Effort to Have Celebrated Case in Iowa
Reopened.
/, DUBUQUE, Iowa, Feb. 23-One of the most
famous divorce cases in the history of Iowa
will come up for hearing at Edna, county
seat of Hardin county, tomorrow. It is a
counterpart of the famous Flaok divorce
suit in New York. Col. Il. S. Ellsworth is a
prominent politician and millionaire resid-
ing in Iowa Falls. Last December, it is
stated, he entered suit for divorce, alleging
infdelity on the part of his wife. Instead
of the case being heard in open court in
regular order it was advanced on the
docket and tried in the privacy of q
hotel chamber. where no one was present
except Judge Hidman, the plaintiff and his
attorneys. She was then, it is said, visiting
in Colorado. Not only was she divorced in
this star chamber, but she was also de-
prived Of the custody of her children and
any share whatever in the husbands vast
property. There is said to be nothing
whatever on the court records to show the
character of the testimony upon which the
divorce was granted. Mrs. Ellsworth now
sues to have the case reopened. In her pe-
tition she makes some star tling disclosures.
and alleges that she knew nothing whatever
of her husbands suit until served with
notice of the decree. and that her husband
attempted to force her to confession of

Scraps of other letters of the same tenor
were found in the room. Judson says he
has been an intimate friend Of the suicide.
For some time past Breedlove had been do
pressed in mind over financial matters and
failure to establish himself in his profess

on visit to Baltimore. AS he entered the
room the doctor handed him the letter and
while he was reading it heard the fatal
