Fact Is. Shs Says. Emily
Has Gone Wrong

The family troubles of young ]. K EN-
met and his pretty wife, Emily Lytton.
have created a great deal of local inter-
est from the fact that both are well
known In Butte and other parts OF Mon
tana. and through the. sensational
charges made by Miss Lytton against
her husband. which first appeared In the
Standard In an interview with the young
woman. The following from the San
Francisco Chronicle relative to her
charges against her husband and a
young California woman, win be Of inter-
est:
dispatches received in this city a few
days ago from Butte, Mont, announced
that Mrs. J. X. Emmett, known to thea
ter goers as Emily Lytton, intended to
bring suit for divorce from her husband,
J. X. Emmett, or Fritz Emmett, as he
is known on the stage. Infidelity was al
legged to be the ground upon which Mrs.
Emmett would ask to be freed from the
obligations of the marriage vow. In maxi
ing this charge against her husband Mrs.
Emmett named as correspondent Miss
Nielsen, the pretty and popular prima
dona, late Of the Tivoli opera house, but
now travelling with the Bostonians. Miss
Neilsens friends In this city, who are al
most as numerous those who have
heard her sing. were shocked to hear
that her name had come before the pub
lie In such an unpleasant connection.
Many of them were prompt to express
themselves as believing that the charges
of Mrs. Emmett. as the related to Miss
Nielsen, were wholly without foundation
In fact, and had been prompted by mali
cious motives. Aside from this they were
at a loss to know by what probability
any but decorous relations could have ex-
listed between Mr.. Emmet and Miss
Nielsen. for. so far as they knew, Miss
Nielsen was not even acquainted with
the husband of her accuser. ~
while these reports affecting her char
acter were circulating here right upon
the heels of her much applauded eleva-
ton from the light opera stage. Miss
Nielsen was In the southern part Of the
state with the Bostonians. entirely una
ware of the reproach which Mrs. En-
met had attempted to cast upon her
name. When Miss Nielsen reached San
Jose with her company she was told that
her presence was needed here as witt
ness in a case which had been called in
the superior court. She requested leave
of absence and came on to San Francisco
a couple of days ago. Upon her arrival
here her friends informed her what Mrs.
Emmet has said of her. Although she
denied to them the truth of the charges
Miss Nielsen had not until last night
made any public statement In regard to
the matter. aeiu
Miss Nielsen was seated with Mrs.
Kreling in her private box at the Tivoi
last night when shown a dispatch from
Butte, in which Mrs. Emmett was quoted
as repeating the allegations of her hus-
bands infidelity and adding the further
| statement that Miss Nielsen would be
| named as correspondent In her suit. for
| divorce upon Mr.. Emmet's admission of
| intimacy. .d4
"'Of course you wish to deny the truth

| NeilsenT was asked.
Most certainly I deny 1t. Why, I
have never met Mr.. Emmett but three
| times in my life The first time was
when 1 was introduced to him In the
dressing room of the TivolL At that
| time he was with his wife and I was in<
| troduced to her also. The second time
met Mr.. Emmett was at the Grand opera
| house. At that time he accompanied me
| from the door of the theater to a street
| car The last time I met him was on the
| streets of this city. He was then in COM
| pany with a newspaper reporter. and 1
| merely recognized him as we passed.
| Now that is the extent of my relations to
| Mr.. Emmett. and as TO his wife. I scarce
| ly know her at all. for have never met
i her since the time we were introduced in
| the dressing room of this house
| with reference 10 the reported admis-
/ sions from her husband which Mrs. EN-
Il
| III she said that she said what was not
| true. for i do not believe that Mr.. EN-
met is a man who would say such a
| thing. DO you, Mrs. Kreling?
| What is that? said Mrs. Kreling, who
| had been watching the play. Miss Nell
| sen repeated her statement No. she's
| crazy answered the lady. who is suing
her stage manager. You had better see
| your lawyer before you talk about this
| matter
"'oh, this is awful said Miss Nielsen.
| despairinly Just to think that my
| name should be coupled with that wo-
| mans affairs, But i could make her suf-
fer for this. I could sue her for damages.
couldn't I? But / won't talk about IL
now
Miss Nielsen was asked as to Mrs.
Emmets motive In making such a
charge.
"'Oh, my, 1 don't know she said, un-
less she was jealous. But what have
done to make her Jealous? 1 don't under
stand it.
Mrs. Emmett Is a nice woman to
| make such charges put In Mrs. Kreling,
| who was becoming more interestd in
Miss Nelson's trouble than she was in
the play. Why. the cause of the trouble
| she had with Mr.. Emmett In this city
was her intimacy with another man.
We'll, I'm going TO see my lawyer be-
fore say anything. But what's the use.
You tell them. please that have made a
general denial Of what Mrs. Emmett has
said of me. That's the best can do, /
suppose, but just to think and Miss
Nielsen looked as though she would like
to say some harsh things about the wo-
man who has made the charge against
her."
