'quash the summons in the action of the
state of Nevada against "Little Mary,"
-which has been designed to annul the
divorce granted her March 2. 1920. Her
divorce had immediately preceded her
marriage to Douglas Fairbanks.
YICTOBT SWEEPIXG
Judge Langan's ruling was considered
sweeping victory far Mary, end If
. sustained in the supreme court practi
cally establishes the validity of the
famous Fickford-Moore divorce.'
Attorney General. W. B. Fowler filed
a bill of exceptions to the ruling im-
- mediately after the decision was handed
down and 'indicated he would appeal to
jthe state supreme court. '
41 Mary was represented in court today
by Judge P. A. McCarren, her attorney.
Neither she nor Douglas Fairbanks, her
husband, nor Owen Moore was -personally
present today.
LOSE PAT IX COCET.
Judge Langan, in his decision, which
was a lengthy one, ruled that the state
could not at this time properly attack
the divorce as it had Its opportunity to
offer any objections at the time the di
vorce was granted.
Ue further rules that the people of
the state of Nevada cannot now be in
terested parties in the marital relations
of Mary Pickford.

. ruling In the suit which was instituted
soon . after Mary became the bride of
Fairbanks.
Mary's attorneys had moved to quash
the summons served on Mary, claiming
, the state was without Jurisdiction and
' that the attorney general had no right
to file the action. "Arguments were,
held several months ago. ......
CASE IS FAMOUS
The case has become probably the
most famous of all the famous Nevada
divorce actions.
Something more than a year ago Mary
slipped away from her Los Anreles
studio, garbed in clothes she might have
worn in an orphanage scene, and with
her mother went to . Minden, a little
'almost unheard of town near the Cali-.
torn la-Nevada state line.
She had purchased a "home" here, it
was announced, and then followed the
filing of the action for divorce against
Owen Moore, her husband. Moore was
found playing poker In a hotel here,' the
summons served on him and the case
speedily, tried, Mary being granted a
divorce " without a contest.
WEDS FAIRBANKS
She returned to Los Angeles and with
in a few weeks became the bride of
Douglas Fairbanks.
