WILLIAM E. D. STOKES
LOSES FIGHT FOR DIVORCE

New York.-Mrs. Helen Ellwood
Stokes won her fight to defend her
character against charges of infdelity
brought against her by William Earl
Dodge Stokes, her seventy-three-year-
old husband.
The jury refused to grant Stokes a
divorce which he had asked on allega-
tons his wife had been intimate with
Edgar L. Wallace, California oil pro-
mOter.
The jury was out an hour and seven
minutes. Only one ballot was taken
and that unanimously in favor of the
pretty defendant.
Mrs. Stokes, her face tense, listened
to the verdict and then gulped visibly.
Her face broke into smiles as she
shook hands with her counsel, Samuel
Untermyer. The pair then walked to
the jury box and thanked the jurors.
Stokes, sitting alone at the table,
appeared much affected by the jury's
announcement. Tears were in his
eyes. He was asked if he had any
thing to say.
