GOSS RECOVERS MONEY
FROM DIVORCED WIFE
Mrs. Moxey took the deed and success
fully mastered the test. There were four
colors in the deed, including the seal and
the notary's certificate. Mrs. Moxey was
e"qual to the ; test and' Judge Coffey^took
another tack. He made her write several
samples of ; her Signature and asked _ nu
merous other questions, which she an
swered in a rational style, much to the
satisfaction of Moxey, who ¦ seemed
pleased that his aged wife was doing so
well on the witness stand. ' When she
was allowed to go -Moxey stood up and
arranged her chair so she could sit down
without inconvenience.
Attorney, Rix announced that' all of the
petitioners' ', testimony • save that of one
witness was. in, and they would be ready
to rest • their ' case after they examined
this particular witness. The matter went
over until 11 V clock Monday morning.
'.Judge Coffey then took Mrs. Moxey in
tow. The Judge wanted to ask a j few
questions himself, simply* for the purpose
of testing her memory. "I don't mean to
offend you, madam," said Judge Coffey,
"but I desire 'to test your memory. You
know that enters into this case as much
as any other phase of it.
"It has been sworn here in one of these
depositions made by the elevator boy in
your Boston building that you are color
blind. Can you describe these colors in
this document?"
TJie attorney attempted to get Mrs.
Moxey .mixed up as to which deed was
made here and which was 'made in Ukiah.
Attorney Stephen Costello, attorney for
the Moxeys, came to -her rescue with an
objection, 1 but before he could stop her
MYs. Moxey had already specified the
place .where she made : each document.
.They were then offered in evidence.
"Did you ever see these deeds before?"
asked, Attorney Hoefler when Mrs. Moxey
had comfortably ensconsed herself in the
witness chair.
"Yes; they are tht; two deeds I made
for the property in Mendocino. County,"
replied Mrs. Moxey, without hesitation.
'"Where were they made?" ¦ ..
"One I made here in the office of D. M.
Delmas, and the other I made in Ukiah."
COFFEY TAKES A HAND..
When Rix read this • answer the courl
rpom rippled with laughter and the bailiff
hiad to . rap for order. Several other affi
davits, Including ; one made 'by j. Mrs.
Mandeville, in which she said that it was
her belief that her mother was crazy and
irresponsible,- were read, and then Mr3.
Moxey, was called \o the stand. .-.
-"Yes," was Glansy's reply.' "I'm not
likely to forget in a hurry a man who
gives me two and a half."; -
Frank J. Glansy, clerk in the office of
the Register of Deeds at Suffolk, Mass.,
made a deposition in which he told of the
filing of the deeds to Mrs. Moxey's valu
able property at 124 and 126 Sumner street,
Boston. The deposition set forth that a
man representing himself to be a Mr.
Young filed the deed. The petitioners
claim that the Mr. Young in question was
none other than Hoover, the' physical cul
ture"^ instructor, whose name is brought
out in every important step in the case.
He was in Boston at the time and had
several talks with Mrs. Moxey's relatives.
Glansy testified that the deed. was filed
on July 22 and that he looked up trife title
for the, man who fljed the Instrument. In
the deposition, which was taken In the
East, Glansy was asked why he remem
bers so ' much about the transaction.
"Well," he answered, "when he first ap
plied for information about the. property
he had me look up the title. If I remem
ber rightly it went back to Mrs. Gage
Phillips. When he filed the deed the next
day he statefi that he ' wanted to get it
back that day, as he wanted to catch a
train for New York.
"I told him," the deposition ran, "that
he would have to wait until the next day
for the deed. This seemed to worry him
very much and as he was going out he
chucked me half a dollar and told me to
get some cigars for myself. When he
came. back the next day he gave me $2 50.
That is why I remember so much
about it."
. "Do you remember him on account of
the two and a half?" was asked. '
GLANSY'S GOOD MEMORY.
. Whenever Attorney Rix of counsel for
petitioners would read' anything in the
depositions that savored of a smack at
Mrs. . • Moxey's questioned ' intelligence,
Moxey would throw his eyes upon his wife
with an expression that seemed to say,
."Rubbish," and whenever Rix read any
thing from hia voluminous record calcu
lated to impugn the motives of Moxey in
annexing himself to the rich widow and
her fortune, she looked aghast, as if such
a thing were entirely out -of the ques
tion. . '") , .'.- ' .- ¦ .. :• . :
• Almost all of the Uime devoted yester
day, by Judge Coffey to the hearing of the
petition of Harry N. Mandeville of Bos
ton to have his mother-in-law, Mrs. Gage
H. Moxey, declared incompetent, was
taken :up, by the reading of rather dry
depositions, but toward the close of the
afternoon session Attorney, Hoefler, rep
resenting the petitioners, called Mrs.
Moxey to the witness stand and she man
aged to enliven' interest in the day 1 ? pro
ceedings. 1 • . , '
The elderly wife of the youthful in
structorof physical culture sat beside her
athletic spouse , all day long and when
the reading of the depositions, most of
which were made by people living in Bqs
ton, dragged,, the spectators in the court
room spent their time with their eyes
riveted upon the couple' whose names
have suddenly -become linked with every
thing that pertains to love, money and
the law. ¦ •
Decrees of divorce were also granted to
Grace L. Hall from Ell B. Hall for
neglect. Alice E. Flugser from John C.
Mugger for cruelty and Mary A. Ander
son from Peter Anderson for cruelty. "
Suits for divorce were filed by Hattie

mack and Alicia E. Motfitt against Mont
M. MofBtt for failure to provide and Alice
Bareeley Chipperfield against Alfred E.

divorce by Raphaella Acosta Keener, filed
an ansTVtr to hrs wife's complaint -yester
day. He makes a general denial of all
the charges of cruelty made by his

Alice McKee Carmichael, wife of Dun
can Carmichael, Quarantine Officer of
this port, was refused a divorce by Judge
Seawell yesterday. Mrs. Carmichael fail
ed to prove that . her husband deserted
her, as she charged in her complaint, in

Since the marriage of the Carmlchaels
in Honolulu In July, 1899. they have been
"more or less before the public because of
their infelicities. Their quarrels culmi
nated in the filing of a suit for mainte
nance early in this year by Mrs. Car
rnichael. The suit is still pending:. The
action for divorce was commenced by
Mrs. Carmichael three months ago. It
came Up for trial before Judge Seawell
severaj days ago, Carmichael offering as
a defense the plea that his wife deserted
him at the time she claimed he left her
and remained away from him, notwith
standing that he was ready and willing to
take her back and provide for her.
Judge Graham granted divorces to the
wives of two members , of the medical
profession yesterday. The decrees were
granted to Marie Anna Wachendorf from
Dr. Carl C. J. Wachendorf and Carrie
Edwards from I>r. Homer C. Edwards.
21a. Wachendorf proved that her hus
band failed to provide for her and Mrs.,
Edwards complained that she had been
creully treated by Dr. Edwards. She
stated in court yesterday that her hus
band frequently struck her and on many
occasions called her an Idiot and a virago
and otherwise abused her. She said also
that Edwards once told her ehe was "no
good" and ordered her out of their apart
ments at 418 Golden Gate avenue.
