triumphed over the laws delay when
the Crabbe-Mattes breach of promise
suit was settled out of court.
The victory of the little love god
was made known in the announcement

stances surrounding the tying of the
nuptial knot several months ago are
believed to have aided in ending the
sensational suit through which the
former Miss Mates sought to obtain
from Hugh Crabbe, former confidential
secretary to Levi z. Letter, $4,000 as
heart value.
Testimony was introduced in court
to show that Miss Mates and Mr..
Geist were married during one of the
intervals of the many hearings and re-
hearings of the case. A settlement
was agreed upon, and on motion of
Edward R. Lizzinger, counsel for Miss
Mates, the suit was dismissed by
