John G. Helfrich and His Wife
Cannot Live Together.
WOMAN GRANTED DIVORCE
Given Ranch In Spokane by Court.
HeirricV ' Denies Leaving Work
an . Going to Ball Game Car
olyn Averill Asks Divorce.
Mrs. Beade L. Helrich was granted
a divorce yesterday afternoon from John
G Helrich. In granting the decree
Judge O'Day, of the Circuit Court, said
that it was apparent that the couple
could never live together again, for they
had tried and failed since Judge Poin
dexter of Spokane denied a decree two
years ago. Judge O'Day decided that
a five-acre ranch, which is now within
the Spokane city limits, and was worth
3000 at the time of .purchase, should
go to the wife. It appeared from the
testimony that It was purchased with
her money.
Helfrich was upon the witness stand
all yesterday morning. Regarding his
wife's allegations that he left her to
do the heavy farm work while he went
to the ball game, he said he only went
once a week, and that the work was al
ways done first. He said his wife did
not care to go with him.
Helfrich said that his wife became
111 after carrying several sacks of bran
Into the barn to show how strong - she
was. ' He was closely cross-questioned
by Attorney Glltner, counsel for Mrs.
Helfrich, notwithstanding Attorney Mal
arkey's objections and the Court's ruling
that the questions were immaterial.
Many bypaths have been followed by the
attorneys In the case, the ground for the
suit being desertion. Answering ques
tions of Mr. Giltner. Helfrich said that
he always did his share of the farm work,
but that his wife telephoned his cus
tomers not to take milk of him. and at
other times refused to answer the tele
phone, thus ruining his business.
He was asked if he requested his
wife to give him their wedding ring, and
answered In the affirmative. He asserted
that he wished to keep It in remembrance
of their marriage. An affectionate letter
from Helfrich to his wife, written after
she sought to obtain a divorce from him
in a Spokane court, was introduced.
The letter was registered, but Mrs. Hel
frich returned It unopened. In It he
offered to send her a pass to visit him,
and money besides. Helfrich said fur
ther that he called twice to see his wife
while she was working as a clerk for
Llpman, Wolfe & Company, but that she
turned a cold shoulder.
Helfrich said he did not desert his
wife; that he merely packed his trunk
to go on the road as an express messen
cer. This was the business he followed
at the time of their marriage.
Carolyn Averill alleges In a suit for
divorce, filed In the Circuit Court against
George W. Averill, that he choked her.

the house. She alleges that he is fre

from Samuel Harvey, ' who recently
wrote him from Kansas City, saying he
phad met and talked .with Mrs. Belle
Gunness in Ogden, Utah, on May 4, six
days after she was burned to death,
according to Coroner Mack. Mr. Har
vey Is in Chicago, where he says an
attorney advised him not to come to
La Porte, for he would be locked up as
a witness. He says he will tell his
story to the authorities if they care to
hear it. The matter is being investi
gated. A convict in the Chester, Illinois,
prison has written that Mrs. Gunness
was a fence for a gang of Chicago cut
throats and robbers. He says he is in
possession of valuable information
which he will divulge to the proper of

Sheriff Smutzer a letter from Emma

of a strange woman In that town who
resembles Mrs. Gunness.

It develops after a good many unnum

old plaster of Paris cloak model. No
body knows this to be a fact unless he
has tried to get Brigadier-General Fred

id return ,to the soil whence he came.
I tried to persuade him on the score
of being fellow Kansans and friends of
some years standing to talk for publica
tion about things and things which con
cern our attitude toward Japan and other
people with whom we may have trouble
some of these fine mornings. But do
yau think he would? Not a cheep.. Even
a fresh package of cigarettes and the
exchange of remlniscenoes about the old
farm in Allen County failed to move
him to speak of anything that might be
official. Not that success, the most bril
liant Buccess that has come to any
American Army officer since the Civil
War, has spoiled Funston. Not at - all.
He is the most democratic of military
commanders. But he is on private busi
ness bent and, besides, it is nobody s
business what he thinks of the enemy
in the Orient.
The General has a lot of friends in
Portland and he inquired after many of
them, John F. Carroll and several others
and he looks back upon his stay at Van
couver Barracks as one of the pleasant
est incidents of his Army career. Thai
was about all he had to say about Port
land and its environs.
The stocky, square-shouldered man
who in his plain, nondescript "cits" and
derby hat, attracted little attention at
the Portland last night, is an herolo fig
ure in our- military life. He- really
doesn't care a; hang about It. That is
one of the charms of the man. He never
acts on the street or for that matter in
public places. He has done hfs spectacu
lar things when the stage was so hot
that the claque was afraid to look at
the spectacle. He has done things whea
they were shooting at him, right at him.
and had no time to consider whether the
audience looked at him or not. That's
characteristic of the man. He was born
300 years late, for a more death-and-danger-ignorlng
knight never lugged
around a suit of armor. From being an
obscure farmer boy, filibuster in the war
for Cuban independence 11 or 12 years
ago, he has won his way on the deao.
level to a place where the highest posi
tion In our Army is a probable contin
gency for him and not such a remote
contingency at that. But he isn't a bit
spectacular, for which those of us who
know and love him are profoundly thank
ful. The story of his life, only about 40
years of life as yet, contains so many
adventures that Dumas would have been
glad to incorporate him into one of his
romances. He is likely to be a Major
General very soon and within a decade
or two may command out Army. This
in time of peace. If war should come,
as it probably soon will, the extent of
the little Kansas General's achievements
cannot well be gauged beyond that he
will "be on the Job," as he has always
been In a dozen emergencies where he
has been tried, both In peace and war.
Now he Is commander of the Department
of California and on his way to Idaho,
on the unromantic mission of looking
after irrigated lands for his own private
benefit and profit. He will leave Port
land tonight and will probably spend a
day or two here on his return to San
Francisco.
