thold Neumann. president OF the Arion
and Freundschait societies. In her ac-
ton for limited divorce from her
husband. Emilio de Gosorza, the noted
operate baritone.
These letters from De Gogorza to
his wife cover Il. period OF many
months. beginning IN 1906. when the
baritone first met Nine kames, on "A
transcontinental tour OF the Metropol-
itan grand opera troupe. They also
include the tour OF 1907 and 1908 and
ID period OF two months when he was
abroad In the summer of 1907.
One of the most remarkable ro-
mances of the century, IL is said is
revealed in the letters. For years. ac-
cording TO the sworn affidavit OF Mrs.
dc Gogorza. she and her husband lived
ON terms OF closest intimacy. She
had been his helpmate from the time
OF their marriage, sharing his sue
cesses with him, encouraging him in
the darker moments Then came the
beginning OF the end of marital fe-
licity I'm the letters from the western
section of the United States To Mrs.
de Gorgorza at her home at No 2ol
West Eighty-flrst-st IN this city.
First Mention OF Games.
First. 1t is alleged. came the let
los nj 4. of N
the name OF Emma Eames was first
mentioned as charming aud cultur-
ed woman with whom it had been his
great honor to be received OH terms of
friendship. That was but natural and
the wife rcjolced that the son of the
Brooklyn real estate agent had thus
advanced in his profession.
But other letters came in which the
wife intuitively began To realize that
her grip upon her husband was being
loosened. Through the letters of this
phase de GOgOrZa, II is claimed. began
unconsciously to reveal To his wife
the spell which the diva had cast upon
him. He rayed about this frozen
queen of the muse, of the wonders of
her voice, OF the subtle destinations
that had already enchanted him.
Then came other letters toward the
ending OF the correspondence, which
indicated de GogorZa attitude toward
both Eames and his wife. These let
ters, II is alleged. openly admit upon
de GogorZa's part that he has finally
met the woman with whom II is alone
possible TO become perfectly harmon
lied.
Seeks a Divorce.
In these, il is said, de GogorZa i'm
plores his wife to seek divorce. In
doing so he offers her financial induce
ments. He will do anything and ev-
erything TO bring about final and
dignifed parting
A number of these remarkable let
ters will be presented To Justice O'Gor'
nan, in an amended answer 10 the
affidavits, complaints and other pa
pers laid before the court in the pres
ent action brought by Mrs. de Go
gorza through Benno Loewy. her at
torney. for $4,000 per year alimony
and $1,000 counsel fees, prior to the
action for limited divorce.
II was learned that Mrs de Gogor-
"a has determined not to seek an alb
solute divorce. one of her closest
friends said to reporter:
Mrs de Gogorza has no intention
either now or in the future TO seek
AN absolute divorce from her husband.
Indeed, she does not feel that she
would have any ground for such an
action.
Moreover, 1t can be positively
stated that Mrs. de Gogorza will never
consent to her husband marrying an
other woman. BY that 1t must not be
inferred that Mrs. de Gogorza init
mates that her husband would seek
union with Nine. Eames, who two
years ago secured a divorce from Ju-
liam story, the artist and sculptor.
