Mr.. Aaron Hershfield and Mrs. L.. ii
Hershfield lave an Interesting Talk
About Each Other.

About Each Other.
FARGO, Nov. 22.-The Herschfeld di
vorce case is still attracting great attep
ton. The array Of lawyers is able, anc
the testimony is liable to be sensational
The two points of the Herechfeld eide
are that the man was of unsound minc
when he married and was roped into the
marriage, and also that the defendant
wife was unchaste at the time of the
marl.-ge. Quite a number of deposi
tons have been read in support Of the
insanity claim, and several, all thus far
from hotel attendants, in support of the
claim of unchastity, though the latter
are very weak.
A feature of the case is that the legal
battle is being supplemented by a news
paper, in which both sides seem to have
pretty good supporters. Yesterdays
Associated Press dispatch sent from
Fargo says:
Several days ago there appeared in
the Chicago Tribune a Fargo dispatch
claiming to give the history of the
Hershfeld case, and an interview with
Mrs. Aaron Hershfield. She said that
coming from Helena to Fargo Mrs. L. II.
Hershfield and her friends persisted in
walking past her and jeering at her and
the sutferings of her baby, which was
sick. These statements were answered
in the Daily Forum last evening. Mrs.
l.. II. Hershfield was eulogized as a lady
of refined tastes and good breeding, and
it was declared preposterous that she
could be ~ungenerous to anyone
The Commonwealth interviewed Mrs
Aaron Hershfeld today. She said: 81
do not see how any one could be so man.
ifestly unfair in their statements. l
brine all this present trouble between
us-myself and husband-upon Mrs. L.
H. Hershtield. If the people only knew
her-but they probably do, at least they
do in Helena. All this talk about her
being such a fine lady with such antece-
dents! Why, l could tell a good many
things about her antecedente. l could
tell all about how L. H. Hershfeld got
acquainted with her while she was the
wife of a Mr.. Aaron when she kept a
cigar store in the little town of Virginia
City, and also about the $500 Mr.. Aaron
received for divorcing her.
"Why," she exclaimed with spirit, "she
is no more fit to be a bankers wife than
the lowest servant. The statement is all
true about Mrs. L. II. trying to make a
on the cars.
"Whenever she pass ed she would make
face or laugh and try to create a dis
turbance, but l would not be guilty Of
noticing or paying any attention to her.
She was not in her stateroom one-third
Of the time during the day, but was
cards or boldly making sport Of
and my troubles"
Commenting editorially on the case
the Daily Commonwealth says: "The
Daily Forum has gone far out of its way
to do a lady harm who ranks far above
her tormentors in every particular, and
it's house Of Hershfeld' smells a little
too much Of the yoke to crafty the free
people of the northwest. If
half the many things said about this
house Of Hershfield' are true their case
would parallel the celebrated Breckin-
case with Pollard left off"
Mrs. Aaron Hershffeld says the Asso-
papers we're subsidized by her enemies
is wrong, and that they have all treated
her with great fairness
