being perfectly sane.

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

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."
