He convinced Judge Joseph H Jones that he was not In a financial position to support his wife, and the charge of non-support, brought by airs Emma McCraken (Emma DeGarnett). was dismissed. The sole Income of the young man this Winter was the $30 a month that his father raid him. he testified, and he lived with his father and mother. Accusation and counter accusation by the parties involved livened the trial. Doth Recited Grievances. "We claim, your honor, that this woman stripped the defendant of every thing he has In the world." declared Attorney Wallace McCarnant. "He beg gared himself when she forced him to give her a $10,000 promissory note eight days after marriage. On the other hand. Mrs. McCraken asserted she had property and money In her own name when she married Mr, McCraken and that it was all taken from her. until she had left only an In come of $140 a year from a mortgage. "Everyone thought I needed my head examined for staying with him as long as I did, she declared, vehemently, on the stand. Asked If it were not true that she had ordered her husband to leave her In San Francisco, she replied: "I don't remember that I did. but I don't know what good he was doing sticking around. He took every bean from my vanity box every morning, and even made me pay for his cigarettes. Stock Declared Valueless. "Did not your husband give you all the property he had in the world? demanded Attorney McCamant. 'Didn't he give you 7500 shares of stock In the Smelterville Townslte Company? "Yes, he did." was the reply. "But he can have It back. It's not worth any thing." '"Didn't he give you a. $5000 life insur anre policy?" "Yes. but he borrowed so much on It It wasn't worth hardly anything, and I have been paying the premium on it. "Didn't he give you an order for $585 on the Anglo-Pacific Concession Company for money due him? "Yes, but I couldn't get anything on It."

"I had been bothered by people call ing me about checks my husband had Indorsed and which were returned marked "no funds,'" said Mrs. McCrak en. "and was almost out of my head the night we had the final row. He beat me up, scratched my face and chest and threatened to kill me. I told him to go ahead and kill me. I didn't care, and I didn't then." Mr. McCraken's explanation of the epieode was that his wife became angry at some trifling matter, and upbraided him in a "regular rage" before their company, and at 2 A. M. put on her street clothes, called a taxi, and de clared her intention of going to a Turkish bath. Salt on Koto Pends.
