MADDEN DIVORCE CASE
ATTRACTS ATTENTION

Lexington, KY, July 17-When the
divorce case OF John E Madden, not
ed as turfman from the Atlantic to
the Pacific Coast, against his wife,
Anna Megrue Madden, comes to trial
in few weeks it is expected that the
details will fairly sizzle.
At least the allegations in the peti-
Ition are full OF promise.
Madam states that an agreement
was entered into between him and his
wife that they should not make their
marriage known for several months
thereafter, she to be known by her
maiden name of Anna Louise Me
grue.. L.,
The follows the allegation that
Trainer Albert Simons and his wife
Laura acted as "go-betweenS" for Mrs.
Madden and L. V. Bell, prominent
New York turiman, arranging meet
ling places for the two.
Bell, Madden alleges, is man Of
|notoriously bad repute, whose attenr
|tion to any woman would asperse
|her character. Madden states that
when he heard of his wife's relations
with Bell he was shocked, and re-
|monstrated, whereupon she deserted
him and engaged rooms at Endicott
Hotel, in New York, and with the
|connivaiice of her father and brother
took secret and forcible possession Of
their two sons, Edward and Joseph.
Madden states further that his wife's
divorce proceedings 4~ in Cincinnati,
which was her old home, were false
and fraudulent, and that he believes
his wife has continued intimate social
relationship with Bell and the ST.
mons. ..stt g,z's r sts%.gz .sI&5&-.
Then comes a queer allegation
wherein Madden asserts that Jos Me-
grue, his wife's father is a Spirit
ualist. and induced Mrs. Madden to call
on the spirits Of the dead, asking in
formation as to whether Madden ever
really loved her, and was true to her.
Megrue, the petition claims, is d
man without visible means of support,
and is unable to support Mrs. Madden
and their children, and that while
Mrs. Megrue, Mrs. Madden's mother,
was alive he became fascinated with
one Minnie Baher, which caused his
wife to commit suicide.
Then Megrue, Madden asserts, mar
ried Minnie Baher and placed her in
the position Of mother and guide to
his, Madden's, future wife.
Madden charges that his wife has re-
peatedly taken their children to the
Megrue home, where they have been
allowed to associate with Mrs. Megrue,
and that she is endeavoring to obtain
possession of the children in order to-
make the Megrue home theirs for life.
Such home, states Madden, would be
the r,lnination for life Of both his vile
and their children.
Mrs. Madden, Madden asserts, was
we'll aware Of the hostility of Bell
and Silnoris towards him, hostility of
a character so intense as to make them
eager to not only destroy his domestic
happiness but TO ifnpoverish him and
wreck his estate.
Attorney Dickson for Mrs. Madden,
ridicules the husbands charges. He
says that Mrs Madden's associations
with Bell have not been any more in-
innate than with Freddie Gebard, the
Whitneys, the Hitchcocls. or any.
prominent eastern race horse people.
According to his own statement,
Madden Is worth 100000. Mrs. Mad
den is now IL At her fathers home III
