Morning Oregonian October 15,1904
Belle Swartz, who was granted a divorce from Harry Swartz,a printer, becuase 
of desertion, testified he stayed out with the boys and drank up the money he 
earned, and then there was trouble. We went to Victoria and he was employed on 
the Colonist. He ws supposed to get through work at 2 o'clock ans sometimes he 
did not come home until 8 or 9 o'clock in the morning,spending the time 
drinking. That caused trouble between us. My husband left me and I had to send 
to my father in Albany for money to come home.
Mrs. Swart further testfiied that Swartz afterwards went to Omaha. When he 
returned she saw him and asked him id he wnted to live with her and treat her 
as a wife should be treated. he answered no and refused to contribute towards 
expenses of obtaining a divorce. He showed her a telegram signed "Bessie" 
which stated that Bessie would soon join him. They were married in Portland in 
March 1898, and the desertion began May 30,1900.
