for Divorce.

An application by Mrs. Mab- NJ
Masterson for alimony pending a suit
FOR divorce from John Warren Master
son, a deputy agency superintendent Of
the Metropolitan Life Insurance Com
pany. vas denied yesterday by Supreme
Court Justice shearn on the ground that
ne didn't believe she was likely to sue

was made after Masterson had sub
mitted an affidavit stating that an at
tempt 20 build up a divorce case against
him Is being made by a discharged
agent OF the life Insurance company
who has given his wife a diamond en-
sagement ring and intends to marry
her II she gets a divorce.
Mrs. Masterson says she married the
defendant In 1902 and was not
suspicious Of him until 1908. when he
brought home the picture OF a Mrs.
Brown, from whom he had been collect
ing insurance premiums. She says that
for several years afterward "he re-
counted the various qualities OF this

child was born TO her It looked like him

uncle. She believed her husbands pro-
testat!ons of fidelity. she said. until two
years ago, when her brother investigated
and reported that Masterson had been
guilty OF misconduct with Mrs, Brown
In her apartment at s st. Nicholas
terrace and she Immediately left him.
In reply Masterson says h. introduced
his wife TO Mrs. Brown at a ball o..
the Twenty-sscond Regiment OF En-
Elneers and that she has been jealous
or Mrs. Brown ever since. Her accu-
sations concerning Mrs. Brown are un-

pIcions encouraged by her mother and
by Juliu W. Jensen, who was a fire.
