After living with her husband. | Francis NJ /. Tavlor. for less than a year, Mrs Ruby l. Taylor has filed suit for absolute divorce from him ill the Los Angeles county superior ! court. and another chapter to q pe- culiar sto-y of heart interest which touched Phoenix a year ago last November. has been added. This will be of interest to the readers of | The Republican owing to the furore over the arrest and detention of the
 man and his girl-wife in the city jail
 until such time as they were taken
 Lack to Los Angeles to answer to charges concerning some financial
 matters in which Taylor was then involved.
 The sight of the man some 55 or GO years of age, walking the streets
 with his strikingly handsome girl wife. who was then but scarcely more than 16 attracted a great deal
 of attention in this city for some time prior to the arrest of the couple At that time Taylor was employed
 by J. W. Stacy, a local real estate operato., and when arrested he
 claimed that had he been allowed his liberty for some few days more,
 being an expert land salesman, he
 would easily have made sufficient money to have put the couple on easy street.
 At that time the young girl, in spite of the peculiar story she told, seemed very much in love with her
 husband old enough to be her father, and was willing to stay in jail for
 him, and suffer for him if need be.
 However the story she tells in her
 complaint is of an entirely differ
 ent calihre to the devoton she show
 ed here
 The story Mrs. Taylor tells at present is something like this:
 When I arrived in Los Angeles
 from Atlanta. on November :, 1912, II was met at the station by my mother my sister, Mrs w. H. Jar .ett: brother-inl law, MT Taylor. and l a minister, whom l afterward learn ed was Rev. G. w. Foreman" Mrs f Taylor said yesterday afternoon. "A

In current issue of another Lo e Angeles paper the following story i t. carried relative to the matter: d Tn the suit she pictures Taylor a V something of an ogre In conversa l. ton she adds bits of color Alto n gether what she says is eXtraordin l. arily strange.
