to Re-Marry His Divorced
Wife or He Would be Killed

effort to run down members of a
masked mob who lured w. E. Tum-

and beat him until blood streamed
from a score of lacerations.
Tumlin was enticed from his office
by a youth who pretended the lawyer
was wanted by a patient in Red

will. When he reached a lonely spot
Tumlin reports he was seized by
masked men who bound and gagged
him. The lawyer said that he was told
he must promise to remarry his
divorced wife or death would be in
flicted. Records show that in Oct.
1921 decree of absolute divorce
was granted Tumlin on grounds of
cruelty and voluntary abandonment.
