Yesterday's Portland Oregonian contained the sub-joined despatch from Seattle which involves the name of a man well known in this city, where he frequently comes in the in terests of the safe concern he is sup posed to own and control. He was here not longer than 10 days ago and registered at the Hotel Occident; and is generally known hereabouts as Frank PurcelL The news will interest many people in Astoria to -whom Mr. Purcell is no stranger. The despatch reads as follows; "Local society was thrown into' a furor today by the news that Frank Purcell was vesterdav sued for di vorce by Mary A. Moss.Vho alleges that she was married to Purcell under the name of Pierce J. Moss. Purcell, as he is known here, is president and reputed owner of the Purcell Safe .Company ,of this city. A few weeks ago he caused surprise by being seen in San Francisco with the widow of the late A. T. Vandevater, racetrack owner and former State Senator. "The couple registered at the St Francis Hotel as Mr. and Mrs. Pur cell, but the marriage has since been denied by Purcell and by friends of the woman. Mrs. Moss says that she was mar ried to a man who called himself Pierce J. Moss, in Boston, October 29, .1895. The woman states that two years after the wedding her husband confessed that he had deceived her as to his name and that he was really Patrick Frank PurcelL.., "The plaintiff alleges further that Purcell was divorced in Seattle from Mary P. PurcelL to whom he was married in Clonmel, Ireland, in 1885, and whom he abandoned in 1899. Mrs. Purcell declares that the defend ant owns a one-half interest with George B. Ceila in the Portland Safe Company and in the Pacific Safe Company, of Spokane, and all of the Purcell Safe Company, of this city. She says she and Purcell lived to gether five years in Chicago at the Lexington Hotel, during which time Purcell conducted the Kentucky Sales Stables. After that Purcell, the com plainant sets forth, engaged in the liquor business in St. Louis and from there moved to Portland in 1904.'
