violent was Robard's passion that he
again sent his fair wife back to her
mother, and, two years later, in 1891,
the Legislature Of Virginia passed a
bill authorizing the Supreme Court of
kentucky to try before Il jury the
suit for divorce which Robards had
brought.
After illing his petition Robards
took no further action for two years,
but IN the meantime Jackson and
Mrs. Robards had been married, cvi-
IDENTIFY believing the decree of divorce
had been granted. When Richards
did really secure his divorce on Sep
tcmber 27, 1893, Jackson and his
wife were publicly married again.
Never was there the slightest sus-
picion Of conjugal faithlcssness
against either jackson or his wife,
save the ambiguous conditions under
wb'oh they were married Yet thn
public never forgot or ceased TO Cos
sip. and it is said that the orcrhcar-

Ing told really caused Mrs. .Jackson's

Jacksons friends declared that
Dickinson, grown jealous OF .Jackson's
increasing popularity, had determn-
ed to drive him from Tennessee, and
seized upon the marital cloud as a
means to that end in any event, it is
charged that he circulated the cur
rent stories and bad blood was cngcn-
dercd, but not to the point Of an open
challenge. Yet only an opportunity
was necessary, and this was given in
a quarrel arising over bet made on
