BARNES DIVORCE IS 'DRAW
VIVIAN BORDEAUX, OF PORT
LAND, IS STAR. WITNESS.
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.
"What did Mr. Barnes say to you
on ttrat tripT
"Ha told me that he thought a great
deal of me. and spoke in very loving
terms."
