to Prevent Widow From
Sharing in 100000 Estate
Strange Marriage and
Mysterious Death Make
Coming Action to Annul
Union of Sensational In
terest.

On the ground that DR.. Stewart
Bates, a wealthy and prominent physi-
clan and druggist of Virginia, Mimi,
was drunk at the time of his mar
riage TO Miss Marie jacobson, of st.
Paul, on April II, of this year, his rel
atives are taking steps to have the
marriage declared invalid in order that
the wife might not share in his estates
which is valued at 100000.
The suit for the annulment Of the
marriage promises to be one of the
most sensational ever tried in the Min
nesota courts, and its outcome will de-
ternine whether or not his wife, who
was a nurse in a hospital conducted by
him. is to receive her one-third Of the
estate.
DR.. Bates was one Of the wealthiest
physicians in the Iron Range country.
He not only practiced medicine, but
conducted drug store and a hospital
Miss Jacobson was a nurse employed
by the doctor in his hospital, and until
his marriage TO her some weeks ago
DR.. Bates was a widower with one
child.
April II the couple came to st. Paul
and were married, the license being
secured upon an oath that the woman
was a resident Of Ramsey county. The
couple returned at once to Virginia
and two weeks from their wedding day
DR.. Bates died from what was said to
be accidental poisoning. He left no
will and the wife put in a claim for the
Widows share Of one-third Of the es
tate.
Until after his death the relatives of
DR.. Bates were not aware that he had
married again, and an inves tigaIion Of
the claims Of his new wife was COM
menced.
Seek Evidence in ST. Paul.
Yesterday Robert J. Bates, a brother
of the deceased, came to St. Paul to
secure evidence to show that his
brother had been married while grossly
intoxicated, and on these grounds an
attempt will be made to have the mar
riage declared Illegal and cut the wife
off from sharing in the estate.
Robert J. Bates, the brother, is a
prominent physician of Sault Ste.
Marie, Mich, and he is also colonel Of
the Third infantry, Michigan national
guard. He belongs to the st. Paul
temple Of Mystic Shriners and is well
known in this city, where he has many
influential friends
While here yesterday Col. Bates Wis
tied the Office of the clerk of courts and
secured from George Gerlich, a deputy
in the Office, an affidavit to the effect
that DR.. Stewart Bates was intoxicated
when he secured a license. He is also
said to have secured the affidavits of at
least two other people, who swore that
