Court Rules That the Tulsa Woman

to Solomon in his wisest day. His
decision was that Pahmeyer never
had been married to the defendant in
the action; that it was his belief that
letters had been forged in her name
and that she had been the victim or
some plot, d part of the intricate
workings oil which still are shrouded
in mystery.
That the judgment Of the court was

ments of the father Of this plaintiff"
he declared. Il cannot help but be-
lieve that the sister of Mr.. Pahmeyer
told the truth In the case. These wit
nesses have testified here that Mrs.
Bowman was introduced to them as
the wife Of this plaintiff and / think
they are truthful.
"On the other side of the case can
not help but believe that the testi-
mony of Rev. Edgar M. Wilcox, the
rector who performed the marriage
ceremony at Fort Smith, is truthful.
And l cannot help but believe that the
stories of the witnesses who have tes-
titled that they were at the home Of
Mrs. Bowman in Tulsa on the day
that she is alleged to have married
this plaintiff and that she was in Tul-
50.
II believe that all of these people
are truthful, and then where am 1?
Solomon might have been able to solve
this problem, but to me it will have
to be a guess"
Pahmeyer occupied the peculiar po-
sition of being married and not mar
ried. According to the ruling Of the
court he is married to some woman
who is "buxom," who needs moro

an attractive appearance, and who has

Tho 116 Members Who Failed to Pre-

WASHINGTON, May 25.-Reversing

announced today that the 116 members

Secretary Baker explained his ac-
tion by pointing out that the Dick law
requires an obligation to defend the
constitution and obey orders of the
governor of the state, but not the or
ders of the President. The Hay Cham

man to obey orders of both the gov
