THE WALLACH DIVORCE,
Facts Presented to Do Justice to tn
Husband.

f'actS PRESENTED to Do Justice to the
Husband.
To the Editor of The Evening Star:
AS one of your Oldest subscribers, your
never-failing sense Of fairness will, I am
sure, induce you to grant me the space to
correct an article in yesterdays Star
Clipped from the New York Times) which
does cruel injustice to a member of my
family. 1t Is a dispatch from Newport to
the New York Times giving an account Of
the divorce granted to Mrs. Maud Barger
Wallach from my nephew, Richard Wal
ZACH, of this city. on the ground Of neglect
and refusal to provide" He never neglect
ed her, and she has so acknowledged be-
fcre numerous witnesses Even after they
had separated he offered to provide a home
for her. He consented to her basing her
application for divorce upon the ground
OF non-support, which Is one of the causes
Under which divorce may be granted in
Rhode Island, because they both wished to
be rid of each other. and he did not appear
at the hearing in the Newport courts yes
terday because Of distinct understanding
between counsel that no evidence in any
way rejecting on him would be introduced
1t seems that this understanding has been
violated, In spirit at least by causing to
be published in the daily press the article
above referred to. The item is manifestly
inspired by her or her attorney, and this
fact must be my apology for giving to the
other side the same publicity.
The statement that she was married
against her parents wishes is utterly false
My sister and 1, who were living in Paris
when we heard of the engagement, wrote
to her mother and to her stating that he
was not then engaged in business and had
no money. and that they should wait until
he was able to provide for her. The re-
ceipt Of these letters was acknowledged but
they were married at her fathers nome in
Newport shortly afterward, surely not with
the disapproval Of her family. The state
ment that "her father had to furnish the
money for their wedding trip is equally
untrue. My nephew was presented with
abundant means by his mother. although
she disapproved of his marrying SO young,
to cross the ocean and come to at our
apartment in Paris. where they remained
more than half the time they were in
Europe.
Almost Immediately on his return he was
given place in New York city by a gen.
tleman who didn't even know his wifes
family. His employer told me he did his
work thoroughly and well. He voluntarily
resigned this place, for reasons which Mr..
Barger must very well understand, and
which bore no sort of relation to my
nephew's associations or habits. There was
nothing else for him to do. His father-in
law, although man of large wealth and
business connections, did nothing what
ever to assist MIN in procuring other work.
These things, and a great many others
on her side as on his, could and would
have been shown but for the agreement of
counsel that nothing would be put upon
the record that would reflect in any way
upon either party to the ill-advised mar
riage contract JESSE BROWN.

JOHN MINK GETS A NEW

Egeland Township was the scene OF
great excitement last Friday night, ex-
element away out OF the usual order
-something that has been smosldering
for a long time. The history OF the case
is said to be substantially as follows:
Something over a year ago, John
Mink, al Egrland, went TO Chicago with
a carload OF stock, and upon hs return
was afflicted with a loathsone disease
which he communicated to las family.
Incensed at the whole ~proceedlngs, his
