During the hearing Mrs. Johnson threw fiery glances at ber sister and made her- self £o obnoxious that the court had to admonish her to be quiet. She wanted to address the court, but Judge Ellsworth would not permit it. Judge Ellsworth finally took the case under advisement. He declined to appoint Mrs. Johnson guardian, saying that if she took her mother out of the State she would probably never bring her back. —_——————— In the Divorce Court. OAKLAND, March 8.—John J.

Mansfleld Tells Story of His Marital Vicissitudes. Oakland Office San Francisco Cail, 1118 Boardway, March 8. Mrs. Margaret H. Mansfield was in Judge Hall's court morning to tell why she wanted her marriage with Wil- ilam F. Mansfield annulled, she hav discovered a short time ago married him when he bad a ing. Mansfleld was there, too, and he told a story that revealed an interesting mar tal career. eplying to the q eld’s attorney, George de Golla, Maas- i told how he came to marry Mar- garet Martin in 1863, just after the Civil War broke out. He was a trooper then in a regiment that had been raised in Haltimore, where he met his first wife. He was a little confused as to names, but | the records of Bailtimore helped the cid | man to refresh his memory. He recog- | nized the names of MecNally as the preacher who married him and Bernard | McMuzray and Mary Larkin as witnesses | to the ceremony. Mansfield came back from the war un- scathed and went to live with his wife, and to them two children were born. But | he was dissatisfied with his life and im- nt to go to California, which he nally did. He did not hear from his wife for fifteen years, and them it was from | some one telling him she was dead. ~ In the meantime the old man had changed his name, which had alwayas been Monk, to Mansfield and_continues tnder that name at present. He gave @ reason for changing his name the dis- tasteful environment of his early life and especially of the war. “1 saw so much drunkenness and licen- tiousness in the war,” he said, “that I didn’t want anybody to know me by my fermer name.” | In 1587 Mansfield married the woman who is now suing him. The Rev. Dr. Hcrton, a former pastor of the First Presbyterian Church, performed the cere- mony. Mansfield recently wrote for a | pension at the behest of his wife, and it was through the correspondence with the Pension Department that he discovered that his first wife had lived and™drawn a | pension until her death in 1868, she hav- ing believed him dead. The second Mrs. Mansfleld, upon learn- ing this news, began suit for an annul- ment of her marriage. When asked why, now that the first wife is dead, she does not ecnsent to remain married, she re- d that she has conscientious scruples | against such contracts. Judge Hall finally sranted a decree set- ting aside the marriage. He said that the husband should have made more searching inquiries to ascertain if his first wife was dead.
