The nineteen-page affidavit of Mrs.
Earnshaw. with whom Mrs. Frost
has been making her home since her

legged cruelty on the part of the hus-
band. Mrs. Earnshaw wildly depicted
an incident at Atlantic city. three
wears after the Frosts were married,
when the defendant was so Ill that
had almost biven up hope
for her recovery. Mrs Earnshaw de-
clared that at this time Mr.. Frost
proposed to her, despite the fact that
her husband, Godfrey Earnshaw. was
at the time serving his country In
France.
Mrs. Earnshaw swore that Frost,
thinking his wife about to die. said:
..If she does not die. l will divorce
her. am going to marry again and
| have another blonde in mind, but
YOU know l am very fond of you. You
are very pretty. Would you not take
me as n second mate? II your sister
dies, or l divorce her, will you marry
me-"

Mrs. Earnshaw said she told him
she would not take him If he were
the last man on earth. She alleged
that Frost further said to her that
her husband might be shot in france,
but that if this did not happen there
is something that money might take
care of. Money will do anything"
George II. Hassan, the alleged CO.
respondent named by Frost in his az.
fidavit. swore that the charges against
him were entirely false. He admit
ted knowing Mrs. Frost. but said
their relations were nothing more
than ordinary friendship. He said
that Jack Caravan. who represented
himself as an agent OF Maurice
Dieehes, Frost's lawyer. told him that
he had heard there was an intimacy
between Hassan and Mrs. Frost. and
that he did not see why Hassan
should not talk, inasmuch as Mrs.
Frost was then with a third man in
Reno.
Wife Was with Brother.
According to her attorney Mrs.
Frost was living in Reno with her
brother. Hassan further alleged that
Canavan brought Dieches to see him,
but said that he refused to discuss
Mrs. Frost. After Dieches left, he
swore Caravan said to him:
I'VE ought TO be able to make a
lot of money out of this case. Frost
is bound to divorce this woman and
will pay any money to get evidence.
All he needs is an admission that you
are intimate with her or some cor
respondence,"
Mrs. Catherine Kelley. cook in
the Frost household. said in an affi-
davit that a Mrs. Graham and Miss
Martin accompanied Frost to Atlantic
City, that Mrs. Graham appeared at
FrostHs New York home just after
Mrs. Frost went to Reno and occu-
pied a bedroom next to that of Mr..
Frost, and that Miss Martin called
daily. She said she has been advised
that Miss Martin is now living with
Frost in Atlantic City.
Arthur NJ. Salisbury, Reno attor-
ney, in his affidavit said that Mrs.
Frost consulted his firm profession
ally after she had been visited by
Dieches, Frost's lawyer, who told her
that Frost wanted her to begin a di-
vorce action and that he offered her
as high as $4,000.
The Frosts were married in 1915,
