Hommel, in court here while she told an amazing story, saying: "I am the mother of 3 children, but I never was a wife in fact to the father." She continued: "I was married to a Mr. Shelley at the time, but we had no children." An attorney asked her whether Raphael Corcoran was the father. She replied: "Yes. His children and my children were given to me by a marvelous scientific practice accomplished by a Detroit physician and with Mr. Shelley's full consent." She declared that she told Dr. Hommel of the situation after she divorced Shelley and was engaged to marry Dr. Hommel. The strange testimony was brought out in Mrs. Hommel's suit against Dr. Hommel over division of a $500,000 estate.
