Says Woman Who 10 Suing Him for
Divorce First Tried to Get Money

Of Promise. 4.Ig !,rls.

New York, Oct. 5.-United States
Senator Plat made formal denial Fri
day that he ever married Mae c.
Wood, who Is suing him for divorce
alleging that she was married to the
senator November 9. 1901. The sena.
tor made this denial in an application
In court by his attorneys asking for
authority to examine certain papers in
the case. The senator, in his petition,
asserted that she had never made q
claim to him Of such marriage until
December "a, 1906, but on the con.
trary, had tried to extort money from
him. More than three years after the
date on which she asserts she was
married to him, the senator averred,
she was threatening to sue him for
breach of promise and retained the
law firm Of O'Flaherty and Fulton OF
Richmond, Va. to act for her.
Alleges Extortlon Scheme.
The senator submitted copy Of a
letter from that Arm written to him
in January, 1865. In which they an.
nounced that Miss Mae c. Wood had
employed them to prosecute her claim
for damages for breach Of promise
and for an alleged conspiracy culmi.
mating in New York In 1908 by which
she asserted she was fraudufently
compelled by agents Of the senator
TO surrender certain letters written
to her by him. rpa
Senator Plat said that he ignored
this letter but that his attorney sub
sequently received other letters from
O'Flaherty and Fulton threatening to
take the case into court unless II was
settled. When he declined to enter
into negotiations with them the SEN
ator said, they discontinued their
attempts at extortion until Just prior
to the beginning OF this action"
Suits to Gain NotorIety.
In the fall OF 1906, the senator as.
serted. Mae c. Wood brought two
suits against him In Omaha in which
the allegations were absolutely incon-
sistent with her present claim of mar
riage. These suits, he said. were
brought to gain notoriety and to ex.
tort money from him. Both suits were
dismissed without prosecution.
The senator alluded to publications
of what purported to be marriage
certificate which, he said, had been
mutilared by cutting away the part
that should have contained the name
Of the man who ofhciated.
Calls Letter a Forgery.
On the evening Of December "a.
1906, he said, he received a letter
from Miss Wood in which she stated
that she had received letter from
him acknowledging her as his wife.
This, he said. was untrue and no such
acknowledgement had ever been made.
II such a communication exists, the
senator said, 1t is a forgery, manu-
factured by the plaintiff to extort
money from him.
