Writes From England Saying She Will Appear and Give Battle. James B. Johnstone, former member of | the Queen’s Guard, at present proprietor | of the Union Hotel at 912 Michigan street, has encountered a snag in his efforts to sccure a divorce from Georgina Johnstone that from present appearances will cause | him a deal of trouble. The snag appeared | yesterday in the shape of a letter from | Mrs. Johnstone, who is in Liverpool, Eng- land, in which she denies that she ever | deserted her husband, as he alleges in his | complaint, and asks for an extension of | time to enable her to travel across the ocean and continent to defend herself. Judge Murasky granted her request and set the date of trial forty days from yes- | teraay. | The Johnstones were married at Liver- pcol, England, in 18%6. Accomding to the band’'s complaint his wife deserted in this city in 1893 without cause or on, and that notwithstanding numer- efforts-on his part to get her to re- turn to him she persistently refuses to do so. This allegation Mrs. Johnstone em- phatically denfes, and she makes affida- | vit that Johnstone was the one who did The strange feature of the |affair is Mrs. Johnstone's allegation Iin | this respect. She charges that she was | abandoned by Johnstone in Liverpool fif- | teen years ago in anything but a credita® | ble manner, and that she is still residing |in the very house at which she alleges Johnstone fled. Thus the allegation in Mrs. Johnstone's aflidavit and the charge in Johnstone's | complaint vary. Which one of the par- ties is gullty is a matter for the court to | dctermine. Johnstone refuses to discuss the matter, gaying when questioned about | it that it was too delicate a matter to | talk about. | Edward H. Beal, the Southern Pacific gutekeeper, who is accused:of abducting | laa Brown and who is being sued for divorce by Nellie Beal on the ground of { infidelity, filed an answer to his wife's [un.pl‘afnt vesterday. He denies that he was intimate with the Brown girl, and sets up as his defense the alleged fact | that Mrs. Beal condoned his offenses, He | also makes the defense that as he and | his wife have only been residents of this county for one week that she has no right ‘u bring an action for divorce in the | courts here. Beal attempted to commit | suicide the day following the discovery of escapade with Ida Brown, who amed co-respondent In the divorce g on the day Mrs. Beal filed | ker action In divorce her husband at- | tempted to assault her. Suits for divorce were filed by Beatrice | Volsard against Francois Volsard for | neglect, and Helen Booth against G. E. L.

Such an appeal was made yesterday in the Supe- rior Court, where Joshua L. Isaacs filed: a suit for an accounting and to set aside Sarah R. Jacobs. He also asked that a recelver be appointed to care for the property in dispute pending the llllxa—l tion. According to Isaacs’ complaint he | yielded to the importuning of his daugh- | ter in August, 1898, and deeded her a lot on O'Farrell street and two lots in Ala- | meda. She promised, he alleges, to allow | him to enjoy the income from the O'Far- rell-street property during tks rest of his life in return for the gift, and told him, | as a further reason for the gift, that, as she was his natural helr and would ac- quire the property upon his death, to deed the reaity as she suggested would mean the saving of probate expenses. “I am an old man,” complained Isaacs, “and hgving lived with my daughter for thirty years reiled upon the love and af- | fection she displayed: for me for care in | my old age. The deeds were duly re- corded, and matters ran along until I| asked for a part of the income, accord- ing to our agreement. She told me there | was no income; that the expense of car: ing for the property was greater than th sum derived from it. I believed her, and, though I made the same request several times, I did not pay much attention to her continued refusals. On January 15 of this year I learned that I had been deceived. I found that the income from the property was much larger than the sum needed to keep it in repairs, and learned that my daughter had willfully defrauded me. I spoke to her of our agreement and she told me that none such existed.” Counterfeiter Must Stand Trial. The demurrer of Emile Menneglier to the indictment of having conspired against the Government in assoclating with Frank Saunders and Herman Schmult to produce counterfeit money was yesterday overruled by Judge de Haven of the United States District Court and his trial on this charge was set for February 9. He entered a special plea in bar and a plea of not guilty, claiming that since he had pleaded guilty to the charge of counterfeiting the case | against him on the grounds of conspiracy | should be dismissed. —_—————— Sherwood Cascarone Party.
