July 17, 1913 Oakland Tribune Newspaper Article: MARITAL TROUBLE AIRED IN COURT Alfred G. Malson Recites Tale of Domestic Strife in Divorce Suit.
That his wife preferred the company of Marshall Davoust is one of the allegations made by Alfred G. Malson in his cross-complaint to the divorce suit of Etta Malson Alleging numerous incidences of rickiness, Malson tells about one occasion when she left him and had a quarrel with Davoust at Eighteenth and Grove streets, in August, 1911. At that time, it is alleged, she received a black eye and the police were called in. Chief of Police Petersen, then a captain of inspectors, was appealed to by Malson after his wife had promised to be good. She was instructed to notify the police if the other man annoyed her any more. Later the couple telephoned for assistance in ousting Davoust from their apartments, but Mrs Malson refused to swear to a complaint, and the matter was dropped.
On another occasion Malson says that his wife left their apartments at 722 Eighth street and visited Davoust at 715 Thirteenth street. He says he accosted them together there and demanded that she choose between them, with the result that she decided to remain with Davoust.
While living at 800 Fourteenth street, Malson says he returned home suddenly one evening and found that his wife, assisted by Mrs. O. M. Crandall, had prepared a dinner for four which included a demijohn of whiskey. Upon his arrival the two men who had been invited as guests refused to enter and the couple quarreled again.
