ACTOR FOLK AIR TROUBLES Mrs. Maude Amber Wilkerson Makes a Charge of Infidelity Tells Tale of Lovemaking of Defendant and Myrtle Rose- dale, a Dashing Soubrette CENELL AR The trials and tribulations in the married life of Ira Puerl Wilkerson and his wife, Maude Amber Wilkerson, came up for their first official airing in Superior Judge Murasky's court yesterday morning. The footlight fa- vorite charges her spouse with infidel- | ity and, according to the testimony of Mrs. Ovita Hawes, a chorus girl, Wil- kerson was in the habit of making vio- | lent love to Myrtle Rosedale while on the road with the “Fiddle Dee Dee”| company. The entire day was taken up in ex- amining Miss Amber and the chorus girl. The former was on the stand but | a few minutes during the morning ses- | sion and had little to say. The chorus | girl was given a chance to talk freely when her turn rolled around, but she | proved about the most forgetful sort! of person that ever evaded the court| room. Maude acted as chaperon for a bunch of fair ones from the O'Farrell- street playhouse. They were all adorned with their swagger appal‘el' and wore picture hats for the finishing | effect. They seemed to have a grudge | against Wilkerson, and when not busy craning their necks to catch bits of spicy testimony, they varied the mo- notony by shooting needle-like glances | at the defendant, who sat a few feet away. Miss Amber was the .first witness called, and she said what was required of her cheerfully. She stated that she married Wilkerson in Kanpsas City in December, 1890. They lived for a time in New York and various places and came to this city in 1901. Miss Amber did not seem ‘to know much about the infidelity of her | husband, but she left all that to Mrs. Hawes, who was quite familiar with the inside details of what happened on | the road. The chorus girl got along very nicely while being directly examined by At-| torney William Humphries, but as soon as Lawyer Newbrough began a cross- | examination, her mind suddenly took | a wandering turn and it never ceased | to wander for a moment while she was | on the stand. She did not remember any streets further west than Pgwell | and when dates were brought up the poor girl was really mystified. 1 RECEIVES A LETTER. She testified to having received lhf‘,v following letter and sent the answer to | Miss Amber: FRISCO, 11-20, 1902, eathe: nt to ask yon something, and I want you ie the truth, Did you see my husband | 5 You can rest assured if | Your position will not be Mr. de Forrest says u said it one time when she fainted, and that you, with some of the other giris, said it was | perfectly disgusting. Wire me your reply at ense. Yours very truly, MAUD AMBER. Picase tell me the truth. Witness testified to having sent the | following reply to Miss Amber: | Nov. 23, 1902, | Miss Amher—Dear Madame: { I never, as lo as Bertie Starret was with | our company, w Mr. Wilkerson treat her oth- | erwise than as any man of his age would treat a child of her age who was away from home for the first time in her life, | 1‘ w your husband kiss Bertie. I did not. | “He has always been a perfect gentleman and | has been triendly with all the girls and ha | never ted ‘any of us but as ladies. Your: | sincere OVITA LEATHE. The witness” testified that she was married but a short time ago and that her former name was Ovite Leathe. | She stated that she sent the letter to | | Miss the infidelity of Wilkerson. She learn- ed of this later, while the “Fiddle Dee | Dee” company was on the road in the Northwest. \ MAKES LOVE TO SOUBRETTE.

Cunningham and His Bride Enter on Their Honey- | Justice Daniells Figures in ' the Coneluding Chapter of a Salt Lake City Romance ; i ! Under the inscrintion of “F. B, Cook and wife, of Sacramento,” James A. Cunningham, a wealthy mining man of Salt Lake, and - his fair young bride, also of the same city, endeavored yesterday to conceal their presence at the Palace Hotel, while they entered upon their honeymoon. The culmination of their marital ro- | mance, which began with the aged capltalist's aquiet departure from Sal Lake, followed by that of Miss Bessie | Glass, a former milliner of the Mor- mon City, who joined him in this city ! Tuesday, occurred yesterday after- noon, when the couple, despite the protests from the mining man’s chil- dren, secured a license and were promptiy married. | | bam and Miss Glass visited “Cupid” Danforth’s office at the City Hall, ob- tained a marriage license and immedi- | ately after repaired to the chambers of | Justice of the Peace Daniells, by whom the nuptia! knot was tied. In the ab-| sence of friends of the bridal couple Justice Daniells pressed into service nsi a necessary witness to the ceremony | a courtroom clerk, and ten minutes | later Mr. and Mrs. Cunningham were | where they had made their sepnrate‘ abodes the night previous. In his ap- plication for a license Cunningham gave his age as 60 years and that of his bride as 28. Arriving at the Grand, Cunningham | promptly paid his bill and ordered a porter to take his own as well as his wife’s baggage to the Palace Hotel, where it was ordered stored. This move was apparently intended asa ruse, with the view of throwing In-| minutes later the bride ana groom quietly entered the Palace, where the registered “F, B. Cook and wife, Sacramento,” and they were/ shown to their rooms. Cunningham last evening expressed | himself as indignant qver the publicity | given to his matrimonial affairs, which | he attributes to the meddlesome dispo- sition of several of his wife's acquaint- | ances in Salt Lake. The fact that he had heen married before and was the father of several grown children, he said, was no reason why he should not be permitted to marry again, and in doing so he remarked that he did not! think it within the province of friends! or relatives to suggest whom he should ‘ engage as his fireside companion. KEEPER A ORDINANCE Turns on the Gas at the Meter Daily and Frank Elfros Is Suffocated. Landlord J. J. Sweeney of the lodg- ing house at 114 Pacific street ad- mitted to Deputy Coroner Brown yes- terday that he had been in the habit of turning the gas off at the meter between 8 and 9 o'clock in the morn- ing and turning it on again at 4 or 4:20 in the afternoon. The subject that led up to that admission was the dead body of Frank Elfros, who had | been suffocated in bed by the fumes of illuminating gas which had escaped during the night from a burner, the key of which was partly open. Elfros was 65 years old and a na- tive of Russia. He had followed the business of a building contractor up to the time that he lost an arm by the falling of a steel beam in the Mills Amber before she was aware of | building, on which he had a sub-con- | | tract. Latterly he had been employed i:u odd times as a watchman. —_—————————— For Christmas Gifts We have on exhibition a fine line of | framed pictures, showing all the new effects in Flemish, old Dutch and ebony | frames, with tinted mats to match.

One of the most notable of these was hat proposed by M. Santareau, that instead of following M. de Lesseps’ plan of a sea level canal, there be made a lake on the high level, with guick- acting locks to raise and lower the ves | This body of water, he estimated, would cover twenty-four kilometers of the distance, leaving only fifty kilome- ters of cut for docks and water levels. By this plan the largest portion of the swampy land would be covered, and thus nearly the whole of the 500,000 hectares of land owned by the canal company would be rendered habitable. ! The waters of the Chagres River would be utilized also, and one of the most troublesome problems of the route would be disposed of. “This plan is now worthy of further attention, for, if my memory serves me aright, the depth intended and already cut is insufficient for ships now being built; therefore, the so-called ‘finished part’ must be gone over and cut to the required depth. Health conditions to be considered are not only those which concern the laborers now, but the crews and passengers of the ships going across the isthmus. A deep cut under a tropical sun, with its malarial atmos- phere, might soon become too unpopu- lar to use, except in exceptional cases. The covering with salt water of the wampy portion, thereby destroying malaria, and the crossing at a high alti- tude where probably a strong draft of pure ai* would be in constant flow, is no small advantage offered by the plan of M. Santareau.” —_———————— Talks to Navy League. 8. Frest delivered an interest- C.
