proceedings were had in court which termi-
mated in a decree of divorce being granted to

however, that suit for seduction HAD been
filed in the court, and is still pending
Out of consideration for his own family
and the women he has wronged, publicity
has been withheld up to this time by the.
press. But as Hascall is now a candidate
