NAMED CORRESPONDENT
Mrs. J. Temple Gwathmey, Of New
port, Involved in Bishop
Divorce Suit.

New York, Jan. lS-James Cunningham
Bishop, a member of the banking tirm of
Raymond and Company at . Pine
Street has been sued for absolute d.
vorce, the papers naming Mrs. ]. Temple
Gwathmey, one of the most prominent
women in Newport and New York eNclu-
sive circles and wife of one-time presi-
dent OF the Cotton Exchange.
II developed to-day that the suit for
absolute divorce followed and was an
amendment to a suit for separation
which Mrs. Bishop had filed against her
husband in the Supreme Court II was
only a little more than a week ago that
the first intimation Of marital difficult
ties in the Bishop family became public
through the insertion by Mr.. Bishop of
: personal in the avertising columns
Of a newspaper, setting forth that he
would no longer be responsible for his
v ifes debts
The amended complaint recites that for
a wear past Mr. Bishop has been guilty
of misconduct with several women, whose
names are alluded to only by initials, but
il recites a specific instance In which Mrs
Gwathmey is named and wherein the
misconduct is alleged TO have been COM
mitted in December in the Hotel Astor.
Mrs. Gwathmey to-day at the Hotel
Gotham said:
..The charges made by Mrs. Bishop are.
of course, absolutely and wickedly un-
true, and will be shown to be untrue. II
Is only charitable to suppose that Mrs
Bishop Is laboring under delusions. from
whatever source these delusions may have
proceeded. and that for some reason she
is not now capable of rational thought"
II Is understood that Mrs. Gwathmey
and her husband have. peen living apart
for some time. They have spacious
summer home in Rye.
