BURKE De ROCHE ACCUSES
FORMER WIFE OF B/GAMY

Newport, Nov. 6.-Charging that the
defendant has committed bigamy, Hon.
j. Burke Roche, formerly member of
the British parliament, had papers in
suit fer divorce served upon his
former wife, now Mrs. Aurel Batonyi,
wife of the famous society whip, who
Is known to the smart set as Count"
Probably this is the first time in
the history of the country that a wo-
man Of such social standing as Mrs.
Batoni has been sued for divorce on
these grounds.
The charge is that Mrs. Batonyi, who
obtained a decree of divorce from
Burke Roche in Delaware, married
Batonyi illegally. as the laws of Eng
land do not recognize such DEGREES
when granted in foreign country.
Mrs. Batonyi issued this statement
at her home:
II have been annoyed constantly. I
married in the United States, and after
a very unhappy marital experience
returned from England and obtained a
divorce in the United States many
years ago
CAS- ! am an American citizen, I
have nothing to do with laws outside
of the United States, am much an
noyed. Otherwise there is nothing to
say"
| Mrs. Batonyi is the daughter of
Frank Work, the aged New York mil
lionaire. with whom she had quarrel
In November, 1905, and left his house
| for few weeks, presumably because
she did not receive an adequate annual
allowance. She was reputed to be
spending $4,000 year on horses
alone. and extravaganza was regarded
as the cause of the family trouble. The
breach was bridged later
Mrs. Batonyi is the mother of Mrs.
Arthur S. Burden, formerly Cynthia
Roche. She is also sister of Mrs. Peter
Cooper Hewitt.
j. Burke Roche. who contends that
Mrs. Batonyi had no legal right to
marry her present husband. has long
been an exile in France. He had to
leave England because OF his connec-
ticn with the sale of torpedo boat
to the Russian government. His at
torneys in this country have instituted
the present proceedings. which I'M
doubtedly will create tremendous
stir in society circles here and in Eng
land. where the principals are very
we'll known.
Aurel Batonyi. one of Newport's fav-
orite whips for years, married Mrs.
Burke Roche, August 9. 1905. in the
Hotel Empire. The ceremony was evil
IDENTIFY secret, excepting for the pres
ence of Alderman Hamburger and two
witnesses. The bride took her divorce
papers with her to the hotel, but their
exhibition was unnecessary. Batonyi
and the bride disappeared after the
ceremony and society knew nothing
of it until long afterwari. 1t was
understood that her father disapproved
of the marriage and that he cut her of
in his will when he heard of it, which
was the same day that the public re-
ceived the news.

Dec. 26. appears the name v. Willer.
not Weller, together with that of H. v.
Wise.
Corporal Danna, a splendid speciman
OF the mounted police force, testified
that In his opinion the bullet found in
the head of the body, was that of a
revolver. He also made inquiries for
Weller, but had been unable to locate
him.
Much Of the time at this mornings
sittings was taken up with legal ar
gument for the admission of docu-
ments. showing numerous judgments
against the property of Martin Doyle.
Governor Atkin was called to tes-
tify that he had served notice on the
prisoner to produce the warrant deed
given by Weller to Martin Doyle, Jr.
The crown counsel stated he had
also served such notice on Mr.. Bon
mar. This the counsel for the defence
disputed. saying he had no recollection
OF ever receiving such notice. If,
however, Mr.. Potts would take an atfi-
davit he had served such q notice he
would consent to the admission of the
documents. This, the crown counsel
would not agree to do. as he consider
ing that in taking the witness stand
he would be debarred from addressing
the jury. His lordship did not think
such would be the result, but MIR. Potts
claimed 1t put him in an unfair position
to ask him to go in the box.
William B. Dickson, attorney-at
at Langdon. N. D., and former Can
adian resident and member of the
Ontario as we'll, was called on to give
evidence regarding tn eproving of a
registration Of judgment. He had ex-
amined the records to see if there were
judgments against Martin Doyle and
found such. A copy of which he pre-
scented to the court

When Batonyi and Mrs. Burke
Roche were married there was no
friend of the latter at the ceremony.
Her sister, Mrs. Peter Cooper Hewitt,
who loved her dearly, was not there,
because she did not like Batonyi, who
is said to be Hungarian. whose chief
claim to distinction was his dexterity
with the ribbons, which he exercised
when he drove the Good Times, the
Waldcrf-Astoria and other coaches,
some of which Reginald Vanderbilt
fooled.
1t is notable in this strange COM
plicaticn that Burke Roche has not be-
fore this time instituted proceedings.
When. last July, after Mr.. and Mrs
Batonyi sailed for Europe, the English
man was apprised in Paris of their
marriage. his feeling evidently was
one of deep satisfaction. He bore the
demeanor of man who was intensely
pleased to be fully I'd of marital en-
tanglements.

DOYLE MURDER CASE
GAINING IN INTEREST
Both Prosecution and Defense Strengthen Their Cases at
Saturdays Sitting Deposition Of Ernest Bailey Ruled
Out by Judge Richards Defending Counsel Said to be
Preparing Surprise.

Morden, Man.. Nov. Gas the trial
proceeds the Doyle murder case grows
more interesting. At to-day's sittings
the crown succeeded in Strengthening
Its case to some extent, but at the
same time the defense gained some
important points. 1t is understood the
defense will put in some sensational
evidence, having under cover a man
they claim was Doyle's companion in
Snowflake on the day of the supposed
murder. In general appearance he is
said to resemble Weller. What will
undoubtedly take away one of the
strongest links in the crowns chain
of circumstantial evidence Is their in
ability to introduce the deposition of
Ernest Bailey, the witness, who has
so mysteriously disappeared. The
crown submitted means of locating
Bailey, but his lordship expressed the
opinion that unless 1t could be proven
that the missing man is no longer in
Canada, he could not take his deposit
ton. In this connection Mr.. Bonnar
did not overlook the opportunity to
score the prosecution for failing to
take the precaution at the preliminary
trial to bind Bailey over to appear at
the present trial. He had not even
been sworn to appear.
The line of defense adopted by Mr..
Bonnar that the body of the man found
at Snowflake was not that of Vincent
Weller. was strengthened by state
ment made by Justice Thorgeson,
husky Swede, from the Dakota side,
who testified that the clothes found on
the body could not have been ex-
posed to the storms and thaws OF win
ter. and be in the comparatively good
condition they are now. Mr.. Thorge-
son was also Of the opinion that the
wolves would have been most likely
to have eaten any body which was left
in a wild ravine from Nov 20 to April
2. The disappearance of the overshoes
found on the body and which were in

severely commented on by the counsel
of the defence. 1t was quite notice.
able that the prisoner. who had a pale
and somewhat anxious appearance
since the trial opened, cheered up con-
siderably as possible points were made
in his favor.
Contradictory stories were intro
duced by the crown witnesses in re-
gard to what Doyle had said about the
place he had taken Weller to and of
his subsequent location.
To two Battleford men he had told
different stories. one that Weller was
In Montana and another he was at
Prince Albert.
In his cross-examination, Mr.. Bon
mar exhibited another part of his de-
fence BY producing the register Of the
