SAYS HIS DIVORCE WAS COLLUSITE.
DAVIDSON Also AYERS THAT HIS TRUST AGREE
MENT WITH HIS WIFE WAS ILLEGAL

DAVIDSON Also, AYERS THAT HIS TRUST AGREE
MENT WITH HIS WIFE WAS ILLEGAL
An application that made to Judge Mccarthy
Yesterday in the City Court brought TO light a
strange story The suit in which the application
made is that brought by Mary y. Train against
George L. Davidson, and the application was to
grant the plaintiff judgment for $1,000 against the de-
fendant on the ground that he put In an unverlfied
answer TO her complaint.
The plaintiff IN her complaint alleges that the
defendant for a valuable consideration. agreed to
pay her s2,0Oo year during her lifetime in semi
annual payments OF $1,000. and she AYERS that one
years instalmen is due but that the defendant has
positively refused to pay the money
Davidson in his answer says that he married
Mary II. Baldwin. who Is the plaintiff In this ac-
tion and that there was no issue of their union.
Continuing. he asserts that his WIFE being desirous
of dssolvIng the marriage with him. 80 that she
could marry Frederick c. Train, suggested that
he give her grounds for absolute divorce. and
said that II he would do and not oppose her suit
for divorce she would not ask for alimony. In
sideration of this agreement which he entered into
Davidson says he was to pay her an annuity OF
g. 900 during her life by an assignment pro tanto
of trust fund created for the benefit of himself
under the will OF Abbey f.. Layton. The defendant
his wife secured divorce against him in the Su-
prerne Court in October. 1894.
In accordance with the agreement, Davidson as
sors. he executed assignment TO the plaintiff Of
ment he declares, was in violation OF law. He
further alleges that he has paid under 1t $500 and
he sets this up a counter claim.
Decision was reserved In the application.
the plaintiff and Ira Leo Bamberser represents the
defendant.
