SIX MARRIAGES
SUFFICIENT SAYS
PHYSICIAN

San Francisco, Sept. 29.-Enough
is usually enough. DR.. Gabor King
stone, chirpoodist and famous here
as prize fighter referee, and also as
a glutton for punishment in the mat
rmonial arena declares that he has
had enough. Six trips to the altar
and five jaunts to the divorce court
are said to be responsible for his new
conviction.
The recent and last martial bout
in which the doctor-referee was given
decision is the straw that broke the
back OF the dromedary. Coming as it
did short two years after a prev.
ious grilling, DR.. Kingstone was
forced to throw up the sponge and
cry Never agan!"
DR.. Kingstone was first married in
1895 to Miss Flora Cohen and for flf-
teen years the couple lived happily.
Then his wife died. And then began
an unbroken line Of bitter matri-
monial defeats. each of which added
so much more to the doctors cup Of
woe.
In 1911 he married Miss Maude
Mamie, and was granted divorce in
1916 on the ground Of extreme cruel
ty He then became enam0red of
Miss Ruby Armstrong and, resolving
that his luck had changed, he led her
tC the altar. He led her to the d.
vorce court In 1918, and was divorced
on the ground Of extremescruelty. In
few months he was again married
to Marie Stanley, was divorced and
married her a second time in the
same year. The latter marriage was
annulled on the ground Of fraud
Two years passed. The doctor had
become confirmed bachelor. He
| was no longer on the matrimonial
| market; he was through. Then one
afternoon Miss Mildred Gardner came
rushing into his Office at 101 Post
street and begged him to marry her
he declares. Gabor didn't want to-
as he told the judge, but the anxious
one was so insistent that he put the
ll"clOsed" sign on his Office door win
dow, took his fiance to Oakland, and
was uited. This was on August 4.
Ii Three days later the first smoke ol
the erupting volcano Of matrimonial
trouble began to curl up to the skies
The doctor said that he knew there
was mischief afoot when his wife lost
a number of hairpins while in the
kitchen OF their home with young
law student at a party.
