Tho Irvine divorce trial commences tomor- row afternoon at Salt Lake City, and a num ber of Lincoln people have been summoved toappear as witnesses. Judging from the testimony that has been gathered by lrvine's attorneys, the case will be one of the most salucious in the history of the Mormon co monwealth, The principal witness from Lincoln will be Miss Rae Cameron, the pro prietress of a well known house of ill-repu in this city. Miss Cameron stavted for Salt Lake City o few davs ago. She will testify that Mrs. Irvine's reputation was uot of the best during the time that she lived in Lin coln, Her story as told to Juage Powers, the legal representative of Mr. Irvine, is to _the eficct that at one time Mrs. lrvine became greatly enamoured of a well known newspaper man in Lincoln known as Colonel Hayes, an attacie of the State Journalstaff for several years, At the same time Huyes was a favored friend of [Rae Cameron. Mrs. Tvvine would frequently telephone to Miss Cameron and ask the whoreabouts of Hayes and when Hayes happened 1o be at the Cameron re sort, which was pretty much all the time Mus. Trvine would cali for him in u carriage. Upon other oceasions Hayes and the Cameron woman would_meet C. ' Montzomery and Mrs. Ivvite in Montzomery's room and spend theafternoons and cveninis together in card playing, zossip and other social amusements.

Another witness will be a hotel keeper in Chicago, who will produce the pages of the register to show that Mrs. Irvine had stopped at his hotel over night with a gen- tleman who was uot her husband, ana that the two occupied the same rooms Still another witness will be at Denver who is prepared to prove that on her trip east 1rom Salt Lake City a fow manths before the famous tragedy’ which cost C.

A sleeping car port willalso be on hand to show that Mr Trvine consoled herself for the absenc her husband, even while enroute to the cast. ‘The number of witnesses who will testify 10 acts of pross indecency committed here in Lincoln with C. 1.
