CAPT. POTTER SUES
TO DRAW HIS MONEY
Wife Ties Up Bank Account,
So He Can't Dof Uniform.

When the armistice was signed In No
vember. Capt. Dwight Z. Potter OF the
Quartermaster, Corps was the happiest
man at Camp Mills. II meant to him
the casting on of olive drab and his re-
turn to civilian life.
But he still Is in uniform, through no
fault OF his or OF Uncle Sam. who has
granted a discharge TO Capt. Potter. It
Is because Mrs. Eva T. Brough Potter,
the officers wife, has tied up $4,000
which he had on deposit In a Manhattan
bank and the soldier finds himself in n
sore predicament. The time draws near
when he must give up wearing the uni
form or violate Government regulations
On the other hand, he has not the funds
with which to provide himself with civit-
ian attire.
All this was disclosed yesterday when
Capt Potter petitioned Justice Whitaker
In Supreme Court for permission to with
draw 5000 from his own bank account
In his motion. Potter states that he
wants to resume his work in connection
with the business he left when he joined
the army.
Mrs. Potter. as guardian OF two chill
dren. was trustee OF property owned by
them. She alleges she let her husband
have $4,000 OF the children's money
and received promissory notes for the
amount She succeeded in having Pot
ter's bank account tied up pending the
outcome of her action to recover the
money.
In counter-afildavit. Mrs. Potter al
leges there is no merit In her husbands
application. She says he always has
been plentifully supplied with money,
and while at Camp Mills he maintained
an expensive apartment at Fifth avenue
and Fifty-sixth street, and frequently
was to be seen in Fifth avenue riding in
high powered motor car with a liveried
chauffeur. Justice Whitaker viii hear

WOMAN'S SUICIDE IS
KEPT FROM HUSBAND
Mrs. John A. McGovern Il
Found Dead in Apartment
of Brooklyn Hotel.

The body OF Mrs Anna A. McGovern.
whose throat had been cut, was found
yesterday morning on the floor of her
apartment in the Standish Arms Hotel,
Brooklyn. Friends of the family fear to
reveal the death to her husband. John
G. McGovern. an attorney, because he rs
Just emerging from a long nervous ILL.,
ness. Efforts are being made to get
Mr.. McGoyern intb the country and keen
him there until the truth cannot be with
held from him longer.
The couple had lived at the hotel for
ten years or more. Their devotion to
each other was matter of comment to
the guests. Mrs McGovern had nursed
her husband constantly for many
months. Yesterday he felt sufficiently
well to go to his Office In the Garfield
Building. Soon after he left the hotel
housemaid knocked at the McCiovern
apartment door as was her custom. Re-
feiving no answer she let herself in with
2 pass key. as she had often done when
the couple were out, SO that she might
tidy the place in their absence.
The maid entered the bathroom and
found Mrs. McGovern's body. Two
gsshes were in The victims throat and
razor lay beside the body. The man
ager was notified and he summoned
Patrolman Hays of the Poplar street
station, who, after investigation, said
Mrs. McGovern had committed suicide.
Word was telephoned to Mr.. Mc6sovern
at his Office that his wife was Ill. He
started for home, but in the meantime
the body had been removed and al
traces Of the occurrence conceale
Friends previously notified, reached the
hotel before Mr.. McGovern did and told
hlm when he arrived that his wife had
been removed to nearby hospital and
ct present she could not be seen.
Justice James NJ. Cropsey of the Su-
preme Court, an intimate friend of the
couple. passed the day with Mr.. Nc
Govern and persuaded him TO go for a
walk in the afternoon.
Mr.. McGorern will be taken to the
vicinity of White Plains to recuperate.
It Is hoped that he eventually will have
gained sufficient strength TO sustain the
shock when the truth Is told to him.
Mrs. McGovern began nursing her
husband when his nervous system be-
came shattered, more than seven months
ago. She had constantly devoted her
self to him and yesterday had the first
real evidence, II was said. OF his actual
1t is feared that the relaxa-
tion OF the tension that Mrs. McGovern
had been .aboring constantly under
caused her nervous system TO break
when her husband started for HIS Office.
Mrs McGovern had lost more than forty
pounds, hotel attaches said. since his i'll
ness. and she too had been under the
care of the family physician recently.
Funeral arrangements have not been
made. The services will not be held un-
til after Mr.. McGovern Is safely into
the country, II is believed. The couple
had no children.
