conviction.
The recent and last marital bout In
which the doctor-referee was given
a decision 10 the straw that broke the
back OF the dromedary. Coming as IL
did a short two years after u previous
grllling. Or. livingstone was forced to
throw up the sponge and cry Never
again.
ms FIRST WEDDING.
DIR. livingstone was nrst married IN
1895 TO Miss Flora Cohen and for nj
teen years the couple lived happily.
Then his wife died. And then began
an unbroken line OF bitter mstrl-
monisi defeats each OF which added
so much more 20 the doctors cup OF
woe.
In 1911 he married Miss hAudo
Mamie. and was granted q divorce IN
1918 on the ground OF extreme cruelty
He then became enamored OF MISS
Ruby Armstrong and. resolving that
his luck had changed, he led her 70
the altar. He led her to the divorce
court in 1915 and was divorced on the
ground OF extreme cruelty. 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 q confirmed bachelor. He was
no longer on the matrimonial markets
he was through. Then one afternoon
Miss Mildred Gardner came rushing
into his office at 101 Jost street and
begged him to marry her, he declares.
Gabor didn't want to, A. he told the
Judge, but the anxious one was so
insistent that he put the closed" sign
on his office door window, took his
fanase 10 Oakland and WAS united.
fThis was on August 4.
Three days later the first smoke OF
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 q young
law student at a party.
witnesses at the divorce trial tes-
titled that the wife had said that she
didn't love the doctor. that she had
married him for money and home.
They said that she had told the young
law student: "You know, darling. that
I love only YOU"
SHE CALLED HIM OLD.
livingstone affirmed that he had
bought his sixth spouse q gold wed
ding ring. and suitable clothing. but
that she pinned for a platinum circle
set with diamonds. and that her heart
was set on a sealskin coat. He told
his wife that he couldn't AFFORD these
things, and In three bitter words Of
repartee she broke his heart. She
called him IAN old man"
The cup OF woe was now flowing
over. The doctor was further embit-
tered when he learned that his wife
had falsined to him as to where she
had passed an afternoon. He came to
the court for consolation
"1f this court had the jurisdiction
think II would be advisable to issue
an injunction to prevent this man
from marrying again" said Judge
Flood, when the testimony showed
that the doctor had been to bat six
times with Cupid hurting the arrow.
SAYS HE'S THROUGH.
DIR. Kingstone was stunned by the
courts remark. There was no need
of an injunction he told the Judge. He
didn't intend to marry again, he said
he had had enough.
The doctors attorney interposed
legal objections to any provision In
the decree which would prevent his
client from marrying again. The
Judge admitted that he could not
legally prevent the chiropodist from
making a seventh trip to the altar.
The doctor left the court a miser-
able man. his voice trembling as he
spoke. Once outside the halls of JUS
tice, however, he frightened up. His
cigar assumed a conbative upward
slant, his hat was tilted over his eye.
