LECTURE ON JEALOUSY
DELIVERED BY COURT
Judge Tells Husband Accusing
Wife of Infidelity of the
Rights of Women
Judge Church of Fresno, sitting in
department four of the Los Angeles
superior court, yesterday delivered to
John W. Wickland, who accused his
wife, M. Blanche Wickland, of Infidel
ity, while she charged him with cru
elty, a lecture of unusual severity for
being jealous of his wife.
The jurist heard their allegations pro
and con, and listened to disputes over
the disposition of their property, which
is valued at $10,000 and alleged to be
heavily encumbered. After announc
ing that he ■■ uld take the case under
advisement and decide who should
have the divorce, Judge Church turned
to the husband.
After expressing regret that such a
case had come before him, and declar
ing that so far as he could .see both
plaintiff and defendant possess admir
able traits, he said that obviously the
husband had been neglectful of the
duty he owed his wife and of the
rights and privileges lie should have
recognized as hers. Continuing, he
said:
"What I would like to do with this
oase, if I could do it and if I had my
■way about it, would be to send these
parties out of court and send this de
fendant to his home to do his duty
and never intimate a suspicion of tho
•wife of his bosom and the mother of
his children; never think of charging
her, by inuendo or in any other way.
with improper relations with a com
mon workman on his farm, or with a
boy.
"It used to be that a woman was
only a slave and regarded as such, a
slave to minister to the selfish wants
nnd desires of some brute of a man.
That used to be the idea. We are
petting away from that a little. I
hope we are going to take the view
that men and women are equals, with
equal rights, that one cannot demand
of the other something.
"If I want affection T make myself
worthy of affection, and I win it. If I
cannot get it that way I go without
it, for I know I cannot get it in any
other way. There are few women that
do not respond to that kind of treat
ment liberally, more than liberally. I
do not say there are not some that do
not. but they are few.
"There has nothing been shown in
this case, not even the semblance of
anything, detrimental to this lady, nnd
the only things that have been shown
are the unfortunate things to which I
have referred to the contrary.
"I have no words too strong, I admit
It, to condemn mere suspicion and act
ing upon it. No words too strong to
condemn the want of the treatment of
the wife as an equal, with the same
rights, that the man has—no less and
no more —knowing that a good woman,
n good wife, will not do anything will
ingly to hurt the feelings of a hus
band, and a good man should do noth
ing to hurt the feelings of his wife.
"Now I shall take the case under
consideration before disposing of it. I
could nnt do less than to express tho
feeling" T have after the case has been
presented to me ns this one has. The
c.iso is submitted."

Fads for Weak Women
Nine-tenths of all the sickness of women is due to some derangement or dis
ease of the organs distinctly feminine. Such sickness can be cured—is cured
every day by
Dr. Pierces Favorite Prescription
It Makes Weak Women Strong,
Sick Women We//.
It acts directly on the organs affected and is at the same time a general restora
tive tonic for the whole system. It cures female complaint right in the privacy
of home. It makes unnecessary the disagreeable questioning, examinations and
local treatment so universally insisted upon by doctors, and so abhorrent to
every modest woman.

