BOTHWELL WAS BAD
ACCORDING TO HIS WIFE'S COM
PLAINT FOR A DIVORCE
CRUELTY AND DEBAUCHERY
Both Husband and Wife Charge Each
Other With Infidelity—Tempo
rary Alimony Granted
Divorce suits are occupying about one
half of the time in the single department
of the superior court now In session. The
complaints ln the Bothwell proceedings arc
certainly lively enough to satisfy the de
sires of any one who has a thirst for sensa
tionalism.
James and Harriet A. Bothwell were mar
ried at Gallon, Ohio, ln the summer of 1871
Not more than two years had passed when
there came some disagreement which
caused the husband to knock his wife
down, kick her, choke her and iinally throw
her out of the house. The matter was
patched up, however, and all was compara
tively serene until the couple took up their
residence ln California in 1594. They had
been in the state for several years, making
their home at Florence, when they moved
to Los Angeles and located at 453 Jackson
street, where, according to the wife's state
ment, she has led a most miserable exist
ence as a result of her husband's deplora
bly cruel and bestial conduct.
At times, according to the wife's petition,
he would be kind, considerate and atten
tive, but these occasions seemed to be
only a calm before the storm. When the
wind changed he would Indulge In the most
shameful debauches, apparently hesitat
ing at no devilish proceeding which might
suggest Itself. On Faster Sunday, ISSB, ac
companied by a notorious prostitute, he
is alleged to have driven to Santa Monica
and after both he and his companion had
hecome intoxicated they started home,
only to break down soon after leaving the
beach town. They changed vehicles ami
came driving Into Los Angeles In a buck
board with a wheel or two of the broken
buggy tied on behind. The route chosen
on entering the city took them past the
Bothwell residence, where the wife sat at
the window awaiting the return of her
liege lord. He attracted her attention on
passing by waving his hat and calling out
to her.
When Mrs. Bothwell censured htm for
such conduct next morning, he Is said to
have responded by knocking her down and
beating her. On many other occasions, the
complainant, alleged, he had abused and
mistreated his wife, often accusing her of
being a common prostitute, and one tint
specifically charging her of Intimacy with
lawyers, doctors, merchants, jewelers, real
estate men, trucksters, teamsters, laundry
men and men in all walks of life. He
charged that his own son was illegitima'e,
and finally wound up the episode by throw
ing his wife out of the house In August. 1884,
and afterward selling all the furniture to
r. second-hand dealer.
The couple lived together for short peri
ods after this, but the husband finally filed
a divorce petition In the superior court, and
the story as told .above is from the wife's
answer and cross-complaint, in which sh.
further alleges that Bothwell fraudulently
induced her to sign deeds and releases to
all her property rights, under the represen
tatlon that the documents would make be
tween them an equitable division of about
tnw worth of property.
Bothwell's complaint 's based upon alle
gations similar to those which the wife
claims he has often made against her be
fore, namely, that she Is and has long beer,
unfaithful to him.
In a motion for alimony brought before
Judge Shaw yesterday, the court ordered
Bothwell to pay her $40 per month until the
case is heard and $20 expenses.
DYER WAS A GALLANT
Former Newspaper Man's Wife Gets a
Divorce
F. J. Dyer, formerly a reporter on the
Los Angeles Law Journal, was the unwill
ing defendant in a proceeding for divorce
heard before Judge Shaw yesterday. He
did not appear, however, and therefore
must stand under the brunt of the charges
preferred against him by the plaintiff,
whose petition alleged non-support, deser
tion and cruelty.
The couple were married in Santa Ana in
September off 1594. and soon after moved to
Riverside, where Dyer was for a time em
ployed on a newspaper. Their troubles be
gan on their removal to this city and the
husband's advent to the Los Angeles jour
nalistic field. The plaintiff alleges that
Dyer then became cruel and indifferent to
her wishes, no matt>r how small they were.
He seemed to consider it his perfect right
to flirt with strange women and would in
dulge ln many little feat:- of gallantry to
ward them even ln the very presence of her
whom he had sworn to "honor, love, cher
ish and protect."
On one occasion, when coming from the
theater in company with his wife, he left
her standing alone and undefended and as
sisted a strange woman to board a passing
car, and in doing so found it necessary to
pass his arm around the favored female's
slender waist, thereby causing his wife
much pain and mental anguish. Some
months ago he abandoned his better half
and went to San Francisco, where he is now
employed as a reporter on the Chronicle.
Although he has since been In Los Angeles,
he has never called on Mrs. Dyer, nor has
he contributed in any way to her support.
The court did not "feel It necessary to hear
all the evidence, but granted the decree on
the plaintiff's general complaint and the
substantiating testimony of two or three
witnesses. The defendant Is said to be a
very capable journalist and was not un
popular with his associates when a resi
dent of Los Angeles.
PRELIMINARY HEARING
Interesting; Case Before Justice Sexton
of University
Deputy District Attorney MeOomas yes
terday conducted the preliminary hearing
In the case of the People vs. F. A. Marcher
and J. W. Jackson, alias C. A. Gove, who
are charged with having swindled H. J.
