The dentist, according to the evidence set before the court, had been married to Mrs. Betty Shuff for nine years before Mrs. Shuff, a year ago, brought suit for separation. Last September, it was established, Shuff got a divorce through the mails from the State of Chihuahua, and forthwith wont through a marriage ceremony with Miss Morrison.

The second Mrs. Shuff died March 20, last, from injuries received ten days prior in a bus accident.

The separation action of the original Mrs. Shuff against the dentist is still pending. U. S.
