Sued in October for a divorce on
the grounds of cruelty and desertion,
Charles E. De Mund vesterday filed an
answer to the suit of Mary C De Mund,
his wife. Mrs. De Mund alleged ner
husband accused her of improper acts
with other men, hired detectives to
watch her and on April 24. 1920, en
tered their bungalow in Los Angeles
with three detectives just after she
had entered the rolace with a man
friend who was assisting her to move
to an apartment house. Her husband,
she allefred, accused her of infidelity
and threatened to kill her. She charges
her husband with having a violent
temper and being quarrelsome and
crueL
Mrs. De Mund asked for $1.00(5 a
month as temperary alimony until the
hearing of the case and a division of
the community property, which she
said amounted to $350,000, from which
an income of $25,0000 is derived.
De Mund filed a demurrer to the suit
on the grounds that his wife was a
resident of California and this court
had no jurisdiction in the case. The
demurrer and a motion for temporary
alimony were heard in the superior
court several days ago and Judge Jones
of Flagstaff, who sat in the case, took
the matter under advisement, stating
he would render a decisoin on Decem
ber 21. The decision has been post
poned to a later date.
De Mund alleges in his answer that
his wife has not resided in Arizona
long enough for this court to have
jurisdiction in the suit. He says they
were married in Missouri in J89G, and
denies they have been bona fide resi
dents of Arizona for the past 21 years.
He alleges his wife has not lived in
Arizona since 190!), and at the time she
filed the suit, he says, they were both
residents of California. He denies that
he Abandoned his wife in Los Angeles
on April 24, 1920, but alleges they have
not lived together since that date.
He dtnips ho was jealous and cruel
as she charges and alleges he has
borne her alleged improper conduct
with great patience. He denies he ever
mdae any statements about her con
duct with other men, but alleges he
believes she has been guilty of im
proper relations with other men. He
admits he told her in Phoenix in No
vember, 1919, that she did not love him
and was f-imply waiting until he died
because she wanted his money. He
admits he hired detectives to" watch
her at their bungalow in Hollywood.
He alleges that detectives saw a
man go into the bungalow with her at
11:30 o'clock on the night of March
6, 1920, and stay until 4:30 o'clock the
the next morning. De Mund denies
he entered the. bungalow on April 24,
1920, with a detective and after causing
a scene, threatened to shoot her. He
alleges he went to the bungalow about
3:30 o'clock that afternoon and entered
the back door with a detective. His
wife, he alleged, came from a bedroom
as he entered and the man climbed
out of the window.
De Mund denies his estate is worth
$350,000, with an income of $25,000 a
year, but alleges his estate amounts to
$196,627.38. with an income of $7,424.
He declares the estate is not com
munity property but his own personal
property. He states his wife has an
estate of about $35,000. He asks she
take nothing by her suit and that she
be required to render an accounting
of the money and proprety he has
given, her or placed In her control.
