I Tonnk Mnn Comes West, Changes His Name and Secnres Divorce Tears Later, "When Wealthy, His First Wife Appears. The Supreme Court of "Washington decides the noted Peyton divorce case In faor of Colonel Isaac M. Peyton, and against Mrs. Peyton No. 1. This" Is a case In which a jounc married man came West, changed his name, and se cured a divorce In "Washington by a most remarkable proceeding. He then married again, and amassed a fortune. Thirteen years elapse, and then Mrs. Peyton No. 1 appears on the scene, and Institutes suit for a community inter est In Colonel Peyton's property and to have the decree of divorce set aside. The Superior Court of Spokane County first decided against her, and now the Supreme Court upholds it. OLY1IPIA, Wash., April 11. The Su preme Court today decided the Peyton divorce case the most noted in the annals of the courts of Washington in favor of Colonel Isaac N. Peyton The Superior Court of Spokane County is thus upheld. The decision of the higher court, in ef fect, denies he Tight of Helen M. Pey ton to a community of Interest In the large fortune of Colonel Peyton; sustains a decree of divorce legally separating the two obtained by Colonel Peyton in Klick itat, in 1E85, by one of the most remark able proceedings In the history of North west courts, and sustains the validity of the marriage of Isaac N. Peyton and Mrs. "Victor A. Houghton, contracted at Spo kane, September 4, 1SS5, shortly after a divorce was granted from the appellant In this case. The decision of the Supreme Court is written by Judge Hadley, and contains 7000 words. The court refers to the ciso as appearing "as If culled from a story of fiction." A brief recital of the facts shows that the appellant and respondent were married in Illinois, in 1SG9. In 1878 they were residing in Colorado, when it was decided that Mrs. Peyton should go to Colorado while he should look for a new location. After two or three letters passed between them, Mrs. Peyton lost all trace of her husband until 1SSS. Mean time, Peyton settled at Spokane, adopted the name of G. H. Morgan, and engaged In business. In 1ES5, under the name of Morgan, he instituted an action for di vorce in Klickitat County, under the name of Isaic N. Peyton. Senator Tur ner was then presiding United States Judge, and was acquainted with "Mor gan," but did not know him as Peyton, who at no time appeared before Judge Turner while the action was pending. On motion of Peyton's attorney, the testi mony was taken by a referee in the per son of Carroll B. Graves, who was also unacquainted with "Morgan." But very few persons knew Peyton and Morgan were one and the same. A decree of di vorce was finally entered by default on Mrs. Peyton's part, in October, 18S5, and in the November following, Morgin and Mrs. Houghton were married, Mrs. Houghton believing the groom to be an unmarried man and knowing nothing of the divorce proceedings. Several months later, the first Mrs. Peyton appeared at Spokane, and learned of the affair. She brought suit to have the divorce set aside on ithe ground that it was obtained by fraud. Upon the return to Spokane of the respondent, he -was arrested for bigamy. The suit to set aside the divorce was af terward dismissed upon stipulation that Peyton was to pay his first wife $CO00. A subsequent suit by her for a community of interest In the property was also dis missed, the respondent paying another $C00Q. A criminal action pending was then dismissed, the second Mrs. Peyton being advised that her marriage was legal. Thirteen years later, the present action was brought. Meantime, Peyton had be come very wealthy, being worth about 5500,000. Mrs. Peyton, No. 1. in her com plaint, asked- thit the decree entered in Klickitat County be declared void, and that she be granted a separate main tenance. She averred she did not author ize her attorneys to enter into a stipula tion by which former suits were dis missed, and did not know of their exist ence until six months before the present action was commenced, and that respond ent had promled to come and live with her as her husband. The lower court found the adjudication of Judge Turner upon the stipulations was final and bind ing, and that the plaintiff is barred for relief upon the ground of .laches and by the statute of limitations. The action was dismissed by Jhe Superior Court of Spokane County, and the Supreme Court affirms the Judgment. f GUARD LODGES ADJOUItXED. A. O. XT, W. and Degrree of: Honor Will Meet Next at Olympla.
