VOUNG WIFE SAYS HUSBAND GALLED HER VILE NAMES DEFENDANT IN DIVORCE ACTION SAYS WIFE WAS TOO GAY, HOWEVER. MARY FIRST, TWENTY-FOUR, WOULD BE FREE FROM JACOB FIRST, FIFTY-FOUR. Mary It.

First, twenty-four years old, has been busy all day today in the superior court, assisted by her attorney, Harry Rhys Davids, In freeing herself from her matrimonial alli.ince with her fifty-four-year-old husband, Jacob II. First, whose defense Is in the hands of Hugh K. Osburn. Mr. First, whose home Is on Pearl street, Is almost blind, barely being able to distinguish light from darkness, and his wife, who occupied the witness chair before Judgo Smith all the morning, is a dark-eyed, adive looking young woman, with a propensity for parrying questions on cross-examination.

The husband is charged in the complaint with extreme cruelty, the wife alleging that she waB finally to leave their home with their three-year-old child as a result of actions and the vile names he was accustomed to call her. On cross-examination this morning, when questioned by Attorney Osburn regarding the charge of her husband that she was guilty of Improprieties with younger men, she admitted that she was at the present time living In a cabin with a young man with whom she was cutting wood, but that they occupied separate rooms In the cabin. She testified that her husband once threatened to Wcfc her out of their house, at the same time calling her names she never could forgive him for. She is asking for $150 attorney fees and $40 per month alimony, and she wants her Interest protected in the home property on Pearl street, which she values at $2000. It is thought that when the husband's side of the case Is presented a strong fight will be made against making him pay alimony for the reason that his blindness precludes any chance of his earning much money.
