W. E. D. Stokes Indicted in ' Plot on Wife N. Y. Millionaire, Hit Attor ney and 5 Others Named in Conspiracy to Blacken Woman’s Reputation. Chicago, Oct. 5.—W. E. D. Stokes, millionaire hotel man of New York, hts attorney, Daniel Nugent of New York, and five others were indicted by the cofcnty grand jury today on charges of conspiracy in connection with the charges of Mrs. Ileien El tvood Stokes that her husband and his agents plotted to ruin her reputa tion in connection with his divorce suit. The indictment, containing nine counts, came on the eve of the re hearing of the suit in which Stokes seeks to divorce his wife. The hear ing is set for Monday in New York. Those named include Robert M. T.ee, formers deputy sheriff; Joseph Bruner, taxicab driver, said to have been used as a "pay-off" man, and alleged to have (fought to hire per jured testimony; Ray Hubert, former head waiter at the Beaux Arts club, a ‘‘blark and tan" resort; Henry Tapsiey. a New York negro, said to have made an affidavit that Mrs. Stokes once was an inmate of a re sort, and Mrs. Hattie Johnson, col ored. alleged to have been active in gathering evidence for Stokes. The Indictment is the first returned in court since Mrs. Stokes recently made public her sensational charges that her husband and his agents plot ted by perjured evidence to attempt to besmirch her name with charges and insinuations that she had, a dozen years ago, been an inmate of a notorious resort here and had fre quemed negro cafes. She has charged that the divorce suit and the alleged conspiracy were her husband's effort to cut off her two children from Stokes’ estate, that his wealth might go to his son, \V. E. Stokes, jr., by a former marriage. The young man referred to/ as "Weddle" has been sued by Mrs. Stokes for $1,000,000 as a result of a letter she alleges he wrote his father, declaring he had been inti mate with his stepmother. Mrs. Stokes has declared "Weddie's” charges false. Mrs. Stokes has charged—and she is said to have testilied in detail be fore the grand jury yesterday to the same effect—that agents of her hus band, using photographs of herself taken in Driver, her former home, and elsewhere, have sought to have them identified by numerous persons, chiefly servants formerly employed in the one-time segregated vice district •t Chicago, as those of an under world woman. She has charged that photographs even were faked in an •(fort to show that she once was friendly with a man. She hae made her charges to the •tate’s attorney, the grand-jury and to newspaper reporters. She was be fore the grand jury yesterday when •he was said to have taken up the various charges which she attributed to her husband and his agents and to have denied all of them and to have explained where and when vari ous photographs which she alleged were u^ed in a plot to defame her, were taken and the circumstances surrounding them. Other witnesses were heard by the grand jury today prior to the return in court of the indictments. Among them was Mrs. Anna Johnson, once a housekeeper in the notorious Ever leigh club, a resort that flour.shed years ago. The witness is said to have testified that W. E. D. Stokes once approached her and asked her to identify a picture of Mrs. Stokes as the likeness of a former habitue of the club. Mrs. Johnson was said to have testified that she could not identify the picture. Among the counts in the indict ment were the following allegations; Conspiracy to chars* and accuse Mrs. Helen Elwood Stokee with hav ing been an inmate of a notorious resort. Conspiracy to deprive Mrs. Stokes of her good name, credit and reputa tion. Conspiracy to circulate false rum ors about Mrs. Stokes' reputation and character. Subordination of perjury in pend ing litigation. Conspiracy to do illegal acts. Conspiracy to do iniury to tlie pub lic justice. Other counts were of a similar or summing up natu^. Bonds for each of those indicted svere fixed at $6,000. Should the ac cused who live outside Chicago full to appear and give bond, it was un derstood extradition proceedings will be resorted to.
