Attorney Slack Says Cattleman
Should Have Urged Prior
Marriage During Trial
Counsel for the Defendant Will
Plead Friday for Reopen
ing Of the Case

There was further argument before
Judge Graham yesterday on the motion
of James Clay DuDphy to reopen the
suit in which Edith M Dunphy was
granted divorce and an allowance of
$4,000. In reply to the statement of
Dunphy's attorney that Mrs. Dunphy
was not legally divorced from al prior
husband, julius Silverstone because al
the time she got her decree she had
resided in Oregon only three months
Charles w. Slack contended that even
if those facts were true she was still
entitled 10 a divorce in California
from Dunphy.
Slack also commented upon the cir
cumstances that the alleged newly dis
covered evidence was in the knowledge
of Dunphy while the case was being
tried, and contended that if he did not
bring it out then he could not reopen
the case by doing SO now. It was urged
by Slack that the court should be very
reluctant to set aside a Judgment when
the motion to do so was not made in
good faith. The case went over to
Friday for further argument by j. H
Meredith, Dunphys lawyer
Ralph Davis, stated to be a stock
holder in Goldberg. Bowen & Co, and

have deserted her, but afterward re.

A marvelously narrow escape from
death by pistol shot was testified to by
Marie A. Grewe in her suit for divorce

Judge Seawell yesterday. A bullet fired
at her by her husband, she said, struck
the steel of her corset. The bullet was

Grewe said it made a slight wound on
her side. Her husband fired at her be-
cause she interfered when he slapped

There can be, in the ma

no investment so sure of

Real estate-the very
name indicates it's stabil-

not artificial or counter

1t can't pinch out like a
gold mine, nor run dry like
an oil well. It's value can

Real estate is open and
above board any man can
see it's worth-no man can
juggle its value-it is real
its value is founded on
plain facts.
When we tell you, next
Saturday, Of the property
