Mrs. Risk Denied
Alimony Pending
Separation Suit
Bankers Wife Also Asked
S., 900 for Counsel Fees
and Payment of Golf
and Yacht Club Dues

Mrs. Florence Risk, wife of James
Risk, u wealthy banker and commits
sion merchant of New York and SIAM
ford, yesterday before Justice Finch
was denied her application for alimony
and counsel fees pending trial of her
suit for separation against Mr.. Risk
in the Supreme Court on the ground of
abandonment.
Mrs. Risk now is living at SAC River
side Drive. Mr.. Risk is at the Hotel
Pennsylvania. In her application for
alimony Mrs. Risk demanded 81 500 for
January, 81 200 q month thereafter and
$4,000 for counsel fees. The items in
cluded rent, pocket money and car and
chauffeur. The plaintiff also said she
understood she was entitled to golf
and yacht club dues and interest on
the mortgage on house in Stamford
which she said Mr.. Risk gave her as a
wedding present. This house figures in
another suit the wife has brought to
compel the husband to pay off the
indebtedness.
Mr.. Risk said he had allowed his
wife 5000, which ought to be ample
to support herself and pay her lawyers
charges.
Mrs. Risk was a widow, twenty years
Mr.. Risks junior, when they were mar
ried in 1920. At that time Mr.. Risk
was sixty years old.
In her application for alimony Mrs.
Risk says her husband was a prolific
writer of love notes, which she did
not accept seriously until he offered
her the following items if she would
marry him:
A house in Stamford; his interest in
the banking firm of johnson & Co.,
346 Broadway, which he said would
bring her in $4,000 a year; 100000
in cash, and $4,000 in Liberty bonds.
After their marriage, she says, her
husband became Quarrelsome and ir-
ritable. Last October he went
to Cuba and wrote letter say
ing that he had taken his life out of
hers, and concluding: II have work
to do. j. Risk"
In answer to mis- wife's suit Mr..
Risk said he provided we'll for her
and would not see her in need, 'but
it was only a question of short
time until her distaste for me would
m ke my life intolerable."
