.LUMMIS SILENT
REGARDING WIFE
Author Refuses to Reply to His
SpOuse'S Statement of
Marital InfeliCities
WILL NOT ATTACK A WOMAN
Friends Relate Story of the Two
Matrimonial Exploits of
Gifted Man

Apparently Mrs. c. F. Lummis, wife
of the former city librarian, must
carry the fight for freedom from mar
ital bonds which she is said to be
contemplating into the home of her
distinguished husband in the Arroyo
Seco. AS he said Wednesday, he
scorns to fight woman. Therefore
he will not meet her half way. Mr..
Lunnmis has become reticent. From
simile and metaphor, used almost flip
PANTY, he has withdrawn to silence
and meditation.
"I have no statement of any kind
to make" said Mr.. Lummis last night
in answer to an inquiry regarding the
suit for divorce likely to be instituted
by his wife at San Francisco. Further
than that he would say nothing except
that should his attorney deem a state
ment advisable he might make one
later, although his personal inclination
was to say nothing at ALL
II do not favor attacking a woman
under any circumstances he added,
land in a case like this it is better,
perhaps, for the man to keep silent,
however unjustly he may be accused. "
DR.. Lummis was seen by a Herald
reporter at the unique western home
he built for himself on early American
lines in East Avenue Forty-three.
He is engaged in literary work, pre-
pairing new manuscript and attending
to his forthcoming books which will
appear next year.
WIFE NOT SOLE INSPIRATION
Friends of the historian and former
public librarian deny that his present
wife was his sole inspiration for the
work which has made him an author
ity on the history of early America
and for his literary reputation.
1.-THE first Mrs. Lummis and DR..
Lummis were always great chums, and
1 think they still have the highest re-
gard for one another" said a man VINO
has known the family for many years.
Before his second marriage Lummis
was already famous and ranked high
in literary reputation. His trip across
the country, of which The Herald
speaks, was a camera trip, and re-
suited in a remarkable collection OF
Photographic negatives.
"My understanding Is that the wire
who is said to be suing for divorce
was introduced to Mr.. Lummis by his
first wife, who sent her to take care
of him while he was suffering from a
stroke of paralysis. / think that the
three have always been the best OF
friends, and I do not believe that
there has been any such scandal as
the papers have limited.
''When Lummis came back from
New Mexico he constructed his home
with his own hands, aided only by the
labor of Indians he brought back with
him. The window glass is made from
some of the most remarkable neg
atives ever made in America, and in
other ways the house has the stamp
of its builders strong individuality"

MRS. KRAUSS ASKS
CASE CONTINUED
Postpone Hearing of Woman Ac-
CuSed of Shooting Mining
Man to Oct. 25
SUFFERS NERVOUS COLLAPSE
Prisoner Says She Is. Physically
Unable to Stand Ordeal
eof a Trial
SUFFERS NERVOUS COLLAPSE

Dressed in a tailor made suit of
pearl gray with gray suede pumps and
a turban to match, Mrs. Daisy Turney
Krauss appeared before Police Judge
williams yesterday afternoon for her
preliminary hearing on a charge of
assault with deadly weapon with In
tent to commit murder. On her dec
laration that she was physically un-
able to 60 through the trying ordeal
of q hearing, the case was continued TO
October 25 at 10 o'clock, in the Uni
Verslty police court.
Mrs. Krauss, who is the niece or
Governor Pete Turney of tennessee
and former wife of DR.. William Krauss,
a noted bacteriologist of Memphis,
Tenn, is accused of shooting Franklin
H. Griffith, mining man of this city,
in his offices in the Story building on
the morning of September 12. Grif-
fifth was shot through the arm ana
quickly recovered from his injuries.
Mrs. Krauss has been in the city
Jail since her arrest the day of the
shooting, being unable to furnish $3OOO
cash bail. For several days police sur
geons from the receiving hospital have
been attending her They announced
preceding the hearing yesterday that
she was unable to go through the or
deal and that she was suffering from
a nervous collapse She appeared in
court in answer to a summons but re-
manned there only a few minutes and
then hurried back over the bridge OF
sighs" to the matron's department of
the Jail. She was accompanied by
Matron Gilbert.
WILL PRODUCE LETTERS
Fred X. Spring and George M. Har-
ker have been retained as her counsel
and appeared in court yesterday. They
announced they would consume an en-
tire day with the defense, while Deputy
District Attorney Arthur Veitch, who
is prosecuting the case, stated that the
people have several hundred letters
which they intend to introduce In evil
dence.
From all indications, the life of Mrs.
Krauss before she met Griffith, as we'll
as her movements after they were in
troduced at the Angelus hotel year
ago, will be revealed Also the alleged
blackmailing schemes of Mrs. Krauss
will be aired.
Griffith sat in one corner of the court
room, surrounded by business associ-
ates, while Mrs. Krauss took a seat at
the attorneys table near the door lead
ing back into the jail.
Countess Aurella Bethlen, a Hungart-
an exponent of Bahaism, visited Mrs.
Krauss in the city jail before she went
into court. She did not go into court,
however.

GIRL DENIES INTENT
TO SHOOT MILLIONAIRE
4 Love Him Too Much to Have
Pulled Trigger Cries
Miss Gibson in Jail

With quivering lips and tear-glisten-
ing eyes, Miss Julia Ward Gibson. held
in the county jail in default of $4,000
bail on charge of assault with a
deadly weapon on A. d. Myers, mill
lionaire mining man, related her trou-
bles yesterday and told how, when all
pleadings and arguments had failed,
Long Beach wednesday night. She
denied any intent to shoot Myers.
No sooner had Miss Gibson entered
the visitors room in the county Jail
than she burst into tears. Between
sobs and in brave attempt to re-
strain her tears, she said:
"I love him too much to have ever
pulled the trigger. He knows it and
they all know it.
1T is awfully hard to hear a man
that you love, one who has promised
to make you happy with marriage, say
that he intends to marry another the
next day. That kind of talk hurts
He thinks that it Is a matter of money
with me, but it is not so; 1 love him."
Miss Gibson obtained a marriage Ii
cense to marry Alva De Witte Myers
before she went to the Myers home
The license gives her age as q and
Myers as 40.
The trouble between the two was
first brought to the attention of the
public in February, when Miss Gibson
filed a suit for $4,000 damages for
alleged breach of promise.
The preliminary hearing Of Miss Glib
son will be held this morning in JUS
tlce S. H. Underwood's court at Long
Beach. Doubt is expressed by some
that the assault charge can be sus-
tanned, although Miss Gibson displayed
a weapon,

SUPREME COURT ALLOWS
JUDGE EXTEND PROBATION

The states supreme court handed
down an opinion yesterday holding
that a superior judge may extend the
time of probation of defendant for
the violation of his parole.
The opinion came with the denying
of a writ of habeas corpus In the case
of ]. M. Sizelove. Sizelove was placed
on probation for two years for bur-
glary, but before that time expired
was arrested for violating his parole.
The judge extended his probation two
years and he was again arrested for
the same. offence.
The writ was demanded by Sizelove's
attorneys on the ground that the su-
perior judge lost control of the case
after the expiration of the first two
years. The writ was denied.
