her room. She testified that she had
heard Mrs. Brokaw venture on mild
profanity, and one of her tasks was
to clean cigarette stubs out of Mrs.
Brokaws bath room.
DIR. Robert Pou testified. that he had
heard Mrs. Brokaw tell her husband
to "go to h" and that she had ap-
piled to him one of the epithets which
she complained in her testimony he
had applied to her-"a - liar"
During his testimony Woods, the
butler, said he made about ten cock
tails a day at the direction of Miss
Marie Lee, the. nurse. He was asked
If Miss Lee drank these cocktails.
Not in my presence" the witness re-
piled. "She usually took them in the
direction of Mrs. Brokaw's room"
DIR. Robert Pou, at one time Mr..
Brokaws physician, testified to the ap-
parent happiness of the couple in 1908.
On a later occasion, DR.. Pou testified,
he met Mrs. Brokaw wandering about
the corridor of a New York hotel about
1 o'clock in the morning.
Suspicious of Husband
When he asked her what she was
doing there, he testified that she said:
"I am looking for my husband. / am
Suspicious vi llllli Ou hllOW AOhliNA
him once in a bath room with a nurse"
At another time, when Mrs. Brokaw
was angry with her husband, DIR. Pou
testified that he heard her call Mr..
Brokaw a liar.
Dr. Pou told of the occasion when he
was on his way from Europe with Mr.
and Mrs. Brokaw, and the latter he
said, got all the mail for the immediate
party and kept it in her state room
for ten hours, refusing to give it up.
Mrs. BroKaw moved uneasily in her
seat and took copious notes during DR..
Pou's testimony. When recess came
she rushed back of the jury box and
confronted the physician.
"Oh, Doctor, why did you say all
that? Did you not know that mail was
two cablegrams for Mr.. Brokaw? You
said l started the quarrels. oh, OH"
There, there" her counsel admon-
ished her; don't make a scene, Mrs,
Rrokaw."
"Oh, it's terrible, such misstatements
and charges that I whipped maids, and
then all this. I'm so sick, Mr.. Bald
win," Mrs. Brokaw cried.

MINING PROMOTER TAKEN
TO JAIL ON FRAUD CHARGE
|. r. Landis Accused of Selling Thou
sands of Shares of Stock Through
Misrepresentation

l. r. Lands, a we'll known mining
promoter and who claims ownership
of large mining properties near Search
light and Phoebe, New, was arrested
at the entrance to the Hollenbeck hotel
yesterday by Deputy Sheriff Claude
Mathewson and was taken to the county
Jail to await his arraignment in Justice
Lings court today on a charge of OBJ
tanning $500 In money and property by
false representations.
The complaint against Lands was
sworn to before Deputy District Attof-
ney Keyes several days ago by a.
Wasman, who says he bought $1,000
shares of stock of the ncoln-Neyada
Mining and Milling company from
Lands August 26, 1909, paying $500.
Representations, he says, were made by
Lands that the property was excep-
tionally valuable and that large
quantity of ore, asaying $50 ton, was
sacked ready for shipment. These
statements, he says, he learned on in
vestigation were false.

The search was continued through

1t appears that all employees have

Is More Than
$4,000
fAssociated Pressl


NEW YORK, Dec. 21,-"What it
costs to defend a separation suit in
high life," is the title of a statement
given out at Mineola, l.. l., today by
counsel for w. Gould Brokaw, whose
wife is suing him for separation with
alimony of 100000 a year. The tabu-
lated items follow:
Stenographers' Iainutes ..........,.. $4,000

II will show" added John r. Nc
Intyre, Brokaws lawyer, that Mr..
Brokaw's income is not 100000 year.
He has been a generous spender, a
prince of hosts; he has never engaged
in any regular business, and his in
come has dwindled greatly"
Mr.. Brokaw did not take the stand
in his own defense today, though he
was prepared.
Husband Finds Friends
For half an hour before Justice Put
nam mounted the bench the over
wrought husband paced the graVei
walk in front of the court house, ap-
parently rehearsing testimony he ex-
pected to give. But when court con-
vened there was change of plans.
Buffers, maids and more of the many
physicians employed to tune the
tangled nerves of the alienated couple
testified for the husband.
For the first time since the trial be-
gan Mrs. Brokaw was plainly dis
turbed and anxious. Her mother, Mrs.
James A. Blair, is severely i'll with
pneumonia at Westchester her health
undermined by the publicity of the
trial, and the continued mention of
cigarettes and cocktails in the evidence
plainly irritated the plaintiff.
Sydney Woods, a butler, who swore
yesterday that somebody lashed Mrs.
Brokaw's maid, Miss Lee, with horse
whip and that Mrs. Brokaw knew
who" testified today that he usually
mixed cocktails daily for Miss Lee, who
disappeared with them in the direction
of Mrs. Brokaw's room.

