 WEES CHARGE

A letter written from the Rancho De Bum to Dear Patches" figured prominently in the divorce court yes- terday when Mrs. Zoe Pauline Halstead took the stand and testified as to her husbands alleged relations with other women, mentioning especially Mary Atkinson supposed to be a widow, whose letter to Ray Halstead was read into the evidence. Mrs. Atkinson's pho- tograph, which the wife found in her husbands trunk and post card photo- graph of the woman taken with young Halstead, were exhibits in the case, which will be concluded before Judge Stanford today.
 Mrs. Halstead claimed that her hus- band received the title of Patches because of the fact that he had worn patched B. V. D's. Halstead's statement that the name was taken from the fav- orite character in a best seller of a year or two ago provoked a scarcely suppressed litter in the court room that became almost laugh when P. H. Hayes, attorney for the plaintiff, asked MT. Halstead if he could see anything in the character of Patches-tha man of strong physical and mental qualities, | that could suggest himself?
 The defendant was asked to quote pdSSdSeS rom w lleN d Man d Man, but he was unable to remember even a | few lines of the book, the name of the | leading character of which he alleged had been attached to himself by Mary Atkinson.
 | Mrs. Halstead was the first witness called and was on the stand nearly two | hours during which time she revealed many unhappy incidents in her mar ried life. She testified as to finding the photographs of the Atkinson wom- an and declared that on one occasion she had followed her husband and Mrs Atkinson to the door of the latter's home. She identified statements. from a local shop for merchandise charged
 by Mrs. Atkinson to her husband and | of a wrist watch which her husband l had purchased for Mrs. Atkinson while
 she wore the cast off clothing of her | husbands family.
 Mrs. Halstead identified letters writ
 ten by her husband, when she was in
 California in 1915 when he wrote, My | habits are such that no woman could | endure' and declared that he had nev-
 CT felt she was truly happy with him | except. for baby. He advised her to dc

 MT Halstead denied many of the statements made by his wife. He de- clared that his relations with Mrs. At kinson were purely" platonic. He ex- plained that Mrs. Atkinson was a seamstress and the bill for materials she had charged to him was payment for making him bath robe The wrist watch he intended as a Christmas gift for his wife, he said.
