old SOLDIER SUED
BY YOUNG HUSBAND
Civil War Veteran. Who Is a ParaIytic,
Charged with Alternating Young
Wife's Affections.

Los Angeles, Cal, June 25.-Bushels of
love letters will form the basis of the
prosecution and defense in the aliena ton
of affection suit brought here by Clarence
Holt. a young rancher of Lang, against
J. H. Cole. aged 66 years, a civil war
veteran and a paralytiC. The 20-year-
old wife of Holt. related by marriaae to
several prominent Los AnGt, Tamilics.
is alleged to have received many thou
sands of dollars in jewelry, ciolhIlg and
money from the old man.
Attorney Emil Raymond. representins 2
Holt, said yesterday that he does not ex-
pect the case to come to trial for the
alleged reason that the defendant, know
ing the nature of the letters written by
him to Mrs. Holt. will undoubtedly seek
out the husband and settle the case out
of court" Cole says that the case will
never be tried, because as soon as the
prosecution learns I have nothing but a
homestead it will drop the case"
Holt and Marjorie Shoemaker were
married in October of last year, accord
ing to the complaint They lived together
as man and wife for some time, or until
the husband learned that his wife was
corresponding with Cole. About that
time the husband and Cole had a con.
ference and also indulged in much letter
writing, according to Cole. The latter de-
clared he did not know of the marriage
of Holt to Marjorie" as he still refers
to her. and that as soon as he heard
of the marriage he sent his daughter to
get absolute proof of the wedding. He
then wrote his last letter to the bride
demanding. he says, that they cease cor
responding. Afterward, he says. he re.
Ceived many letters from Mrs. Holt
How could a man ALLEVIATE a thing that
never eMsted?" the old soldier asks.

seek the left hand of the young woman,
and she would sit up with a little start,
and then blush.
From his pulpit the Rev. Van Schaick
marked all this out of the corner of one
eye. His discourse never faltered once,
but into his eyes there came a distinctly
unmnisterial twinkle.
The Rev Van Schaick understood
perfectly. 1t would have been strange If

A storm of protest followed this an

the privilege of an old friend. denounced
in scathing sarcasm Helens lack of in

"Yes, I know" helplessly, "but

From the subway kiosk she waved
them laughing goodbye. Almost light

waiting express.
1t was not quite twelve when she
reached their apartment. Noiselessly
she closed the door and tiptoed
through the hall Warren should
sleep as long as he wanted-but
when he woke he would find her
there.
Passing the dining room, she
stopped in startled amazement. Dora
was clearing the breakfast table.
"Yes, ma'am, Mr. Curtis had his
breakfast, but he didn't eat nothin'-
just a cup of coffee and bit of
toast"
The next second Helen had darted
into the library where Warren. in his
shirt sleeves, his hands in his pockets,
stood staring moodily out the window
1t was only in that first glinting sec
ond that she saw his face light up.
Then he shook the ashes from his
cigar with a careless. Hello, kitten,

received word from Bishop futile at

KING GEORGE WOUNDED,
English Rulers Automobile Struck
bv German Bomb,

New York, Jan. l. (Saturday).-
The Tribune today published the FOL-
lowing:
German fiers who had been sent
of the proposed visit Of King George
to kill King George, following tile re-
cent review of troops on the French
front, are credited with causing the
injuries to the English ruler that
were officially explained at the time
as caused by fall from his horse.
This startling explanation of the
episode in which King George figured
was offered today by an Englishman
who recently arrived in New York,
but for obvious reasons, insisted that
his name be withheld. The secret is
being carefully guarded in England,
he said, and no newspaper cores
pondent could succeed in getting it
beyond the censors.
Ii is said that German spies within
the lines in allied forces in France
learned of the scheduled maneuvers
and even of the route he would travel
on his return to the coast. Enemy
fliers were Immediately dispatched
to the road over which the king was
to travel.
In the course of series of attacks
upon every automobile that passed
thew succeeded in striking the kings
machine, killing the chauffeur and
injuring his majesty.
A fragment Of the exploding bomb
struck King George, according to this
story, but the exact nature of his in
juries or their extent have not be-
come known except to those in clos
est touch with the royal family.
