by a youth who pretended that the
lawyer was wanted by a patient in a
Red Mountain sanitarium to draw up
a will. When he had reached a lonely
spot in the hills, Tumiin reported to
Solicitor Tate, he was seized by
masked men who bound and gagged
him. The lawyer reported to Solici-
tor Tate that he was told he must
promise to remarry his divorced wife.

f1icted. He refused to make such
a promise, according to his report to
the prosecuting attorney, and the
mob set upon him with 1aths. After
the beating, the members of the party
departed, leaving him too weak to
walk for some time. He finally found
his way back to a telephone, where
he summoned aid. AS soon as he
was able Wednesday, he reported the
matter to the authorities.
Records in the chancery division of
the circuit court show that on Oc-
tober 10, 1921. a decree of absolute
divorce was granted Tunlin ON the
