he made no reply, but sud-
denly sprang from the seat of the wit
ness chair and dashed from the room.
Bailiffs lawyers and spectators rushed
for him. He had gone but a short dis
tance in the hall when he tainted. He
was taken to the jury room and re-
Vived. 1t is not believed the rush from
the room was an attempt to escape,
but was due to a nervous collapse fol-
lowing the strain to which he had
been subjected on the witness stand.

DIVORCE GRANTED
To- SEXAGENAR|AN
AGED MAN CHARGES HIS WIFE
WITH CRUELTY
Married Almost Quarter of a Gen.
tury, the kress Family Now
Is Legally Sepa-
rated

Instead of making arrangements for a
happy celebration of their silver wedding
anniversary, which would occur next Sep
tember, William f. Kress and his wife
Emma were divorced by Judge Bordwell
In the superior court yesterday.
Kress, who is a Pasadena grocer, CS
years of age, brought the suit on the
ground of cruelty, and testified that his
wife, who is eight years younger, hau
been guilty of dashing cup of hot tea
in his face and throwing sundry and vari-
GUS articles at him, times without num-
ber during the last five years; besides
4 spouse.
During all of this abuse he never lost
his temper not even speaking harshly, nor
did he attempt retaliation, for at the time
he considered his wife insane.
Some months ago he swore to com
plaint charging his wife with insanity,
but after a thorough examination she was
adjudged mentally competent.
When she returned home after the in
sanity proceedings Kress averred that
his wife, instead of protesting penitence
for her past misdeeds, promised to make a..
his life living hell and in the PLAINTIFF s
opinion, she broke all existing records In
making good her threat
But not until she had denied him en-
with window screen did he resolve TO
seek the courts aid in severing the matri-
monial bonds that had endured for nearly
quarter of a century.
Mrs Kress made all sorts of counter
charges, but admitted that the marriage
ties were onerous and that she would fain
be free If the court would provide gener-
GUS alimony for her future support.
On the stand yesterday Mrs. Kress re-
oudiated all of the allegations and de-
clared she loved her husband dearly. A
few minutes later, however, she changed
her mind and made serious allegations
against him and sister.
Under cross examination she admitted
that he had always provided for her gen.
erously and said that she had silk dresses
< and diamond earrings. She had no com,
plant of her husbands conduct toward
\her except that he refused to heed her
ladvice, and in fact paid no attention tc
Nher.
Other witnesses for the defense testified
Nat Kress had always been model hus-
md SO far as they knew.

tH husband asked for divorce on the
grond of cruelty, but the evidence hao
sh6n that Kress was innocent of any
Wrogdoing, and the testimony of the de
fenS only strengthened the plaintiff

JUDE Bordwell concluded that the
wrorful acts of Mrs. Kress were evil
dentf those of an abnormal mind, tina
she vs. not irresponsible for them bu
