WAS LAVISH WITH MONEY. In her complaint for divorce, filed a week ago in Seattle, Miss Hite detailed Hamiin first met in Denver playing Telephone Girl”; how he per- followed her about the circuit and finally enticed her into a marriag which she claimed was fraught with ma pleasant experlences at first, but suddenly terminated in the way that many similar matches have. She charged that Hamlin had spent large sums of money upon her ewelry and fine dresses. but event er a wild time in this city, he had pawned her jewels and she had been compeiled to advance him money from her own small earnings in order to send him back to his family in Chicago. It was also alleged by the young wife that she was compelled to pay his bill at the The Palace and settle his obligations at the hotel bar. Hamlin was in Denver when he first heard of the proceedings instituted by his wife and hurriedly made preparations for a visit to this city, where he knew he would meet Miss Hite. He wants to have his wife modify the charges in her complaint and rectify certain other staté ments made by her in Seattle and tele- graphed broadly over the country. HIS MAD INFATUATION.

Husband Says Estate Was Left Jennie Mathews in England. Spectal Dispatch to The Call. LOS ANGELES, Sept. 16.—The body of Jennie Mathews, who died here practi- cally in the gutter in_1897, may be dug up and carried back to England to be used as evidence to secure a fortune. To-day David Mathews, who claims to be her | husband, came to the Courthouse and searched the records to learn under what conditions she dled and who would know about it. He stated to the court officials that her father has died and left the money to her. She being dead, Mathews is searching for proof of his heirship. Mathews found in the papers the infor- mation that she left two children, of which he knew nothing. The woman came here a good many years ago as a bride. She said that she and her hus- band had run away to be married to avold the interference of her English relatives. They had both lived in Eng- land. When they bad lived here awhile she decided to go back to England so | that her child might be born among | friends and on English soil. She bore but came back to Amer- fca without it. That was six years be- fore she died. When she came home she became ad- dicted to the use of whisky. She.and her husband had separated. Before she died he lived that she had two children, a little girl of 9 ars and a boy not over 2 This | age would not agree with. the age of the | child born in England six years before. The husband first learned of these chil- dren vesterday in reading the transeript. The woman came to a miserable death. One night in May, 1597, some one went to her room and found her dead in her bed. She had drunk herself to death Nothing is known of her real antece- dents or how prominent a man her father, who objected to her marriage with Mathews, may have been. One of the officials remonstrated yester- day with Mathews against trying to take up the body. It was pointed out that it would not be in a condition to admit of identification at this date. He contended, | however, that the woman was so soaked | actly with whisky that her body would be found in a perfect state of preservation. ————— Automobile Speed Restricted. ST.
