WHISKY DEAL IS
TO BE EXPLAINED
SalOonman Gives Vague Reason
for Defaulting in His ALI
mony Payments
Husband Writes to His Wife to
Look for Some Other
Man

The fnexplicable loss" Of whisky
worth 1900 was submitted yesterday
by William Stock, a saloon keeper, as
a reason why he could not keep up his
payments of SIS a month to his di-
vorced wife for the support OF their
IL year old daughter. Pressed as to
what he meant by the Toss" Stock adj
mitted he had turned the whisky over
to man named Henry E. Lewis and
does not know where It now is. He
refused to give any details Of the trans
action. because by SO doing he would
incriminate himself. he said.
Il order this man Lewis to be
brought into court Friday at o'clock"
ascertained II the transaction Is a
straight one or simply a scheme to
defeat the orders Of this court"
Il would not work from a. m. to
midnight to earn money to take care
OF my child" responded Stock with
some irrelevance.
Wen, I would, work those hours in
order TO take care OF my daughter"
said Judge Trout.
You would?" exploded Stock skep-
tically. MY daughter has been turned
1
years old. left me like a dog when the
divorce was granted
The daughter will be produced in
court Friday and questioned as to
whether she has been Influenced against
her father.
DESERTS HIS WIFE
Il want you to look for another
man. wrote Schuyler Montgomery
from Chicago TO his wife, Grace Mont
gomery, in October, 1907. II wish you
would not write to me any more. l am
disguised. 1 never want TO see you
again Mrs. Montgomery was granted
a divorce, on the ground of desertion
by Judge Murasky yesterday. She said
that her husband left her just before
writing the letter quoted and she had
not seen him since.
Mary Ruth Williams was granted
divorce from Robert Williams formerly
in the cigar business, by Judge Trout
yesterday on the ground of cruelty.
Villa ms, according TO his wife, has
property worth s25. 900. Property ar
rangements were made out of court.
Mrs. Williams said her husband abused
her right along" He often came home
drunk, she testified. and on one oc-
casion threw a glass of hot whisky in
her face. Another time he picked I'D
and ak and threatened TO chop up a
bed she was lying on Whenever
opened my mouth he threatened TO kill
me-" said the wife.
HAS LIMITED INCOME
The attempt of Louisa Hansen to get
SIS a month from a net income of less
than $50 enjoyed by Henry Mugge, her
divorced husband, struck Judge Van
Nostrand as a highly unreasonable
proposition and he denied the woman's
application yesterday. Mrs. Mugge, who
has since married a man earning 81 a.
day, testified that she needed the s25
a. month for the support OF her daugh-
ter, Henrietta, aged Is, whose music
lessons, she said, are expensive. Mugge
testified that he earns $40 a month as
q lamp lighter and receives $50 month
rent from property he owns; but that
street assessments, taxes and other ex-
penses consume s42.50 monthly.

ASKS FOR MANDATE
AGAINST AUDITOR
District Attorney Takes Burns
Salary Case to the State
Supreme Court
Says Attempt Is Being Made to
Cripple Efficiency of the
Graft Prosecution

District Attorney William H. Lang
don filed petition for q writ of man
date with the supreme court yester-
day, asking that auditor John A. Kos
ter be cited to show cause why he
should not pay the salaries of Special
Agent william ]. Burns and his as
sistants. The petition recites that TIL,
services of Burns and his agents are
absolutely necessary to the office of the
district attorney. and that unless they
are paid their salaries the district at
torneys office will be in a crippled
condition.
There is no other plain adequate
or speedy remedy than the order from
the supreme court reads the petit
ton. "The auditor does not claim that
the demand is illegal, but arbitrarily
refuses to audit the accounts, and by
so doing Is seriously hampering the
work of the Office of the district at
torney
''If he is opposed to the graft prose
cution." continues the petition, "he has
no right to use his powers as auditor
improperly, as a means of preventing
success Of. such prosecutions.
The petition gives the history or the
passing of the ordinance by the board
of supervisors. which provided the fund
for Burns and his agents, and cites the
fact that from the time the ordinance
was passed until recently the auditor
has audited the demands without any
objection or comment.
The court did not act on the peuion
Yesterday, but will probably do so this
afternoon. Langdon asks that an al
Tentative writ issue against the re-
snondent, ordering him either to audit
the demands or to show cause why he
should not do so.
