Husband of Former Wash
ington Belle Gets Decree
In New York.

POUGHKEEPSIE. n. Y. March 16.-
"A divorce case around which much Sc
Crecy was thrown has been decided by
Supreme Court Justice Tompkins in IA
vor Of the plaintiff, r. II. Cathcart. jr.,
a wealthy Newburg man who was
granted an interlOcutOry decree from
his wife. Alma Marie Cathcart.
The CaLhcarts were married in Wash

quently removed to Newburg. The tes-
timony in the case was sealed by order
Of the court.
3 The romance involving Alma Won
Haake Cathcart. R. H Cathcart. jr.,
and Earl W. Pritchard. formerly mid
shipman in the navy, has attracted much
attention recently, That a divorce was
. contemplated by the young husband

in Washington. and now that IL has
been granted. curiosity is strong as 10
the future OF the former Alma Won
IHaake and young PritchdTd.
The latter was dismissed from the
navy December 3 last because or his
part i'm the marital difficulties Of the
. Cathcarts, and since that time the
whereabouts Of neither the former mid
shipman nor Mrs CathcarJ has been
known except 70 their most intimate
friends.
When Alma Won Haake married young
Cathcart IL was known that strong
friendship at least existed between her
self and Pritchard. After the marriage
Pritchard appeared in Newburg, n. Y,
where the Cathcarts lived, and renewed
the friendship. Whether this proved dis
tasteful TO the young husband or not,
II ~ known that trouble arose between
CathCart and his wife.
After having become reconciled, Cath
cart stood in a railway station one day
waiting for his wife TO return from a
telephone booth. where she had gone
TO send a MESA &c. Mrs. CathCart did
not return. but took a train out Of the
city. PTitchard left about the same
time. The couple were heard from in
various cities, and recently, at the time
the announcement was made that young
Cathcart contemplated divorce proceed
ings, il was reported that PTitchard had
deserted the former Washington belle
in Ohio.
