Scandalous Doings Charged in
Answer to Her Accusations
Against Husband.
PROMINENT MEN NAMED.
But LAWYER for Hart Mckee
in Paris Court, Fails to Offer
Proof of Allegations.

PARIS. March ls-MaitTs Labor TO-
day presented to the court the side OF
the husband in the divorce suit broosht
In this city by Mrs A. Har. Mckee
against Mr.. Mckee. The nrst hearing
OF the case took place March I when
Mrs Mckee, through counsel. described
certain alleged indignities to which she
had been subjected bv her husband.
To-day Maitre Labori made counter
charges u a most scandalous character
against the wife and declared that II
the court granted a divorce II should
pronounce In favor OF the defendant
and not in that OF the plaintiff.
Mrs. Mckee is q daughter of George
". Baxter. OF Tennessee. She was the
widow OF Hugh Tevis at the time Of
her marriage 10 Mr.. Mckee in Phila-
delph.a in January. 1908.
Ma.tre Labori declared that Mr.. Nc
Kee married Mrs. Tevis to save her
honor. lie mentioned also an Italian
marquis rs a correspondent.
A large crowd had packed the court
room In anticipation Of sensational dis
closures, and It was not disappointed.
Maitre Labor at the outset. COM
planned bitterly of the food of sccusa
tions against his client. witch which no
said the American press had been filed.
and he charged that they were inspired
by Col Baxter. Mrs. McKee's father.
and that their publication made recon-
citation Impossible.
The previous allegations OF Mr. Nc
KEGS cruelty 10 his wife and child ano
of mis- fragrant wrongio!ng were denied
ana then IN support OF the Cohtenli ION
that Mr.. Mckee should receive the de-
cree of divorce Maitre Laoori proceeded
10 describe Mrs. McKees alleged ca
reer while she was still Mrs. Tevis. He
coupled her name with tnat OF Lore
Roslyn. and also declared that she and
MIR NJ Kce were living together at
hotel two days after they met.
Continuing counsel for the husband
declared that his client had paid. Mrs
McKse's bill amounting, 20 Nd,o1
While she was In tie south OF Europe.
and TO dlsprove the charge OF parsi'
mony agaiuS, him he declared that
during a single month. Mr.. Mckee hau
spent s32o. On flowers, for his vile.
offered no proc OF Mrs McKee's mis-
conduct with Lord Roslyn. His al!e-
,!on was based on the fact that Mrs.
Mckee when she was Mrs. Tevis, and
Lord Roslyn stopped at the same hotel
in Folkestoue. In the case OF the
Italian Marquis no other proof was
submitted excep! mat MI; Mckee ;. saw :,
from a garden together.
