DIVORCE BRINGS
SUIT FOR PROPERTY
Mrs. Mary Hay Claims Community In-
terest in Estate Estimated
to Be Worth
100000

Following a long and sensational
trial, in which the wife secured di-
vorce from her husband on the ground
of extreme cruelty, Mrs. Mary Hay
commenced suit before Judge HerVey
of the superior court yesterday morn
ing against her former husband to Sc
cure a half of his wealth as COM
munity property. He is prominent
Los Angeles real estate man, and the
plaintiff estimates that he is worth
100000.
The whole of yesterday was occupied
in examining witnesses of different
business transactions mostly from
hearsay, the plaintiff and defendant
both being called to the stand. During
her examination by Attorney Simon
Seward for the defendant, Mrs. Hay
rebuked the lawyer for addressing her
abruptly in demanding a reply to his
questions.
The witness, who, during the trial
was termed an aspirant for social hon
ors, indicated that the proceedings in
court be in a friendly and business
like manner. In asking her about the
storage of furniture and business deals
during her early married life, Mrs. Hay
delayed in answering, and the attorney
repeated his questions sharply. She
refused to answer, and looking straight
at the attorney said:
"Mr. Seward. 1 must request that you
address me as you would address a
lady"
Nothing daunted, the attorney re-
sumed his examination and the tedious
trial proceeded. 1t Is expected that the
case will be drawn out for several
days.

STORY OF HOLDUP
DECLARED FALSE
SHERIFF GOES IN SEARCH OF
MYTHICAL F00TPADS
RANcHER ADMITS BEATING HEIs-
TER FOR INSULTING WOMEN
Injured Man, Who Claimed to Have
Been Robbed of $61, Will
Have to Explain
Report

Sheriff Hammel returned from Ros-
coe yesterday, where he went with
several deputies Wednesday night in
search of three alleged highwaymen
who were supposed to have held up
Peter Heister, only to declare that the
story was a fake.
According to a telephone communl-
cation received at the sheriff's office
yesterday, Hester, who says he is
machinist i'm Los Angeles, went to the
home of Albert Maeder, a rancher Nv
ing near Roscoe, four miles beyond
Burbank, in an intoxicated condition
and made a disturbance by insulting
the women of the house. Maeder, VINO
is a six-footer, states that after tell
ing Heister to get out of the house.
which he refused to do, he beat him
up and gave him rs cents with which
to come to Los Angeles
When Heister arrived in Los Angeles
he went TO the county Jail and told
George Gallagher, deputy sheriff, that
he had been held up, beaten and
robbed of SCI. His nose was broken
and his head was badly beaten and
lacerated. He was sent to the receiV-
ing hospital for treatment and later
removed to his home at 1431 South
Flower street.
Following the beating and robbing of
Mrs. w. II. Thompson in her home
on the San Fernando road Monday
night and the shooting of Mrs. Henry
c. stephens in her home in the same
vicinity Tuesday night, when the news
of the holdup was told by Heister the
sheriff's office became aroused and a
determined effort was made to rid
the county of all suspicious charac-
ters. Sheriff Hammel, who was COM
municated with and told the facts
which had been stated by Hester, i'm
mediately left for the place of the sup
posed holdup.
Owing to the serious condition of
Heister as a result of his encounter
with Maeder, it was impossible for him
to be brought to the sheriff's office to
explain his reasons for telling the fake
story. 1t is thought that he will be
able to be taken to the sheriff's office
today
Mrs. Stephens, who was shot Tues
day night by two robbers after they had
bound and gagged T. F. Garvey, and
who was brought to the Sisters hos
pital yesterday, is reported as resting
easily, although her condition is still
serious.
No new clews have been discovered
as to the identity of the highwaymen
who have placed the residents of San
Fernando and the surrounding coun-
try in constant fear.

