Mrs. Morse would not consent to clinching the old divorce but wanted to have a new sult brought. Ex-Judge Fureman then stepped into the argument and sald he was retained by Mr. Morse for Mrs. Morse in the marriage annulment proceedings. Mr. Fursman said that he was not told anything Mr. Morse of the letter Mr. Hummel had written to Mr. Morse, Brought Friendly Action, Mr. Irursman then read an affidavit of his own declaring that he brought a “friendly action for the annulment of the marriage.” Afterward Lawyer Sweetser presented the Dodge letters to Judge Fursman. Mr. Fursman arranged a meeting be- tween Mrs. Morse and Mr. Sweetser. The meeting was had and the letters shown to Mrs. Morse. She said she could not determine positively 1f Dodge had written the letters. Then Mr. Morse and Mr, Fursman urged Mrs, Morse to establish these let- ters and clinch the old divorce, Mrs. Morse refused positively to re-establish the old divoree-and asked that an en- tirely new one be sought.

Mr. Hummel said: ‘I take sexous issue with Mr. Untermyer on his view of this ca: which I am frank to say is the dirtiest bargain that was ever put through the courts.” Mr. Hummel then again reviewed the various steps taken in the earlier stages of the lege) tangle. Mr. Hummel referred to the fact that even Mrs. Morse would not stand by the letters alleged to have been wris- ten by her former husband and !dentity | them 4 asked if under such cireum- stances they should be admitted with- out question. Mr. Hummel called attention to the fact that in his alleged letter to law- yer Ruger Dodge sald he did not wish to defend {he lawsult. “In spite of this request,” added Mr. Hummel, “an anawer was put in for Dodge. Why? Beeause an undefended divorce action must be tried in the open. “T maintain and will prove that the referee, Wood, in the original divorce action was as guilty as Lawyer Ruger and that the referee and Lawyer Sweetser were in collusion in this most shameful divorce proceeding. I Intend to establish that Mr, Wood was a partner and associate of Mr, Sweetser and that they were arrested together as associates in business.” Mr. Untermydr then arose and that ‘there was no doubt in ie mind that the Dodge divorce was open to Severo criticiam.
