She is now suing Rodriguez for divorce after little more than two months of matrimonial bliss. She charges her husband with threatening her life daily. They were married January § last. On Thursday last Mrs. Rodriguez had her husband arrested because of his cruelty and because, as she alleges, his actions caused h¥ to live in constant fear and dread, Joseph Tiedemann is suing May Tiede- mann for divorce on the ground of cruel- ty. They were married January 2, 1894, and have one child, the custody of whom the father asks for. Tiedemann charges that his wife deserted him on the day of their marriage and has ever since con- tinued to live apart from him. Frances C. Moore is suing J. C. Moore for divorce on the ground of desertion. They were married in January, 1899. Ac- cording to Mrs. Moore's complaint her husband deserted her in December, 1900. Mary Kim's marriage to John C. Kim in 1875 was not productive of happiness, according to the allegations in tré; com- plaint filed by her yesterday for divorce. She charges that almost daily since her marriage Kim has thréatened her lite. She had him arrested, she alleges, on the 15th inst. because of a fear that he would kil her.

C. Smith, secretary of the Pa- cific Debenture Company, has been cited by Justice of the Peace Dunn to appear this morning and show cause why he shonld not be punished for contempt of court. Smith refused yesterday to dis- close the secrets-of the company, against which William Caldwe!l had obtained a Jjudgment for $222 50.

When Smith wag asked to tell the name of the trustee who has control of all the moneys paid into’'& trust fund of the eorporation he refused to do so, om the ground that he would violate a prom- ise. Justice Dunn is in doubt whethen Smith is guilty of contempt or not, buff will hear argument on the point. @irineiieiiimieii but he did not know anything. Neithen did others who were called and turne out of the Grand Jury room at the avers age rate of one every two minutei “Never heard of the fund until I r of it in the paper” was the invariable answer given by the patrolmen. The reporter who was supposed to have written the article said he did not knew anything of the merits of the case. The matter may be taken up from time ta time until all the members of ‘the Polica Department have been examined. Con Donahue of First and B streets, who claims he was beaten by Harry Rossiter, a special police officer, on September 17, during the troublous times of the late strike, asked the Grand Jury to examine into the case.