Loomis, a Cucamonga rancher, out of
about $1100. Marcher was proprietor of the
Rival jewelry store on Broadway and is
alleged to have made a false appraisement
cf a lot of Jewelry on Which Jackson se
cured a loan from the rancher.
Henry J. I-oomls was the first witness
called. He is the man from whom the
UIOO loan on the jewelry was secured. He
admitted that the loan to J. W. Jackson
was made through the agency of F. A.
Marcher, who first told him of Jackson's
need of funds, and th.en took both Mr. and
Mrs. Loomis to 'kson's room ln the
Bom's bulldlnc to examine the box of jew
elry and consummate tne loan. This oc-'
currcd on January 19tn. After an expert;
test of a part of the watches by Marcher,
a list of numbers and prices was dictated
by Marcher, after whtcK the box was tied
and staled.
Mr. and Mrs. Loomis then accompanied
Jackson to the Farmers and Merchants'
lank, where the money was obtained.
Marcher returned to his store and the box
of jewilry was locked ln Jackson's room.
Later Loomis and Jackson returned to the
room and carried the box to the deposit
vaults of the Farmers and Merchants' bank,
where tt remained until July 7th. Mr.
Loomis stated on cross-examination that he
did not expect to retain any of the good*,
and merely took them as security for the
loan. He admitted that he was not an ex
pert on Jewelry and relied solely upon Mr.
Marcher's valuation on the goods.
Mrs. Addle Loomis, wife of Henry J.
Loomis, was then called. She testified to
being present at the time the bill of sale
and memorandum of numbers and valua
tions were made, and also witnessed the
sealing of the box by Jackson and Marcher.
Mrs. Loomis at first stated that Jackson
had said that the watches in question were
gold, but upon cross-examination she de
cided that, while Marcher had pronounced
the stuff to be gold, Jackson had only ad
mitted the watches to he "good goods."
Both Mr. and Mrs. Loomis identified the
goods as a Job lot and failed to have other
means of identification. The bill of sale,
which was admitted in evidence by Judge
McComas and labeled exhibit A, was made,
Mr. Loomis said, to avoid paying the li
cense required on money loaned. Mr.
Loomis was recalled and stated that his
belief now is that Marcher had an interest
in the transaction, although at the time of
the loan he did not think so.
The hearing required the greater part of
the day and resulted in the men's being
bound over to the superior court in the sum
ot $1200 each.
AGREED TO MARRY HER
But a Hitch Occurs When All Is Ready
for the Ceremony
Young} Ernest Beard, the boy who is
charged with the seduction of Ada Vosburg,
yesterday willingly agreed to marry the
complainant, and all preparations were
made for the performance of the ceremony
forthwith. It was to take place in th.
reception room of the district attorney's
office and Justice Young had consented to
tie the knot.
The groom-to-be was present, with his
mother and two sisters, and the girl,
though very slow in coming, finally arrived.
Then it developed that the would-be bride
had some very original Ideas. She In
formed the young man that before the mat
ter proceeded any further, she wanted him
to sign a contract that he would support
her after marriage. To this Beard would
not consent for some time, and the confer
ences on the point were long and very pri
vate. The complainant finally appeared to
carry her point, however, anil the party left
for the office of Attorney Horace Bell,
whom the girl named as her counsel.
What the outcome of the affair was or
will be is not yet known, but the prevailing
opinion among those who knew the circum
stances was that the boy has fulfilled his
legal and moral obligation to the girl by
his willingness to mak- her his wife, and
•hat her ground for pros-cution is thus de
stroyed If she refuses to accept the proposi •
tion. Of course, after the marriage, if he
refused to support her, she could again ap
peal to the courts for relief in a civil case
but her attempt to force him into a contract
before she becomes his wife is looked upon
as prejudicing her case.
WANTED—A PARASITE
Product of the Hawaiian Islands Very
Much Sought For
The orchardists of Southern California
have for some time been actively Investigat
ing the merits of a little insect, which bears
the very pretentious natural history ap
pellation, "chilocorus clrcumdatus." It be
longs to the family of beetles and Is a lady
bird, said to be a very rapid breeder and
very destructive to the pest known as the
purple scale.
The county horticultural department has
been trying for months to get a small col
ony of the parasite from Its home in the
Hawaiian Islands, and at one tims the com
missioners thought they had accomplished
their purpose, but finally falle'd. A move
ment is now on foot to send a man to Hono
lulu for that purpose, and at a meeting of
orchardists at Rivera the other day, which
was attended by the county horticulturists,
it was decided that the county supervisors
should hft petitioned to contribute toward
the expense of such an envoy. The balanc
of the necessary fund will be raised by pri
vate subscription, and it is probable that
the much-sought little denizen of the insect
world will soon be an applicant for letters
of California citizenship.
PASADENA ENJOINED
Action to Prevent Sale of Franchise to
the Terminal Railway
Pasadena is having troubles of her own.
