$500 for attorney's fees. Her com
plaint recites that Dr. Brugruiere has an
Income from his practice of $500 a

ance of $300 from his mother.
Mrs. Bruguiere formerly was Miss

In the complaint filed today is given j
the first authentic account of a vari- I
oiisly-told story of the marital troubles
of the couple. The complaint wa
si.Tned by Mrs. Bruguiere in New i or

of the whereabouts of Mrs. Bruguiere

Mr?. Bruguiere sets forth that sh

In 102. within a few months after
divorce was granted him In t?an Fran
clsco Superior Court from his first
wife. Madeline. His decree specificall

Ten months afterward, Mrs. Brugufer
says, she was forced by the mental
crueltv to which her husband subject
ed her. to leave him. Six months later,
in February. 1905, Dr. Bruguiere wen
to Reno and established what Mrs
Hrnruiere declares to be a fraudulen
residence for the purpose of bringin
a n action for divorce, which he did
on September 16, 1905.
In bis complaint he charged cruelt
and desertion, and asked the custod;
if her child. He was granted a decree
without service of notice being made

custod v of the child was awarded to
Mrs. Bruguiere.
It was not until a long time after
the Reno divorce was granted, Airs.
Bruguiere says, that she learned of the
action. Believing the Reno divorce to
he valid, she says, she married Denning
in Atlantic City on July 20, 1907.
Divorce "t Valid.
On January 8, 1910, she was informed
by a lawyer that the Heno divorce
v as invalid and that she was not the
r-ife of Denning, but still the wife oi
Urtiguiere. In order that she mlgh
have a judicial determination of her
status, Mrs. Bruguiere brought suit in
the Supreme Court of New York for the
nnnulnient of her marriage to Denning.
Supreme Court Referee Henry Ear
heard the evidence and declared the
Reno divorce to be invalid and anulled
the marriage of Denning.
Mrs. Bruguiere recites in her com
plaint that she is without property am

the murder and at the time it occurred.
Action. Are Related.
This was Rose's day in brief as Mr.
Dougherty told It: from his home at
Anverne to the city: to the Sam Paul
Association and thereabouts: to the
Lafayette Baths; to Dora. Gilbert's with
a reporter for a morning newspaper;
to the latter's office to supply that
newspaper with Dora Gilbert's affi
davit blackening Rosenthal's reputa
tion: to Tom Sharkey's in a red auto
mobile, which broke down; to the grray
Ubby-Shaplro car, which had been
called from the Cafe Boulevard; to the
home of Rose's brother-in-law, Max
Blaumer, at Seventh avenue and One
Hundred and Fortieth street: to Sixth
avenue, near Forty-third street; Into
Jack's restaurant, then (here the story
was vague) to Broadway and Forty-
second street, where somebody ran up
to him and told him Rosenthal had
been shot.
Mr. Dougherty also told of the state
ments of Shapiro, which corroborated
the statement of Rose.
Coroner Ignore Objections
Mr. Whitman said that he had shown
testimony enough to warrant the hold
ing of Rose as the man who hired the
murderers' car and took it near to the
murder and hung about until the mur-
er was done.
Over Mr. Sullivan's loud protest the
Coroner held Rose as he had held Lib
by and Shapiro until Thursday.
"Bridgie" Weber was held after a
short narrative by Dougherty, giving
Webber's story of his whereabouts on
the night of the murder, supplemented
by an account of Shapiro's statement
that the actual murderers got into the
gray car at Webber's place and went
to the Metropole.
Sam Paul was held after Comrals
sioner 'Dougherty repeated the gist of
is conversation during the calls that
Paul made by invitation at police head-
uarters.
According to the Deputy Commis
sioner's statement, Paul said that he
had gone to "Bridgie" Webber's poker
rooms on Sixth avenue, near Forty-
second street, at 12:30 o'clock that
ight to meet Jack Sullivan there by
ppotntment and collect $150, which
Sullivan owed him.
Paul Admitted by Webber.
Never having been at Webber's be -I
fore. Paul said, he did not know how t
to get Webber lame along in an
open hack, cayiiig he had been at the 1
fteht at Madison Square Garden, and
let him in. Paul waited about some
time but did not see Sullivan, Rose or
Scheppa. About 1 o'clock he went to
the Lincoln Hotel and went to bed.
Sullivan came in at about 2 o'clock,
woke him. ami told him Rosenthal had
been killed and also produced the $150.
"I told him to give it to the clerk,"
Paul said, according to Dougherty,
"and tell him to put it in the safe for
me, and then I rolled over and went to
sleep."
Jack Sullivan was held as material
witness in J100 ball.
Mayor Ordern Harmony.
An important development of the
day was the entrance of Mayor Gay
nor into the case. By order of the
Mayor, the independent Investigations
which have been conducted by the po
lice and the District Attorney's office,
have been concentrated under District
Attorney Whitman.
Mayor Gaynor summoned Police Com
missioner Waldo and instructed him
and Deputy Commissioner Dougherty
to act in harmony with the District
Attorney, no matter what friction
might have crept between them. The
result was that Dougherty went at
once to see Whitman.
Meanwhile the country-wide search
for .the actual assassins of Rosenthal
continued, both the police and private
detectives whom the District Attorney
had employed taking an active hand.
Five men whose names hftfve been ob
tained from those men under arrest
are wanted, and some of them are un
derstood to be In Chicago, having fled
New York the day after the shooting.
Commissioner Dougherty has admitted
CUPID BUSY IN CALIFORNIA
June Brides Blossonit o Xuniber of
3079 Only 2976 in 1911.
SACRAMENTO. Cal.r July 22. The
sweet June brides of the Golden State
blossomed more abundantly this leap
year than ever before, according- to
fig-ures of the State Bureau of Vital
Statistics.
The June marriages in California to
taled no less than 3079 for 1912, as
compared with only 2976 for 1911, 2636
for 1910, 2511 for 1909, merely 2251 for
190S (last leap year), 2366 for 1907 and
2342 for 1906.
Cupid's harvest this year may thus
break all California records, as the
half-year total of 14,197 Indicates, and
annual aggregate of probably 28,400 or
perhaps more against actual totals for ,
preceding yers as follows: 1911, 27,
303; 1910, 24,937; 1909, 22,917; 1908,
21,739; 1907, 23,005, and 1906, 21,317.
While the 190S marriage total fell be
low that for 1907, the 1912 weddings
bid fair to surpass those for 1911.

