BLAMES WIFE FOR ALL
OF HIS MANY TROUBLES
Hailed Into Court to Tell Why He Did
Not Support His Family, Her
man Berg Makes Novel
Plea

Herman Berg lays all his troubles,
financial, physical and mental, to his
wife, Mrs. Sedulia A. Berg, and when
the couple appeared in the superior
court yesterday, Berg to tell why he
should not support his family and his
wife to explain why he should, the court
agreed with the former that he was the
object of spite work and rendered his
decision accordingly.
The Bergs live on Vernon avenue.
where they own house and lot. They
formerly lived in Michigan, where Berg
said he owned farm which was later
sold for taxes. A building in a Michi-
gan city, he said, was also sold, but his
wife took the full proceeds and he re-
ceived nothing.

Southern Pacific railway, but my wife
told my employers 1 had taken things

me. have looked for work since, but
can find none A detective was en-
ployed and found I had stolen nothing
from the railroad, but my old employers
say they won't take me back until my
family troubles are over"
Mrs. Berg said she has depended upon
her own efforts and those of two daugh-
tiers for support. The court believed
there was some evidence of spite on the
part of the wife and ordered an en-
cumbrance of $3.50 placed on the Yer
non avenue home, the money to BE-
placed with the clerk of the court and
sent to Mrs. Berg at the rate Of Sc a
week until the divorce action filed by
Mrs. Berg comes to trial.

HONEYMOON TRIP
MARRIED BY ARREST
YOUNG TOURIST AND BRIDE IN
COURT
fastener Accused Of Forcing Way
Into Cafe at Whittier Which He
Had Been Considering
Purchasing

The pleasures of a honeymoon trip
were marred yesterday when j: L.
Miner a young tourist, appeared IN
Justice Pierce's court, charged Jointly
with Fred L. Baldwin with forclply en-

way" said the young woman to the
attorney prosecuting the case, ana
you haven't any right to keep MN
here. Two parties were trying to sell
ms the cafe and we had nothing what
ever to do with the trouble between
them"
Miner and Baldwin were arrested on
a complaint issued to Mrs. Anna A.
Perkins of Whittier. Baldwin owns the
building in which the cafe is located
and leased it to Mrs. Perkins, the rent
to he applied ON the purchase of the
place. Mrs. Perkins defaulted In some
of her payments, and when Baldwin de-
handed possession of the property II
was refused. The rear door was forced
open by Baldwin's attorney and new
lock, to which only Baldwin had Key

estate agent we learned that the Pacific
cafe at Whittier was for sale, and
thither we went. 1t was while looking
over the place with Baldwin that was
arrested
Mrs. Perkins said the Miners had
called on her and that Baldwin, when
he heard of the prospective purchasers,
Immediately demanded possession of
the property, hoping, she said, to effect
the sale himself.
A Jury found Baldwin guilty of forci-

"Well, think we will turn him over

observant, Kutz.
And so it proved that the day of i'll
omen affects the county treasury, for
only six licenses were issued. That
there were six and not five was due
to the efforts of Attorney G. G. Nc
Cullough, who prevailed upon the irate
mother of Eveline Norton to allow her
daughter to marry William Price.
Price was charged with creating a dis
turbance in the Norton home, and not
withstanding he was an accepted sutton
for the hand of Eveline the mother
secured a complaint and had him ar
rested. He had passed through the
preliminary legal formality of being
arraigned and was placed in the county
iail to await a trial on September 8.
when the attorney interceded. Three
hours after his confinement behind the
bars Price was on his way to the court
of Justice Pierce, while the prospective
bride was out among friends collecting
money to pay the expenses of the cere-
mony.
There might also have been seven
licenses issued had it not been for the
fact that Mrs. Bird Christie, living al

OWNERS OF GRIFFIN
AVENUE IN PROTEST
REVOLT AGAINST PROPOSED
IMPROVEMENT
Declare That Real Estate Promoters
Are Seeking to Enhance Values
of Property at Their
Expense

A protest, which the promoters claim
is signed by more than three-fourtns
of the frontage, against the improve
ment of Griffin avenue, from Alhampfa
to Avenue SO, was filed with the city
clerk yesterday.
The protestants base their objections
on three grounds. They say the I'M
provement was started by real estate
promoters to enhance the value OF lhe
property at no cost to themselves, but
an expense of about 1886 a foot to the
frontage; that their wishes in the mat
ter were not taken into consideration,
and that, if the street is to be improved
at all there is no necessity for re-
grading and reguttering, as these i'm
provements have been made and are
perfectly satisfactory to the property
owners.
A set time for hearing is waived, and
it is probable the protest will be taken
up by the council next Monday. If, as
represented, the protest contains a ma
jority of the frontage, the council has
no option but to order the work aban-

Mrs, George Kressler appeared in the
superior court yesterday accompanied
by her little daughter, whom she had
removed from the jurisdiction of an
Indiana court following a decree of az
vorce from Frank Bashford, former
husband.
The latter learned of the whereabouts
of his former wife and came to Los An
geles several days ago, having secured
modification of the divorce decree
whereby the child was ordered returned
to his care. Following her arrival in
Los Angeles, the woman remarked, and
owing to her change of name it was
with difficulty she could be traced by
Bashford. His appeal for the restora-

Almost overcome by emotion, George
Andrew made this statement in the SUI

reared to explain why he should NOT
furnish money for the support OF MS
wife, Belle A. Andrew, and their Oldest

Mrs. Andrew said her husband owned

husband declared this had all been

Jointly by the husband and wife, While
