Of Attorney 0elmas.
ACTED ON HER OWN ACCORD
AGAIN DECLARES SHE HAS
BEEN CRUELTY TREATED.

Mrs. II. W. Hutton. wife Of Police
Commissioner Hutton of san frdh-
cisco. denies strenuously the allega-
tions made bv her husband that Attor-
new ID. NJ Delmas of san Francisco
c0nspired to get Mrs. Huttons money
She denies that Delmas used ahy 4"-
fiuence to get her to do as she has done

In a suit brought by Hutton against
Delmas. he charges that the attorney
induced his wife TO sell her property
charged her am extoruonaJe price LOT
legal services that were not worth @lUoi
that he induced her to leave her nome
and has her as a prisoner In the Man
itOu hotel in this city all for the puf-
pose of getting her money. He asserts
that Mr.. Delmas met his wife in san
Francisco and advised Eer to sell her
property. and afterwards came TO salt
Lake to see her about the matter.
Defends Her Attorney.
In his answer to the suit as printed
in yesterdays Herald, Mr.. Delmds de-
MES all these allegations and cl2ICis
that he was retained by Mrs. Hutton
as an attorney and he has simply done
as she demanded in what actions ne
has taken in the matter. When shown
the account Of the suit and Mr.. Del
mas answer yesterday afternoon, MIS-.
Hutton said:
81 have heard nothing of the suit
]
what I see here i know, though, that
[ the alleEauons made by my husband
are not true. The statements made by
Attorney Delmas in his answer are all
true / had negotiations under way 10
sell my property before l saw Mr.. Del
mas at all. He did not advise me to
sell it, I determined to sell my prop
/ erty and get the money so my hus-
/ band cOulI rot get it under his con
/ troll. as Ie wanted 10 do. Then l went
/ 10 Mr. De'mas and got him to look
after it. I hired him and paid him
/ to do il I didn't ask him for his advice
/ as to whether or not I should sell my
property. I. was mine and ] had a
/ right to do what I pleased with it.
Claims Ill-treatment.
CAS- for Mr.. Delmas advising me to
/ leave home and commence divorce pro-
/ ceedings against my husband, that Is
/ absurd. I sutss after / have mad
| twelve or thirteen years Of mistredt-
ment don't need any advice to leave
/ home and commence divorce proceed
| ings.
II am not a prisoner in the hotel here
/ I can go and come when ] please and
/ see my friends when 1 please. / came
| here simply to stay until the divorce
proceedings are over, and ] propose to
/ stay until that time. That is all there
is to it,"
Regarding the divorce proceedings
/ Mrs. Hutton has a letter, according ia
/ her statements, from Mp. Delmas, ad-
vising her not to get a divorce unless
sh. had, after careful consideration
I decided that that was necessary fOI
/ her peace and happiness. Being a
/ Catholic and not believing in divorces
/ himself, he stated that if she insisted
upon a divorce she would have to gei
! someone else to take charge of the case
f1r he did not conduct divorce cases.
As TO the allegation by Mr.. Hutton
that Attorney Delmas came to Sail
/ Lake to see his wife about the affair in
March last. Mrs. Hutton denies thai
it is true. The KuutsfOrd hotel regis
ter shows that Attorney Delmas was
in this city on March is last, but in
quiry at the hotel ELECTED the fact that
he had come I'm IN one train and gone
out on the next.
