EsteIIe Rowan Declares Statement
That She Sought Alliance with
Joseph Helm Is
Untrue

That Joseph A. S. Helm, son of the
millionaire brewer of Kansas City, was
not compelled to marry Estelle Rowan
against mis- will or while undergoing a
period OF recklessness due to partaking
of a Spanish dinner, is the statement OF
the young woman, who will make an
effort, through her attorney, II. II.
Appel to have reopened the case in
which Helms marriage was annulled
by Judge James last week. Miss Rowan
saws she hopes to prove some of the
statements made by her youthful and
dissatisfied spouse were false.
"There was no Spanish dinner; there
was no wine, and l don't smoke cigar
cites" said Miss Rowan yesterday.
Helm procured the license himself IN
Ventura and / waited for him at the
home of my mother, Mrs. A. G. Billing
ton. When he returned we went to the
office OF Justice ortega and were mar
ried."
To support her statements that she
was not the one insistent that the cere-
mony should take place, Miss Rowan
saws she has a number of letters,
couched in the most endearing terms,
written by Helm after he returned to
Kansas City from his Los Angeles trip
a. year ago. HE calls me his dear
Miss Rowan, land told me he left
school to make me his own"
Helm, she said, also threatened to re-
turn to an actress in Kansas City for
whom he had formed an affection IL

wedding. :,
