GROUNDS FOR DIVORCE
Other Incompatible Couples Appeal to
Court to Have Their Marriage
Ties Rent Apart-Two
DEGREES Granted

footing on a brass horn in the dark
ness of the night for the purpose OF
disturbing the slumbers of his family
is one of the things objected to by Mrs
Emma Domercq, formerly of Redondo
who testified in the superior court
yesterday, IN a suit for divorce against
Peter Domercq. The husband was also
very abusive, she said, and his mean
ness was shown frequently when he
chased the children around the yard
with q pitchfork.
The couple married fifteen years age
in New York and have been living in
Redondo for a few years. They sepa-
rated in February, when Mrs. Domercq
said she could stand for her husbands 5
actions no longer and came TO Los An
geles with her five children. The case
was continued until 8 o'clock Tuesday
for further evidence.
r. E. Hagan augh told the court
he followed his wife, Gertrude, one
night in June While she, unaware OF
his presence, went with another man
to hotel. Hagenbaugh, accompanied
by a male friend forced open the door
of the room, which the couple occupied
kicked the man down stairs and was, he
said, roundly berated by his wife as
consequence. She refused to go home
with him and they have lived apart
since. The divorce was granted.
Mary E. Thompson, who married Ed
ward Thompson In 1892, told the court
she had been deserted four years ago
In response to a letter written to her
husband in May, Mrs. Thompson said
she received a reply he would neither
send her money nor live with her. Be
cause of the absence of several papers
in the case the matter was continued
Martha p. Shrader, who married w.
w. Shrader in San Antonio, Texas, less
than year ago, wanted to have the
marriage annulled, because, she said,
her husband was of unsound mind, al
though showing no evidence Of 1t at
the time of the ceremony or since. Aft
er the marriage, however, she discov-
cred that Shrader had at one time
been confined in an asylum. The case
was continued until $3.50 o'clock Mon
day for further evidence.
Mary T. Hill was granted a divorce
from John IT. Hill on the ground of
desertion. They were married in Colo

Action During the Panic.
The Treasury was called upon in the
latter part of October, 1907. to render as
sistance in a financial panic which began
in New York city and which gradually
extended over the entire country.
Through Treasury operations during this
financial disturbance the amount Of pub
lie deposits with the banks reached $685.
54S,321, November 30, 1907, and Decem-
Der q, 1907. the maximum Of $2o9,994.271
was attained, after which 1t was de-
creased to $3.50. 800 154 by the close of the
month
At the beginning of the present fiscal
year there was a freer circulation OF
money and large amounts were returned
to the financial centers and some of the
depositaries voluntarily returned to the
Treasury part of their holdings of pub
lie deposits amounting in all to. approx
mately, S4OOOOOO. A further withdrawal
of public money from depository banks
in New York city, made in January.
amounted to S., $50, 900. making the bal
ance in the banks to the credit to the
general fund at the end OF January $226,-

Further voluntary surrender of deposits
were made during February. and June 30
the general fund had been reduced to
$149,OUO,OOO.

Sister Finishes the Story.

Carrie was crying SO hard when she
reached this part of her story that the
reporter told her not to bother about the
rest. Louisa. her oldest sister, a remark
ably pretty miss of fifteen, furnished the
remainder of the story.
Il was just coming through the opening

I heard Carrie and Sammy calling. I ran
into the house and they told me Joey was
hurt. picked him up I'm my arms and
carried him to the front porch.
Il thought the air would help him. I
washed the blood from his lips and then
he began to get cold. didn't know till
the doctor came that he had been shot
through the heart.
Il called his uncle Frank Swift. and
he carried Joey back into our parlor. We
kept Joey there until Coroner Curry came
and asked Carrie lots of questions After
a long time they carried Joey home.
1t becomes necessary to correct the
story at this point. The statement that
everybody in the settlement attended the
funeral is just little bit out of the way.
