CROWS0N DIVORCE
WITHOUT CONTEST
Agreement Being Drawn
Up Whereby Wife Will
Be Unopposed

An agreement is being drawn UP
by means Of which Edward A. Crow
son, manager of the Western Light
ing company in Oakland will permit
his wife, Mrs. Mary e. Crowson. to
obtain a decree of divorce without
contest.
This was admitted this morning by
j. j. Rose, attorney for Mrs. Crowson,
as well as by Crowson himself.
The agreement so far Is only tenta-
tive and both sides refuse to state
what disposition would be made Of
the property and the child.
Their marital difficulties have at
tracted attention since Crowson sued
his wife on charges of cruelty two
weeks ago. At about the same time
Mrs. Florehce Hinkel, prominent in
east bay social circles, brought suit
against Lewis Hinkel. a prominent
cIubman and stock broker, also al
leging cruelty.
AS soon as Mrs. Crowson was served
with his complaint she filed sensa-
tional answer, accusing Mrs. Hinkel
of being too friendly with Crowson
and naming several expeditions which
she claimed Mrs. Hinkel and Crow
son had taken together.
Mrs. Hinkel declared that the
charges were without foundation and
announced her intention of suing
Mrs. Crowson for $4,000 for slander.
Mrs. Hinkel said today that she had
not changed her mind about fling
this suit and would probably bring
