divorce suit instituted by her hus-
band, w. z. D. Stokes, millionaire

Jury today to tell her story.
Mrs. Stokes has charged that her
husbands agents have sought to OBJ
tain evidence that she once was an
inmate of a notorious resort In Chi
rago's vice district n dozen years
ago at n time when she and her
friends say she was little more than
a girl in Denver. She nj her coun-
sci have charged that perjured affi-
davits and trick photographs were
manufactured in tho alleged con-
spiracy to show her a woman with
out virtue.
She was allowed by the states at
torney to go before the grand Jury
today because the second hearing of
the divorce suit which h is Tgor-
ously contesting. is set to be heard
in New York next Monday. The
states attorney made 1t clear that
her appearance before the grand
Jury did not mean a ruse to obtain
an early indictment, should the evil
dence warrant. but to permit her to
tell her story before proceeding to
New York to be present at the
divorce hearing. Next week it was
