WHO COMMITTED FORGERY?
E. o. jackson Says He Knows Nothing
Of the Snipman Divorce
Suit

Somebody in Silver Bow county IS
likely to get herself into trouble over
the divorce suit brought by Sidonia
Shipman against Otis c. Shipman.
Last fall Mrs. Shipman instituted sui.
against her husband to annul the mar
rage contract existing between them,
but just who the attorney is with VIII IN
she negotiated is a matter that will
probably be investigated by the county
attorney. The name of E. o. Jackso i
Is attached to the complaint, but Mr..
jackson stated today that the signature
was a rank forgery, and he had never
had anything to do with the case. He
also said the, complaint was sworn to
before Burt Marsh, who is not member
OF the bar.
few days ago Mrs. Shipman wrote
the clerk of the court for a copy of tho
decree in the case, imagining herself d.
vorced, but the court records show that
no decree has ever been ordered. The
proofs in the case have not even been
taken.
1t now transpires that Mrs. Shipman
Is married again and living with her
new husband in Idaho.
About the time she wrote the clerk
in regard to the decree her first hus-
band who is now in Missoula, also wrote
to ascertain the status of the case
brought by the woman. He said he had
entered suit against her in Missoula.
but if she had already obtained the de
cree would drop his acl1oo: otherwise he
would prosecute it.
