Kate B.Linn Files Sensational Motion in Court At Oregon City
Oregoon City,Or.,Nov.22-(Special)- Deception and fraud in procuring a divorce 
last week is charged by Kate B.Linn against F.E.Linn.Mrs.Linn today filed a 
sensational motion through her attorney,G.E.Hayes,in which she asks the court 
to vacate the order granting the divorce and open  up the case that she may be 
given an opportunity to make an answer to the complaint and make a defense to 
the suit.
In the motion that was filed this afternoon Mrs.Linn alleges that several 
times since filing of the divorce suit agaiinst herself by Linn on October 8 
last,Linn visited her at the home of her father,B.L.Commons,ni this 
city,before the time expired in which she could defend herself against the 
divorce proceedings. A few days after thew divorce had been filed ,the woman 
represents that Linn called on her and stayed all night with her,when he 
confessed that he had been hasty in fiing the suit for divorce,which he said 
he would not prosecute,as he desired again to live with her,asked her 
forgiveness and assured her that it would be unnecessary for her to employ an 
attorney to fight the case.
Mrs.Linn furhter alleges that Linn remained all night in her company on the 
night of November 18 last,and on the following morning ppeared in the Circuit 
Court and obtained a decree dissolving the marriage relations existing between 
them and by his fraudelent acts obtained from the court the case and custody 
of their minor child.
Judge McBride granted the decree of divorce last Saturday on charges of 
infidelity preferred against the wife by the husband,and for the further 
reason of the nonappearance of the defendant at the hearing of the case.
The otion to vacate the decree of the divorce is supported by the affadavits 
of Mrs.Linn's father,B.L.Commons,and Warren Charles,who depose as to the 
relations that existed between the husband and wife during the pendency of the 
divorce suit.Mr.and Mrs. Linn are both young people,the wife being but 26 
years of age. The husband is engaged in the saawmill business near this city
