HOW MUCH ALIM0NY
WILL MRS. BR0KAW GET?

New York. Dec. ao-In the estima-
tIon of those who have closely follow 4
the case. the Broknw separation suit
had simmered down today to = question
OF the alimony to be awarded to Mrs.
Brokaw.
The attitude assumed by W. Gould
Brolsaw's attorneys in court was gen.
orally interpreted as indicating they
considered themselves beaten on thair
main case and wero concentrating their
energies OH a fight to keep the alimony
award down to what their client con-
siders a reasonable figure
The presentation on Saturday next
OF the statement of Mr.. Brokaw's
financial position. which the court has
ordered, Is expected to determine this
point. Should, however. the statement
fail to show an income approximating
tho estimates of Mrs Brokaw's at
torneys. they are likely to cross-ex-
anime Mr.. Brokaw closely to secure an
analysis OF the figures.
The defendant inherited s4.500.00o from
his fnther four years ago and while IL
is conceded inroads have been made In
the estate. Mrs. Brokaw's lawyers con-
tend her husband is amply able to
pay the $50. 900 yearly alimony which
she demands.
