Only Mothers Know Her Gladness, Says Mrs. Stokes, Happy at Verdict By HELEN ELWOOD STOKES. Now York, Nov. 10,—Nona but a mother’s heart can know my Joy, my happiness today. A Jury of American men, who for five weeks looked Into my very heart, probed every secret of mv entire life, has vindicated me -of the charges brought against me by William Earl Dodge Stokes, the man In whom my trusting girlhood I believed would love and cherish me through life. But It Is not for myself I cared— It has not been for personal motives I have waged tho five-year fight, ending today. My happiness, In this, my happiest hour, la for my children. Only a mother can realize drhat this vindication means. None but a moth er’s heart can fathom what It would have meant for me, accused of un faithful wifehood, to have been forced to return to my babies, and In the un derstanding years to come, answer to them for the charge put against me by their father. Nqver, perhaps, has a woman—a mother—been forced to suffer ns I have suffered for five long years. Surely no mother has been called upon to fight as I have fought. My life has been made a public record, spread across the pages of the press and the annals of five courts. The picture my husband attempted to draw of me wag In the hues of deep est scarlet. He would have my babies believe that their mother had been unfaithful with men. almost without number. For the most part they arc men whose existence I had never heard, names I did not know existed. It was a mania I had to fight. Vengeance carried to the depths where my name was linked with den izens of Chicago's und' rworld, with negro murderers In prison, with the night life of cities from const to cost. At the hour I lay near death In a Cincinnati hospital my husband was charging I was the life of a gay pajnma breakfast party on Fifth avenue, New York: at the hour my second child was born he tried to tell a jury I was visiting a secre t lover. But all men are not alike. The Jury, which heard every scrap of evidence he could manufacture, has proved that. My heart is fill'd with happiness and gratitude today— thankfulness to the thousands upon thousands of mothers who have writ ten ms during the five yeurg of my fight, to the press which so nobly de fended me. and to the Jury which set me free—free, In the sense that I can now go to my children, my head erect, without a blush—my motherhood without tarnish.
