DIFRANCO TELLS LONG, SAD STORY
Wife's Constant Pickering Too Much for Him;
 Asks Divorce

Years of quarrels and bickerings with his red-haired wife caused him to lose his grocery business, Angelo DiFranco, who now runs restau- rant at 518 North Main street, told Judge Alfred c. Baldwin in superior court today. He seeks decree on grounds of cruelty.
 A round, Sad-faced man, DiFranco began his testimony late yesterday afternoon and finished at 11:30 o'clock this morning The recital of his marital woes took him three hours to complete.
 Frank Rosa, who used to be a clerk in the grocery store, took the stand when DiFranco finished and told the court that during period of three years Mrs. DiFranco had arguments with her husband four or five times a week in the store
 Rosa said the arguments drove the trade elsewhere because Mrs. DiFranco used to shout at the top of her lungs. Later, Rosa said, when DtFranco operated his restau- rant his wife used to work in the morning and quarrel every after noon.
 DiFranco often complained of severe headaches, the clerk said, adding that he could never see the reason for Mrs DiFranco's conduct.
 While the witnesses testified, Mrs. DiFranco cradled an infant in her arms, and paced back and forth in the courtroom to quieten the child. Two other small children, born of the marriage, sat playing on one of the seats.
 A widower, DiFranco married his present wife in May, 1884. He has three other children of his previous marriage.

 It is claimed that several accidents have occurred at the point which may be blamed almost entirely on the lack of proper illumination.
 The latest of these occurred Sat- urday evening when Louis Manzo of Lawlor street, well-known employe of the Swift O., was struck by a trailer truck while crossing the street to enter the car of Charles Brechbuhler a fellow employe who was accompanying him. Mango was knocked twenty feet by the impact and is in St. Mary's hospital at present under observation, the exact extent of his injuries being unknown
