Mrs. Dunphy was given an interloc-

cruelty some time Ago.. and was award.

day aunulled the marriage on the
ground that Mrs. Dunphy admitted

as the wife of Silverstone.
The decision by Judge Graham came
like a thunderbolt to Mrs. Dunphy, who
only a short time ago heard Judge Ora.
ham announc that her grounds for q
divorce were suficieLs. Then there
came a suit by Dunphy to have his
marriage annqllsd on the ground that
his wife was the spouse Of Silverstone
and could not. under the law, secure
a divorce from a man to whom she had
never been legally welded.
Thus Mrs. Dunpby-four times mar
riei and four times divorced-is Invested
of all her rights SO far AS the Dunphy
millions are concerned, and she finds
herself the wife of the man who,
according to her own statement. made
her life unbearable by harsh treatment.
The crisis in the Dunphy divorce lit.
igation occurred in September of last
year, when Dunphy sought to reopen
divorce proceedings and to have the
~interlocutory decree set aside. For 9

In the meantime, however, Dunphy'f
-elatives were assiduously digging uI
the past record OF Mrs. Dunphy and II
was discovered that she was married &c
three other men and subsequently
divorced.
The loophole, which resulted in
Dunphy's final release from Mrs.
Dunphy, was discovered among the
court records of Oregon and Washing
ton.
julius Silverstone, anxious to wed the
then charming Mrs. William G. Cofey,
could not be legally married in Cali.
fornia for it was in this State
tnat she had secured a divorce

to go to Washington. and in the Sc

Silverstone aud his wife Immediately
returned to Portland and there took NJ
their residence. The marriage wa:
solemnizsd January 20, 1898, and before

had passed. divorce proceedings had
begun in Portland against Sllverstone
by his wife. who charged cruelty. The
Circuit Court decided that Mrs. Silver
stone was entitled to a divorce and on
