CONSPIRACY IS
W|FE'S CHARGE
Mrs. Carey Says Che 10 Victim Of q
Plot.

Pittsburg, Pa. Jan. ST have been
the victim Of conspiracy. Time will
tell who is right"
Mrs. Laura Corey broke silence for
the second time since coming to Pitts
burg. with this sentence today.
Some days ago friend of Mrs. Cor
ey issued a statement in effect that
her husband had called her to go to
New York: that she would go and talk
with him, but not on lines toward a
reconciliation but today was the first
time she came out boldly with state
ment bearing on the troubles between
herself and her husband and her one
remark, while short, was full Of mean
ing.
Il have been the victim Of a con-
spiracy." she said.
The conversation held with Mrs.
Corey by newspaper man took place
in the little sitting room OF the home
of Alfred A. Corey. father of the head
of the United States steel corporation.
1t would appear that the elder Grey.
angered decided to take matters in
his own hands. and so today he piloted
a reporter into the presence OF his
daughter in law and requested that
she talk little-"just enough to let
the public know that she had side in
this case"
Mrs. Corey declined absolutely to
say when she would now go to New
York and left the impression that in
some way, the New York visit had been
called off.
MRS Corey. your husband. in a pub
lie statement made some weeks ago,
said that there had arisen between you
and himself irreconcilable differences.
Since that time the reading public has
been anxious to know your side OF the
case" was said to her.
Il have been the victim of a con-
spiracy. that's ALL" said Mrs. Corey
with heaving BOSOM as a flush stole
over her features. "A conspiracy.
do not care to speak about the state
ment which has been mentioned. Really
1t would seem that my family troubles
should not be considered the business
Of the public"
""The conspiracy to which you re-
ing you from your husband?" was sug-
gested.
Il would rather be excused from
talking on this now" said the wife Of
the steel king. with one Of her sad
smiles. and the interview was at an
end. tu
Miss Mabelle Gilman. who in Paris
some days ago gave out a biting in
terview on "Unattractive Wives of
Pittsburg MilliOnaires,' evidently has
not seen Mrs. Corey lately. Mrs. Corey
IL not in the class Of "unattractive
women"
On the other hand although suffer-
ing greatly from worry over her po-
sition, she Is sweet and attractive, most
lady-like at all times.
The boudoir scene from Paris, in
which Miss Gilman is seen reclining on
a divan with great Oil painting OF
w. f. Corey beside her. Ia admitted by
friends Of Mrs. Corey to play some part
in the conspiracy.
Mrs. Corey has told her friends that
she intends making an early move tc
reveal the nature of the conspiracy
through which she believes she has
been wronged. 1t Is believed that she
thinks others are much more to blame
than her husband. and when she gets
ready to take action 1t is said that
1t would not be surprising If the
GROWING sensation should come from
quarter quite unexpected.
"The Corey case has really only be-
gum" said close friend of Mrs. Corey
tonight. There will likely be some
Developments soon which will astounc
the country"
