SAN JOSE, July 12—A woman's fickleness and duplicity have again been the cause of the wrecking of a good home, with all the comforts and luxuries that money could buy. This time the actors in the domestic drama are John A. Hammersmith of the firm of Hammersmith & Field, wholesale jewelers at 118 Sutter street, San Francisco, and Besldes the usual threatened sult for { divorce, Mrs. Hammersmith may have to face a graver charge in the courts— that of arson. The third in the dra- matls personae is Peter Ennis, who un- til about a year ago was a ragged roustabout in San Jose and Santa Clara. Now he bids fair to become co- respondent in divorce proceedings. Hammersmith and his wife lived for 5 | | | he | he | he | vears at 2830 Bush street, San Francisco. There a well-appointed |home was kept up. Mrs. Ham- | mersmith’s mother and father, Mr. on|and Mrs. Quince, live at Santa Clara, and she generally spent the | spring months at their home. Her hus- | band made her a liberal allowance, and she had a stylish horse and phaeton. This last luxury necessitated the em- ployment of a hostler and coachman, and Peter Ennis secured the place. In their daily drives a mutual attach- ment sprung up and this ripened into love Mrs. Hammersmith declined to | return to San Francisco, and moved to this city. A house was rented on Wil- son avenue, near the Alameda. The place was fitted up elegantly. Ennis was brought along, and instead of be- ing coachman he arose to a more in- fluential position. About this time a coolness sprang up 4between Hammersmith and his wife, to of | to as his pretty wife. | and although he gave her plenty of money, he nev visited her. Ennis’ | streak of good fortune then commenced, |and he displayed diamonds galore and | had “money to burn.” He introduced Mrs. Hammersmith as his wife, and among her new acquaintances she | | passed as Mrs. Ennis. The woman and her erstwhile coachman were greatly devoted to each other and were out rid- ing every afternoon and evening. Ennis longed to be a man of influ- ence and dabble in politics. In order to gratify his wish Mrs. Hammer- | smith started him in the saloon busi- ness at Pleasant and Santa Clara streets, this city. The venture was a losing one, and after a few months was continued. Mrs. Hammersmith had plenty of money and the couple still | enjoyed life to its fullness. | Their home on Wilson avenue with {its elegant fitings was insured for $2000 in the Globe Insurance Company of | Liverpool. On the night of July 4 the | place was nearly destroyed by fire. The | policy had been made in the name of | John A. Hammersmith, and a few days ‘l:ne-r he and Adjuster Mead of the | company visited the place for the pur- | pose of settling the losses. Instead of | traces of costly draperies, bric-a-brac |and furniture, it could be seen that in | the place there had been only.the com- monest of furniture and matting on the | floor. Mead refused to adjust matters and detectives were employed to dig | up evidence for a charge of arson. The | case was reported to the District At- | torney, and Constable Haley began to | work on it.
