Only Asks $1,5OO,0O0.
Claims Her Father, Frank Worth,
Is Cause Of Trouble.
Declares He will Expose Secrets
Of Newport Fashionable Life.

New York. Jan. 26.-SenSational ex-
posures Of conditions prevailing in the
fashionable set in Newport will come
to light. according to Aurel Batonyi,
when his suits for s1,50O.G00, charging
alienation of the affections of his Wife,
Mrs. Burke-Roche Batonyi. heiress to
SIS, OO0, 900, and the daughter of Frank
Worth. are heard.

Work, Frank H. Sturgis and MIR. and
Mrs, Peter Cooper Hewitt with con-
spiracy to deprive him of his wife.
Suits are also instituted separately
against Frank Worth and against
Frank H. Sturgis. as arch-conspirators
In each of the three actions he makes
claim for $5O0.000 damages.
Former Judge Olcott, counsel for the
leading defendants, characterizes Ba-
tonyi's complaints as the most amaz-
ing legal documents he has ever read
He said:
1.-THE charges concerning my clients
scarcely appear credible. 1t does not
seem as if they could be made against
any human being.
Ratonyi has said that he does nc;
believe his wife acted upon her own
volition IN seeking a divorce. He
thinks she was influenced by his enc
mics. and insists his life with her at
Newport was made as miserable as
possible by these enemies.
Mrs. Batonyi has been one of the
most talked about women in Amer
lean society. AS daughter of Frank
| Work and heiress to SIS. 900, 900, she was
one of the most prominent of debu-
| tantec. At that time she was allowed
an income of 100000, and was credited
with spending twice that amount. Her
income was greatly reduced when she
married Burke Roche in opposition To
her fathers wishes, but was restored
when she secured a divorce, on which
Burke Roche is now casting legal
doubts. bringing suit himself for dl-
| VorCe from her.
Batonyi met Mrs Burke Roche wher
he was employed to train her sho"
horses. which she kept at her father
magnificent home at Newport. TEei'
marriage, which was kept secret FOL
nearly q year, amazed society.
Then Mrs. Batonyi. after n serou:
quarrel with her father. left his home
and lived with Batonyi on small farm
