ian oil man.
AS a result the wife sued her
stepson, w. L. d. Stokes, Jr., for
81, 900, 900, charging that he tried
to defame her character, and had
Stokes and several witnesses in
dieted in Chicago on the same al
legation.
The civil suit was dropped,
while a jury acquitted Stokes of
the criminal charge. The second
divorce case, however, continued
for nearly three more years and
again ended in the defeat of
Stokes.
Mrs. Stokes meanwhile had
started separation proceedings,
which resulted in an agreement
by which Stokes was to have ac-
cess at all times to their children
who were to remain in the custody
of their mother. The settlement
was understood to have called for
a 100000 trust fund.
Soon after Stokes was sued by
his counsel. Attorney Max Steuer
entered a suit Of $4,000 against
him, charging that payment had
been refused on three of Stokes
checks. The law firm of NBgent
&Nugent sued him for SCI, 600
fees, and later asked $1,000, 1000,
alleging Stokes had slandered
them by charging that they had
stolen some of his papers during
the divorce trial. Daniel B. Ellis,
Denver, Col, lawyer, was award
ed a verdict of $4,000 with costs
and interests totaling more than
$4,000 in u suit against Stokes for
fees.
In the meantime, Stokes had
filed bill against the Ottoman
American Development Company
for $3.50 in financial matter,
and the defendant replied by de-
handing S1,500,000 for $4,000
shares of stock and additional
damages, making the total So, 120,-
600.
The hotel man came in for some
notoriety in 1911, shortly after
his second marriage, when he went
to the apartment of Ethel Conrad
and Lillian Graham, chorus girls,
to get some letters, and was shot
three times in the leg. The girls
pleaded self-defense and we're
acquitted. Miss Graham saed
Stokes for 1000, alleging ma
licious prosecution, but later the
case dropped from ght.
Stokes only plunge into author
ship also landed him in court. The
book was entitled, 1.-The Right to
be Well Born" and his publishers
sued him for $4,000 for work on
it. He was also sued in 1907 for
$4,000 by a Kentucky woman for
maintenance of her son, but the
suit was dropped.
One of the hotel mans pursuits
was the breeding of thoroughbred
horses. He owned The Patehcn
Wilkes stock farm in Kentucky,
and operated it until 1924, when
he turned it over to "Weddie'
Stokes. Mr.. Stokes belonged TO
several clubs, and made his home
