a break between him and his

He always reasserted his I'M

had won Is shown by one item in

Sooner or later. however. the case
will come before a Jury, and there
will be brought out the exact re-

girl claims he at all times treated
her as his fiancee and introduced
her to his friends as such. This

ing many prominent society peo-
pie and clubmen as witnesses. A
summons may even be sent to
Lord Beaverbrook whose part in
the affair is said to have been

she says. And this is how she ex-
plains that statement:
Long before he ever made love
to me Mr.. Ogilvie told me Of his
intention to leave his wife as soon
as his younger daughter, who last
April became Mrs. ]. K. Y. Wal
bank, was married. He attended
the wedding and gave his daugh-
ter away. He would have left the
same night, but the annual meet
ing Of the Abitibi Pulp and Power
Company, Of which he was vice
president. was held the next day,
Saturday, and he attended 1t and
was reelected. On Monday he
left for Europe.
Mr.. ogilvie had appealed to my
sympathy for years with stories
of his wife's temper. which he
said made life unbearable for
him. He used to make me cry
with his picture Of the miserable
mistake he had made in his mar
riage. He knew was warm.

three days before he did.
Part of the understanding be-

would not return to his wife but
would take up q separate resi-
dence. When. therefore. he tele-
phoned the girl. the day after his
return. asking for an interview.
and admitted he was living with
his wife. she was angry and de-
manded a reason for his change OF
plan. which he did not give. To all
his subsequent phone calls she re-
turned the same reply. and sud
denly they ceased.
Miss Martin had no reason to
believe then that Mr.. Oglivie had
decided to break off relations with

filed an action against a mining
