Mrs Golding was in court during the
argument and sat watching MIR. Wise. She
smiled at his denunciation and even depre-
rated the action OF Lawyer Poener, who
arose TO protest. Mr.. Wise wound up
with a request that the Court should send
he pa pers to the Grand Jury.
The papers submitted show that when
the har times came on in Oct ober Golding
sought personal interview with his wife
in Tse's Office. at which il was agreed that
for four months the alimony payments
could be ctit down 10 5000 a month. on the
understanding that Golding was to make
ND the difference later. But instead OF

she has received but 81 900. In conse-
ouenCe. Mrs. Golding says, she has been
compelled to run up bills at various Pile ces

her for money after the temporary reduo-

81 600 would be fair compensation, which
he was willing to take in monthly payments.
She replied by letter asking Wise why
he did not get court order for his counsel
fee and compel Golding TO pay him. Wise
replied that he was asking for money only
10 meet the demands Of physicians and
detectives employed in the divorce case
and that he would instruct them to sue
her if she didn't care to pay up, and would
lao he glad to relinquish all care of her
litigation as soon as she paid his fees.
Mrs. Golding then requested him to

H. A. Wise insisted yesterday that until
his 81, 900 fee was paid he was not obliged
10 turn over the papers in the salt. In
reply Mr.. Posner maintained that the

selves and were therefore obliged to turn
over all papers to their client against whom
their only relief was suit for the value of
their services. ''
