His death lead to several failures, which
are said to have aggerated $4,000, 900. 1t
will be claimed that there are informalities
in the Cincinnati divorce which, taken in
connection with the woman's character
and career, will make it easy to secure a
declaration that her marriage with Paige
was void. II is said the estate is worth
