rage.
The plaintiff testified that they
were married at $50 In the evening
February l, and shortly after the GER
emohy parted. They met again Feb
ruary 3, and Wavreck came to the
plaintiffs home and asked her 10
press a coat for him. While the work
was IN progress note fell from the
coat, which Mrs. LANG Wavreck
read. 1t proved TO be receipt from
Attorney Edward Grece, showing
that her supposed husband had paid
the lawyer $29 a few days before to
start suit for divorce from his first
wife. This receipt was shown to Wav-
reck and he admitted, the plaintiff
testified, that he already had a wife.
He told me then that he loved
me so much he was willing TO run
the risk OF prosecution for bigamy to
get me, and he didn't want to walt for
divorce for fear he would lose me"
wife No testified.
Mrs. Eva Sales, tall, stately, hand.
some and stylishly attired, gave a
stirring description OF the occasion,
when her husband, Walter Sales. drew
revolver and threatened to Kill her.
He had been drinking at the time.
and on these occasions was always Ig-
ly. She said. The threat was made
in the cafe connected with Frank
Reaume, saloon, where the Sales
pair, with some friends, had dropped
in for refreshments. The sight OF the
revolver caused small panic among
the persons present. and Frank
Reaume, the proprietor, a witness for
the wife. told how he played the part
of the hero and wrenched the gun
from the angry husband.
Mrs. Sales also told how her hus-
band now a salesman in AlonZo l..
Harris butter store, would come home
late at night in an intoxicated condi-
ton. She tracked her husband one
night and found that he had been
driving with a high school girl. Only
the desire to shield the girl prevent
ed a serious charge being made
against him, she said. She was given
q decree.
The comedy of Saturdays session

Donald, who was introduced as wit
ness in the case OF William va. Eva
Rodenberg. William charged that his
wife had deserted him and Mcdonald
was brought In to tell what he knew.
The witness made his way to the
stand somewhat unsteadily, but he
could manage his tongue better than
his legs and his story and the man.

room and she was sitting on his lap
and she threw her arms about his
