Mrs. Mccarthy Seeks Payment
Of Arrears Of AIImuny.
NOW The Wife OF CITY JUDGE.
Kspelman, Who Is Nov Living 10 Ohio, De :
nlss Liability for Support Of Children
Now In Custody Of Mother.

New York, March 2.--In a suit begun

To conflicting divorce laws of different
states is involved.
Mrs. Mccarthy, who IS a sister OF Judge
Josephs, OF the Seventh District court,
married unhappiIy the first time, and in
January, 1895 obtained n divorce from
Isaac Kopelman, who had left this state
and gone to Ohio.
The divorce was granted by Judge
Dugro. and the wife was awarded GUS
tody OF the children. The husband was
ordered TO pay $40 week for their sup
port. Service upon Mr.. Kopelman was by
publication.
Upon this fact hinges the contention OF
his lawyers that he cannot be compelled
TO pay the alimony which is I'm arrears.
They hold that under decision OF the
United States Supreme court a resident
OF one state sued for divorce In another
state and not served personally with a
notice OF the suit, cannot be held re-
sponsible for alimony.
Counsel for the other side assert how
ever, that Kopeiman was resident OF
this state at the time the divorce pro-
ceedings were begun. and that he is liza
bic for the amount assessed by the court
here.
Kopelman was n wealthy Broadway
1eweler up 10 seven years ago. He now
lives In Toledo, o., and Mrs. Mccarthy al
leges that since she obtained a divorce
from him he has married Sarah Nuss-
baum. OF Toledo. Their wedding is said
10 have been celebrated by Rabbi j.
Freund on Jan. 3, 1901.
Judge Mccarthy and Mrs. Carrie Kopel-
man were married at St. Francis church.

Carthy is wealthy in her own. right. sSe

so Mr.. Croker has actually written TO
some OF his old friends and asked them
10 visit the club. And this furnishes ma
terial enough for three columns of pad

Possibly the progress we are making
