Mr. Fields was In doubt, fin the compialiit of Insanity sworn to hy the sons against Meyers Is still on file and set for hearing next Friday hefore Judge Webster. The aged candidate for matrimony was examined by three alien ists yesterday afternoon, but liiey made no official report, although it is well understood that tney regard Meyers as being perfectly sane. Webstar Gives Assent. Malarkey offered to submit the ques tion of Issuing a license to any Judge, who could he found, and Mr. Fields promptly suggested Judge Webster, hc for" whom the Insanity proceedings were begun. Judge Webster, after sur veying the, law, Informed the county clerk that he could find nothing that would authorize a refusal to issue the license. So Malarkey hurried back and made the necessary affidavit, making oath that Meyers is 70 years of age; that Mrs. Pu Rette is 41. and that he knew of no lawful Impediments to their mnrrlage Mr. Fields himself issued the license, attached the seal, and all was. ready for the ceremony. As quickly as possible the principals in the romance were assembled in Judge Morrow's chambers. Mrs. Ihi Rette ap peared gowned In white, smiling, nn 1 without betraying any nervousness over Ihe situation for there wres yet time for the sons 'to learn of the Impending marriage and take steps to stop it. Mrs. Thi Rette was accompanied by h-r sop and both were ushered Into the judge's chambers. George W. Caldwell acted ns one of the witnesses to the cere mony and Mr. Malarkey was the other. They' were the only outsiders present when Judge Morrow pronounce, i me aged lover and Mrs. Pu Rette man and w!f. When the ceremony was over Ma larkey burst through the door and his pleased countenance told the waiting newspaper men that the critical mo ment was past. A moment later Mr Movers came out to speak to the news paper men. He accepted their congrat-j ulntions and talked of his plans 1 He said that he and Mrs. Meyers would remain In Portland for a tlnjo. he could not tell how long. It might be a few davs and it may be weeks or months. Then they will go to southern California for the winter, he said.

I do I want to deny, however, the gross mls I representations made agulnst my hus band. 1 have only .one fault to find 'and that is that Mr. Stevens did not i compel this woman to keep her place.

But I knew Ii. had never been nurrled. Neither would I have married him had he failed to do what was right even by a mem ber of a class which rcijiilrrs our sym pathy nnd our help If tliey will accept it." Stevens Files Answer. Yesterday afternoon SteVens filed Ills answer in the circuit court to the ih.arg-s made by Louise Powell. The answer declares thnt the woman had never been nmrt'led to him; that he had I never Uymi able to get along with her i amicably, that lie had paid her J25.00t. ibut that bIk; had failed to keep her 'part of the agreement made at the time Ithnt she was to leave him for all time. The contrcct In question Is made the basis of the prayer that the court de clare null and void any provisions ex isting iimvv in the Hgteement und bind ing Stevens by Its terms. Alligations ol threats against bis life are nlso In ' eluded in the answer, besides other charges relativ e to t lie manner In which i.ouise Powell is accused of having at tempted to injure Stevens' reputation and his standing, both at the banks ' with which he transacts business and the business circle. Iir Which ht has for years been a familiar figure. Clark Scores Stevens. i When informed of the charges made bv Mrs. Lillian Monk Stevens, A. E. Clark, attorney for Mrs. Louise Powell Stevens, said; "In perfect harmony with his usual conduct In his relations with women, T. M. Stevens loo cowardly to assume the responsibility of any such state i ment, has taken refuge behind the skirts of the woman now living with him. Thnt what has been said by Miss Lil lian Monk was Inspired by Stevens ts not open to question, if I thought oth erwise perhaps a lew interest ing side lights might he thrown upon matters or interest to this woman." j "The statement is conspicuous for Its' nieii.ho itv nn I startling In the exuber- nine of Its weird imagery. For instance; it Is stated that Alls. Louise Stevens' was paid 2.',im. The fact is she was J paid bark $s,ihin out (lf $l0,i10i which Mr. Stevens owed her nnd was given I in addition an assignment of a mort gage for $1 1,000. At the same time. ' Stevens made the contract upon which ihe present action was based. Terms of Contract. j "Miss Monk also slates that this; settlement was made in consideration licit Mrs. Stevens procure a divorce; that Stevens might marry her iMIss Monk). Well, the facts appear to be t that when this settlement was made Stevens had not us yet met the woman j wdio now lives with him, but was then bringing joy. gla.uiess and current ex- i person into the lives of other females. Stevens has paid nothing since the set-' li'iment and tins refuse,) to live up to: Lis contract then made. Probably his diffuse and Impartial domestic habits lave depleted his resources. "So far as the marriage certificate is concerned tho one exhibited to me was not signed by a Justice of the peace and Miss Monk must have gotten mixed up by recalling a certificate she may have seen or used under other cir cumstances. "()ne cannot help but admire the courage of Miss Mohk, although ques tioning her discretion. It takes cour age and a rare degree of unspotted in nocence to marry a man who has, to put it mildly, an unsettled matrimonial status." 1 1 Bnomv gacftson, 7tb Dccfitoent or tbc xantteo States.
