MySource:Scotishmariner/Los Angeles Daily Times Wife's Wail Helps Man Get Divorce

There was a wail in the letter which Mrs. Lucille Semnacher wrote her husband, Alfred Semnacher, after she left him and their three children for love of another man. She said she was sick of everything. She told her husband she wanted to go where she did not know anybody, work and forget everything. Realizing, perhaps, that she had lost her children, she admonished Mr. Semnacher to be good to them "as I shall know as sure as naything, if you are not." Mr. Semnacher, manager for Virginia Rappe and other cinema people, who was granted a divorce in Judge Summerfield's court yesterday, told the court that one of his children informed him that her mama and Carrol Flemin had been hugging and kissing. Fleming, it appeared, usurped Mr. Semnacher's right as head of the house. The complaint, prepared by Attorney Frank A. McDonald, mentioned that Fleming washed the dishes and wound the clock. "And put out the cat, locked up the house and everything, eh"" queried the Court. "That's about it." was the response of Mr. Semnacher. The hugging and kissing episode broke up the home. Mrs. Semnacher went away with Fleming, it was stated, and she has not communicated with her children since, Mr. Semnacher stated. According to the testimony of Dep. Dist. Atty,. Joos, Mrs. Semnacher admitted her infatuation for Fleming. She said she was sorry and would try to do better. Fleming is said to be wanted by the Federal authorities, Mr. Semnacher, the Burns Detective Agency and two hotels. He worked in the cinemas as an extra. He posed as an ex-millionaire, racer, boxer, aviator, champion shipyard riveter and former British officer.
