OF lnnmorality-Her Counsel VIII
Only Say That the suit Ii Tor Afieua-
tlon Of Her Husbands Anections.
Nine. Emma Eames's. friends in this
city were looking for her yesterday to
hear her side Of the suit that has been
begun against her by Mrs. Elsa DO Cor
goxa, wife Of the barytone. Emilio de
0orgoza, for the alienation Of de Cor
eosas affections. After the papers had
been served on Nine. EAmes at the Hotel
Bellevue -Stratford, In Philadelphia on
Friday night she left 80 it was said. for
this oity Her friends could get no trace
u her IN New York.
Her mother. Mrs. Emma 81. Eames, who
lisee at iee East Sixty second street, sad
that she didn't know whether Nine.
EAmos was in the city or not. and at the
Hotel Astor. where Nine. Eames has
apartments, II was said that she hadn Z
been seen. In short. II Nine. Easnes was
In New York she wasn't seeking an OPP
portunity to make statement in regard
to the De Goreoza suit.
Nine. de Gorgoza herself however,
made it plain thnt she doesn't charge
anything immoral between her husband
and Nine. Eames. II vas merely case
OF the barytone's affections being stolen
away, 90 she said. while he was under q
platonic spell Nine. Eames by her charm
of mind and manner had allured the
affections Of the barytone away from his
wife. Several lawyers who heard Of this
cause OF action were inclined to be coop
tical. 1t seemed to them that it amounted
practically to a case OF Nine. Eames be-
ing sued for being beautiful and fine
singer. At least, in the opinion Of lawyers
this question of soul mate" in purely
artistic sense will open up great unex-
plored field for expert witnesses.
Recent statements have been attributed
to Nine. Eames herself in regard TO this
alleged artistic affinity or whatever you
call it between herself and De Gorgoza.
She is said to have remarked that she and
Do Gorgoza had found that in singing to-
gether they seemed to call out each other 3
best powers Nine. Eames said further,
it would appear, that In duo with the
barytone she could attain tones not to be
produced in any other way. That ID said
TO have been the chief reason why Nine.
Eames and De Gorgoza have been ap-
pearing together In concerts,
ia "a
counsel both In the separation suit that
she had begun against her husband and
in the alienation action against the prima
donna. said yesterday that no amount
has been specified as damages in the lat

olared. under tho laws OF Pennsylvania.

The statements In the newspapers sfis
that Mime. de Gorgoza and nav

Manhattan during the present week. II IL

out Of the Court OF Common Pleas for the
