 there are many parallels to the Hartj case in Pittsburg, has been institute in the supreme court of Fairfield county by Henry J. Lord, wealthy residen of Trumbull, six miles from this city in which he accuses his wife of intimac, with their negro coachman, Henry Cam eron. Mrs. Lord was Augustina Eman uel, South Carolina beauty, who O, their marriage brought a considerabl, fortune to the one already owned b, her husband.
 The Lords are members of the Green field Hill Country club, have beer known throughout the state among tn, exclusive country homes of wealthy New Workers, and have exhibited $ string of thoroughbreds for several years. Their country home is one of the show places of Trumbull, which itself is a colony of rich people, Mrs. Lord is an exceedingly handsome wo- man and excels in horsemanship. l MT. Lord left his home three weeks ago, taking with him their 6-year-old daughter, Lucy Johnson Lord, their only child, and in his action for divorce he asks for the custody of the daughter.
 Negro Is Still Employed Mrs. Lord occupies the handsome country residence at Trumbull alone, with the household servants, and Cam eron, the correspondent, presides over the stable, in which there are many grooms.
 The filing of the divorce action brings to head the gossip of the clubhouses of the neighborhood and of the drawing rooms, in which, since last March, the names of the beautiful society woman and the coaehman have been linked. The case resembled the Hartie case in more respects than in having a negro named as correspondent. As in the Hartje case, the friends of husband and wife have taken sides, and considerable bitterness has arisen. This is especially true in the several country clubs of which husband and wife were members.
 So high did the feeling run in the immediate neighborhood of the Lord home this afternoon when it was under stood that the action had been filed that there were threats of lynching the negro correspondent. These threats did not materialize in even mild form, how ever, and the coachman was allowed to go and come from the Lord home with out molestation.
 He is described as being tall and broad shouldered, exceedingly neat in personal appearance and about 30 years old. He is well known in the district because he has at various times been in the employ of neighbors, and was es- teemed because of his knowledge of horses. He is light mulatto, and holds aloot from the negroes of the neighbor- hood.
 Scandal in Neighborhood
 Henry J. Lord charges that his wife has been intimate with the coachman since March 10 last. The scandal of the intimate relations between wife and coachman were talked of in the neigh borhood even before that date.
 At one of the recent fairs of the Greenfield Hill Country club there was considerable opposition to Cameron's entry as driver in one of the exhibi- tion events, but eventually he was al. low,d to drive. 1t was thought by those who opposed him that too deter minel stand might cause storm to break, which all have been fearing for some time.
 ford is said to have been so wrought up over his suspicious that he determined to shoot both Mrs. Lord and Cameron. His intimate friends, among whom the trouble was understood, per. suaded him that such step would do no good, and accomplish only the bring ing of disgrace on the head of his little daughter, of whom he is very fond They advised that instead he satisfy himself with civil action.
 It is fact that during the annual horse show at the Greenfield Hill Coun- try club Mrs. Lord and the negro coach man drove back and forth to the | grounds daily in each other s company, and that on occasions of the purchase l of new horses to add to the string she always asked the advice of the negro and had him look on as a prospective purchaser.
 Wife Has Many Partisans
