|, E. NUNNOLD TOO
 FOND OF MISS NEAR
 HIS WIFE DECLARES

Declaring her husband had been too attentive to Miss Minnie Near of this city, Georgianna Fisher Nunnold con- tested the divorce suit brought against her by Louis E.. Nunnold, the Fair field avenue tailor, when the action was tried before Judge Burpee in the superior court this morning. Mrs. Nunnold is now in Los Angeles, Cal, and her deposition was read in court. She claimed she had objected to her husbands attention to Miss Near but without avail. Mrs. Nunnold also testified that her husband often beat and choked her. Once, she declared, Nunnold jumped out of bed and chok- ed her as she slept.
 Nunnold Is bringing the suit on the ground of desertion. He claimed Mrs. Nunnold left him because the home he provided wasn't good enough for her exalted ideas. They were living in Iranistan avenue in 1903 when Mrs Nunnold first deserted the plain tiff. She sold his furniture and stored her own.
 Later he had a conference with her and it was agreed that they would try to live together again. After trial of two months Mrs. Nunnold left once more. She declared the place wasn't good enough, although Nun mold declared he was paying $15 week board
 The tailor said his wife was an ex- citable woman and that he frequent ly had diSagreementS with her. She because he didn't buy clothes enough for her and also kick ed because she didn't have a folding bed. Nunnold denied his wife asked him to care only for her and not shower attentions upon another wo- man.
 Judge Burpee took the papers.
