Millionaire's Wife Replies Speci.
ficalIy 10 Husbands Charges
COMPROMISE IS PROBABLE
Answer Makes No Cross-AlIegations,
Although There Is Possibility of
New York Woman Being Named.
Public Trial Not Considered as
Likely at Present Time.

Baltimore, March 20.-Making +;
specific denial to every one of the
allegations contained in the suit fol
divorce filed by her husband, Mrs
Emile A. Emerson. wife of Capt
Isaac Emerson. filed her answer Sat.
nrday afternoon in the circuit court
The answer is brief. 1t makes NO
cross-allegations and admits only the
marriage and the names of their chill
dren.
Mrs. Emerson denies the charge
that her relations with c. Haselt.ne
Bashore have been improper, and
states that she has always been a
faithful wife. The document recites:
"Third-The allegation in the
third paragraph of said bill of com
plant that the defendant has been
guilty OF misconduct with c. Hasel-
tine Bashore is deliberate false
hood and the defendant emphatically
and Indignantly denies the same, and
she AYERS and charges that she has
always conducted herself since her
marriage to the plaintiff as dutiful
and chaste wife, and that she has
never In any way or at any time
violated her marriage VOWS or failed
in any wise to faithfully perform all
her marital obligations, and she
shows unto the court that the said G.
Haseltine Bashore has never visited
her except with the approval and
consent of the plaintiff.
Not Her Fault.
.Fourth-The defendant admits
that the plaintiff has not recently
lived with her, as alleged In the
fourth paragraph. but she emphati-
cally denies that his failure to do so
was due TO the discovery of supposed
occurrences mentioned in the third
paragraph Of said bill, and which as
hereinbefore shown have no existence
in truth or fact.
And having fully answered the
bill of complaint the defendant prays
that she may be hence dismissed with
her reasonable costs"
II is rumored that a compromise
will be effected, and that Captain
Emerson will make financial settle
ment on his wife that will be salts
factory TO her. This report. how
ever, lacks official confirmation. The
amount mentioned as acceptable to
Mrs. Emerson would be $4,000 a
year income, or in lieu OF this. lump
sum Of 100000. The gossipers have
il that Captain Emerson was willing
TO make an annual allowance OF s20.-
600 to his wife. The captains in
come Is reported to be from $500. 200
to s430,000 a year.
There have been reports OF a cross
bill naming a prominent New York
woman as correspondent. In case
there should be neither eompro-
mise with a satisfactory settlement.
or cross bill filed, testimony will
be taken before an examiner on the
petition OF Captain Emerson within
the next few weeks. II is very I'm
probable that public trial will ever
be held Of the case, even should Mrs.
Emerson file cross bill.
