Dear S5.
expected 10 meet you at Louisville mt
the recent Masonic gathering, when we
could have had fuller and more satisfac-
tory talk 100 regard TO the evidence ! wish to
get mp for Use In this divorce case eN-
pect TO go TO Louisville in October, but in
the meantime will give you these points as
to the parties who mutually wish divorce
An army officer wishes divorce In order
to marry a wealthy New York woman and
go abroad TO live, wEere the lady has lived
for the past ten years The officers wife
who is "a young woman of remarkable
beauty Is TO marry a New York million
aire, q bachelor Of 6o
Now no grounds exist for divorce, and
there are no children in the case, but the Off
Ger will allow the charge of adultery to be
made and will let the suit 60 by default, as
the wife desires no alimouy. Assuch a charge
would affect bis standing as an officer, in
case of trouble. his plan is to let his wife
get all his papers ready TO file, and then re-.
sign and file them and ne win go at once to
France
So my plan is to get you to employ some
woman TO write him from time To- time low
ing letters and mail them to him, care of
the Army aud Navy Club, Washington, d.
C. His present wife will call there for his
mail, get these letters and begin the suit
ON them Then her attorney will take the
leterwriter's testimony, and a decree will
easily be granted on the letters and the testi-
mony The suit will be entered at Wash
ington, as the files there are kept secret for
ever If the parties wish &C. and it Is the
easiest place In the United States to get
divorce. Now, as soon as you write that
you can get up letters and evidence ! will
send you $3.50 and $3.50 when IL Is done.
The main reason for secrecy is that the Off
GERS new wife is never, under any cirCum-
stances, to know the grounds Of divorce,
but will be told "desertou,n which win
llok plausibI. , ne has been In Nlauila

there ] am TO get $1,000 for this work and
am dividing even with you. The officer
was in Lexington and Louisville three
weeks last summer and spring, so you can
use your own good Judgment as to which
place you will lay the scene.
Yours truly
CHAs D. SHERMAN.
p. S.-You need not give any reference at
present, as my friends, Lambert g. Lambert
lawyers, Of this city, tell me that you are
strictly reliable but as I promised not TO
alude TO them In writing you must destroy
this. You understand
The misuse of Lambert & Lambert s. name
as reference at once unlocked the heart and
tongue of Tom ]. Council, who deserves
to be immortalized in a dimemovel or ia
