VICTIM OF

Did d friend of Mrs. John William
Allan, the first, forge Mrs, Allan
nanss TO i letter authorizing Attorney
IA. B. Lee to appear in court for her
and thereby involve Allan iii trouble
which may result in his arrest On 4
serious charge?
This. has been suggested by Allan's3
friends III Fargo and is given some.
credence. 81 a s.:
'I, believe Allan is the victim Of "a
revengeful woman, his first wife Z said
awell known business man Of this city
who was well acquainted with A Han
during the; latter's residence in this,
city. u a.
The letter mailed to- Attorney A. B.
Lee, authorizing him to act for Mrs.
Allan was sent from Calgary, Alberta,
and friends Of Allan say that he was in
. Fargo ait the time the letter was mailed.
1t IS not based on this fact, however,
that Allan s friends claim that he did not
write or cause the letter to be written.
They suggest the probability Of a deep
laid plot planned BY Mrs. Allan the
first, and executed by her friends. gss
1t appears that Allan and his first
wife lived together short time when
i they separated. Mrs. Allan knew that
her husband was, desirous of securing
/, a divorce from her but had repeatedly
refused to sanction any action along
! that line that he might take. II She had
received information that her husband
I wanted to marry a young and beautiful
Winnipeg girl and then, Allan's friends
believe, the terrible plan Of revenge
7 was suggested TO her. The forged
letter was a part oil the plan.
ii With the divorce secured mainly by
means OF the letter, the schefners knew
that it might be set aside at any time
on the claim of fraud and then Allan

Is true, then Mrs Allan, the first, has

and he is now virtually a fugitive from
justice. .,5
