Chances are you know neither Bertha Wampler, Who brought the suit, nor Arthur Beinert, the de fendant, but it is of vital interest to you, neverthe- less. Me. WAMPLER was injured by Beinert’s auto Her foot was amputated. She started suit for damages. Before the trial her husband deserted her and | the three minor children. He was jailed under the “lazy husband act,” for desertion Beinert offered the husband $300 and received his written release from all claims of the wife for damages. W! the case came to trial, Beinert offered this written release, and the trial judge ac cepted it. Mrs. Wampler offered to prove that her band had not consulted her in giving the rel : | that it was given in spite; that her claim was the only property of value belonging to her, and that the $300 had been used by the husband in securing his liberty on the criminal charge, in paying his attorneys’ fees and in bringing a divorce action inst her. “eThe trial judge refused to allow this evidence to be given, discharged the jury and dismissed the ease. He held that the husband had a right to thus Settle the claim, altho the law provides that a wife feparated from her husband may sue and be sued alone. Mrs. Wampler appealed to the supreme court, and the decision was unanimously reversed. The Supreme court held that when a husband deserts his wife and minor children, he forfeits all his privileges as a husband, and Mr. Wampler was given the right to recover for her injuries. If the decision of the trial judge had stood as law, Mrs. Wampler and her three children would have been rendered destitute. ) ‘HIS is the way the Wempler-Beinert case inter- ests you. ‘Judge William Askren, of Pierce county, was the } trial judge who held against Mrs. Wampler. _ 4 Judge William Pemberton was the supreme jus- | tice who wrote the opinion reversing Askren, back ue : S NOW SEEKING PEMBERTON’S PLACE ON THE SUPREME BENCH. “It will be up to you, in November, to decide which is the better man for the job. as Cross Word Puzzles ai ‘HE STAR introduced Seattle newspaper readers to | the Cross Word Puzzle for two purposes: 4.