PRETTY WOMAN
DECLARED THIEF
DETECTIVES ACCUSE WIDOW
OF SH0PLIFTING
CHARGE STORES VIcTlMIZED BY
NOVEL METHOD
Indignant, Prisoner Denies Swindle
When Questioned-Man Is Held,
Charged with Receiving
Stolen Goods

Mrs. Anna Nicholson Scott, pretty and
demure, believed by the police to have
committed many thefts from the large
department stores in this city, was
arraigned in Police Judge Frederick
sons court yesterday on a charge of
shoplifting preferred by Private Detect
i've Nick Harris. Her preliminary hear
ing was set for today
A man giving the name of II. Linden,
with whom Mrs. Scott was living at
the Lovejoy apartments in Hill street,
was arrested yesterday afternoon and
charged with receiving stolen goods.
Linden, the police say, is not the mans
real name. He comes of good family
and has a daughter who is a student at
one of the fashionable seminaries in
the state.
Harris arrested Mrs. Scott Tuesday
in a downtown store. At the time of
her arrest she had in her possession
several valuable hand bags, one of
them valued at 500.
An hour previous to her arrest she
had an argument with the manage
ment of Bullock's department store
over the return of a black purse from
the claims" department 1t was
through this dispute that evidence
leading to her arrest was obtained. Her
method of operation is said by the
crest in police annals. The woman, the
police say, would appear at a store
with a purse that had been stolen the
same day and would take 1t to the
claims department, requesting that her
money be refunded as she had bought
the purse several months ago and her
husband had died in the meantime
leaving her almost penniless. Making
a pretty picture, dressed in black ana
with tears streaming down her cheeks,
the management invariably Weakened
and in exchange for the purse gave her
its retail value. Tuesday she entered
Bullock's with a purse that had been
reported stolen. They refused to eX-
change it for her, and openly accused
her of its theft. The woman indlg-
nantly denied having taken 1t, and de-
clared she would go at once to police
Headquarters and force the store to re-
turn the article to her. The declara-
ton stunned the claim agent, and while
he was pondering over her case she
swept haughtlly from the room. The
police and private detectives were at
once nouaded, and within an hour she
was arrested while operating, the po-
lice saw, in other fields.
Mrs. Scott confessed last night 70
having stolen two pictures from the
bedroom wall of the Westminster no
tel. Outside of this she maintains a
discreet silence.

MAN AND WIFE FACE
TRIAL FOR MURDER
George A. and Clara Stone Arraigned
on Charge of Killing Morgan
ShiVeley at San
Gabriel

George. A. Stone and his wife, Clara
Stone, were arraigned in the criminal
court before Judge Davis yesterday
afternoon on the charge of numbering
Morgan Shively, a Pacific Electric
conductor, at their home in San Gabriel
last New Years eve. Both pleaded
not guilty, and their trial, which Is ex-
pected TO require two weeks, will COM
mence Monday, May g. at 10 o'clock.
Attorney Jud Rush for the defense
presented a demurrer to the complaint
on the ground that the latter did not
state facts sufficient to show that the
defendants had committed the offense.
Judge Davis, however. decided diff
ferantly and overruled the demurrer,
The attorney then demanded sepa-
rate trials upon the application of
Clara Stone for a severance. This was
granted, as Deputy District Attorney
Keyes made no objection. The delay
in trying the case resulted from a re-
quest by Attorney Rush for six or
seven weeks time in which to secure
number of depositions for the de-
fense.

