VALET GIVING TESTIMONY
SUIT FOR ABSOLUTE DIVORCE
ON STATUTORY GROUNDS.

New York. April SS.-David NC
Clure, the referee appointed TO nee .GI
the case of Mrs. Alfred q. Vanuei On /, l
who has brought an action oeheveu -
be for absolute divorce, mas Oesu hi
taking the evidence. The hrst WI
ness called before the reteree Wa
Howard Kempster, VINO was tHe '1 nc
of Cornelius Vanderbilt and who be-
came valet for Alfred G. NanderDllI
when the latter became the head OF
the family upon his fathers death. He
testified at some length yesterday,
and was expected to be on the witness
stand again today. but as the hearings
are conducted behind closed doors, the
nature of his evidence is matter or
conjecture.
Something More Than Valet.
If is said that Kempster has en-
loved a position with Mr.. Vanderbilt
considerably more confidential than
that of the ordinary valet, and the
fact that he was left behind as Wit
ness when his employer sailed for Eu-
rome is taken to indicate the taking
of the evidence will proceed rapidly
and that the hearings viii reach an
early conclusion. This is said to be in
accordance with the wishes of all con-
cerned, including the immediate rela-
No member of the Vanderbilt fami-
ly has yet attended the hearing, but it
is believed that Mrs. Alfred g. Van
derbilt will be called to testify to the
date of her marriage. This is expected
to be the extent of her testimony.
Custody of Little Son.
The custody of the 6-year-old son
of Mr.. and Mrs Vanderbilt is expected
to be one of the questions which the
referee viii have to decide. 1t is I'M
derstood that Mrs. Vanderbilt insists
that the child be left in her charge,
subject to such restrictions in the
matter of paternal visits as the court
may see fit to impose.
The principal question at issue is
said to be the amount of alimOny TO
be paid by Mr. Vanderbilt. 1t is re-
ported thai Mr.. Vanderbilt has con-
scented TO the payment of a lump sum
of 81 500 600, and that if this is ac-
cepted as satisfactory his defense will
be of a passive character, but that if
il be rejected the action will be ac-
lively contested.
The ground upon which Mrs. Van
derbilt's suit is brought has not been
made public. In that connection it is
said that Mrs. Vanderbilt might have
brought action for divorce in Rhode
Island, where she was living. upon
any one of several grounds. Any ac-
ton for divorce in New York must be
based upon the statutory cause.

An officer who was an eyewitness

following account of the accident:
The first we knew that ANYTHING

supposed to be a gun. In reality. how

from the sea water reaching the boil
