TICKLE WIFE,
SAYS JOHN E.
Man. EdmOnStOn Declares He
Will Sue for a Divorce.
BLAME PUT ON HERMAN HAUSER
Detectives Engaged in Hunting Evi-
dencs to Prove the Claim.
HAusER is TREASURER OF THEATRE.
Mr.. Edmonston Is a New York theatrical
Manager, and His Plant Is as The
atricaI as His Profession.
aAusER is TREASURER OF THEATRE.

New York, July 2e.-Back OF the matri-
monial difficulties of John T.. Edmonston
and his wife. which Edmonston says will
reach the divorce courts, there is a story
which in many respects overshadows the
most thrilling incidents OF the sensational
melodrama.
Mr.. Edmonston is theatrical manager.
and his plant is as theatrical as his pro-
fession. He attributes part OF his un-
happiness to Herman Hauser. the treas
urer OF Roster & Balls. and his alleged
tickle wife, who was once married to
Joseph Levy. formerly well known dia-
mond broker.
cured a decree of absolute divorce from
the young woman, and for long time
after that her name was coupled with
that of Hauser. who was then treasurer
at the Herald Square theatre.
HAUSER JUMPED FROM BRIDGE.
One night the police reported that
through certain complications with some
woman Hauser suddenly decided to end
his life by jumping from the Brooklyn
bridge, and alighting from an electric car
at the main span, leaped over the rail and
fell I'm the river.
He was rescued by the crew of a pass
ing tugboat and taken To hospital.
where. after several days he was dis
charged as recovered.
Some time later Edmonston, who was
then treasurer at the Star theatre, met
the former Mrs. Levy. and after short
courtship they decided to marry.
On June 6 the ceremony was performed
at the Little Church Around the Corner.
The week following Mrs. Edmonston
complained of being i'll. and her husband
went with her TO Old Point Comfort,
where they remained several days.
Then they came back to New York. and
the theatrical manager sent his wife up
the country to recuperate.
Less than month from the date of
their marriage Edmonston alleges he re-
ceived a letter from her, saying she was
through with him.
EMPLOAED DETECTIVES.
From that time he saw nothing of her
until recently he learned that she had
been in the company of Hauser He inn
mediately employed detectives to shadow
his wife, and now says he has evidence
on which he will at once proceed for di-
vorce.
II have been reluctant to do so up to
this time" he remarked last night. for
/ thought 1t only proper she should bear
the expense: but as she has shown no
inclination to do so / will so ahead on
my own account"
Mrs. Levy's first husband was reported
to have been worth many thousands of
dollars. Their married life for a time
was a happy one, until the young wom-
an became enamored of the stage.
Several quarrels followed, and. after
awhile. the suit for divorce was institut-
ed. When the decree was finally secured,
Mrs. Levy joined the forces at the Casino
under an assumed name, and after re-
naming there for awhile retired to pri-
vate life.

SHE'S TOO
FOND OF
Mr.. SMITH.
Hemingway Alleges His Wife
Has Been IndiScTest With
a Brooklyn Man.

New York. July 26.-Mrs. Alice Hem
Wy the detectives who so unceremonious-
ly broke into Actor Emmett Corrigan's
hat i'm April. is the defendant In an ac-
ton for absolute divorce which was
brought by her husband. Elbert s.. in
the supreme court yesterday.
He charges that she was so fond OF
Charles Smith, of Decatur street, Brook
lyn. that he can no longer regard her In
the light o. a wife. and for that reason
prays the legal separation from the trib-
unai
he charges among other things that
she has 14-months-old child whose gene
a.ogical distinction isn't recorded In his
own family Bible. and he sets this up as
another cause for complaint.
THE CoRRIGAN INVASION.
Mrs. Hemingway came into prominence
on April IL last Corrigan. who was then
playing the title role In Ben Hur" at tho
Broadway Theatre, returned at midnight
with his wife to his house In Eighth ave-
nue.
After they had retired ne was aroused
about three hours later ~ loud rapping
men standing in the hallway OF his apart
ments.
They demanded to see the wife of the
actor. declaring she was not his wife at
all, but Mrs. Hemingway. the better half
OF the president of the Empire State Tea
company of Nyack.
The actor told the men they were mis-
taken, but one OF them said he was q
lawyer. knew what he was talking
about and proposed to see the alleged
Mrs. Corrigan. N
She walked to the door and still he In
sisted she was the runaway woman until
Hemingway was called in. Then he said
he had never seen the woman before.
HE BROUGHT SUIT.
Corrigan then began suit against the
tea merchant for damages In the sum OF
$4,000, but later the action was discon-
tinued.
Hemingway now claims to have secured
the Brooklyn evidence against his wife
after having had her arrested In Brook
lyn for kidnapping their child. She was
brought to Nyack and, after consenting
before a supreme court justice to give up
the child, she was released.
Mrs. Hemingway Is a prepossessing wo-
man of perhaps 30 years. She and her
husband have been in matrimonial diff
ficulties for several years, which cul-
minated shortly after Corrigan was SO
suddenly taken by surprise.
