OF HIS CONQUESTS
Nothing Could Be More Grossly
Insulting Says Superior
Judge Cabaniss
Alexis L. Spence, Optician,
Charged by His Wife With

Nothing could be more grossly in

Phillips, chauffeur
Testifying regarding her husband
Mrs. Phillips said:
He stayed out nights. drinking and
gambling. He ran around with other
women. l learned of this and taxed
him with it. He said it was true. that
he didn't care about my feelings and
that there were plenty of other women
OF whom he thought more than me-"

month alimony, together with her de-
cree of divorce.
SAW HIM FLIRTING
Alexis L: Spence, a member of
Spenees San Francisco optical COM
pany, was sued for divorce yesterday
by Ida B. Spence, who charged cruelty.
Her husband told her he no longer
loved her and that he had transferred
his affections to other women, stated
Mrs. Spence. Coming home very late
at night he is alleged to have said
to her: Il have been out with woman
and l am actually ashamed of myself
If l gave you all the details you would
no longer live with me-"
On two occasions Mrs. Spence saw
her husband talking to a strange
woman In Jefferson square. When she
asked him who the woman was he
replied. None of your business"
Spence earns $500 a month. and his
wife asks 500 a month aliniony.
There are no children. They were
married in Minnesota in April, 1895.
SHE HAD NO MONEY
The accusation that she hurled in
the face of her husband. Frank K.
Scofield, handful of real money was
repealed with scorn by Mrs. Laura E.
Scofield in an answer filed yesterday
to her husbands cross complaint for
divorce. Not only is it untrue that
she hurled the coin at Scofeld. she
asserts, but as a matter of fact she
had no money for that or any ether
purpose. her husband having kept her
moneyless.
Scofield is the owner of millinery
stores here and in Los Angeles. His
wife claims to have trapped him at
the Hotel Langham making love to
beautiful laundress. Scofields an
swer to this charge was that his wife
was drunk and had to be elected from
the hotel. Comes now the wife and
countercharges that Scofeld's state
ment is ''wickedly false" and that he
made it ION information and belief"
in order to escape conviction for willful
and corrupt perjury. The case Will be
tried at an early date.
