Mrs. Jayne contended still today
that her husband was drugged and
induced by possible threats and
blows to- accompany some design
ing person or persons to southern
| cities. -. ,...t

Oakland, Calf, Nov. 6.--Dr. J.

courted his own wife by mail. 1t
was q successful c0urtship. He
didn't know the identity Of his
correspondent until 1t was all over.
Today he Is defendant in a divorce
action brought by Mrs. Morse. And
the chief evidence against MIN are
his own love letters.
Some months ago DR.. Morse in
serted an advertisement In the
matrimonial column of a news
paper. 1t was q good selling lad"
reading:
Wanted, companion for week
end trips. No grafters or cafe
fiends need apply. Object matri-
mony. Answer Box ="
Mrs. Morse. both young and
pretty, saw the ad. 1t attracted her.
Possibly that strange psychic
phenomena, sometimes labeled
feminine intuition, gave her a clue
to the identity of the seeker. Any
way, she answered the appeal util-
izing the name Of "Grace Vance,"
.Mr. Harris" Writes.
A few days later she received a
reply signed wv. S. Harris" Then
there followed an exchange of notes.
l Those Of Mr.. Harris began to as
sumo the. proportions of fervid bill

Grace Vance, carefully tucked them
away in secret hiding places aud
waited.
i Then Mr.. Harris appealed to meet
her. The letters had shown him
"a personality" and their author
must be charming. That was what
Mrs. Morse was waiting for. Up 10
this time the handwriting was ia
, miliar but concrete proof was lack
/, ing. So she replied naming ce--
tain spct in downtown hotel as i
trysting place. Mr. Harris, she "
structed, was to wear a red necktie
: and a red carnation in his button
hold so that she would know him

Then Mrs. Morse wrote another

wrote:

said, Il don't know whether l an

Washington, D. c., Nov. 6.-The

Cnbossed-there never was a
