Mr.. Mahlstodt explained that he had
once been rich. but had lost $4,000 in
Wall Street, and his wife had gambled
most all the rest of his money away last
season playing baccarct in Europe. He
10 had only about $4,000 left. Sadly
he told the court that his wifc'S parting
shot at his dwindcd fortune was to buy
q 81 600 mink coat and charge it to his
count the day before Sh entered her
separation suit.
"Tissur of lies" said Mrs. Mahlstedt
and her attorney.
We'll, that matter could be thrashed out
after the charges had been examined. One
lone fact seemed to emerge undisputed.
Plaintiff and defendant evidently had
been married in May. 1922. She had
been twenty-five years old and he thirty
two. They had elopcd and soon after
gone to Europe, and the trouble began,
According to the charge, the groom, who
had been so inpatient as to elOpC,
promptly became inattcntive to his bride
and too attentive to other women on the
boat and elsewhere; in fact, most every
where.
Her accusations cover period of time
from 1924 continuously up to tn" present,
and in territory from Westminster and
New York City over the eastern part of
the United States rs far south as Florida,
to say nothing of most of the high spots
of Europe. Added up, it was an impOs-
ing quantity of turpitudr for one man to
achieve in one lifctime-probably a
worlds record. II half of one per cent
of it was true, it was more than a-plcnty.
But what did the defendant have to say
for himself?

ment. Why had he been cruel and in
human and abandoned his little wife?
But here again the charges crashed
head on into flat denial Never had the
defendant been cruel or unkind. He adj
mitted that at times he had presumed to
criticize his wIfe's behavior and to ask for
certain changes in it. This, he claimed,
was not necessarily ScruI sand mhuman,
because he had not done it, SO he said,
until after she had disgracrd him by being
intoxicated on the dancing floor of almost
every big hotel in New York.
The fair plaintiff gasped at this and
swore that It was totally and absolutely
false, untrue and a lie. She positively
never drank at all. To further clinch her
denial. Mrs. Mahlstcdt added that even
of she had. it was because her husband
had taught her to drink. Therefore any
thing that came from 1t would be his own
fault anyway.