Xeither Johnson Xor Tveltmoe Are
Summoned on This Account
Trial May Be Shortened at
Least One Week.
LOS ANGELES, Cal., July 2. -The
bribery trial of ciarenee S. Darrow was
unexpectedly halted today Dy tn se
rious illness of Juror L. A. Leavitt.
Because of the illness of his wife, the
I juror had been permitted to spend the
week-end at his home In custody of i
deputy sheriff.
Shortly before court convened, a tele
I phone message wa received from El
Monte to the effect that Leavitt nan
suffered a severe attack of appendicitis.
Not knowing the physician who made
the report. Judge Hutton selected a lo
cal doctor to visit the Juror and report
to the court at. 10 o clock tomorrow
morning, to which time an adjourn
ment was taken.
If an operation is necessary, the
services of A, M. Blakely, the 13th
juror, probably will be required. Leavitt
had an attack of illness several weeks
ago which delayed the trial for a few
days.
Labor Leaders Not Called.
But two important witnesses re
mained to take the stand for the de
fense. the accused himself and Le
compte Davis, his former associate in
the McNamara trial. The attorneys for
the defense declared they would not re
quire the testimony of Mrs. Darrow or
A. Tveitmoe and Anton Johannsen, and
because of this view the trial proba
bly will be shortened by at least a
week.
Neither Johannsen nor Tveitmoe,
the San Francisco labor leaders,
had been summoned by the defense and
it had been expected that Tveitmoe at
least would be called to testify concern
ing the check for $10,000 he was al
leged to have cashed last September at
a San Francisco bank. The check had
been indorsed by Mr. Darrow and it
was the contention of the prosecution
that the currency received had been
used by the McNamara defense for cor
rupting jurors and witnesses.
Members of the defense declined to
say whether there was any connection
between the determination not to have
Tveitmoe testify and the refusal of
Judge Hutton several days ago to al
low the defense a copy of Tveitmoe's
testimony before the February grand
I jury. At that time Tveitmoe is said to
have admitted receiving and cashing
the check, but he is said to have testi
fied that the money was given him by
Mr. Darrow for the purpose of paying
I certain expenses of the McNamara de
fense in San Francisco.
Thirteen Jurors Seldom Impaneled.
Should the alternate juror become a
regular member of the jury, it will
be the first time in the history of
American courts, according to the at'
torneys, that such & condition has pre
vailed.
Juror Blakely has been subject to
the same conditions and restrictions as
the others jurors, but according to the
law he could not vote on a verdict
unless a regular juror became in
capacitated for service.
Thirteen jurors have been Impaneled
only a few times since the law was
enacted in this state, but In no case
has the alternate been required to par
ticipate in the final proceedings. .
