DARING RIDE
OVER FALLS
WAS FORCED
rOIlTLANIi. Ore., Jan. 1 (AP)
Mrs. Itenn J. Urum. who Is be
ing sued for divorce by h r hus
band, Alfred M. Urum. testified In
circuit court here yesterday that
when AI Fausett, adventurer, made
his daring ride over the falls near
Hilverton, Ore., in 1 !28 he did so
against his will and only because
a womu n w ho was back i ng h I m
financially refused to allow him to
break his contract.
Drum, who filed a cross com
plaint, charged that his wife de
serted him in July, i'.2H und ac
companied l-'auseit to .Silver (,'reek
falls in Marlon county and that she
remained with him from July un
til September.
Mrs. Drum, however, claimed It
was merely a financial arrange
ment and that she lent Kan set I
1 1. Ono on a mortgage and that tftie
got her money bad; with a small
profit.
'He didn't want to make the
ride," Mrs. Drum testified, "but I
made him in order to get my
money brick, lie thought he would
be killed and so did everyone else."
In the ride Kuusett broke three
ribs nnd his ankle.