WOMAN IS GRANTED NEW
TRIAL TO RECOVER HOME
Claims Young Man Cajoled Her
Into Deeding Him Property
Judge Monroe of the superior court
yesterday granted a new trial in the
case of Mrs. .Mary Covert. 71 years
old, against Stacy Lamb, a young man
who a year ago won a suit by which
the woman had sought to recover from
him h"r home, valued at $7500, which
she alleged he cajoled her into dee ling
to him.
Affidavits were presented to Judge
Monroe, to the effects that the plaintiff
was in a weak and worn condition at
the time of ti" 1 trial last year by rea
son of her having been in constant at- j
tendance [or weeks at the bedside of
her sick mother, and therefore could i
not presi (it as good a case as she now
thinks she will be able to do.
Mrs. Covert declares that Lamb
called her "mother" and applied many
other endearing terms to her until he
persuaded her to deed him her home,
for which lie gave her, she avers, only
worthless stc k.
AVERS HUSBAND SAID HE
WANTED TO BE WICKED
"My New Tear's resolution and wish
is to be just as wicked as I can."
That, according to Jessie li. Mock
of Glendale, who yesterday obtained a
divorce from George B. Mock, because
of his cruelty, was his greeting to her
January 1, 1910. He lived up to his res
olution, Mrs. Mock told Judge Church
of Fresno, who, sitting in department
four of the Los Angeles superior court,
gave the decree, by knocking his 17
--year-old daughter down the following
day and kicking her into a state of in
sensibility.
Other cruelties charged to him were
driving his wife out of the house when
she was sick, locking her out of the
house at nights, constantly telling his
children to "shut up," calling his wife
vile names, declaring that he had a
younger sweetheart, sending his wife
pictures of himself taken with other
women, and finally packing his clothes
and leaving her and his children May
31 of this year.
Judge Church also cave a divorce to
Onetta Ellis from Alfred Ellis, who de
serted her.
AVERS CHECKS WRONGFULLY
CASHED; SUES FOR $1306.80
The trial of the case of C. M. Parent,
assignee of the Heinn company, against
the Farmers and Merchants bank, to
recover $1306.50 on checks which, it is
alleged, were wrongfully cashed, was
begun yesterday before Judge Conrey
of the superior court.
Parent claims that George Rice &
Pons, a corporation, February Z9. lfins.
drew a cheek upon its deposit in the
bank for $1131.80. The cheek was given
to A. J. Heinn for the Heinn company.
It is declared that the defendant ac-
Ci pted the check and certified it to be
good. Then, it is asserted, the institu
tion, two days later, cashed the check
when it was presented with the in
dorsement "The Heinn Company, by A.
J. Heinn."
It is nUrged that the indorsement
was without authority, and that the
Heinn company never received the pro
ceeds of the check. Two other checks,
one for $75 and the other for $100, were
similarly treated, it is asserted, and
the bank refuses to pay again.
HUSBAND FAILS TO APPEAR;
DIVORCE SECURED BY WIFE
Charles I. Shepnrd, who filed a suit
for divorce against Emma J. Shepard,
whom he accused of infidelity, failed
to appear at the trial yesterday when
the suit was called before Judge
Church of Fresno, sitting in depart
ment four of the Loa Angeles tribunal,
and a decree was given to the woman,
who proved that her husband had been
cruel to her.
Shepard had accused her in the com
pl lint frequenting a cellar res
taurant ana cafe at .Main arid Winston
streets; of slapping his face; of wish
ing he would leave and other vicious
actions.
Mrs. Shepard denied all of his alie
ns and declared that he had
failed to provide for her and had fre
tjuently asked her to obtain a divorce
from him.

Painter Tells Lunacy Board He
Draws Line at Water
Paul Mellon, a scenic artist, who as
serts that he has a reputation lor fine
work in the east, was committed to
the asylum for tho insane at Patton
yesterday after being accorded a hear
ing before Judge Rordweil, sitting with
the lunacy commission.
Mellon lias boen in Los Angeles sev
eral weeks, making his resilience at
the Pisgah home. He says his people
live at Mount Vernon, N. V., and gave
him money to come here for his
health. Whenever a remittance reached
him he used it to buy liquor. His
arrest on an insanity charge finally
resulted.
While before the commission Mellon,
who is 47 years old. gave a fairly
good account of himself, but inter
rupted it occasionally with fits of sil
liness. In one of the latter he told
of falling from a scaffold, while paint
ing, and breaking both arms and both
legs.
Questioned regarding his liking for
liquor, Mellon said he drew the lino
only at water.
ATTORNEY MUST REFUND
$500 TO FORMER CLIENT
Jury in Superior Court Decides
Lawyer's Charges Exorbitant
A jury in Judge MeCormick's depart
ment of the superior court yesterday
decided that Frank W. Burnett, an at
torney, must refund J. S. Johnston, a
former client, $500 of the $566.59 for
which Johnston brought suit.
Johnston told the court that several
years ago he employed Burnett to col
lect for him three notes for $2000 each,
making a total of $6WO. In the su
perior court, where Burnett brought
suit, a judgment for the full amount
was obtained in about forty minutes.
Then the validity of the notes was
attacked, a new trial was granted and
the case finally was taken to the su
preme court, where the judgment of
the lower court was confirmed. By
that time, taking the interest into con
sideration, the amount due Johns >n was
$7200. Of this amount, according to
Johnston, Burnett kept $1176.. ri9 for his
fees. Johnston, claiming that Burnett
had agTeed to take the case for $310,
immediately filed suit for the difference,
$566.59. The jury gave Johnson judg
ment for $500.

School Teacher Seeks $15-500
from Santa Fe Railway
Alleging that she stood for three
hours in water up to her waist, after
a train on which she had been riding
had been derailed, Miss Alice M. Gil
liland testified yesterday in the Unit
ed States circuit court, in the suit for
$15,500 damages she brought against
the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Rail
road company. Miss Gilliland claims
that as a result of the hardships un
dergone she has been unable to con
tinue her work as a school teacher.
The complaint further alleges that
the tracks of the company at that point
were in an unsafe condition and that
as the weight of the train on which
she was riding bore down on them the
rails spread, derailing the train. Miss
Gilliland testified she was thrown
from her seat and severely injured

tinued until today.

sire to Appoint More Men
