him as his wife.
And II little Mary Pickford
should come into the world.
what would the child's name
be?
There is, OF course, another very serious
side to this whole thing. If Attorney Gen.
eral Fowler knows what he is talking
about and really has the evidence to prove
what he claims-then Mary Pickford has
been guilty of wilful perjury. The penalty
for perjury Is a severe one. II the Attor-
ney-General should 90 into the courts and
ask an indictment for Mary Pickford for
perjury and conspiracy, would the Cali
fornia courts deliver up "Our Mary" to the
Nevada authorities, to be locked up in a
Nevada Jail?
And now read the sworn complaint of
Attorney-G General Fowler setting forth In
old-fashioned tiresome legal verbiage the
charges against Mary Pickford and Owen
Moore on which he bases his demand that
the divorce be cancelled-a 7,OO0:word
complaint of which the following is the
essential part:
