Old Lover Reappears.
Meyer who is seeking also TO obtain
the custody OF his daughter, married Miss
Flora Howard in Trinity Church in 1898,
and according to his affi1avt lived happ ! :
until late IN 1904. At that time William
r. Jameson, TO whom Mrs. Meyer had
once been betrothed. became a s. uGent In
the Post Graduate Hospital Of this city.
Mrs. Meyer met him by chance. says
Meyer, and from that time her demeanor
changed. Finally he taxed her with car
ing for Jameson.
Il love him with all my heart and soul. =
Mrs. Meyer is alleged to have replied,
but will do my best to forget him

Meyer noticed that his wife was still
unhappy. and finally stopped her one day
as she was mailing letter. He says It

asked him if she should join him there.
Meyer permitted the letter to be posted.
In due time te1e- raphic reply came

Jameson Drops Out.
Following this. Meyer said he wrote to
Jameson that he would 90 to Mexico ana
demand personal satisfaction if Jameson
ever wrote to his wife again. A letter
came from Mexico in reply to this. in
which Jameson promised that he would
communicate with Mrs. Meyer no more.
Enclosed was a letter addressed to her
which Jameson said would render it i'm
possible for her to write to him again.
1t was effective. for their correspondence
ceased. although Mrs. Meyer often told
her husband that Jameson was the only
man in the world she cared for.
The final chapter in their unusual mat
rimOnial troubles came to the Meyers In
1907, when Mrs Meyer went to Europe.
She met Kip on the ship while crossing.
according to Meyer, and he later learned
that the artist had been attentive to her
while there.
She returned after two months. and re-
manned at home until lat December.

When he accused her of wishing to meet
Kip she denied it. -
Wants to Be Artists Model.
Mrs. Meyer sailed from Boston Decem-
Der last. A few days afterward her
irother Van Straubenze Howard. In
formed Meyer according to his affidavit,
that Kip had sailed on the same steam
ship.
January IL Meyer received a letter from
his wife in which she said she had de-
termined to remain in Paris where the
letter was dated. to earn her living as an
artists model Kip having offered her a
situation.
Meyer did not see his wife until August
II last. when her brother induced him to
allow her to visit him at his Office. There
she urged him to take her back again.
but he refused saying that she might oc-
casionally visit her daughter.
Mrs. Meyer. according to her husband,
then became hysterical and told him that
Kip had refused to help her, and that she
was going to Cedarhurst Long Island, to
kill him. For this reason he placed her
under the surveillance OF private de-
tective. permitting her later to occupy his
abandoned home in South Orange.
The case will be continued Thursday.

court. She was not there yesterday, but
