TOO KIND TO WIFE
PLEADS LEE COATS
Wealthy Cattle Dealer Declares
He Made Himself Poor by
His Generosity
Mrs. EuIah Coats Wants $3.50 a
Month AIimony Pending
Divorce Trial

Lee B. Coats, the wealthy horse and
cattle dealer, whose litigation with his
wife and his ex-wife fills several hun
dred pages of superior court records,
represented himself in an affidavit filed
yesterday as a soft hearted, overgen-
erous man who had made himself poor
by gratifying every whim OF his young
wife, Eulah, and by loading her with
diamonds. Mrs. Coats asked for $3.50
a month temporary alimony pending
the determination of her suit for d.
vorce. and the matter was submitted
to Judge Seawell on affidavits. The
young wife considered $3.50 a month
was not too much for her needs, mas
much as her husband had given her
$500 spending money during the great
er part of their married life, and their
living expenses had exceeded $500 a
month. including $50 for a room at
the Fairmont. Coats offered her S125
a month.
1T is true that since my marriage
in February of last year 1 have given
my wife too much money" said Coats.
1T is also true that I have permitted
her to spend more money that / could
afford, but she is a young woman, %
years of age, and it was my ambition
during the time we were living to-
gether to crafty whatever her wishes
might, be, and with this feeling and
this object I did at times give her as
much as $500 a month"
Mrs. Coats says she needs the $3.50
a month in order to live in the manner
she was accustomed to before her mar
riage. Coats SCOTS at this and retors
that he does not believe she had more
than $50 a month to spend before she
married him, her parents being people
Of moderate means.
In her complaint and affidavit Mrs.
Coats asserted that her husbands half
interest in the firm OF Bricker & Coats
is worth S250,o00, and that in July he
told her he had $1,000 in bank in Los
Angeles, $s 900 in bank in Hanford and
$500 outstanding debts. He repeated
ly told her, she also asserted, that his
monthly income was $4,000 to $4,000.
These statements were all denied In
the affidavit of Coats. He said he had
given his wife more than $4,000 for
safe keeping and that she was with
holding this money from him. He also
stated that he had given her $4,000
worth of diamonds. Mrs. Coats retorted
that the value of all the jewelry and
diamonds given her by Coats was only
S4,625.
Neither Coats nor his wife was in
court. After argument between Hi
ram W. Johnson, representing Mrs.
Coats, and Walter J. Linforth, who ap-
peared for the husband, Judge Seawell
| took the application under advisement.

Mrs. Frank Dodge, 3o9 Capp street,
appeared at the bond and warrant
clerks office yesterday morning to

That same evening the grand dukes

the princess apartments, and when
the door opened he gravely announced
that his serene highness desired to
speak to the Princess Hildegarde. 1t
was a command. For some reason,
known best to herself the princess
chose to obey it.
