NEW YORK, June 12.-Three
women played important parts in
the life of Millionaire w. E. D..
Stokes, mysteriously shot in the
apartments of Miss Lillian Gra-
ham, an actress.
Two of these beautiful women
were led to the altar by the mil
lionaire, while the third claimed
to be the mother Of his child.
Stokes is cousin of e. S. Stokes,
who shot Jim Fisk because of an
actress years ago. He was first
married. to Rita de Acosta, who d.
vorced him in 1910, and who later
became Mrs. Philip Lydig.
In 1905 Miss Lucette Ryley,
then going by the name of "Mrs.
Lucy Randolph" sued Stokes to
compel him to support a child
which she claimed was his. The
case was dismissed upon a legal
technicality.
On Feb. II of this year Stokes
married Miss Helen Ellwood, one
of the most beautiful young
women of Denver. She was "a,
the bridegroom over 60. They
lived at the fashionable Ansonia
hotel, which Stokes owned.

Sault Ste. Marie, Candad, Is
close to 5000 miles from Tacoma.
But human hearts and human
sympathies can cover that dis
tance in a seconds time.
This is demonstrated by the
remarkable wave Of public protest
from warm-hearted Tacoma people
in the case of Angelina Napolitano
the Italian woman who killed her
husband in the far-off Canada city
to save her own soul.
On August 9 the Canadian Off
cials will take this woman out and
hang her till she is dead.
The Canadian government
thought it was merciful when 1t
decreed that the woman might live
till her child was born. 1t had no
right to take two lives, was the
reasoning.
But this woman shall not
be taken from her newborn baby's
side to go to the gallows If Tacoma
people can help 1t.
The Times printed the story
about her Friday, asking its read
