tions in Document RepIete
With Sensations


fake doctor; that many times since
their marriage in January 1909, he has
beaten and kicked his wife until her
limbs became black and blue; that he
belabored her over the head with.a tel
ephone receiver, while his mother dug
her finger nails into the wife's flesh;
that Lampe boasted of his amours with
married and other women, some of
whom are identified by the names
stella Ella" and "Ether'-these are
some of the charges made by Mrs.
Lampe yesterday in her answer to the
divorce complaint of the beauty doctor.
Mrs. Lampe does not deny shooting
her husband in the head August 2S,
1909. but explains that she was in a
frenzy of fear because her husband
brandished an open razor and threat
ened TO Kill her. She fatty contradicts
Lampe's assertion that he signed a
statement generating his wife from
blame because of his intense love for
her and because he believed she might
be prosecuted for. murder. His real
reason, Mrs Lampe affirms, was be-
cause he was in fear of impending
death and did not want, TO appear be-
fore his Maker with lie upon his lips.
DOCTOR EXTREMELY JEALOUS
The cross complaint recites at length
the circumstances preceding and at
tending the shooting of Lampe. They
had been out looking for room and
upon their return chanced to meet a
male acquaintance in the street and
stopped TO talk few minutes. Lampe
is extremely jealous, hrs wife alleges,
and upon reaching the Holland hotel.
where they lived, flew into violent
rage and charged her with flirting.
Fearing the repetition of scene of
few days before, Mrs. Lampe went to
the telephone but her husband, she al
leges, picked up the receiver and
struck her with such force that it was
broken. To escape from him, Mrs
Lampe says, she got under the bed
Lampe sprang toward her, brandishing
an opening razor and threatening TO
kill her. In a frenzy of fear and not
realizing just what she was doing. she
grabbed a pistol and instinctively
pointed it-at Lampe. When he was al
most upon her the pistol was dis
charged and Lampe was wounded Mrs.
Lampe says she does not know exactly
how it happened. Her husband was SO
close upon her, she asserts, that his
forehead was covered with powder
marks. She. denies that the shooting
was either willful, malicious or inten-
tional.
PUNCHES AND KICKS
The tale of a trip to Stockton that
was never completed is told at length
in the cross complaint. In April, 1909
while in the Stockton boat, Lampe
became incensed at what he regarded
as undue attention TO his wife on the
part of waiter and in their state
room Lampe attacked her with fists
and feet and kicked her vio-
lently in the abdomen" AT TINS
time, she says she was IN
delicate state of health. She re-
fused to continue the trip to Stock
ton. and got off at the next landing.
Lampe took all her money, the wife
states. and refused to pay her way
at hotel, so she lay down on the
wharf. whereupon he brutally kicked
her and made her arise. She screamed
in pain, and the wharf keeper took
her into his shed, where she remained
until the boat returned to San Fran
cisco.
MOTHER HELPS son
Mrs. Lampe states that on May so,
1909, she was abused by both Lampe
and his mother wherupon she asked
for the key of the basement so she
could get her trunks and return home.
Lampe's mother told her il she did
not go she would throw her into the
street
please may ! phone to my brother
and ask him to take me to dinner If
| promise not to tell him what you
and your mother have done TO me@
she says she asked her husband. She
picked up the receiver for that pur-
pose. but states that Lampe took ii
from her and beat her with it while
his mother jumped on her and dug her
finger nails in her and scratched her
so that she bled profusely When
I.ampe saw the blood he told his
mother to stop it is stated. and then
gave his wife the key, laughing and
stating it was very funny.
LAMPE; 4 LOTHARIO
on frequent occasions I4ampe is ac-
cused of having boasted of his con-
quests OF married women, who he
said were in love with him. He
showed his wife flowers that .'Stella"
had sent him. and was particularly
proud of his rela tionship with Ella"
and Ethel both of whom are mar
ried, the cross complaint asserts.
certain telephone message, Lampe is
stated to have told his wife. was from
a woman who was in a shipwreck with
her husband, and who wished her hus-
band had been drowned so that she
could go away with Lampe.
The wife complains that ever since
their reconciliation following the
shooting Lampe has beaten her black
and blue. She asserts that he is not
a graduated, licensed or registered
physician or surgeon. and is quite ig-
norant of medicine and surgery, not
withstanding that he advertises him
self as the most eminent authority
on artistic featural remodeling" She
asks for 500 month alimony.
