More of the domestic Infelicities cf Tr. Henry Waldo Coe and fcla wife. Viola M. Coe. and the dispute ai to whether the doctor and bla wife had creed to a settlement of their prop' erty rights directly following- his re turn from the Orient in October, 1910, were reviewed In the third day of the trial before Judge McGinn ytsterday. That the two main Issues Involved In the case will be kept separate as much as possible was Indicated by attorneys for both sides. These issues are Mrs. Coe's divorce action against the doctor and her suit for an accounting of ap proximately 1.10,000 paid since May of this year on the Government contract for the care of Alaskan insane, held by the Sanitarium Company, founded by I)r. Coe. Mrs. Coe contends that this money, possession of which the doctor obtained, should be turned over to her under the terms of the property settle ftnent she alleges was made, by which the sanitarium Interests of the doctor. Including- this contract, were assigned to her. Iiuitiea Are Separated. f So far all the testimony has had to do with the property issue. Sliortly after 1:30 o'clock yesterday the direct examination of Mrs. Coe eTHled and George W. Joseph, who with Bert K. Haney is conducting- her case, informed Judge McGinn that he desired to keep the two cases apart. Judge McGinn said that he'would not attempt to say how the case should be handled, but would leave that to Mr. Joseph. "All Tight," said Mr. Joseph, "then I will put in two cases. The cross-examination of Mrs. Coe can proceed now and we will put In our divorce testi mony lator." A. K. Clark, attorney for Dr. Coe, did not object, and Mrs. Coe's cross-examination on the property issue was started at once. In the morning session of court, after one of numerous spats between himself nnd Attorney Clark that enlivened the ase, Mr. Joseph turned to Judge Mc Ginn and asked him not to permit hlm Kelf to be drawn from the main issue by Immaterial matters Involved in the controversies of counsel. Cosrt to Hew to I.iae. "You need not fear about that." re plied Judge McGinn. "When I make my ruling I shall hew zo the line so close that there will be no confusion as to how the court stands on thejs sues of this case." From shortly after 2:30 o'clock until Just before 6. Mrs. Coe underwent a atiff cross-examination from Mr. Clark. At no time, however, did the witness lose her composure, though once or twice she appeared slightly ru'fled. She was handsomely gowned in a trim fitting tailored suit of cream serge. She wore a dark hat. with white aigrettes, and did not remove a set of black Alaskan seal furs, fastened under her throat with a black chain. She kept one gloved hand in a muff of the same fur. While on the stand. Mrs. Coe sat facing the court, with the side of her face toward Attorney Clark. Dr. Coe and thoir three sons, who were with the doctor. S!e carefully averted her gaze from any member of her family, but often looked unwinkingly at Mr. Clark u he questioned her. Marriage Seeae Klanbed. Mr. Clark pressed Mrs. Coe closety for details in regard to the building f thrlr $S0.no0 home in Lovejoy street, over which the differences between the Com began. "I don't remember about that." was a frequent answer by the witness. once, after having her Identify a book of photographs of this J80.000 home, the building of which, at Mrs. Coe's vehement urging, so the defense alleges, left Dr. Coe financially much straitened. Mr. Clark pointed to an other photograph on one of the front pages. "I see here a picture of a little house," he said. "Can you tell me what It is?" "Why. that's the farmhouse," said Mrs. Coe. apparently surprised. "Tes," said Mr. Clark, "the little farmhouse in South Dakota, where you were married." Of events leading to the trip to the Orient taken In 1910 by Dr. Coe for his health, during which, it is alleged by the defense. Mrs. Coe obtained control of the doctor's sanitarium property. Mrs. Coe's memory was not at all times good. Mr. Clark was especially insistent for details regarding stories which had gained circulation that Dr. Coe was insane, a sufferer from para noia. Mrs. Ce Explain. Mrs. Coe's explanation was in part that she had been so worried about her husband's nervous condition that she went to a specialist in Seattle, and without giving her husband's name, outlined his symptoms. The