A H Hummel Declares Now

that He Will Fight the Effort-

to Review the Case to the

BItter End-

A new twist In the remarkable mat

rlmonal tangle of Charles F Dodge his

wife Clemence Coyles DodgeMorse

and ChariM W Morse the millionaire

hanker and Ice man will come tomor ¬

row when Edgar L Fursman chief

counsel for Mrs Dodge will apply to

the Supreme Court for a reopening of

the proceedings for the setting aside of

the Dodgo divorce which resulted In a

rncommtndatlon by Referee Ernest Hall

that the divorce be annulledThis new action will be based upon

the two Utters Which William A Sweet

vorce

ered

¬

In the effects of the late MortimerA Ruger the attorney who represented

Dodge In the divorce hearing Theseletters If genuine Indicate that Dodgedid know of the proceedings for divorcewhich his wlf began against him In-

W8 that he did retain linger to appearfor him In the action antI that he wasserved with the summons and complaintnt the time-

Everything now hinges on these let-

If the Court accepts them asgenuine the entire situation Is clearedfor the original divorce will In all prob-abilIty

fJonf rr dOT el the LetterMr Sweetser took the two letters to

the office of Mr Iur man today andthe lawyers had along conference Atthe conclusion of this conference MrFursmtm authorized this statement

Mr Swoetser lies been here and hasshown me the letters In the Dodge caseI am Inclined to believe that they aregenuine I shall at the proper time apply to the coin In for ito order to showuuse why the proceedings which re-

sulted¬

In the setting aside of the divorcedecree obtained by Mr Dodge shouldnot be reopened I believe such an orderwill be granted without hcsltatttm andthen with these letters there Is no reasonto believe that the original divorce willriot be dfclnred sound As a natural se-

quence¬

to such an action the annulmentlot the marriage of Mr Morse and MrsMorse will be set aside A separate moton would have to be made however toaccomplish tills All of this howeverwill take time We will expedite themutter as quickly as possible for bothMr and Mrs Morse arc anxious to huvethe thing settled as soon as possible

When Mr Bweetser was seell afterIhe conference ha said

q think that these letters completelyvindicate me They show absolutelylint Mr Dodge was aerved with thepapers in the case had a full knewetille of what was going on and furth-ermore
