DECREE GIVES
GRUNDY DIVORCE
BEACH AUTO DEALER OBTAINS
LEGAL SEPARATION
Claim That Wife Threatened Him
with Revolver and Treated Him
Cruelty Is Sustained
in Court

Judge Moss in the superior court
yesterday granted a decree of divorce
to John Russell Grundy, who several
weeks ago brought suit against his
wife, Mary Louise Grundy, for legal
separation on the ground of cruelty.
Grundy is i'm the automobile business
al Long Beach.
The case was contested by Mrs.
Grundy, who denied her husbands al
legations that she discharged reVol-
yer i'm his direction August 49, 1908,
and that she handled the same weapon
i'm threatening manner June 26 of
this year while he was seated on the
porch of his parents home IN the beach
city, Following the last named incl
dent. Mrs. Grundy was arrested on n
charge of threats to kill, but this case
was later dismissed in Judge Davis
department of the criminal court.
The Grundys were married in May,
1908, the first quarrel between them, so
far as court records go, occurring
three months later, when, according to
the husband Mrs. Grundy ordered him
to leave their homo at 445 Magnolia
street. Long Beach. While willing to
comply with this order, he stated, he
thought It best TO take with him his
comb. brush, razor and few other
articles from his dresser. Glancing
into the mirror, he said, he saw his
wife standing behind him with drawn
revolver.
II told her rather than have any
trouble / would leave without my
things" said Grundy. "As l closed the
outer door behind me I heard shot
fired. and later found a bullet hole
in the panel of the door"
About the same time. testified Grun-
dy, his wife unjustly accused him OF
stealing a ticket to the Ebell society
luncheon.
Grundy said he left his wife early
in June of this year. and on June 26
his wife called at the home OF his
parents, 905 Chestnut avenue, Long
Beach, and after few words drew a
revolver from her hand bag and flour
ished it i'm a threatening manner, using
words befitting the occasion.
The day in the divorce court was
again taken up in the contested case
of Harry p Chapman against his wife,
Laura Frances Chapman. For this
reason two cases scheduled to be tried
by Judge Houser were transferred to
Judge Hutton's court where DEGREES
were granted to Dorothy Blow from
Harry T. Blow and Mlrandy NJ. Rob-
erts from Joseph r. Roberts.
One suit was filed, George A. Ed
mison against Lizzie Edmison.
