Green. counsel for Nettie Alderdice. for
an order compelling her husband, Alfred
s. Alderdlce, to pay to her a reason
able amount OF alimouy and counsel
fees pending the determination of her
suit for divorce.
The plaintiff charged that her husband
had been guilty OF improper conduct.
Alderdlce, who Is connecscs with a large
linen-importing house. denies the charge
and his counsel. Emanuel Friend, sub
mitted to the oCurt a long ffidavit in
which the defendant told of his hid
eous nightmare OF a married life" He
said:

some eight or ten weeks ago, because

In the hopes that she might be cured
the defendant says he had at different

He says that the whole thing Is a
matter OF great humiliation to him AID
that he has nothing but sorrow and
pity for his wife. He says he Is WILL

Her Counsel Declares She Needs
1t as Well as Additional Coun.
sci Fees Because of Her Hus-
bands Appeal in Divorce Case

Mrs, Nancy Rich. through her coun-
sci. A. II. Hummel. applied to Justice
Blanchard. in the Supreme Court, to-
day, for an increase of alimony and
counse fees to defend the appeal OF
her husband, William N. Rich. who has
carried to the Appellate Division his
action for an absolute divorce. whica
was tried before Justice Scott and Q
jury last spring and decided in the wife's
favor.
The troubles OF the Rich family have
been before tho Supreme Court for
some months. Mrs. Rich brought suit
for a separation on the ground of cruel
and inhuman treatment and her hus-
band retallated with a suit for abso-
lutte divorce, naming as correspondent q
young man who had been visiting Mrs
Rich's daughter by a former husband.
Arguing Ii Motion.
In arguing the motion to-day Mr..
Hummel said that Justice Davis had set
alimony at $50 per week and up to that
time the couple had lived together in the
apartment-house at No. 81 East Seventy
fourth street. but after the alimony had
been awarded Mr.. Rich moved to q
cheaper apartment hotel.
at is KNOWN declared Mr.. Hummsl.
that Rich had up TO that time spent
from 81, 900 to $40. 900 a ear on his fam
lily and that the move to cheaper quar-
tiers was for the purpose of h%umiHatIng
Mrs. Rich. who is a refined woman and
has been used to living at the best
apartment-houses."
Mr.. Hummel also said that Rich was
taking his twelve-year-old son out
nights, and had also taken him to the
race track trying to make a tout Of
him."
In Opposition.
Richard IT. Green, counsel for Mr.
Rich. said that the Court had ordered
his client to pay to his wife $50 psr
week, but the order did not state THAI
he must clothe her n furnish her with
n home and provide food for her ana
her daughter. But we have done oil
