THE MOBXIXG OREGONIAy, FRIDAY, OCTOBER IV, 1919 CAVEMAN LOVER IS HELD XSD1XX BRIDE SATS HTJSBAXD CHOKED AXD BEAT HER. Romance of Far Kortb. "With Wild Alaskan Setting Is Told in Judge Rossman's Court. Romance of the far north "where the tang of the cold makes blood thick and passions rude as that of the wolf, woven into the story of the wooing and winning of an Indian bride. - a graduate of the Chemawa Indian training school, was told in municipal court yesterday when Rudolph Swarowsky, 834 Missouri avenue, appeared to answer to a charge of threatening to kill his wife, Nellie Swarowsky. Swarowsky was held to answer to the grand jury after he had admitted that he had choked his dusky bride or three months, and after she had Testified that he had threatened to kill her and on numerous occasions had given vent to his caveman style of caressing by grabbing a knife or sticking a 30-30 Winchester under her nose. Imagery and action such as a Rex Beach or a Robert Service might have envied was embodied in the tale told by the two of the little home at Cor dova, the home which was sold by the girl for a paltry $250 when they left for the "outside." There was another man who had an attraction for his bride Swarowsky said, and it was against this that he fought. When he was at work at the blacksmith shop, or building his boat, he was tormented by the apprehen sion that his wife was meeting this other man clandestinely on her way for the mail. So they broke up the little home and left this sinister In fluence behind and came to Portland, where he got a position in a black smith shop. The trouble started again when Mrs. Swarowsky wrote letters to her rela tives in Alaska last Tuesday. Swarow sky became angered, choked and beat his wife and told her he would kill her, she said. Not content with this she said he knocked down the 19-months-old baby, a child of her former husband. "I have never done anything to him," she said. "I have always tried to please him. Just because I am a half breed he calls me part Indian and tries to take advantage of me." Swarowsky, who said he was an Austrian, ' born in Vienna, but had served four years in the United States marines, told his story to the judge in a low hurried voice. J "She has made a nervous wreck out I or me, he said. "I love her and would have died for her any day.' And the other night she laughed in my face while I was sitting there suf fering. I chokad her I think." Swarowsky said after the trouble last Tuesday he made up his mind to go away and leave her, but that he later decided to stay on account of their unborn child. "From what you have told me you are either going to kill your wife or yourself and so I can d"o nothing more than hold you for investigation by the grand jury," said Judge Rossman. men aro willing to go back on the iob and remain there, giving an honest aay s work for a good day s pay. ac cording to George A. Rubedaw. man ager of the Rupp-Holland Lumber company. The reason for the walkout, he claims, was not the increase of 25 cents a day in the price of board, but the desire of the men to come to Spo kane and demand the release of I. W, W. prisoners here and the withdraw al of United States troops from Rus sia and Siberia. w hen the board was raised no pro test was made and nothing said until an agitator appeared and stirred up discontent among the men. Many of them are willing to go back to work now, according to Mr. Rubedaw, but are prevented by I. W. w. pickets. SPE1ER TANGLE CLEARED Alimony Payment to First Wife Legalizes Second Marriage. Agreement of David Speier to pay alimony of $50 a month to Mrs. Sophia Speier, from whom he received a divorce without contest while she was incarcerated in the asylum at Salem, led Presiding Judge Gatens to legalize his marriage to Mrs. Sarah speier yesterday, by revocation of former order reopening the divorce case.. The contention of Bernstein & Cohen, attorneys for Mrs. Sophia Speier, was that she had not had her day in court during her husband's divorce suit, as her guardian ad litem. a daughter, allowed the case to go by default, instead of appearing as re quired: Dy law. The case was complicated by the iact that six months after the divorce was granted Speier married again and now has a child by his second wire, airs. Sarah Speier. Mrs. Sophia Speier was committed to the asylum in September, 1918, and was released as cured in August, 1919. PAWNING LEADS TO JAIL Typewriter Renter Faces Charge of Unlawful Disposal.
