MRS. AL DAVIS
LEAVES HER HOME
Dancers Wife Disappears
When Kelly Case
Is Revived.
MOTHER MAY DECIDE
ON ACTION TO-DAY
Davis's Friend Who Disposed OF
Girls JeWelry Now Seeks
Immunity.

Mrs Amy Davis. wife Of Al Davis,
the dancer. has left her home In Hemp
stead. Her departure from her home
with her son synchronized with the pub
lie renewal OF the iockey-dancer's at
tcntions TO Miss Eugenia Kelly, whom
he says he is going 20 marry when the
interlocutory decree Of divorce granted
Mrs. Davis becomes permanent Tn
less something interviews this will be
within a month.
Mrs. Davis, who was Miss Fogarty,
the daughter of q brewer once well
known in New York. was well to DO
when Davis abandoned the Jewish
faith to marry her. she being, as IS
Miss Kelly. "a Roman Catholic. Much
Of her fortune has been spent since her
marriage TO Davis. who, according to
reports from Hampstead, has been more
attentive 20 her since she filed her di-
vorce suit than in the five years that
followed their separation.
Inquirers at the house yesterday
were told that Mrs. Davis had gone
away on an automobile tour and would
not he back for few days. Just where
me has gone the young woman who
answered the doorbell would not say.
The absence of Mrs. Davis from her
home would not necessarily block action
calculated TO hold up the permanent
decree in her case. As the supplicant
for relief al the hands Of the court she
must at all times hold herself IN readi-
ness 10 answer any summons Of the
court I'm the event that il is decided
to make an inquiry into the circum-
stances surrounding the entire case, and
her failure to appc-r If wanted would
automatically block the issuance of a
decree.
Mrs. Edward Kelly will confer with
her counsel, John f. Mcintyre, to-day,
and in all probability decide what
course Of action she will pursue. The
greater part of yesterday she spent
going over the matter with friends and
discussing the attacks made upon her
in the published utterances Of her
daughter.
These. Mrs. Kelly was advised.
showed very poor judgment on the part
of whoever is advising the young wom-
an, for in them she. for the first time,
made admissions Of her relations with
men who have figured in the case that
viii prove useful in the event that II
is decided 70 again begin court proceed
ings.
One Of the men whom Miss Kelly
mentioned has been seeking TO get un-
der cover since the case broke, and
has offered 10 return the jewelry Of
the young woman in the event that
Mrs. Kelly sign an agreement not to
prosecute him civilly or criminally for
anything he may have done. The offer
was rejected.
. Mr.. Mcintyre said last night that the
case is at a standstil until Mrs Kelly
decides on the exact course 10 be fol-
lowed.
Just what this decision would be,
Mrs Kelly would not say last night.
"ln a day or so will have some
thing 10 say" she said. that will clear
this whole matter up. There is no
particular need for hurry. The fact
that we are proceeding slowly in this
matter does not mean that | am going
70 quit Not a bit Of it. ! am this
girls mother, and | am going to do my
duty by her.
81 am deeply hurt by the aetacks she
has been led TO make upon me, but she
would never do il Of her own accord.
In due time, however, everything will
be Strengthened out"
