WIFE DESERTER GIVEN LIMIT
LOS ANGELES, Cal.? "The maxi-J
mum penalty for this offense is too
light for you in this case."
With these words, Judge Willis to
day sentenced Nell 13. Derry to two
years in Ftoisom for wife desertion,
the first sentence to be imposed in
this county under the new law mak
ing that offense punishable by a term
in the penitentiary. It was known
that Derry not only deserted his dost
Itute young wife, but ran away with
another woman.

jail sentence instead of one to the
state penitentiary, oil the . ground
that the prisoner might bo contami
nated.

state prison will be to the detriment
ot the other prisoners and not this
defendant," replied the court.

sul for Great Britain and a former

recently in a hotel here is dead.
Mr. Wilson was traveling for his

with madness while stopping here.
An effort was on foot to have him re

steadily in health, from the time, two
weeks ago, when he created a scene
in a local hotel by appearing on a
staircase with a drawn sword. He
was a prey to political worries.
Mr. Wilson was a millionaire. Deep
disappointment and continual brood
ing over his defeat for a seat in the
British parliament caused his mind
to give way.
Muir Wilson was in Skagway late
ast July and from here went to
