Kiley, John J., Monroe, Michigan to James F. Edwards, Notre Dame, Indiana, 1903 April 07

He writes at the request of Charles D. Smith who went by the nickname of Major Dwight Smith and who at one time was a student at Notre Dame. Smith was arrested for bigamy on the ground that he married Mrs. De Mar in Monroe without having a divorce from Marie V. Turner. Smith acted in good faith, as he believed he had obtained a divorce from the latter, who had been untrue to him. When he found that Mrs. De Mar was a notorious character, he left her. Then, she committed suicide. :: XI-2-f A.L.S. 3pp.
