WIFE LEARNS OF HUSBANDS
SECRET
Angered by spouse's Discovery, Man
Kicks Woman Out of Bed, Ac-
cording to Her Telephone
Information
fsnecial 70 The Herald. ]

Especial TO The Herald
LONG BEACH, Aug. 27-That her
husband, angered by her discovery Of
his reason for being a persistent fish
erman, kicked her out of bed and COM
PEELED her to sleep the rest of the night
on the floor, was part of story tele-
phOned to a newspaper reporter To-Day
by an excited woman in public tele-
phone booth. She refused to give her
name, although she said developments
might warrant it, and it was impos-
sible to learn, from people near the
booth who the woman was.
According to her story, poured forth
in tremulous tones, she went with her
husband last night, despite his pro-
tests, when he started for his usual
evening fishing jaunt to the outer
wharf. Shortly after reaching the pier
and rigging his tackle, he began to
suggest that his wife would better
start for home and get supper. She
refused and he insisted. At length,
after she had begun to marvel at his
increa sing nervousness, an auburn
haired woman, accompanied by small
boy in blue overalls, approached and
in a trice the woman had entered into
an animated conversation with the
fisherman.
The wife interposed and caused alb
rupt cessation of the conversation. She
insisted her husband accompany her
home and he did. He was still angry
when he went to bed, so the wife said
today and, as his anger grew, he
doubled up his legs and, putting his
knees against her back, boosted her
out of the bad. She lay on the hard,
hard floor until the birds at dawn did
sing from out their nests.
The woman who has been a greater
attraction than the fish lives, the vexed
wife said today, near Third street and
Atlantic avenue. I'm mad at my hus-
band. anyhow," she said. He hasn't
been paying his bills lately, even."
From this description, however, 1t
was impossible to identify him.
