its tall poke hat who represents to

asked them to accept only facts, what

ASKS DIVORCE
TO AID GENIUS
Rich Ex-Widow Finds
Match With Alienist
Failure


Los ANGELES, Calf, July 20
With the setting for trial at an early
date in the Superior court here Of the
divorce suit Of Marion Reynolds,
formerly Marion Yellenbeck, a veal
thy New York widow, against Dr., Ce-
Gil Z. Reynolds, noted BRAN spc-
cialist, il leaked out that the separa-
ton of the couple came about be-
cause Mrs. Reynolds alleged her hus-
bands genius was a bar to do
mesticity.
Mrs Reynolds was quoted by
friends rs stating that her association
with her husband was a continual
source Of irritation to him in his pro-
fession and that instead of being a
help to him in his work she appeared
to be handicap.
While the divorce records were Sc
cretly filed and their contents were
not officially diyulged, It was stated
on good authority that the action
was based on mental cruelty result
ing from his alleged critical attitude
towards her in their home life While
q deep student of mental questions,
the psychology Of married life has
proved an enigma to him, according
40 the reported theory of his wife.
Mrs Reynolds, while a resident of
Los Angeles, has kept her exact
whereabouts a secret to all but her
most intimate friends since the de
tails Of the divorce charges became
known, and her attorneys have de-
lined to discuss the case or to reveal
her address.
1t was while Mrs. Reynolds, then
Mrs. Hoilenbeek, was visiting in
Los Angeles few years ago that
she first became infatuated with Dr.
Reynolds. She took deep interest
in his life work at that time and
their friendship eliminated in mar
riage little more than two years
ago.
DR. Reynolds and his bride left
here in 1919 on a honeymoon trip
to England, where the former was
widely known as a physician and
scientist and as l. Fellow of the Royal
College of Surgeons.
In Los Angeles DR.. Reynolds has
achieved an enyiable reputation as
an expert alienist and is known
among medical men for a number of
successful operations on the brain
and spinal cord
Mrs Reynolds has means of herI
own and will not ask for alimony,
it was stated.