The peaceful inhabitants of that quiet
suhuf* of Los Angeles are divided against
themselves on the question of whether or
not the Los Angeles Terminal Railway
company shall have a franchise to use the
streets of the city for transportation pur
poses. The matter has resolved Itself Into
a fight between the faction which says
"yes" and the faction which says "no,"
and now the courts are appealed to for de
cision of the controversy.
Yesterday Chas. H. Frost, representing
the faction opposed to the sale of the fran
chise, filed a comjlalnt ln the superior
court praying that the city be enjoined
from making such sale. The case is en
titled C. H. Frost against the city and
trustees of Pasadena and the Los Angeles
Terminal Railway company. The plaintiff
alleges that the granting of this franchise
would work irreparable damage to the
property and citizens and sets forth all the
preliminary proceedings by which the trus
tees are expecting to sell the privilege.
The court has issued a temporary re
straining order and the case will be heard
soon.
CONTINUED AGAIN
Water Injunction Suits Will Be Heard
This Morning
There was a great array of counsel and
city offloials in court yesterday morning
in anticipation of the hearing of the two
injunction suits in the fight between the
city and the Los Angeles City Water com
pany. Their suspense was forced to re
main unrelieved until today, however, for
after a council between the attorneys and
Judge Ostor, who is hero from San Ber
nardino to hear the cases, a continuance
was granted until this mornlngat 10 oclock.
The city's answer to the water company's
complaint was placed in the hands of the
company's attorneys yesterday afternoon
and it is thought that the case will now
come on for hearing without further de
lay. The water company's fears that Judge
Shaw intended to hear the city's DM*
proved to be without foundation, as Judge
LOS ANGELES HERAIX): FRIDAY MORNING, AUGUST 5, 1898
Oster will probably hear both cases. It
may take three days to hear the argu
ments.
SOLD THE LAND
Miss Murray, the Plaintiff, Purchases
the Leonis Tract
Deputy Sheriff Chapman stood ln front
of the county courthouse yesterday and
shouted himself hoarse in an attempt to at
tract bidders for 1723 acres of land which at
one time formed a part of the Leonis es
tate. The sale was held to satisfy a Judg
ment given to Miss Murray against Etc he
pare, who is now defending his title to the
property in a suit brought by Mrs. Leonis.
There were no bidders present, but
Deputy Sheriff Chapman was authorized
on the part of the plaintiff to bid $181".35,
so "knocked It down" to himself ln that
capacity. The Junior member of the firm
of Dunning & Dunning, which represents
Ktchepare. entered a protest to this pro
ceeding, but Chapman promptly told him
to "Go to, young man, go to," and declared
the sale as made. The land is worth many
times the amount bid and will probably be
redeemed before long.
HIS OWN BROTHER
Felt That Smith's Conduct Was Not
That of a Sane Man
Mrs. S. I. Smith was yesterday granted a
divorce from her husband. F. C. Smith, on
the ground of non-support.
Mrs. Smith alleged that the defendant
has become a total wreck through an ex
cessive indulgence in stimulating liquors,
and that for many months he has contrib
uted nothing whatever to her support, and
through his bad habits and utter idleness
has caused her much anxiety and worry.
Smith's broher bluntly testified that his
unworthy relative is simply saturated with
whisky, until he Is Just "a little bit nutty";
that he has a room at the St. Elmo and
when a little the worse for wear does not
trouble to go home at all. Smith had a
good position until this year, but lost It for
the same reason that he now loses his wife
The court granted the decree and custody
of the children.

GERMANY WANTS OUR FRUIT
New Home Product—An Odd Tropical
Fruit
Several Inquiries have been received at
the chamber of commerce from merchants
In Germany for the names of packers and
California dried fruit exporters. These
letters are the result of the state exhibit
made at the Hamburg exposition last year.
A new attraction in the exhibit room is
a handsome counter automatic and com
puting soale made by the Automatic and
Computing Scale company of this city.
On an ornamental aluminum cylinder,
where the weight is registered, the me
chanism is so arranged that the amount of
money Is computed if the weigher knows
the price of his goods per pound. It is a
beautiful and Improved piece of counter
furniture, and a valuable addition to the
list of Los Angeles' home products.
An oddity in the shape of tropical fruit
is a specimen of sopota, exhibited by C. B.
Hoover of Shermanton. The tree has ever
green foliage and stands on land in the
Cahuenga valley originally owned by Pio
Pico. The tree is supposed to be some
fifteen years old, but its origin la unknown.
The fruit is about the size and shape of a
green Japanese persimmon, but when ripe
turns a pale yellow, contains four large
seeds and the pulp resembles a custard
apple.
Recent additions to the exhibit room are
Kelsey plums, Mr. I-eed; onions measuring
twenty inches in circumference and weigh
ing four pounds, Fred L. Sexton; cabbage,
weight eighteen pounds, four feet and
three inches in circumference, Small Bros.,
Shermanton; samples of Fuller's earth from
Ban Bernardino county, S. S. Simon*; Kei-i
