the command of Major James Wilson,

GRAND JURY MAY HEAR OF 1T.
Snnford's Divorce Said to Have
Been Obtained by CoIIusion.

Lawyer B. w. Traitel will make ap-
plication to Judge McAdam to set aside
the decree of divorce obtained by Mana
ger Walter l.. Sanford. OF Niblo's. on
the ground of collision. Mrs. Sanford,
who was formerly a soubrette in her
husbands company. claims he offered
her $500; the manuscript of a play, and
a regular allowance If she would give
him grounds for a divorce.
She agreed, and they procured the
services of Edmund Kimble, with whom
she visited the st. Cloud Hotel. San
that obtained the divorce.
Mrs. Sanford says her husband has
failed 70 keep his part of the agree
ment. She was forced by stress of pow
erty, she says. to accept the PROPOSE
ton. Sanford has an income Of some
$4,000 from his four theatres, and sew
eral companies, while she says she is
on the verge of starvation.
Her lawyer, B. w. .Traitel, said to-day
that Sanford's complaint in the divorce
proceedings set forth that there was
no collision, and that the matter would
probably be called to the attention of
the Grand Jury If the decree was set
aside. The Sanfords have lived apart
for five years.
