/ by his wife, but after deponent was some
| what recovered he was informed by his
| counsel that a proposition had been sub
mitted by Mr.. Solely in the following
words: That if the plaintiff was permit
ted to obtain a decree of absolute divorce
and if deponent would consent to her
| receiving $4,000 out of the attached sec
uriteis the plaintiff would consent to the
vacating of the attachments and the de-
ponent would be at liberty to take the
balance, amounting to over $4,000
''Deponent being weak i'll and seriously
| embarrassed financially, his counsel in
| formed him that he would require a fee
of $500 to defend the two actions, but
that if he would consent to an agreement
proposed by Mr. Solely the other side
would pay the whole suf, with the eXcep-
| ton of 500
Doeme then goes on to say that he
accepted this proposition and that at
| the trial and in his answer TO the COM
plant he said that he and Nine. Nordica
were residents of the state of New York
| which was not true and on the hearing
before the refree he failed to produce
eveidence which was in his possession
and which would have disproved the
! charges brought against him by his wife
He adds that his physical and mental
| condition and impecuniosity compelled
him to do so.
Attached to the moving papers is an
affidavit which contains an instrument
which was signed by Herr Doeme after
the several suits were settled and the
divorce was granted. One pertinent SEN
tence in this affidavit reads:
Il now depose and say that the settle
ment had no relation to the said divorce
proceedings or to the interlocutory de-
cree obtained therein
Herr Doeme then goes on to tell of the
alleged flmsy character of the evidence
adduced against him on the trial and
upon which the decree of divorce was
granted. He points out that one of the
witnesses was Romano Simmons, who
is Nine. Nordica's accompanist and was
with her during the tours of 1885, 1889 and
1900 and who said that on one occasion
Doeme obtained the keys of his apart
ments in the Alpine for the purpose of
meeting women there and that name of
the name of Barker, who was Simmons
valet, testified that while they were living
in Munich. Bavaria, he saw Doeme and
good-looking servant girl named Laura
iP the woods near Munich and that he
thereupon fired a revolver in the air. He
swore that Doeme and the girl then ran
into the underbrush.
Doeme swears that he has ample evei-
dence to disprove these charges.
Nine Nordca is at present living at
No. 121 Madison avenue. She declined to
see newspaper reporters, but Mr.. Sim
mons, speaking for her, said that Nine.
Nordica did not wish to be discourteous
to the members of the press, but she real
ly did not care to say anything at all
about the matter. She referred all in
quiries to Mr.. Solely, her counsel. Mr..
Solely, however, declined to discuss the
matter in any way.
George G.. Hastings counsel for Herr
Doeme, also declined to talk further than
to say 1.-The papers speak for themselves"
Edward Lauterbach. when seen about
the matter, said: Il am still Herr
Doeme's counsel and cannot talk
When asked about the $500 incident
he replied: "All | received was the 500;
the rest have never got, even though the
impressed money was released. Further
more, all that L ever received was not
only upon Herr Doeme's stipulation, but
at his insistence.
Herr Doeme is Nine. Nordica's second
husband. her first having been Frederick
A. Cover. wealthy electrician, whom
she married in Paris in 1892. He is sup
posed to have lost his life some five
years later, while attempting to cross
the English channel in Il ballon. Herr
Doeme and Nine. Nordica were married
in Indianapolis on May %. 1897.
