...fame was slow in coming to little Bertha. She went to Indiana University and completed a four-year course in three. Then she taught in the Classical High School of Worcester. About that time Henry Landes, a Hoosier who had been a student with her, took his A.M. in geology at Harvard. A few months later, on the day after New Year's, 1894, they were married.

They left behind them John W. Lacey, ex-Hoosier, ex-school-teacher, ex-Chief Justice of Wyoming, gallant 76-year-old leader of the Rocky Mountain Bar, also "of counsel for the defense." Next morning's Chicago express puffed Eastward with Owen J. Roberts of Philadelphia, ex-Senator Atlee Pomerene of Ohio, other lawyers "of counsel for the prosecution."
