DUNPHY SUES TO
ANNUL MARRIAGE
Wealthy CattIeman Makes New
Move in Litigation With
Former Wife
Alleges She Was Not Divorced
From Former Husbands at
Time OF Wedding

new move was made by James
clay Dunphy yesterday in his involved
lltgatIon with Edith M. Dunphy, who
secured divorce and a $4,000 allow
ance from him in Judge Graham S
court. The wealthy cattle rancher has
now sued to have his marriage de-
clared null and void, repeating the al
legations made several days ago in an
andavit that Mrs. Dunphy was not di-
vorced from any of her three prior
husbands at the time she married Dun
phy in January. 1903. All the allega-
tons are made ION information and be-
lief"
Dunphy says the defendant in 1902
at Downieville, Cal. married oliver p
II. Sunderhouse. Some time in the
Iollowlng year she began divorce pro-
ceedlngs against Sunderhouse, but no
valid Judgment or decree of divorce
was ever entered, Dunphy asserts He
also says that the divorce proceedings
were fraudulent and coIlusive. Sunder-
mousse, who is now dead, was living at
the time she married Dunphy, it is al
legged.
The second marriage is stated to
nave taken place with w. c. Coffey
In San francisco in May, 1897. In De.
cember of the same year, 1t is alleged,
she started an action for divorce from
Corey. but, the complaint says, no
valid decree or Judgment was ever
made or entered in this case
fhe third marriage took place at
Stevenson, Wash, and was with Judge
Jullus Silverstone. That marriage was
never dissolved by divorce, Dunphy al
1eges. On these grounds he asks the
court to decree that his marriage with
the defendant was null and void.

PLAUDITS WON BY
ARABIAN STEFDS
Fashionable Gathering Views
Stable Prizes of Eleanor
Gates at Riding Club

Before an interested and fashionable
gathering of several hundred persons.
who We're present by special invitation
the magnificent band of Arabian stai-
lions and mares comprising Ell Rancho
de las Rosas Desert Arabian stud, re-
Gently tablished by Mrs. Richard W al
ton Tully (Eleanor Gates) at Anna,
Santa Clara county, was exhibited at
the San Francisco riding club, Seventh
avenue and street, last evening.
Mayor Edward Robson Taylor and
Mrs Taylor We're among those VINO
graced the occasion with their pres
ence.
The exhibition had been planned for
the express purpose of permitting san
Franciscans TO see for themselves the
wondrous beauty, fleetness, docility ana
Intelligence of the Arab steed and to
demonstrate the adaptability and supe-
riority of the breed for utilitarian pur-
poses. That the occasion will have the
effect of arousing a widespread interest
in the plan for improving the saddle
and driving horse stock of California
by the infusion of the muchly priced
Arabian blood is not too much to hope
for, if one may Judge by the keen inter-
est displayed at last nights gathering.
The admirable qualities for saddle
russ and Nedjran, the stations, and
Sheba and Markisa, the mares OF the
stud, were splendidly demonstrated by
Mrs. Tully and Thomas Mccall. Mrs.
Tully also drove Obeyran 1 in harness
with striking effect and the onlookers
manifested their appreciation of the fine
points of the exhibition with marked
frequency.
Not the least interesting part of the
program was that section devoted to a
comparison of the Arab with the
Arabs descendant-the thoroughbred.
In this Sheba, ridden by Mrs. Tully;
Yusanet, her graceful months" old
flly; Marklsa, led by Charles Oakley
in Bedouin trappings, and Hopeful, a
beautiful thoroughbred mare owned and
ridden by II. A. French, were the par
ticipants. Irving Rosenblatt's Squirrel
and Miss Edith Hoefler's Dewey, two
Kentucky gated horses, were shown In
high school stunts by Loys Darrell to
great advantage, and Judge E. A.
Bridgford put his horse, Artist Jr..

RUFF JUROR DENIES
PREJUDICE CHARGE
Special Agent Repeats Alleged
Conversation With Talesman
and Challenge Follows
Long WrangIe Ensues and
Juryman Is Finally Excused
for Business Reasons

Th Ruef case adjourned last night
with the jury just one place further
removed from completion than it was
p hours before.
After a day of wrangling. hinging
on the attempt of the prosecution to
disqualify W. D. Keyston. who was
temporarily passed to the jury box
Monday, Judge Lawlor ordered the dis
missal of Keyston on the ground of per-
sonal business demands. The chal-
lenge of the prosecution was disal-
lowed. but the eXcusing OF the juror
served the same end by doing away
with the necessity of exercising one of
the two peremptory. challenges which
the people still retain.
The effort to impeach Keyston re-
solved itself into a direct conflict of
testimony between the talesman and
W. Fl. Russell one Of the special agents
employed by the prosecution under the
direction of w J. Burns. When the
Keyston examination was reopened
yesterday morning Russell was called
to the stand by Assistant District At
tOrney Heney and declared that he had
called upon Keyston and that the lat
ter had made statements to him clear
~ indicative OF prejudice against the
prosecution.
The substance Of RusselTs charges,
which were borne out by . typewrit-
ten copy of his report to Burns, was
that Keyston hadAtold him he believed
Rudolph Spreckels to be 'as much OF
a seoundrel as Ruef and Schmitz,' and
that he thought the entire Spreckels
family should be prosecuted and sent
to prison. I<eyston declared that the
report was nine-tenths false and that
he had never made the statements at
tributed to him.
4 did not say any such thing and
the man who says l did lies" he as
serted.
Keyston further declared that he had
not been i'm business at the address at
which Russell claimed 10 have called
on him the time set by Russell. The
latter was unable TO give any exact
date, having lost the memorandum
book containing the original notes rel
ative to the visit. Keyston at first
said that Russell had never called upon
him. but later said he remembered the
visit
In disallowing Heney's challenge
Judge Lawlor expressed himself as con-
vinced of Keyston's sincerity and hon
esty. Heney wanted to know II this
was intended as a reflection on Russell,
but Judge Lawlor quickly responded
that it was not and that Russell was
not suspected of an attempt to mislead
the court.
Henry Ach raised vigorous objec-
tions to the order eXcusing Keyston for
/ business reasons.
