NEW COUNTER CHARGE IS BROUGHT iri DIVORCE SUI 3IAX DENIES IX CROSS-COM-PLAIXT HE WAS MARRIED ! Says Woman Deceived Him Into Believing She Was Single and Unmarried ' ; T A unique counter-charge to a di vorce complaint has been discov ered. : . ..'. ."' ' ' One week ago Eva Schlecht started action, for "a divorce from her husband, Arthur Schlecht. Among a variety of other things, Mrs. Schlecht f declared that she was forced to do heavy manual abor in the fields, was treated un kindly and unappreciatively, and was called, vile and improper names and made the recipient of slanderous accusations. All con stituting cruel and inhuman treat ment, and, causing her bodily pain ana mental angutsn. mat was one week ago; , j In a counter-charge, Schlecht now appears, and denies every thing. And he even goes a step farther, and denies that he was ever married to her. At least, not legally.,-. ;, j- . , . k t . According to Schlecht's com plaint, before he was married to the plaintiff in the case, she mar ried Wade Palmer, and later, on May 3. 1920, was granted a di vorce from nim. Schlecht declares that he then married her, on June li 1920, after -she hag told him that "she was a single woman, un married, and capable of entering into a marriage contract with the defendant, and that the marrige contract .would- be legal." r ,iae complaint states , further. that the defendant, Schlecht. "was tnereby procured by the plaintiff to go through a marriage cere mony at Vancouver, Washington. on June 1, 1920, less than 30 days after the rendition of the Palmer decree. , The last marriage Is therefore said to be illegal, and Schlecht can not be sued for divorce. Schlecht formerly lived at Cash mere. Washington, but is now em ployed at a logging camp at Eu gene. ; ; i MAY DAY TEMPEST IS i nHriOLT SUBSIDING FINAL CHAPTER WRITTEX BY BOARD OF TRUSTEES Sponsor of Petition Causing Cam pus Ruckus Willing to Let Matter Drop What was hoped to be the final cnapier or the Willamette i May dance co utroversr was written Tuesday in the form of a resolu tion by. the ! executive committA of the Willamette board of trus tees during the regular meeting, ine. resolution read as follows , '-'The attention of the executive committee of Willamette univer any nas .
