these words:
1T is all the result Of a conspiracy
to depose me as president of thesNew
York Greek Athens society, a char
liable organization. Ambitious persons
have worked upon the mind of my wife
and inspired her with jealousy. She is
naturally suspicious, and has been led
by fnsinuations against me-,
This incident was followed on July
"a, 1893, by the application of Mrs.
Vlasto in the supreme court, for a legal
Eseparation, Colonel Robert G. Ingersoll
being her counsel. A subsequent appli-
cation was made for alimony and
counsel fee, Mrs. Vlasto alleging that
her husband had used her cruelty and
neglected to support her.

the home of Senator Clark for the last
year and has been on an equal foot
ing in the house of his son-in-law, DR..
Culver.
When the suit for divorce was begun
against DR.. Culver, Henry G. Atwater,
counsel for Mrs. Culver, said:

NAL. The taking OF evidence will be
the suit should be decided within the
next month or so. All the proof is not