specialist, she said, told her the Indication pointed to a serious condition, probably paranoia. Then, the witness said, she tpld Dr. Mae Cardwell what the Seattle special ist had said, told her Dr. Coe's symp toms, naming: her husband, and asked Tr. Cardwell to present the case to Drs. Williamson. House and Gillespie, among others, without giving any name, for their opinions. She said they all said that symptoms of paranoia were in dicated. She didn't remember the name of the Seattle specialist, the name of his Institution, or its location, on ccoss examlnatlon. "What complexion did he have?" de manded Mr. Clark. "Medium," replied Mra. Coe. "Well, that's a good safe com plexion." returned Mr. Clark. Mrs. Coe said further that she had been given the specialist's name by a drug store, to which she had tele phoned. This led Mr. Clark to sar casm. - "As I understand it. then." he said, "you went to some unknown alienist In Seattle an alienist recommended by a drug store and told htm some per son was extremely suspicious of you with no real cause. He told you the symptoms were those of paranoia. Mra. Coe Makes Denial. "Then you went to Dr. Mae Card well and told her this, and who was concerned, and got her to go to these other doctors, without telling them that you meant Dr. Coe. with a hypothetical question to show the symptoms of paranoia. Then with their opinions, based on such a hypothetical case, you went to George and Wayne Coe and others, and told them these physicians had said Dr. Coe was Insane." Mrs. Coo denied that she had quoted .ift - ?t--:" til-h U i-r -V - v.- -' .. . . ' ;r-wl.sMSj :Vs JX. sfl" I'1 1"IT ii lijl EK3 ! Klfll 5"E3 r" ' 'j-"--! 'u.. ...... . r ...,.. J-tu .ji a'.ywta '., r-r the physicians as calling Dr. Coe In sane, but had said rather that they had pronounced his symptoms those of a paranoic. Mr. Clark produced an affidavit signed by Mrs. Coe in February, 1913. for George Coe, their son. In which she had sworn that his irritability over differences engendered by their house had led her to charge that he was mentally unbalanced, and that she had since realized that he was never men tally unbalanced and that she had not believed he was. after reflection. Mrs. Coe's cross-examination was completed at E:5. and after a brief re direct examination court adjourned un til 9:30 today. Charles H. Carey waa a witness at the morning session. WATER NOT TO BE STOPPED City, Ileeause of Its Own Delay In Sending: Bills, Gives Time. Xo water is to be shut off this month for failure to pay water bills until after the receipt by water-users of the monthly bills, which will be sent out for December" as soon as a large force of clerks can get them In the mall. The bills have not been sent out so far because of the defeat of the Daly plan providing for quarterly pay ment of bills. The monthly system had been discarded, but is being re-established as rapidly as possible. Commissioner Daly said yesterday that the bills will become delinquent ten days after the date Indicated on the bill as mailed or after the date Indicated by the postmark stamp. Whichever of the two dates is the lat est will govern. The hills should have been sent out December 1 and should have become delinquent December 10, but the mixup in the water depart ment has made this impossible. Water will be shut off for delinquency ten days after the date of tbe bills or the postmark date when the bills are fi nally gotten out. CITY ORDINANCE ATTACKED Owners of Stables Sue to Prevent Enforcement of New Measure. The ordinance passed two years ago requiring concrete floors and providing other specifications for stables in which horses and cattle are kept has been attacked by a suit filed in Cir cuit Court and an injunction , asked restraining the city officials from en forcing the ordinance. The suit was filed by the Portland Slabwood Company and several other firms, which keep a large number of horses, against Mayor Albee. the City Commissioners, the Chief of Police and the city health officer. The require ments of the ordinance, the complaint charges, are unreasonable, unjust and excessively expensive, and the concrete floors are unsanitary and Injurious to the horses. Another ordinance has been passed, it Is charged, exempting stables In block 4. Railroad Shops Addi tion, from the effect of the ordinance.
