lnony in the divorce proceedings
brought by.Lieutenant. CHARLES Nay
Tor of the United States Army agaill't
Mrs. FREDERICK Stephens Naylor..!
The suit, which is nearly ended,
was referred to "a master, and the
testimony was taken behind closed
doors. 1t was only when arguments
were heard today on exceptions to the
masters report and counsel we're OBJ
liged to read abstracts from the testi-
mony that the startling evidence be-
came public. ~
Lieutenant lNaylor Is q SON of John
s. MAYOR. a wealthy resident Of this
city, while his wife is descehdent
from a prominent family in Kansas.
Ever since their marriage the MAYORS
have been prominent socially and'figur-
ed IN army post life in the west
The couple have two children ,i4DOtll
being now in the wife's CUSTODY Tire
The suit was based on an alleged visit
to New York by Mrs. Naylor with
Allen d. O'Bryan, a friend of her .hus-
band, who had known them I'M the
west. O'Bryan was. named. In the
case. He is a resident of North Caro-
linn, but came here to defend Mrs.
Mlylor's honor and his own good
name. g.; 49, N"
Ii; appears, that at the time III the
visit to New York the Mayors were
living in Newark. N: j., to which, place
the lieutenant had been transferred
on recruiting service. While living
there the lieutenant accidentally met
O'Bryan,. and invited him homle:a1 One
day tlle MAYORS received by telephone
from O'Bryan to meet him fnhtNew
York to he his, guest to the baseball
game. The lieutenant could MT ac-
;ept, but mis-! wife was. glad, Of tile OPP
p~oartunity to see q championship
game, and it was arranged that she
should go alone with o'Bryan!! to the
ball game. I:
The testimony in the case showed
that. the lieutenant, suspiciousao az the
friendship between his wife and;
O'Bryan, employed private detectives
to trail the pair after they met in
New York, and according to the. tes-
timony or these detectives, the two,
instead, of going to the bali game,
went to the Hotel Braddock, where
they had luncheon, after which
O'Bryaas registered Us J. H. Enbbert
and wife. ~.
Wilen Mrs. Nsyl0r returned to her
home she found the house empty, and
her husband and children gone. It
was only after q long and difficult
search that size succeeded in locating
therAhldrenr In the care: Of her lats.
bands relatives in Germantown. She
immediately retained ATTORNEY John
L. X. s. ott to bring proceedings to re-
cover possession Of her children.

fused, declaring that SHE would fight
