FILM MAN ASKS ANNULMENT.
Asserts Marriage with Artists
Model Was Illegal.

Jules A. Brulatour wealthy film i'm
porter, sought yesterday to defeat his
wfe's effort to obtain a separation by
himself asking the Supreme Court In n
counter action for annulment of their
marriage. Bruatours wife formerly
was Dorothy Gibson. much painted
artists model. the original Harrison
Fisher Girl" and a motion picture
actress. She also was a survivor OF the
Titanic disaster
Brulatour asserted in the papers filed
in court yesterday that II was hfs friend
ship with his present wife that caused
his first wife. to whom he had been mar
red in Missouri In 1904. to leave him.
The present Mrs Brulatour, her husband
alleged, formerly was the wife of George
Henry Batter. Brulatour's friendship
for the then Mrs, Batter, he alleges.
was brought to the first Mrs. Brulatour's
attention when Brulatour's automobile
killed a hat salesman. The present Mrs.
Brulatour was with him in the car at
the time OF the accident. and in the
course OF trial of an action for dam
ages that followed Brulatour is declared
frankly to have admitted that he and
the artists model were engaged to be
, married, although the action for divorce
dissolving his first marriage still was
pending.
! In his present affidavit Brulatour at
| tacks the legality OF that divorce decree,
which was obtained in Kentucky. He
alleges hia frat wife appeared in tho
cnse neither directly nor indirectly, and
that as a result OF this, under the Ken
lucky statutes. his marriage to his pres
ent wife was not legal. Brulatour lives
at 1867 Fifth avenue and has a summer
place at Cedarhurst.

YATES REFUSES TO
RETURN TO PRISON
Extradition of Jail Breaker
Nou Will Be Asked.

Warden Brophy OF Sing Sing prison
received a telegram yesterday from the
chief OF police Of Kansas City stating
that Chester Yates. the robber and jail
breaker. captured there recently. had re-
fused to return TO New York without be-
ing extrad!ted. Warden Brophy imme-
diately arranged to get extradition papers
from Gov. Smith. and they viii be sent
to Missouri with two OF the most efiacient
guards of Sing Sing to bring Yates back.
Yates escaped from Sing Sing in 1912.

Of a twenty year sentence for robbing
Aaron Bancroft of securities worth $751;
900. When he was received at Sing Sing
he gave his home as Kansas City, and II
IS believed that when he was captured
last week after six year search he
was paying a visit TO his people In the
Missouri city.
Sing Sing prison attaches were sur
prised when they heard that Yates had
refused to return without extradition
papers. Heretofore when captured he
has gone back to prison peaceably. thus
establishing a somewhat friendly atmos-
phere, which was OF value to him when
he next attempted to escape.
