It was not known that he had been | granted a decree of divorce in 1884 by | Judge Hunt, nor was it known that at the | time of the fire his wife, ignorant of the | fact that any such decree had been entered, was then in Dawson City earning her own irig and wondering what had become of her husband. I The story reads like a romance. It is| told in a complaint filed in the Superior Court yesterday by W. L. Plerce and E. F. Preston, Mrs. White's attorneys. In the complaint it is allege the for- | tune White left to his relatives was based | upon money loaned to him by the woman he cast from him before they were mar- ried in 1883, and his will, filed just after his death, shows that he attempted to cut her out of any of his property by provid- ing $50 for any wife or widow who might prove her claim. The piaintiff in the present action was & Mrs. Jennie Tosney when she met White in this city in the early '80's. She had some property in New York, left her by her husband but a short time dead, and White was a struggling clerk in the em- ploy of the old dry goods firm of Curtin & He wooed and won the little widow romised him ispose of her property in New York she would-let him bave what money she could, and he prom- ised that when she gave him the money he would marry her. She =old her property and gave him $17,- 000, and then; on May 30, 1883, -she and White were married. For two weeks they lived happlly to- gether, and then Mrs. White discovered that her husband was not leading the life of & conscientious married man. Bhe up- bratded him for Ris manner of living, and he told her he had become so entangled with certain women that he could not break off his connections with them; he said he feared they would raise a scandal if he should refuse to consoft with them any more. And then he made this propo- sition: She was to go East to her rela- tives and his, and for a yvear she was to from New York, and she travel in the East, In Ireland—anywhere she pleased, in fact, only she was to re- main away from this coast. By the end of the year he would have sold his busi- ness In San Francisco and he would then join her, and together they would begin life anew in New York. e told her he was sick of his life in S8an Francisco and he was sick of San Francisco, and all he BROKE AND HE FELL TO HIS DEATH | some SAN PRANCIS(O wanted was to get away. Mrs. White did go East. She met her husband’s mother and stayed with her for time, and then, with money that White sent her, she crossed the sea and visited Ireland,’ where she_was born and where she had relatives. She came back to New York before the year was up, however, and when she wrote to White and told him h= sent word back that she had done wrong. Then in the spring of 1884 she came to San Fraieisco, but she did not stay long. White tol he had not been able to break 100; is old companions. He was going to do so, and if she remained out here it would make it all the harder for him. He had prospered and was well off. but he said he would be sure to cell the business before another year had passcd, and then he surely would join her n New York. fhe z;galn went back East and waited, but etill White had nothing more than ises to offer. He wrote frequently, did she, but his letters were of s¢ only—that he would soon be able ispose of his business and then he would come East to her. e 18, White and his wife carried on this kind of a correspondence, and half a dozen times during those years she came out here, sometimes for a few days, some- times for a few weeks, but always White urged her to return and not endanger him by her presence. In her complaint the wife says she learned after years of ex- rience that his promises were valueless, ut she could do nothing but comply with his requests that she remain East, and so she stayed away from him. In 155 she started to come to San Frao- cisco, but on her way out here she heard of the Klondike excitement, and being » woman of decision she changed her course and went up Into ihe gold flelds. For a 00d many of ihe years she had spent in New York she had supported herself Ly keeping a boarding-house, and she went into the same business in Dawson and made money. She was in Dawson when she heard of her husband's death. When White died he was worth some- thing over $100,000, and his widow wrote to Judge Plerce, one of the attorneys in the present sult, asking him to arrange whatever formalities were necessary in regard to the share she thought was hers. Judge Plerce took up the ease and found firet that the will made no provision for her; that White declared he was unmar- ried and childless and had provided for any possible wife that might appear to clalm his monei;. Then, looking further, Pierce found the record of the divorce granted In 1884. He notified Mrs. White at once, and she started from Dawsona few days before last Christmas. She came out on the ice and hod a journey full of hardsws and perils, arriving here last April. ork on the rapers in the suit was