Young Walker of Denver Will Not Marry Harriman'S Neice| Just at Present Says Dis carded Spouse.

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 7.-Haying read in the papers that Wilfred Wal ker of Denver, son of John Brisben Walker, had said that he was soon to marry a niece of E. H. Hartman, an agonized young woman here has come forward to forbid the bans, declaring that wilfred Walker Is a married man and that she herself is his lawful we'd ded wife.
 This Mrs. Wilfred Walker, now in Philadelphia, will be remembered un- der the name of Miss Beatrice Dill worth. This is her maiden name. which she used while taking the part of the brunette beauty in Anna Held's presentation of "Madamoeselle Napo- leon" She was also in the sparkling front row in When Jonny Comes Marching Home"
 In her anxiety to save Mir. Harri- mans niece from possible unp.easant consequences the sorrowing wife has written tart letter to David Strother Walker. John Brisben Walkers son, who was seated in the Thaw jury box, but next day excused from service.
 In part this letter says:
 My Dear Dave: see by Sundays paper that my husband is having everything his own way. Well this has got to stop-right here and now. If he is able to marry E. H. Harri- mans niece and support her, he is surely able to support me. which III make him do if I have to follow him to China. I am tired of trying to live on nothing.
 'I have stood for all am going to ct to marry him after I have told her what he is. she is welcome to him If see fit to divorce him. intend to have some support first from him.
 Now, Dave. you may be angry with noe on account of this step in tend taking, but I can't help that. have been played with as iong as I intend to be, so Wilfred Walker can expect to hear from his discarded wife any moment If he goes away l will advertise for his whereabouts. l do not mean to be put aside this time. do not want to talk with any lawyer; 1 win talk to you and my husband.
 Things have reached a climax, Dave. have, as you know, been very quiet. and have called on Will fred for nothing in the th:se years of my married life. If he had tried to help me I would have saiJ nothing, but he has neglected me entirely"
 Mrs. Walker says:
 q just knew it was going to be an unhappy marriage when Niifred Wal ker took me to the LiLt'a Church Around the Corner July 2. 1904. We had been engaged for a week then. Ild I thought I knew him veTy well; but I didn't-oh, I didn't,
 T had to leave him in eight days and go home to mamma in PToyi- dence Oh, it was awful Gu!ng the eight days. l have met him since, and he has come to see me. Once he gripped my throat and witl enc of his fingers pushed four fragments cut of place. Another time he slapped a paper out of my hands in g most spiteful way. and it was his Ws, to pinch me so it would leave 0 Ui.,ck and blue mark.
 He even held a razor in his hand All the worry has just made me Sick and I have suffered with nervous prostration. This summer I was at Lake George with it.
 Accounts that have been published regarding Wilfred Walkers announce ment of his engagement to Mir. liar riman's niece make it plain that 1t is not the usual society item. Young Mir. Walker had been in Denver for some time, and while he was there Mrs. Hazel de Remer was sued for di vorce. It came out that the hus bands mother had employed a wo man detective to accompany Mrs. de Remer wherever she went in her hUs bands absence. The woman sieuth's record book was introduced in evi | dence.
 Wilfred Walkers name was so Cf ten mentioned that the reporters called on him for an explanation. | was then that he said:
 aI don't know anything about it; I am engaged to marry E. H. HarTi mans niece"
 Mrs. Wilfred Walker explains 'ha in respect to her family tree she il | just exactly as good as the Walksr She is a direct descendant of Mar! l Queen of Scots.
