In Reply to: maxine cates by Kenneth Cates of 1993

I DID FIND THIS TRIAL
Historical Newspapers > Modesto Evening News (Modesto, California) > 1920 > June > 15
SHE CHARGES HE IS THE SOLE SUPPORT OF HIS MOTHERM FATHER AND HER

[THE WWI DRAFT DOES STATE THAT HE IS SUPPORT OF HIS MOTHER AND WIFE]

ONE OF THE ARTICLES MENTIONS A STATEMENT BY ELLA GOODRICH THAT MAXINE WAS A PROSTITUTE IN PASCO WASH, AND WENT TO SPOKANE, ST LOUIS, AND CLAIR ILLINOIS


ANOTHER ARTICLE STATES THE GOVERNMENT MAINTAINS THAT DEMPSEY ADN MAXINE WERE NEVER LEGALLY MARRIED

ANOTHER STATES SHE SAYS HE SERVED HER WITH DIVORCE PAPERS IN WELLS NV IN 1919

NOT ONCE IN ANY OF THESE ARTICLES DOES IT STATE HER MAIDEN NAME

It was during this trip home that Dempsey met and married a piano-playing prostitute fifteen years his senior named Maxine Cates. The two endured a tumultuous relationship that was marked by his long trips away from home and her reluctance to give up her way of life. At nineteen, Dempsey was struggling to provide for his wife and continuing to dream of fame and fortune. In San Francisco, he met the flamboyant manager that would help him take the next step. John Leo McKernan, known as "Doc" Kearns, had been a welterweight fighter, minor league ballplayer, faro dealer, bouncer and bartender before he settled in as a fight manager. His flashy style—including jewelry and strong cologne—clashed with Dempsey's. Ultimately, though, the match would be fruitful. Kearns got the fights and Dempsey the knockouts. In the spring of 1917, they began a string of fights that would pave the way to his first title fight.

YOU SEE THIS REFERS TO HER AS 15 YRS OLDER THAN HIM...

SHE MAY WELL BE ADELINE'S DAUGHTER...MAYBE THEY DISOWNED HER I DONT KNOW...DEPENDS ON WHO IS TELLING THE STORY I GUESS
GEEZZZ WHAT A MESS!


GOOD LUCK

CONNIE
