Charges Army
Officer Took
Life for Peggy
Joyce Calls Wife AdUenturesS
and Strips Her of GldmOr
in DiUOFCe AnSLCer.

CHICAGO. May 31.-Peggy Upton
Archibald Hopkins-Joyce was stripped of
the glamor of jewels. millions and ro-
nance and held up as a sordid adven-
turess by her multi millionaire husband.
James Stanley Joyce, In an answer fled
today to Peggy's petition for $4,000 a
month temporary alimony. Startling ex-
pOsures of Peggy's alleged past were
made by Joyce in the most volumlnous
answer ever prepared in a divorce case.
The most startling charge made by
Joyce vas the revelation of a hitherto
sealed chapter in PegGy's lfe-the tax
ing Of his own life Dy an enamOred
army officer in New York, after an affair
de couer with Peggy. Joyce charged in
his bill that this army officer, driven
into debt by his desire to earn Peggy's
favor by satisfying her inordinate crav-
ing for Jewels, committed suicide in 3
Turkish bath in New York.
SAYS "ALIBI LETTER"
FALSE INSTRUMENT.
OF almost equal interest is the charge
that Peggy's "alibi letter" produced by
her to prove her alleged divorce from her
a-st husband, Everett Archibald, took
place before her marriage to PhiIbrick
Hopkins, is a false instrument. This let
ter was produced by Peggy during an
interview granted last week.
Joyce charges that this letter, which
Peggy asserted proved she had been di-
vorced in Denver in May. 1912, Is a sham
He declares that the judge who Peggy
claimed signed the decree that freed her
from Archibald, died six moRths bsfoze

vealed by Joyce is a most remarkable

One of Costly New Jumpers
Fails to Operate and Re-

ANOTHER FIRE SPREADS

Failure Of members of the Indian
apolis fire department to exercise
the simple precaution of opening
fire hydrant from which they were
attempting to get water and the
failure of another company to make
one of the costly new bumpers oper-
ate, resulted in another spreading
residence fire early today.
The E. NJ. BagIey Company's mill at
1719 East Eighteenth street was destroyed
and the flames damaged several resi-
dences In the vicinity while the fire de-
partment's failures stood in the way OF
proper water pressure with which to
combat It,
In accordance with the newly-issued
instructions, the first pUmper company to
arrive attached the pumper to a fire hy-
drant, but was unable to get water from
1t. An attendant from the water COM

greatly reduced because Of the resistance
afforded to the water by the valves Of
the no-operating pumper through which
it was forced by the water company's
fire pressure.
When the firemen from an engine house
two blocks distant arrived the big one
story frame structure was a veritable
furnace. The company builds stairs,
makes patterns and other wood work and
the building and contents furnished ready
fuel for the flames. The origin OF the
fire is unknown. The loss was estimated
at $1,000 on the factory.
The fire spread to a shed at 1717 East
Eighteenth street, and caused $50 damage.
The fire also spread to the Bagley home,
1721 East Eighteenth street and $500
damage resulted. The roof of &. A.
Hackman's home at 1886 East Eighteenth
