WINS DIVORCE,
BLOCKS SUIT
Mrs. Batonyi the Victor 10
Legal Fight
SEALED VERDICT TO-DAY
Her Husband Had Also Sued Several
People for Alienation of Aztec
tions, Claiming Enormous
Damages.

New York, Oct. 20.--The sealed YER
diet Of the jury in the suit of Frances
Work Batonyi for absolute divorce from
Aureal Batonyi was opened in Supreme
Court Justice O'Gorman's court to-day.
1t awards divorce to Mrs. Batonyi,
finding that Batonyi was guilty Of mis-
conduct with Margaret Allen, but the
accusation Of misconduct with Beatrice
Breyaine, the fencing girl. was not prov
en- to the satisfaction of the jury.
The decision will block the suit for
s5Oo,oOO damages against the million
aire Frank Work, father Of Mra Ba-
tonyi, and others for the alienation Of
affections Of the wife. The case was
given to the jury yesterday afternoon
at 3;l5 o'clock, and when verdict had
not been returned at 5:45, the jury was
notified to return a sealed verdict to be
announced to-day on the opening Of
court.
The defendant had been the last wit
ness on the stand, to deny the charges
Of misconduct. He denied his wife's al
legations in toto, branded them as lies,
said he was bounded by detectives, and
accused his wife's relatives and Others
of alternating her affections in connection
with which he has suit for damages
pending.
Mrs Batonyi was in court all day, but
no sign Of recognition passed between
her and the man she was suing for abso-
lutte divorce. Batonyi in previous pro
ceedings won his suit for separation, and
they have been living apart since.

Mrs. Batonyi's lawyer brought out some
new sidelights on the case yesterday.

BULLET BESIDE BODY.
But There Was No Pistol, SO Murder
Is Suspected

New York Oct. 20. Around the
bleached skeleton Of a young woman,
which was found in clump Of woods
Monday they are weaving mystery
down at Islip, Long Island, which may
or may not be a murder Of more than
passing interest. Evidence was discov-
cred yesterday which seems to indicate
that the girl was shot.
A bullet found on The ground close To
where the body had lain, was the first
clue, and later examination showed a
bullet hole in the skull at the roof Of
the mouth. No weapon was found near
the bones although trinkets and person
al effects Of the victim lay there undis-
turbed.
These trinkets, It is believed, will
make the ultimate identification Of the
girl comparatively simple matter. A
number Of articles of iewelry, including
a gold watch with the initials "a. L."
a gold bracelet, gold neck chain with
pearl pendant, silver thimble and a
pair Of scissors were picked up near the
skeleton while several articles OF for
eign made clothing, a bill for goods sold
at delieatessen store in Krebel, Prus-
sia, and folder of transatlantic
steamship company found beneath il led
to the belief that the young woman had
recently come to this country from
abroad.
Judging by the condition of the
skeleton the murder or suicide occurred
about year ago. The victim, according
to the coroner, was Of average height,
about 24 years old and blonde. Part
Of the hair has been found. An effort
was made yesterday to identity the girl
as Miss May Smith, nurse in the Man
haitian hospital at Islip. Miss Smith,
who has been missing since last spring
was believed to be the fiancee of August
Schwartz, who is now in Jail at River.
