Henry q. Atwater. Mr. Atwater. at his
home, in East Orange, last night said:
As a matter Of fact, Vlasto and his wife
had separated before Vlasto ever met Mrs.
Culver. so Mrs. Culver could not have alien
ated his affections. Mr.. Vlasto called on
the Culvers often. He was friend princi-
pally of DR.. Culver, but was a friend Of
both DR.. and Mrs Culver for two or three
years. | understand that the ylastos
separated about six years ago."

his wife. He said that, while he spends

of Greece, and is now candidate for the
National Assembly from the Fifteenth
ward of the city of Athens. He said that
he has political enemies in Greece who
have inspired his wife to begin this action.

Culver.
