ACCUSED MARINER
MAY BE PAROLED
Captain John PringIe Arraigned
on Charge of ImpersOnat-
ing Revenue Officer

Captain John c. H. Pringle, former
master of the steamer Corcoran, who
was arrested Friday afternoon near
Granada after having eluded the gov
eminent sleuths for more than year,
was arraigned yesterday before United
States Commissioner H. NJ. Wright His
bonds were set at $500. He is charged
with impersonating a revenue officer.
At one time. Pringle, who is so years
old, was one of the best known master
mariners on the bay and the Sacra
mento and San Joaquin rivers. Sew
eral years ago he was deserted by his
wife, who went east, secured a divorce
and married again. Pringle seemed to
give up all interest in life, began drink
ing heavily and gradually disappeared
from among his old associates and he
was not heard of again until a year
ago last July, when. it was said he
was extorting money from the owners
of small boats in the neighborhood
OF Benicia by representing himself to
be revenue agent
According to his own story, Pringle
has been living the lonely life of a
fisherman at Pedro Terrace near
Granada. This is verified by residents
Of the small town on the Ocean Shore.
The old man admits having been TO
Benicia and surrounding towns sew
eral times, but says he will not have
any trouble proving his Innocence.
1t is possible that. taking. advantage
of the recent federal statute permit
ting Judges to parole first offenders,
the authorities will have Pringla re
leased on probation.

SERPENT BLAMED
FOR DIVORCE EVIL
Husband Answering Wife's Suit
Says Incident in Eden
Caused His Woes

An exhaustive religious and histor-
ical analogy of divorce by Frederick G.
Delker may have weight in deciding
the divorce suit begun against him by
his spouse Ethel v Delker
In answer to his wife's complaint,
which he placed on file yesterday,
Delker goes to the trouble of telling
the superior court all about the foun-
dation for divorce in religion and his
tory. Il do not believe in second
marriages. he wrote. 1T is the teach
ing taught to Eve by the anti Chris
tion Nahash, the black negro devil and
snake worshiper. and sex worshiper
in the garden of Eden, and which was
brought to Jerusalem by Davids
negroid wives. 1t is what is turning
the white Adamic Aryan race black. II
is destroying the home and family.
Therefore Delker prays that his wifes
petition for divorce be denied.
The pair were married in Oakland in
1905. Then they went to Philadelphia.
In 1909, said Delker, his wife came
to San Francisco to live with her
father. He followed month later, but
his spouse treated him in most cruel
and inhuman manner" he declared, be-
cause she insisted on living with her
parents.
Delker further asserted that his
wifess claim that he had not provided
for her was untrue because he bought
her ice cream and SIS worth of worm
medicine. The latter, he explained, was
bought in bulk because it came
cheaper.