at once com- menced and yesterday it was filed. to a short time before his death in | MWHEN SHE HEARD OF THE DIVORCE S DI P 0040404040 00+D 4000400 4O+ 40+ D400 THE PLAINTIFF AND THE MAN TO WHOM SHE THOUGHT SHE WAS MARRIED. T e e e In her suit Mrs. White prays only that the decree of divorce entered in October of 1884 be set aside as fraudulent and false. The divorce was granted on the ground of desertion. It was alleged that the defendant, “‘disregarding her marriage vows and obligations, did, on the §th day of June, A. D., 1883, willfully, intention- ally and without cause or provocation, or any cause or provocation, desert the plaintiff,” and had, ever since the date named, “continued to desert the plaintiff, | and to llve separate and apart” from him. His letters to her at that time are fllled with pleadings that she remain away from him, and promises that he would join her as- soon as he could. There is a record that summons had been published, and there is also an affidavit among papers, in which Charles Koleman swears that he personally served upon Mrs. ‘White, the defendant in the divorce suit, a copy of the divorce complaint and a summons to appear in court and defend the actlon. This, he swore, was done in New York City. wag never summoned, nor did she know of the suit until after her husband's death and when Judge Plerce wrote to her while she was in Dawson. The decree of dlvorce was franted on the ground of desertion, the default of the defendant having been entered, and all those vears, and at the times when she saw him on her brief visits out here, Mrs. White declares White never told her of the decree and never let her know any- tiing about the suit. people ever told of it, but she says she does not think they knew any more about the decree than she did, There are quite a number of defendants to the suit just filed, and these represent the relatives of White. Just before he died he invested $60,000 in an annuity, and it is the opinion of the attorneys that this cannot be recovered $100,000 left, and M: secure her widow's share. The divorce must first be set aside, and then when that has been done she will seek In the probate court to have one-half of the proyen{ distributed to her. Why White secured the divorce is what lain. He was always well spoken in his letters to her, and they never quarreled. She has numbers of let- ters, dated before and after the decree, which are filled with pleadings to her to remain away, and she cannot understand his desire for a divorce. He did come East once, a few years be- fore he died, after having sold his busi- ness, but he had another excuse for not remaining with his wife. She declares he sald then that hé was Interested in a big mining deal and that he would have to travel lhrnu%h the States for a while be- fore he could settle down; but that then his wife cannot ex; he would come to her and they would live | together. At that time the divorce decree had been entered in Judge Hunt's court over ten years. OLD COUPLE WILL RIN THEIR HEARTS AND HANDS homa to Make Mrs. Elizabeth Weed His Bride. That people are never too old to take a clear yesterday when James E. Coomes, who gave his age as 71, procured a license from “Cupid” Danforth to marry Mrs. Elizabeth R. Wood, who smilingly ac- knowledged to 65 years. The old couple will join thelr hearts and hands before a priest yet to be selected some time to-day, and so will culminate a little romance which had its origin when they were boy and girl together. Mrs. Wood resides at 804 McAllister street, in this city, and with her are sev- eral grown-up sons and daughters and a half-dozen sf&ndchlldren. of whom she is Justly proud. She has n a widow for some years and her prospective husband also mourns for a departed wife. ‘When Mr. Coomes journeyed all the way from Owens, Oklahoma Territory, to see the companion of his boyhood days it did not take long for the little god of love to instill in the old folks a mutual affection, which soon ripened into lov. mdmeyr-olvodumnmtvlmt& their lives in each other’s company. Sur- rounded by her children and grandchil- dren, Mrs. Wood will be joined to-day to the man of her choice. It has not been declded whether they will go back to Ok- lahoma, where Mr. Coomes is engaged in business.

Maggie Miller, 22 years of age, while walking with a male companion on Grant avenue, near Sutter street, last night at- tempted to commit suicide by taking a dose of carbolic acid. Her companion knocked the bottle of poisen from the woman’'s hand and the liquid splashed over her face and chin, burning her severely. The woman made a similar attempt to commit suicide about three weeks ago at California street and Central avenue. Ac- cording to her story she was engaged for a long time to John Murphy, a carpenter, but was deserted by him recently. Last night she went to the Orpheum with Mur- phy's friend and on her way home de- cided to end her life with the poison which she had carried with her for several days.