WRIGHT RETURNS
WITH ODD TALE
tContInued from PAGE one,

Hammell. 1T North Los Robles ave-
nue., and his wish was complied with.
His coming was absolutely unex-
pected by his uncle and aunt. The
young man was taken into the house,
placed upon a couch and then he
broke down completely, crying for
hours. His father and mother were
summoned and DR.. George e. Abbott
was called to treat his wounds.
Young Wright at first refused to
allow the physicians to examine his
wounds at all, claiming that they had
been treated and dressed right along.
There is a question even yet as to
whether DR.. Abbott has actually seen
the wounds, DR.. Abbott refusing abso-
lutely to talk. This gives rise to the
speculation that the wounds may not
the boy is wounded is evident from the
fact that young Wright's clothing is
stained with blood, while fresh blood
is upon his shoes and there are two
holes in his trousers which look as
though they had been made by bullets.
Constable viii Investigate
Absolutely no information is forth
coming at the residence on Los Robles
tin, who has had charge of the case,
will interrogate the young man to-
morrow and try and make him tell the
whole truth about the mysterious af-
fair, including the giving of the names
of the assailants.
There is a strong feeling in Pasadena
that Wright may have inflicted the
wounds himself to bear out his story
but if this is true it is hard to account
for the fact that the youths mouth
appears to have been repeatedly struck
heavy blows.
Before lapsing into silence regarding
his strange disappearance Wright de-
MED emphatically that there is any
girl in the case. He refuses to tell
why the men should have made the all
legged assault, merely saying that he
"knew and talked too much"
Appearances deal many body blows
to Wright's story. In the first place,
he has no appearance of having re-
ceived hospital treatment anywhere
The clothing he wore when he disap-
peared he had on when he returned.
There was fresh blood upon his shoes,
which may, of course, have come from
his walking and breaking open un-
healed wounds. He has not explained
how he was allowed to telegraph and
write when he was not permitted his
freedom,
Letters from San Francisco

grim to Valley Forge in search of
sights and relics of the historic camp,
perhaps the most hallowed OF our
revolutionary reminders, was obliged
to tramp over fields of none too
friendly farmers and be constantly an
noyed by signs warning of trespass-
ers. Apart from which, the fatigue
of such a trip was great, as there
were no roads leading over the camp
ground and no signs marking che way
TO the historic spots, only fields of
waving grain or woodlands over
grown with underbrush. Consequent
ly the hardest kind of walking over
the steep hills was required to view
but a few of the sights. Only the
young and physically robust were
therefore able TO enjoy the pleasures
Of Valley Forge.
Through the untiring efforts of
number Of patriotic men, all this has
been changed and the state of Penn
sylvania has been induced to assume
and complete a task which was first
offered and refused by the federal
government, although the undertake
ing was clearly within its province, as
the camp ground of Valley Forge is
a relic which should belong not only
10 Pennsylvania, but TO the entire
nation. as every patriotic American
must wish for its preservation and
would feel proud in being part owner.
But whether by Pennsylvania or the
national government, ii must be at
least gratifying to the nation to learn
that the neglect of century has been
atoned for, and under the able and
enthusiastic direction of the Valley
Forge Park commission, work of al
most incalculable historical value has
been done on the bleak heights above
the Schuylkill to which Washington
barefoot army cravled when the de-
feat of Germantown left them no
other refuge.
Fort Washington and Fort Hunting
ton have been restored. An iron tow
er 1O5 feet in height for observation
purposes is being finished on Mount
Joy, and from this tower not only
brdseye view of the entire camp
ground and beautiful surrounding
country can be had, but also Philadel-
phia, 90 miles distant. can be made
