REPLY Of MRS.
BELCHEUR FILED
Conspiracy to Levy Blackmail is Alleged-.Clainl
That Mrs. Maude Hedges Demanded ST 900
OF Her, Which Was Refused.

The answer of Mrs. Adleheid Belch.
eur in the sensational action brought
against her by Mrs. Maude Hedges
has been filed in the district court by
John Belcheur, guardian ad litem OF
the defendant, under an appointment
recently made by Judge Cheadle.
In this case, it will be remembered
Mrs. Maude Hedges sued to recover
damages in the sum of $4,000 for the
alleged alienation of the affections OF
her husband, DR.. Ralph s. Hedges
Mrs. Belcheur was the doctors patient
at the hospital here for some weeks,
and during that time 1t is alleged that
the relation sprang up which wrecked
the Hedges home.
The Answer.
The answer is every whit as sen
sational as was the complaint, and al.
leges that the suit is the result of a
conspiracy among the Hedges family
to blackmail the defndant. The guar
dian first alleges that Mrs. Belcheul
is insane and admits that Dr. Ralph s.
Hedges was engaged as her physician
and surgeon during the time mention
ed in the complaint, and that Mrs
Belcheur is a woman of culture. It is
denied that Mrs. Hedges has been dam
aged in the sum of $26, 900, or any sum
whatever. According to the best in
formation of the guardian, the value
Of Mrs. Belcheurs property is estimat.
ed at $3.50, and that she is indebted
to various persons in the amount Of 81,
62O, this being secured by mortgage

The answer then recites: "And fol
