charging libel, SANDER and character
damage is planned.
Just as soon as possible said
Jocelyn recently, Il will go to Denver
where 1 will Immediately file suit fol
$4,000 damages against Mrs. Anna
NJ De Remer, mother of my wife,
charging her with the alienation of
the affections OF Mrs. Jocelyn. In an
other and separate action l will
charge Mrs. De Hemer with utterins
and procuring the publication of Ii
beious, slanderous and character dam
aging statements which have placed
me in an unenviable light before M
friends and the general public.
Ever since our marriage in Den
yer in 1910. there has been more OF
less interference in our affairs on
tbs part of Mrs. De Rerner. She has
endeavored on many occasions to
bring about a separation between her
daughter and me. Not until l was Ill
in q hospital in this city, die
she succeed. Visiting her mother
while l was i'll here, Mrs. Joceiyns
mind was so turned against me that
STE returned to Phoenix ana at once
filed an action for divorce charging
me with cruelty. That evening Mrs
Joselyn at the hospital erphatically
vorce, that she had been nagged by
her mother into bringing the action
that she then realized just what it al.
meant and that she would Withdraw
the application for divorce. And that's
just what she did.
"A week or SO after Mrs Jocelyp
reached Phoenix and he'd instituted
! divorce proceedings. which were al
most Immediately Withdrawn, she re-
! turned to Denver, declaring there was
( no reason why We could not be
happy. / received a letter rom
/ her. written on the train, and
mailed before she was out OF
| Arizona. 1t was trinful OF encourage
| ment ana promises of speedy return
! There was no doubt in my mind thei.
that complete reconciliation had beer
effected.
Not long after she reached Den
yer and had gone to ner mother, the
| tone of her letters began TO change
II was very evident that influence
had been brought to bear to chang.
her attitude toward me. AS she was
thoroughly reconciied when she left
here the subsequent change after he1
arrival in Denver can only be in
| terpreted by me to mean that heI
mother succeeded in again turning
her against me.
con January Is. four days afte,
! Mrs. Jocelyn had filed her suit here
| for divorce and had withdrawn thai
action, Mrs. De Remer gave to thu
Rocky Mountain News of Denver. g
sensational interview in which sh.
! charged me with treating her daugh.
ter cruelty, with failure to provide
and having a sullen disposition. Sh,
admitted in that interview that she
meyer liked Mr.. Jocelyn and hated tt
see my daughter marry him
There is no doubt that the publ
cation of that interview was embaI
assirg to Mrs. Jocelyn and that
coupled with the urging of her moth.
er, induced her to give out a state
| ment ten DAYS later, denying there
had been. a reconciliation. From ther
| on my wifes attitude toward me, al
indicated in her letters, became com,
pleteiy changed 1t seems a clear case
Of Mrs Jocelyil taking this stand il
nm effort to save her mothers posi-
ton In the matter
L can easily refute any of the SEN
sational charges made by Mrs. d.
Rerner in her published statements
1t is my opinion that Mrs De Remel
revels in such publicity. | have no in
terest in the affairs of my mother in
law and if she had earlier adopted
like attitude toward me, my wife anC
| would now be living happily together
