return vouchers, among which found
about four or five endorsed by Mr.. GlOtz
bach over to Mrs. LOttie Fraties. with the
signature of Lottie Fraties underneath.
Q.--When you had these various dis
cussions with him about this woman,
Lottie Fraties, and his receiving mail from
her, what was the effect upon you Of
learning that he was still corresponding
with her?
A.--Well, of course, it meant great
deal of mental suffering for me; was
very nervous and was very excited about
it'll cried great deal and had sleepless
nights My whole state Of health suffered
under it, as ] .hink can be easily imagined.
A.-You have told counsel for plaintiff
that you sent telegram in the latter part
of February, 1922, to Mr.. Clotzbach, stat

A-YeS.
Q.-Madam, at that time, did you real
" and sincerely believe that you were
to become mother?
A.-Certainly. ] absolutely believed

it, because saw very famous specialist
in this country who absolutely told me
that was right; it was not only a.matter
of believing it; it was matter of fact,
Q.-At that time you at least did be-
lieve yourself that you were in that con-
dition?
A.-Yes, sir.
Q.-How long did that apparent condi-

Q.-You say you became very excited
and nervous?
A.-Being under this terrific stpain,
aside from the fact that was travelling
all the time and working very hard
mean the physical strain-aside from that

it, and as I say, kind Of nervous break
down during those days in st. Louis; and
| consider that the reason.
(Recess taken and cross-examination
resumed at afternoon session as follows);
MR.. LERMEN-Madam, this morning,
in answer to cOunsel's question, you stated
that you spoke to the plaintiff number
of times about this apparent concealment
of the fact that you were married-espe-
cially from his friends and relatives in
Monterey; and believe you stated also to
Mr.. Peyser that on his first coming out
here to California in December, you stipu-
lated as one of the conditions of his re-
turn that his friends should know about
your marriage?
A.-Yes, sir.
Odd you subsequently have con-
firmed your suspicious that he had denied
to his friends in Monterey the fact that
he was married to you?
A.-Yes, had, | received confirm
ton from the Reverend Father Maestris,
in Monterey.

madam. Tell as what it is.
Alt is copy of the original letter.
(MR. .LERMEN offers the copy as part
of the cross examination and reads it into
the record as follows):
Dear Floyd:
"Well, here | am again, writing and
waiting to hear from you what do you

today since you wrote to me from
Frisco and tried t. make me believe you

"Your friend
"LOTTIE FRATIES."
Q.-Referring to this woman, Lottie
Fraties, did you at any time have any dis
cussion with your husband with regai i
to any money that he had sent to Lottie
Fraties?
Al certainly had.
Q.-When and where and what was it :?
At occurred to me first in Europe,
travelling, that whatever Mr.. Glotzbach
bought for himself, had to pay the bills;
he had all the bills sent to me, and paid
him monthly salary of $3.50 at the time
that I employed hint was arranged
that way, and kept on doing that way all
through our marriage, and noticed that
he never used this amount of money to
pay his expenses or anything he would
buy, or clothes, or whatever 1t was, he
would always have the bill sent to me,
and l questioned him about 1t.
Q.-Who paid those bills?
Al paid them.
Q.-You questioned him?
Al questioned him about what be-
came of that money, what he did with that
money. He would kind of eVade me and
say he had to send some money home to
his family, they " ere poor people, and so
on, and my suspicion was aroused, of
course, that that money went apother
way; and those suspicious were confirmed
on my return from Europe, when re-
