chiefly she wanted to know how that mis-
take of hers effected the 100000 Mr.
Marks decided that she had forfeited it,
but, for the sake of peace, if she would
go away and not bother him for the re-
naming six months of the specified time
he would compromise by letting her have
half of it.
That. too, looked like easy money, and
Mr.. Marks began to hope that she was
actually going to win it. His reason for
such optimism was that she had married
her secretary, Harry Domblasser, a much
younger person and sort of soldier of
fortune whose motives and intentions
Marks did not quite understand. How
ever, he wished Dornblasser luck, for he
was now the logical person to receive the
strenuous attentions of the former Mrs.
Marks. Mr.. Marks was somewhat per-
turbed by reputed statement of the new
groom to the effect that he considered that
all four husbands were marks. The
trouble with DOmblasSer was that this sol
der of fortune acted on the principle that:
"He who fights and runs away lives to
fight another day
DornblaSser suddenly came back alone
from Europe, where he and his bride were
having their honeymoon. That was all
right, but when she followed he simply
disappeared, which left her with four hus-
bands, but none of them available. Mean
while Mr.. Marks, deceived by the general
peace and quiet in the world, took
chance and married again. Once more
there was an ominous silence broken by a
volcanic eruption in the courts and news
papers.
Just as the final six months probation
period was expiring Federal Grand Jury
indicted Mrs Lydia Locke Harold Marks
Dornblasser for sending through the MALL
letter that Attorney Francis Wellman
described as $50 obscene as to prohibit
the publication of a single line"
This poison pen" letter was sent to
Mr.. Marks and informed him that his new
bride had done all sorts of unmentionable
things in various low dives of Paris. 1t is
charged that Mrs. Dornblasscr wrote the
letter and that the Federal agents have
confession from Frances Adams, Mrs.
DornblaSSer's sister, that she mailed the
letter at Belle Fontaine, Ohio.
Mr. Marks considers that this forfeits
the other $4,000. But that is not all.
His present wife, Mrs. Margaret Hoover
Marks, is good and mad, and has started
a suit for $250,000 against Mrs. Dorm
blasSer for defamation of character.
Mrs. DornblaSSer, heavily yelled and
surrounded by bodyguard of detectives
larger than the squad that protects the
President of the United States, pleaded
mot guilty. to the "poison pen" indict-
ment and went away under 1000 bonds.
Her attorney, Mr.. Max d. Steuer,
states that it is all a conspiracy and that
his client knows nothing of the letter.
1t looks as if Mrs DornbasSer would
for while find ample outlet for her
marvellous energies in defending the two
criminal and civil suits against her. If
she should lose the civil one alone it might
take away the major portion of the profits
of her last two matrimonial adventures.
Incidentally the busy and versatile Mrs.
Talbot Harold Marks-Dornbesser fitted
through the news few months ago, when
through no fault of hers, the very pretty
Baroness Eur Muehlen, formerly MISS
Helen Carruthers of New York, either fell
out or jumped out of her hotel room in the
Hotel Ritz-Carlton, New York, last July,
and her lfclcsS body was picked up on the
roof of the Italian Garden, 20 feet below,
She was about to sail back to Europe next
morning and had spent the evening in a
farewell party of friends, among whom
was the entertaining Mrs. Talbot Harold
Marks ornblesser.
Is there any reader of this page who
would like to be Lydia's fifth husband if
she wants to marry again?
