The many friends of Miss Lishman

antly surprised last week to learn that
they had been quietly married at the
home of the brides sister in Boise on
Thursday evening. The happy couple
left Immediately on a wedding trip to
the coast.
The charming young bride has been
here but short time, coming to take
a position in the telephone exchange,
but her winning personality has won
for her an Incredible number of admir-
ers. The groom, however, is a native
Blackfoot boy and it is not saying too
much to say that his friends are
numbered by his acquaintance. He
is shortly to go into business in this
city and will be- warmly welcomed In
business as we'll as in social circles.
He is the son of c. w. Bergman,

zens and is the fourth one of the
six children to marry and settle in
the Grove City. The Optimist joins
their many friends in wishing the

Deceased Society Man Devised Estate Prior to
Secret Marriage With F1orodora Girl

Especial Dispatch to The CalD
WASHINGTON, Dec. 2s-Mrs Marie
e. Gamble Wilson Gebhard, former
member of the 'Florodora" sextet and
secret bride of Freddy Gebhard, the
New York society man. admitted in
this city today that she had started ac-
tion in New York state to break the
will of her late husband.
Mrs. Gebhard says that Gebhards
will, which ignored her. was the result
of "a conspiracy. and that while she
prefers to remain in private life and
avoid trouble, she feels compelled to
enter the action to get her Just dues.
The will was made prior to Gebhard's s
marriage to the former "Florodora"
girl, and it is alleged was written un-
der undue influences. While admitting
that she intended to contest the will,
Mrs. Gebhard insisted that the fact that
struuent did not mean that Gebhard
had ceased to love her.
In reference to various stories which
have been printed Mrs. Gebhard said:
Was Mr.. Gebhard the only man
in the world who had some wild
acquaintances? Why is 1T neces-
sary for newspapers to reflect
whenever his name is mentioned in
connection with some matter not
even indirectly related to his life?
Practically all other men are no
better than he was, and it seems to
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1912-12-27

me most unfair, not only to the liv-
ing, but to the dead.
This will was drawn up prior to
my marriage to Mr.. Gebhard and
before we were acquainted. Mr..
Gebhard intended to revise it, but
didn't get at it, and so this insist
ent harping. without explanation.
on the fact that my name was not
mentioned in the will distinctly is
unfair to me. How could my name
be mentioned in the will in view
of these circumstances?
This was all Mrs. Gebhard cared t.
say relative to the suit she has insti.
tuted. except that this suit is not /:
matter which should concern the pub
lie, nor do believe the public is In
terested in it."
Mrs. Gebhard continued:
always sought to give news
papers truthful and accurate
statement when they came TO me
and insisted on my speaking, but
invariably they have added an at
tack on Mr.. Gebhard to what they
made me say. quoting me some
times correctly and sometimes not. $.
For myself. I have wished to
live quiet. obscure life. / am not
on the stage and Mr. Gerhard is
dead. 1t seems as If we might be
left alone. But certainly one who
is gone ought to be treated with
some consideration
