EXPORT READY To
AIR SCANDALS

NEWPORT, Jan. 25.-Three sensa-
tionaI divorce cases are to be tried
here during the coming Supreme Court
session. They are of especial inter
est owing to the social prominence of
the women who are petitioners.
One is Mrs Glen Collins. another
Mrs. Charles Hall, and the third Mrs.
w. r. Garrison of Tuxedo and New
York City, who was Miss Constance
C. Coudert. Mrs. Collins was Miss
Nathalie Schenck, whose marriage,
supposedly brilliant. to Captain Glen
Collins, was a feature of the ultra
fashionable set not many months ago.
Their voyage to Honolulu, with a
specially provided milch cow, created
the wife of Major Charles Hall, for
merly Miss May Brady. daughter Of
the late Judge K. James T. Brady, a
widely known jurist.
The most interesting case from a le-
gal viewpoint is that of Mrs. Estes. AS
Miss Henriette Van de We're she married
Benjamin Estes of Fall River. a bril-
liant civil war leader and socially prom
inent. They separated and Estes re-
married without the formality of a di-
vorce The bigamy and divorce pro-
ceedings instituted by the first, wife
were strangely discontinued. Estes left
his second wife and went to San Fran
cisco in 1899 to live. He was badly in
jured in the San Francisco earthquake
and died at Fall River, leaving his
property to his nephew. The first wife
now petitions to have his late divorce
from her set aside and the nephew COM
PEELED to return Estes estate to herself
and her son.

CHORUS GIRL IS
FLIPPANT IN
COURT
San Francisco Counsel for
Thaw to Withdraw Unless
She Is Kept From Trial
DEFENDANTS WIFE
WILL ASK DIVORCE
Whether He Is Acquitted or
Convicted, She Will De
mand Freedom From Bond

NEW YORK, Jan. Is
In addition to the rift within
the ranks of. the Thaw fam
ilv, due to Mae Mackenzie.
there has occurred a dissen-
sion among the counsel for
the defense regarding her,
and unless it is smoothed out
it may result in the with
drawal of D. n. Delmas from
the case.
It has been noticeable
that the constant presence of
the former chorus girl in
court has been productive of
anything but pleasure to
others on the side OF the
defense than young Mrs.
Thaw. The conduct Of the
young woman has made her
a subject of varied comment.
some protesting the belief
that her apparent light
heartedness and indifference
have a beneficial effect,
while others openly express
the fear that they can but
be prejudicial to the defend
ant.
Although it was not pos
sible to obtain absolute con-
frmation, it is known that
Delmas, at the Yale Club,
where he is making his
| home, said only a few even
ings ago that unless Miss
Mackenzie were kept away
from the courtroom he
would retire from the case.
Pressed for explanations as
to his attitude in the matter,
he was disinclined to discuss
it, but his friends insist that
he is firm in his intention and
that he will put his threat
into execution unless his
wishes are carried out.
The young woman has
been Mrs. Harry Thaw's
constant companion since
the night of the shooting Of
Stanford White. In fact, it
is said she has been under
salary from the young wife
to act as her companion
how much with the consent
of the Thaw family it is dificult to
determine.
However that may be- Mae Mackenzie
has been Evelyn Nesbit Thaw's regular
associate and they have not been sepa-
rated since Thaw has been a prisoner in
the Tombs. The chorus girl moved to
the Hotel Lorraine and took up her resi-
dence with her friend. It is certain
that this friendship has not been entire
ly pleasing to the Thaws. and their at
tituds has been more or less reflected In
court.
LOOKS COLDLY AT WIFE
Harry Thaw stepped to the side OF his
mother when court adjourned today,
threw his arm around her shoulder, and.
after kissing her affectionately. whis-
pered something to her that appeared
to affect her deeply. She drew his head
on her shoulder and whispered In his
ear a reply that caused him to smile
cheerfully. and, kissing her again. he
walked rapidly after the deputy sheriff
r who was charged with seeing that he
was taken safely back to the Tombs.
Thaw cast no look at his wife and
apparently did not recognize the fact
