TO DEFEND The SUIT.
Mrs Drayton Will Contest the
Divorce Proceedings
She Is Now Abroad, but Lawyer
Shipman Speaks for Her.
He scys Drsyton's Action Is Only .
= Retaliating Step.

Mrs. Charlotte Augusta Drayton. the
daughter of Mrs. William Aston, Is going
to defend the action for divorce which
her husband, J. Coleman Drayton, has
brought against her in the New Jersey
courts.
II the case ever comes to trial. which
seems to be doubtful. according to the
statements of Lawyer A. shlpman. of
Temple Court, Mr.. Shpman says he will
represent the interest Of Mrs. Drayton,
who is now living abroad.
The action brought by Mr.. Drayton,
he says, looks very much like retalia-
ton against his wife, who commenced
proceedings last May in the Surrogate's
Court Of this city to regain the custody
of her children who are now in her
husbands charge.
BY bringing this suit for divorce on
the statutory grounds and naming Hal
lett Alsop Borrowe as correspondent, he
hopes to obtain the permanent custody
of the children by a decree of the Court
Mr. Shipman Is positive. however. that
the case will not amount to anything,
and, in fact, declares IT is only n bluff
on Mr.. Coleman Drayton's part to at
tempt to bring his wfe's family to terms
Mrs. Drayton, he says, can disprove
every one of her husbands allegations
of inhdeiity.
The legal time within which the an
swer to Mr.. Drayton's bill in equity
should have been filed was said to have
expirtd Yesterday, but this Mr. shipman
says Is atmtstake. Mrs. Drayton has
until Oct to reply. but as she is now
living abroad Mr.. shipman has not
beer able to communicate with her re-
Gently. She could have the case re-
opened after decree had been granted.
The divorce suit is to-day the absorb
ing topic OF conversation in social circles
and at the fashionable uptown clubs, and
the course taken by Mr.. Drayton in thus
revfylngI the scandal of two years ago.
despite the request of the Aston family
that the difficulties be hushed up and
further publicity avoided, is severely
criticised In some quarters.
Those related to the families OF both
husband and wife. however. refuse to
discuss the matter and have nothing to
say to-day.
