Circus Magnate Loses Suit Against Wife When Judge Rules Mis conduct Proven. Sensational testimony in the di vorce suit of Al G. Barnes, circus magnate, which has been under way in a Los Angeles court, came to an end last Saturday, when Judge Taft ruled that, although his wife, Mrs. Dolly Barnes, had deserted him, Barnes was guilty of misconduct in his relations with two women, Jane Hartigan and Vivian Bordeaux, the latter of Portland and formerly of Marahfleld. "I think that, taken by Itself," said Judge Taft, "the claim of desertion under the circumstances would -have been a tangible peg upon which ' to hang a judicial degree of separation, but the evidence of recrimination is Irrefutable and overwhelming." Shorn of loyal verbiage this meant that by his own actions Barnes had forfeited a valid claim for divorce. Miss Vivian Bordeaux of Portland, one of the co-respondents named by Mrs. Bf rnes, recently went to Los An Keles to appear against the circus magnate, whose love she declared she once possessed. She was acccmpa'nied by her attorney, W. T. Vaughn of this city. Under the ruling of the court the termination of the case results' In a matrimonial "draw." Barnes loses his suit for divorce, while Mrs. Barnes Is denied her claim for separate mainte nance. Attorneys for Mrs. Barnes have indicated that they will, move for a new trial. Portions of the testimony of Miss Bordeaux cast light upon the alleged I nature of her friendship with the cir cus proprietor, whom she met In Portland and accompanied on a road tour. "Did you ever travel with the Al G. Barnes' shows?" she was asked. "Yes," she replied. "Were you a performer?" "No." "When did you join the show?" "In 1915, In Vancouver." "Where did you stay?" "In Mr. Barnes" private car." "In what part of the carT "In Mr. Barnes' private compart ment.
