Fathers Patients
Helped Gibbons to
Raid Wife's Home
Lawyer for Plaintiff i'm
Divorce Action Declares
Mrs. Gibbons Threatened
to Shoot If Men Entered

The much published marital affairs
of Mrs. Anna Olga Gibbons and Austin
Flint Gibbons, a lawyer, and son of DR..
Peter J. Gibbons, went to trial in the
Supreme Court yesterday, Mrs. Glib
bons suing for separation and Mr..
Gibbons, asking for divorce, naming
Lieutenant Joseph Hoffman.
A raid on an apartment at II East
Thirty-fifth Street, in April, 1919, j. B..
Delehunty, counsel for Mr.. Gibbons,
told Justice Wasservogel and u jury,
was the basis of the husbands counter
claim for a divorce.
The raid was made by Mr.. Gibbons,
his father and two of the latter's
patients. The husband knocked on the
door of the apartment, announced who
he was and threatened to break down
the door if it was not opened.
"If you do break the door, have a
revolver; | will shoot" responded a
woman's voice, according to the lawyer.
Failing in an effort to force the door
the raiders broke the panels of an
other door and entered the apartment.
There, said Mr.. Delehunty, the visitors
found Mrs. Gibbons and man who
said he was Hoffman.
David Myers, attorney for Mrs. Glib
bons, in denial of the charges, said
Mis-. IlDboHS Hau returned nome aItef
having dined with Hoffman at the
Hotel Pennsylvania. Mr.. Myers said
that his client and the lieutenant had
met for the first time on that day, be-
ing introduced by Harry Seaman, a
wholesale grocer and college chum of
Hoffman.
Michael F. McCahill, of Tulsa, Okla,
the first witness for Mr. Gibbons, COR
roborated the statements made by
counsel for the husband added that
Hoffman, who said he was lieutenant
in the army and lived in Washington
was intoxicated the night of the raid
and had to be assisted in dressing.
Mrs. Gibbons, who took the stand
was asked if she was interested in
Hoffman. Her reply was that he was
brave man, while her husband had
escaped military service in the draft
through certificate Of his father.
Joseph Unger, Of the Western Elec-
trio Company, testified that he was
near the door of the apartment the
night of the raid and he saw Mrs. Glib
bons inside fully dressed. He also
said that Hoffman, who was dragged
from the apartment by two men, was
sober and was asking for an oppor-
tunity to explain.
The trial will be continued to-day.

Peggy Says Joyce
Beat Her Instead
OF Going to War
Enraged by Her Asking Him
to Fight for Country, She
Swears; Charges He Paid
To BE Freed of Woman
Special pispatch to Tho Tribune

CHICAGO, June PEGGY Hopkins
Joyce came back to-day with series
of counter charges against her hus-
band, J. Stanley Joyce, and she made
1t snappy. Summarized, she accuses
him Of the following derelictions:
He was anything but the "guiet. in
dustrious business man" his attorneys
paint him. He admitted indiscretions
+ rior to his marriage with zone Char
lotte Johnson" presumably from Chi
cago.
He paid the Johnson woman a sum
of money to get rid of her.
When she asked him why he did not
don a uniform and serve his country
he flew into passion, striking and
beating her. This, she says, took place
in Miami, Fla, early in their honey
moon.
Joyce begged her to "back him up.
il the Johnson woman threatened to
cause him trouble
His answer to her official petition is
chiefly material for the newspapers,
not intended for use in the courts, and
constitutes a "cowardly attempt to de-
fame her"
All the new charges of intimacy
with other men which he makes
against her are utterly false.
He is worth in excess of $4,000, 900
instead of $3,000,o00, as he asserts,
through his attorneys.
Her only cash assets at this time
are $24,91992 on deposit in Paris
bank.
Peggy makes no specific denial of
the bigamy charge filed by Joyce, but
says at the time she was married to
Philbrick Hopkins she believed she
had been divorced and was free to re-
marry.
Peggy depies, generally and sepa-
rately, all charges of infdelity made
by her husband, and denies she ever
threatened him with physical violence.
Furthermore, she denies the excessive

last night by John F. Brennan, chief
counsel for Mrs. Stillman. Everv eff
fort will be made, he added, to push
the case to a conclusion when the hear

Mr.. Brennan denied yesterday that
there was any foundation for report
printed that charges might be brought
later against an unnamed county Off

conferred with Judge Morschauser with
regard to such contemplated action.
He asserts that no such conference took
place.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, June Win
necke's comet, the expected near ap-
proach Of which to the earth this
month has caused much comment, will
probably not come within ten million
miles of us, according to information
received at the Harvard College OBJ
servatory from astronomers in various
parts of the world who are studying
its motion closely.
The comet will make its nearest ap-
proach to the sun on Juna -. and will
be at it's brightest at about the same
time. 1t is doubtful. however, whether
it will be of approximately sixth mag
it will be of approximately sixtm mag
nitude. In any case, only an expert
enced observer with very clear sky
to aid him could distinguish the com ct
without telescope from the multi
tudes of faint stars visible under
favorable conditions.
Several astronomers predict me-
