SAKS DOCTOR-WIFE
THREATENED LIFE
Prominent. Woman Pbjsician
Corroborates Allegations of
Husband that She Drew
Gun on Him.
Dr. Mattie L. Arthur, prominent
Omaha woman physician, testifying in
divorce court before Judge Sears in
the suit brought by her husband,
John G Arthur, aged lawyer, de
clared the only item which ie had
contributed toward upkeep of their
home in the last thirty years was
five bushels of potatoes, which, she
said, he bought in 1888.
"That was the last time J. G. Ar
thur ever contributed a penny into
the home. I've paid the bills since,"
she testified, leaning forward in the
witness box and directing her gaze
at her husband, who sat across the
court room, flanked on both .sides by
attorneys.
"No, I'll take that back," int-rposed
Dr. Arthur a moment later as one of
her attorneys resumed cross-examination.
"Some time in the '90s I believe he
did bring home a package of break
fast food, the kind he liked particu
larly, one day. And I think he bought
a loaf of bread on another occasion.
But that is all."
Arthur, now an inmate of the
Florence House of Hope, is suing Dr.
Arthur on grounds of alleged cruelty.
He alleges she stripped him of
what wealth he had and then com
pelled him to leave their home at 1333
South Thirty-third street.
Makes Counter Allegations.
Dr. Arthur makes counter allega
tions her husband has "sponged" off
her practically all of their married
life.
She also says he never told her of
a former marriage and the existence
of a grown daughter until recent
years.
Arthur alleged in his petition his
wife threatened to kill him.
She told of the episode in her
testimony today.
"I had discovered lie had been prev
iously married when I was married to
him at Oakland, Neb., in 1880.
"On April 4, 1915, I walked into a
room where he was and Rocked the
door.
"I laid a revolver cross my lap and
said:
" 'J. G, d you, if you don't tell
me where and when you were married
I'll blow your contemptible brains
out.
"Then he said, "I guess I can die.
i "I told him he didn't need to die;
all he had to do was to tell me when
and where he was married."
The suit has attracted large crowds
of court room spectators, mostly
women.
