BOTH HART Mixes
BLAMED BY EXPERT
French Court Official Favors
Granting Divorce Without
Dishonoring Families
Husband Is Scored for Temper
and Wife Perhaps Guilty
of Lack of Tact

PARIS, May THE legal expert of
the court presented his conclusion IN
the. Mckee divorce case today. His
finding was in favor Of granting a di-
vorce, holding both Mr.. and Mrs. Nc
Kee responsible. Formal judgment
will be rendered May II. The suit
was brought In thisusity by Mrs. Hart
Mckee. formerly Mrs Hugh Tevis- The
first hearing took place in March.
In presenting his conclusions the
legal expert retraced the history of the
Mckee marriage and described both
Mckee ana his wife as spoiled children
Of fortune" who had fallen desperately
in love with each other. Marriage the
day after his divorce was atonement
for whatever had occurred before mar
riage.
He said Mckee was a man OF uncon-
trollable temper, who always had been
interested In oceultism and magic: that
he had been guilty of great brutality
toward his wife. and that the repeated
scenes of violence had seriously af-
fected her health.
CONDEMNS HUSBAND
He strongly condemned the husbands
action after the application for divorce
had been filed in ~instituting an in
famous inquisition" among Mrs. Nc
KEGS servants, and he characterized
the public revelation of the contents Of
the wife's love letters as Mckee's 3
crowning outrage against a woman
whose principal fault was that she
loved him too much.
Nevertheless. the law expert con-
cluded, the charges that Mckee had
tried to starve his wife. maltreated her
child. stolen her Jewels, etc, had not
been substantiated.
AS for Mrs. Mckee, although she.
perhaps had been guilty OF lack OF
tact, the charges that she had had un-
lawful relations with her chauffeur
and an Italian nobleman had not been
proven. She did nothing serious4before
July, 1907, when her love seemed to
turn to hate, and she began malxing &
scandalous and unwarranted charges
against Mckee.
WOULD SPARE FAMILIES
In his final conclusion that the di-
vorce should be granted in favor of
neither the husband nor the wife, the
legal expert says such decision would
avoid dishonoring two families who
enjoy a good reputation in America,
and that it would also spare the chill
dren.
The expert found that the French
courts are competent to try the defama-
ton suit against Colonel Baxter. Mrs
McKee's father, which has grown out
of the. divorce case. but he declared
that neither Colonel Baxter nor his
wife was involved in the divorce issue
