FOUND Sitting ON
KATY TRACKS DEAD
SAINT JOHN, OF ALSUMA, SAID
TO HAVE DIED or HEART
FAILURE.

Crouchcd on his knees with his
head buried in his arms, on the rail
of the Katy tracks, between Alsuma
and Broken Arrow, the body OF Saint
John, a white man, age 81, was found
at an early hour yesterday morning
by persons living near-the tracks. The
sheriff was hastily summoned, and
after examining the body and the sur
roundings, he reached the verdict that
the man came to his death from un-
known causes.
1t was the opinion of a physician
who examined the body that Saint
John came to his death from heart
failure. Not a mark could be found
on his body to indicate that he had
met any violence, and he was known
as a heavy drinker.
He ran small grocery store at AL
suma, and was last seen alive early
in the morning when he started across
the tracks to ostensibly purchase some
whisky from "A house nearby Little
is known of his relatives, and the
body is being held at Alsuma await
ing instructions for burial. lie had a
wife living in Chicago from whom he
had been separated. She was notified
of his death.

In the trial of his suit ,or divorce be-
fore Superior Judge Breckenridge
yesterday afternoon The case was
uncontested and Wingfield secured the
divorce.
The case was sensational IN the
extreme and especially so when

had tried to poison him, and how on
many occasions she had tried to en-
trap him into committing nduItry
with other women, i'm order to secure
grounds for divorce action, All
this, explained Wingficld tended to
greatly humiliate him, and caused
him much mental anguish
The Wingfields were married In
Little Rock, Ark, In 1929. According
to the testimony Of the husband, the
last four years have been living
hell for him. His wife has been dis
agreeable, contemptious and veXing;
