DEFENDS PARENTS
Denies They Influenced
Her to Stay Away From
Husband
Mrs. Horner Says That Her Husband
Knows Why She Refuses
to Live With
(New York Herald.)

Mrs. T. Mitchell Horner left the
home of her sister, Mrs. Smith Hol-
lings McKim at Irvington on the Hud-
son, yesterday to go to Baltimore and
consult, her friends say, with her par
ents, DR.. and Mrs. Isaac E.. Emerson,
who, as has been told in the Herald,
have been sued by Mrs. Horner's hus-
band, who demands 81 600 for the
alleged alienation of his wife's affec-
tons.
While representatives of Mr.. Eor-
papers on her she has been
making her home in this city
most of the time in the Waldorf-As
toria. She left the hotel three days
g to visit her sister, Mrs. McKim.
Mrs. Horner has not discussed at
great length the causes that led up to
the trouble between her husband and
herself.
Although Mr.. and Mrs. Horner have
lived for the greater part of the ten
years of their married life in Atlanta.
Ga, and Baltimore, they are we'll
known in society in this city. Each Of
the sisters is known as a woman of
exceeding beauty. While they are de-
voted to each other, there Is little
similarity in their appearance. Mrs.
Mckim, who was not at her home
yesterday, and who is exceedingly 10th
to discuss the roubles that involve
her sisters domestic life, is indignant
at her brother-in-law for the suit
which he has instituted. To one Of
her NEST friends, just be-
fore she left New York, Mrs. Horner
said.
This suit which my husband has
brought against my parents is intend
II
trouble, although, perhaps, he fears
that some action might be taken by
me. 1t is true I have not seer him
since l left Atlanta last spring. 1t is
not true, however, that my parents
have influenced me in the slightest de-
gree in regard to the matter. My hus-
band o very we'll, and so do
most of our friends in Atlanta and in
Baltimore, why l have not returned
to him. I stood my troubles as long
as [ could and did not desire to bring
publicity upon Mr.. Horner or upon my
family. For that reason I took no ac-
tioE. 1t was a terrible thing for my
husband to bring action against my
parents but | am confident he will
never press the suit to a trial. If he
does tina the entire trouble between
us must become public"
I. Mitchell Horner is well known
along Broadway. To this his friends

ward days. when he was one Of the

ever been said in any to his
