Mrs. Pearl Legacie of Edmore
Discusses Her Action for
Divorce.

To the Editor of The Times: On
the 26th of the month you published
in your paper an article referring to
my divorce action, which information
you evidently obtained from Attorney
Calder. To say the least, am sur
prised that Mr.. Calder should rush
into print with such an article as
that, after acting at the trial in the
way that he did. He nor Mr.. Nor
rissey gained nothing by that trial,
but it was more of discredit to them
than anything else, the way my SUIT
turned out.
1t is true that a decision has been
rendered against me, from which,
am Informed that have a years time
to appeal from, and it is my intention
to appeal from same just as soon as
possible to the supreme court where
l hope to have my suit granted, and
am quite confident that same will be
granted when brought before them for
a review and new trial. My hope is
founded upon three instances wherein
l am corroborated by other witnesses
as against the defendants sole testi-
mony. That court will have to de-
termine, am informed, besides some
questions of law, whether three or
four witnesses told the truth ana
whether one for the defense lied ur
not.
have no remembrance of the court
ever saying that he was going to fine
Mr.. Wehe, and l was present all the
time. The court did frequently inter-
rupt Mr.. Wehe and cautioned him sew
eral times but that is as far as the
matter went. MIR. Calder must have
had bad dream when he was stuck
out in the snow drift at Bartlett and
evidently has not recovered from the
effects of it yet.
Twice the court interrupted Mr..
Wehe while he was examining wit
nesses, and twice he proved to the
courts satisfaction that he was right.
The first time Mr.. Wehe was exam
lining witness as to what happened
on the 5th of July, 1906. The court
cautioned him to stop but he persisted
along the same line until the court
took him to task and said that there
was no allegation in the complaint rs
to anything occurring on that date,
and to stop the examination along that
line. At this juncture Mr.Wehe rose
and stated to the court that the COM
plant contained an allegation as to
things taking place on the 5th of July,
1906. At this point things were quiet
except shutting to get hold Of the
pleadings. The allegation was found
there and Mr.. Wehe was told to con-
tinue. The other time was when Mr..
Wehe was attempting to prove the de-
scription of the real property owned
by the defendant, and the court eau
toned him to stop as that mater was
admitted in the answer; and it was
at this juncture that he rose to his
feet and addressed the court to the
effect that it was not admitted by the
answer; the pleadings were again re-
ferred to and it was found that the
answer did not admit the allegation
of the complaint. People would get
the inference that it was crime to
stand for what is right from Mr.. CAL
der's interview.
I was deceived by the defendant at
the time married him. He said time
and time again that he was a protest
ant and if l had known that he was
not I should not have married him.
l learned that he was Catholic after
married him for the first time. This
was not disputed at the trial for the
mother testified that he was baptized
in that religion. I never felt the same
after l found this deceit out. He COW
cred it at the time by getting married
in the Congregational church. For
peace sake alone l would not marry
one who has different religious be-
liefs from mine, unless the opposite
party was willing to change his for
mine.
1t states in the article that am ii
former resident of Grand Forks. BY
this 1t seems that they are associating
my name with some other Pearl Nc
Fadden who once perhaps resided
there. l wish it understood that
never lived nor resided at any time
at Grand Forks. The court records
show that l never lived at Grand
Forks. Why then should Mr.. Calder
persist in trying to give me a bad
name by giving such an interview, un-
less it is because of the defendants
being cousin of his. l am informed
that things are said about the other
party by that name which is the rea-
son that do not want my name
associated with hers.
I thank you in advance for publish
ing this for me.
Edmore, N. D., Jan. 80, 1907.
Mrs. Pearl Legacie.