MEXICO DISCRIMINATES
AGAINST U. S. IMPORTS
Banker Declares Duty on American
Wines Is Practically ProhlbItive.
France Controls Trade

The Mexican tariff Is hindering the
trade between the west coast of Mex
leo and the United States materially,
according to j. NJ. Elliott, president of
the First National bank of Los Ange-
les, who has just returned from ten
days trip along the coast of the south
ern republic. The trade relations be-
tween California and the MeXicans are
good where certain commodities are
concerned, says the bnaker, and local
merchants have a fairly large business
down there, but determinations are
made by the tariff against some Amer
lean goods which is keeping business
from growing very rapidly.
Take the tariff on wines as an in
stance" said Mr.. Elliott yesterday.
THE price an American merchant has
to pay to get wines into Mexico is
double that which a French merchant
is compelled to pay to import his
wares. For this reason the French
control the wine trade of Mexico, and
the American merchants have no trade
there whatever"
Mr.. Elliott was accompanied on his
trip to Mexico by his son, ]. M. Elliott,
jr., who has extensive property inter-
estS there.

WOMAN DECLARES SHE
IS II. WILEY'S WIFE
Would-Be Suicide Is Attended by Per-
son Who Telephoned Hotel
of Mans Intention
to Die

"I am married to Mr.. Wiley, and
that is all you can get out of me"
shouted the woman who telephoned to
the Lankershim hotel Wednesday
evening, warning the clerk there that
II. X. Wiley, a guest of the house, was
about to commit suicide in his room,
when seen yesterday at her home, SAT
West Tenth street. The woman was
behind a locked door and refused to
see anyone. She admitted that Wiley
was in the house with her and that
his condition was rapidly improving,
but first and foremost of all she want
ed ii distinctly understood that she
was married to him.
DIR. o. M. Justice attended Wiley
from the time he was discovered un-
conscious on the floor of his room until
late yesterday morning. Heroic efforts
on the physicians part saved the life
of the would-be suicide, as he had
swallowed a great quantity of the
poison.
He recovered sufficiently to be moved
by noon yesterday and was taken to
the fiat on West Tenth street. where
he and his wife locked themselves in
and refused to see anyone.
Mrs. Wiley refused yesterday to tell
how long she had been in Los Angeles
or anything else in regard to her past
history She would not say when she
and Wiley were married or where. but
repeatedly affirmed that a marriage
ceremony had taken place. She also
stated that her husband would explain
all as soon as he was able to do so,
and that until then nothing would be
made public.
Mrs. Wiley also denied that she had
any knowledge of another woman who
called Wiley husband in the east. The
mere mention of any of the unpleasant
facts in connection with the affair was
enough to cause her to weep.

FLAGMAN SAYS LIGHTS
WILL PREVENT WRECKS
Railroad Employe Declares Accidents
at Crossings Are Due
to Darkness

Instead of erecting traffic gates at
the dangerous crossings at Also
street, where the Oak Knoll Pacific
Electric car was wrecked by a Salt
Lake freight train Tuesday night, the
city council should compel the rail-
roads to put in a series of electric
lights in order that flagmen might see
moving trains approaching, according
to w. r. Craig, day flagman at the
crossings If this were done, in Graig's
opinion, the men who guard the cross
ings would have no trouble in know
ing just when and where all trains
were coming and going and such acci-
dents as the one of Tuesday night
would be avoided.
Electric lights should be pleced be-
side the Salt Lake freight house." said
Craig last evening. 1T is terribly dark
in this one spot and even on clear
nights have had hard work making
out whether a train was approaching
the crossing or not. On foggy nights
it is impossible to tell. If the lights
were installed we would have no
further trouble"

Yeggmen Enter Station by Breaking
in Door-Funds of Company
Not Kept at Depot

The safe in the Southern Pacific sta
ton at Norwalk was blown open
Wednesday night by thieves, but owing
to the fact nothing of value is ever
kept in the little station over night
no loot was secured.
The burglars gained entrance to the
building by beating in the door. AFTER
thew discovered that the safe contained
no booty they scattered the papers and
other articles they found over the
floor and mutilated things generally.
Owing to the isolated position of the
station at Norwalk the agent does not
leave his funds in the safe but takes
them to his home with him.
Miles Bowler, chief of detectives for
the railroad, sent one of his men to
make an investigation of the affair
Yesterday. The officials of the road
have no clew as to who committed the
crime.
