IN its report Of the Barney suicide,
says:
Had Charles T. Barney lived, he
would have found himself the center
Of another sensation apart from fl.
nance. Within a comparatively short
time Mrs. Barney expected to be
awarded decree-o divorce. It would
have been an undefended action, be-

man in the case would never have
been gained from any Of the, parties to
the case. The suit for divorce is end.

tnnces could only repeat history In.
stead of making prophecy.
Mrs. Charles T. Barney endured an
unpleasant situation for years. until
her two daughters were married: then
she had recourse to the law. Although
her husbands fondness for another
woman was known and without partic.
ular concealnent. the wife made no
sign in the determination that her
daughters should not be launched in
society with the cloud over the house

determination.

Mr.. Barneys preference for the other
woman became more generally known.
Miss Katharine Barney was intro.
