of chemistry at the College of France.
was cited today i'm II petition filed in the
divorce court by the wife OF Prof. LANCE
vim. also Il professor Of general and eX-
perimental physics At the College of
France.
Mime. 1.angevin asks i'll her petition for
separation and the custody of her chill
dren. She also claims separate mainte-
nance. on the ground of her husband s
alleged misconduct.
Prof. Langevin. through his lawyer
Maitre Poncare. entered opposition to
the form of the petition. This procedure
is customary in France, even when the
parties 10 the suit have reached an
agreement. hut nothing definite can be
concluded from the fact until the court
of the parties submitted their conclu-
sions to the court.
Maitre Coudy. who is Nine. Langevin
lawyer, submitted also a batch of docu-
ments containing letters alleged to have
passed between Nine. Curie and Prof.
Langevin. which he contends prove
grave injuries" this term meaning either
physical violence or marital intidelity.
Court to Decide
The court has now to decide whether
the documents submitted are sufficient
to establish misconduct and justify
separation. If it decides that the docu-
ments are not sufficient for this purpose
it may order evidence to be produced in
court and pleadings to be made
Maitre Coudy announced in court that
if a separation (Which becomes divorce
in France at the end of three years. is
granted Nine. Langevin will withdraw
her complaint of adultery which she
brought in the criminal court against
Prof. I.angevin and Nine. Curie. Other
wise she would let that allegation take
the ordinary course.
The lawyers engaged in the suit refused
to say whether a general agreement has
been reached between the parties. They
apparently. are waiting for the courts
decision on the question of separation.
The letters cited by Nine. Langevn's
lawyer include all those which Nine.
Langevin removed surreptitiOusly from
her husbands second apartment where
he is said to have constantly met Nine.

relations of great intimacy existed. while
it is also said that they disclose the at
tempts made by Nine. Curie to separate
Prof. Langevin from his wife.
None of the parties was present in
