New YORK, July 81.
Berlin papers contain letter from
Baron Won Rhedaw, the divorced nus
band OF Madame Lucca, repudiating and
denouncing what he terms a villainous
piece of raseality practised on him in
New York in the divorce suit. He saws
leaving untouched all the other shameful
antecedents, l, last autumn, laid before
the proper Court in Berlin complaint
for divorce, on the ground of malicious
abandonment; and this proceeding is
taking its regular course. The accusa-
ton raised against me, and through
which, in connection with perjury and
other crimes, success has apparently |
been obtained, l declare to be a most |
perfect untruth of the worst kind, as
also are hearsay declarations attributed
to witness who is not even named. |
The reason for Fastening proceedings
in such sudden and un-
heard Of manner, and by this act of VIC.
lence in New York, can only be on the
ground of the news reported in the jour-
nails. that Madame Lucca had already
again been married to Major Van Wall
hoffee. The Baron denies having re.
'eived any notice of proceeding begun for
divorce in New York, and states he has
moved in the Court which granted the
decree, for its annulment.
