W. A. Leet Weeps on Stand
as He Tells How Wife Kept
Morphine in Home Mrs.
-; Leet Also Lawyer.
A romance beginning many years ago
"" in Michigan, when V. A. Leet was a
painter and wooed a minister's daugh
ter, I'tuiie to Its unhsppy sequel In the
voiroult court yesterday In tliu trial of
kiilt for dlvorco by the husband. Us
. Is' now a practicing attorney In Port
land, and his wife, who read law with
' him. has also been admitted to the bar.
It was an unusual story that Lert
told of his domestic troubles. His wife,
' . lm said, had caused him much mental
. distress by shutting herself In her mom
, for hours at a time. She was superstl
' U6us about the house they lived In. he
said, and he was. compelled to more to
sstlsfy her, She kept morphine In the
house for years, and he was certain
' she used It. though she denied It. She
had a mania for visiting clairvoyants,
he declared, and believed what they
told her.
Biff Attorney Weeps.
. 'Big tears stole down the 'cheeks of
the stalwart attorney as he gave this
recital. He flung them away with his
hand,, as though he disdained their In
trusion, and went ahead with his story
la a strong voice, while the woman who
has been his wife for JO years sat
watchli.g him closely, with only a
spasmodic closing of the hands to be
tray her tense feeling.
Still another complaint of the hus
bind, from his standpoint the chief
cause of their separation, was of false
charges made against him concerning
ha relations with other women. Pak
In Ithaca, .Mich., where he was promi
nent in politics and was district attor-
. ney for several terms, this difficulty
began, he said. He went to a hotel
kept by a Mrs. Fisher and played social
games of poker. He went to the home
of a Mrs. Bennett, for whom, as attor-
' ney. he was procuring a divorce. His
." wife accused him of paying attentions
t these 'women, he said.
, Separated, In Portland.
iTne separation came in Portland, they
having arrived here from Michigan In
1S08. It was caused by an anonymous
letter, he said. After receiving this
letter, in which the writer professed to
have seen Leet In company with a
handsome woman In the depot at Seat
tle, and promised to visit Mrs. Leet and
gtre full particulars, his wife avoided
-meeting him, he said. The next morn
ing when she wanted to talk with him
ha was In a hurry and refused to alt
down and talk, so she told him he
might go. he related. He went, and
:' never returned to tho.tiouse. This was
one day last July.
A remsrkable feature of the case Is
' that Mrs. Leet, . denying she had ever
accused her husband of flirting with
other women, and declaring she never
did believe him untrue, although .she
has heard tales about him, admitted
having received a proposal of marriage
from one of her old friends In Michigan
few months ago. This man made a
- conditional proposal, she said, asking
her if she would marry him If she he
comas divorced from her lawyer-hus
band.

;Mrs. Leet was not colled on to say
what answer she made to this proposal.
Leet, when he was on the stand, was

asked if he has any plans on foot for
marrying some other woman, and said
he has no such Intentions. Ho denied
having discussed marriage prospects
with a nurse who lives In Spokane.
Mrs. Ieet repudiated the charge of
hiT husband thst she accused him of
Improper relations with other women.
She says she did object to his going to
Mrs. Fisher's hotel to play poker, as
the place did not have the best reputa
tion, and she objected to his staying out
Into the early morning hours. He was
In politics, his conduct commented on,
and she was sensitive to anything that
obstructed his advancement in his pro
fession, she said.
Mrs. Leet also admitted calling. on a
palmist and an astrologer within the
last week, and with visiting fortunrf
tellers six or eight times since the di
vorce suit was begun. But she nearly
always went with someone else, she
said, and not for herself. She denied
having placed any confidence In what
they told her.
She Kept Morphine.
Morphine was kept In the house, she
said, but she uses It only when ill. She
thought she had not taken more than
half a doxen doses In several years. -
Mrs. Al McMullen, daughter of the
Leets, who Is a widow, testified against
her mother. She confirmed her father's
statements as to accusations made
against her father, and also as to the
trust reposed In clairvoyants by her
mother. Concerning the morphine, she
said she never saw her mother use It,
but believed she did because of the way
she acted at times.
A deposition taken from a friend of
the family in, Michigan, and. brief testi
mony from a Portland woman, who was
a schoolmate of Mrs. McMullen, and
has known the Ieets for many years,
completed the testimony In Mrs. Leet's
defense. This testimony was to the
effect that Mrs. Leet has always been
a kind and dutiful wife.
Mrs. Leet did not ask for a divorce
on her own account The testimony
was heard by Judge Cleland. and oc
cupied the afternoon. John C. McCue
conducted the case for Leet and Thomas
