Mae Wood Testifies in Platt Suit Over Secret Marriage
Mae Catherine Wood testified for hours in New York before Justice O Gorman in a suit for absolute divorce from United States Senator Platt. She claimed a secret marriage at the Fifth Avenue Hotel on November 9 1901 and produced a supposed minister certificate and letters from Platt. Platt denied the marriage and called the Chicago article and forged certificate notes. She said she signed a release for $10 000 but did not receive payment. The trial resumed with further evidence and cross examination.
