Court records:
Age 63 years, 1 month, 23 days.∼Legal wife of "Judge" W. W. (William Wormer) Drummond, of Utah infamy.

===============
Judge William Wormer Drummond arrived in Salt Lake City in July 1856, accompanied by an attractive woman he referred to as "Mrs. Drummond."

Although Drummond frequently invited her to sit on the bench with him during court sessions, it was soon discovered that she was not his wife at all -- but a prostitute named Ada Carroll."Skinny Ada," as she was called, was said to be "a ravishing beauty whose only physical defects were a slight lisp and a split in one of the fingers of her left hand."

Bill Knecht is an energetic retired lawyer who "never leaves a question unchased." For the past 45 years, Knecht has been meticulously researching Judge Drummond's life and has "several file cabinets filled with raw stuff." Currently, he is writing a book on the judge.

=================
"My dad died at age 50 in 1959, so I really had no information to speak of," says Drummond. "He had come from Burlington, Iowa, in the late 1920s."

Drummond responded to the note and recently visited Knecht in Salt Lake City to collect information about his family history.

"I'm very, very pleased," Drummond said. "It's knowledge I could not have gotten otherwise. Now I want to find my way back beyond the judge to find his kinfolk."

Knecht says Judge Drummond was a blatantly immoral man who deserted his wife, Jemima, and five children at Oquawka, Ill. When he was asked about them, he lied that he had obtained a divorce.
