In the eyes of the law, Mrs. b.

ABANDONED WOMAN.
She cannot get the pension.
She must give up her children and
accept charity as charity.
She has been a rather high
spirited woman.
Mrs. c. has seven dependent on
her. She drew $50 month.
With what she earned, it kept a
roof over all OF them.
She was divorced because her
husband was adjudged insane;
then was discharged as cured;
came back and threatened her;
and was RENTED.
She was afraid of him and 50
became a DIVORCED WOMAN.
That was in 1912 before he

never was able to forecast what
its wisdom would lead it to.
Now she must give up her chill

In this county there are 81

A Tacoma woman whom we
will call Mrs. A has three minor
children dependent on her.
She has come out of a hospital
but recently.
She is scarcely able to work
yet.
3 Until lately the county Of
Pierce has taken official notice of
her unfortunate lot. 1t has gone
on the theory that 1t is better to
pay her $25 a month to care for
her children than it is to support
an institution where they will be
cared for-away from the moth
err.
Now that theory has been re-
versed. The mother is no longer
entitled 10 a mothers pension.
She has committed a crime. She
is a DIVORCED WOMAN.
The grounds of her divorce
were that her husband had given

which she had to go to the hos

as charity from the county.

Either insanity or Just jeal-
ousy of the actions of a mysteri-
Gus Seattleite toward Mrs. Koenig
probably will be the defense of
George Koenig, Lake Taps
rancher, who is held in the county
jail on the charge of attacking his
wife with an ak.
In talking with Deputy Sheriff
Hopkins today, he charged that
man with whom his wife had
become acquainted while conduct
ing a clearinghouse in Seattle
had come into the little Lake
Taps home.
After 81 years of married life,
he said he became almost insanely
jealous of his wife.
Other actions of Koenig have
convinced both the sheriff's and
the prosecutors office that Koe
mig is suffering from insanity.
Deputy Prosecutor Cramer said
today that he was thinking seri-
ously of dropping the charge of
assault with intent to kill, and
to ask Tor the appointment or a
commission on lunacy.
The attack by Koenig on his
wife took place a week ago Sat-
urday. Then he took to the woods
with his shotgun and three shells.
Since that time he has lived like
wild man in the hills, defying
discovery and capture even when
bloodhound was put on his trail.
Finally hunger overcame him,
and early Sunday morning he Wis
tied the garden of his home. He
dug some radishes and other
roots. AS he bent over to pull
them from. the ground. the
