San Jose, Cal. Aug. 22.-To the fury
of q scoTned woman, Rev. John A.
Spencer attributes all of his troubles.
The clergyman charged with the
murder of his wife at Clear Lake ana
awaiting the arrival of the Lake eoun-
ty authorities with the warrant Tor
his arrest. today declared that because
a Santa Rosa woman had sousht 70

had spurned her. she had fomented

cused her today of having beeL the

Spencer's death had been due to other
causes than drowning.
The woman and my wife Wefe
warm friends" he said g was this
woman who suggested that-we come
to live at her home and that she would
take care OF Mrs Spencer when she
was ILL., Later she used to come TO
see me when Mrs Spencer was not Al
home. so much so that the neighhors
began to talk about it. I refused TO
pay attention TO her This fact. cou-
pied with a dispute concerning the
amount she wanted to collect for her
having nursed Mrs Spencer has IN
censed the woman against me.
1t was she who poisoned Mrs
Spencer's mind with tales about my
self and Mrs Dunks. Ny wife. gen
orally moody and Respondent, was all
the more READY, because OF HeE SIGN
condition, to listen. Mrs. Spencer and
I had many conversations about Mrs
Duhks but I deny that We ever had
any quarrels'
Spencer admitted his wife was of a
jealous nature, He likewise made no
conceaIment of the fact that he had
other women friends. He said: II
