OFFICE BOY SLEU7H
IN DIVORCE CASE
KEEPS TORN TELEGRAM, DAM.
AGING EVIDENCE
@Meet Me, Marie" 1t Said, and Mrs
Otto II. Mohr, Wife of In
ventor, Uses 1t with
Effect

The work of a youthful Sherlock Holmes
was one of the features yesterday in
the divorce case of Martha Mohr agains,
Otto H Mohr, the inventor which is on
trial in Superior Judge Monroe's depart
ment The young sleuth, Bart Olivas,
was a witness.
Olivas was employed by Mohr to SWEEP
out his office at 1923 East Second street
and some unaccountable instinct led him
to pick out and paste together the pieces
of telegram thrown by Mohr into his
waste basket. The telegram was received
July II, and since that time has remained
in hiding. the boy awaiting an opportunt
moment when 1t might be of use tc
Mrs. Mohr.
The message, which is dated San Fran
cisco and signed by Marie Camp, was in
troduced by the prosecution with the
hope of proving that the acquaintance be-
tween Mohr and Mrs. Camp was closer
than admitted by Mohr.
The telegram read: ''Will arrive at
o'clock Friday. Meet me-
Saturday last, Olivas testified, he had
read an account of the divorce proceed
ings and had resurrected the telegram
am. taken 1t to Mrs. Mohr's attorneys.
Mrs. Camp is said to be the wife of a
wealthy jeweler of Nevada.
AIlmony Barred
A dash of cold water was thrown upon
the prosecution yesterday when the court
stated he had already made UP his mind
that no attorneys fees or alimony would
be granted in the case.
This was brought out by a question
asked Mohr as to the amount of money
he had in bank at the time Of his mar
riage.
There are no childrr, involved in this, y
declared the court, land I am not going
to mortgage a mans life.'
The reading and consideration of the
cross complaint filed by Mohr took up
most of the session. He said Mrs Mohi
had a year ago scratched his face and
thrown things at him while they were
living at Ocean Park. BY insinuation and
otherwise she had accused him of being
too familiar with other women. On one
occasion, he said, she had become ex-
tremely angry because q woman known
as ''Sunny Jim," because Of her cheerful
disposition, had waved her hand at him
in Los Angeles grill.
Mrs Mohr declared she had not threat
ened to .'box his ears or call him de
ceitful wretch at this time.
A motion for nonsuit in the cross com
plant was denied in the afternoon. The
court room was crowded at the beginning
of the afternoon session and it was
necessary for the bailiff to stand at the
door and keep out every person who
could not find a seat. The greater part
of the late session was occupied in TAX
ing testimony from Mrs Mohr, who de-
MED practically everything alleged by her
husband in his cross complaint.
The case is expected TO be concluded
today.
