Byfield Is Reticent
On Next Step In Suit
Against Rich Youth

NEW YORK, Aug. 21.-Clyde K.
Byfield, whose wife. Mrs. Sarah BY.
field, has brought a 100000 damage
suit against Walter T. Gambler, son
of Asa G. Gambler. of Atlanta, for
an alleged attack on her on board
the steamer Berengaria, said he
would make no statement in connec-
tion with the case until after the
conference, which has been arranged
for today between his lawyer,
Luther Rosser, and August Dreyer,
a local attorney.
Mr.. Dreyer was a passenger on
the Berengaria when the incident
on which Mrs. Byfield bases her
action Is said to have occurred. He
issued a statement in which he said
that after the steamship docked in
Cherbourg lit was agreed that all
would meet in New York when we
returned and that the matter would
be settled there"
Mr.. Rosser when asked II the
meeting referred to was the con-
ference which is to be held today

Mr.. Byfield said 1t would be i'm
possible to state the exact purpose
OF his visit until late today, when
he probably would make a state
ment.

field and his attorney, while in New
York, would attempt to round up
witnesses. One of these is said by
Mr.. Dreyer to be a watchman on
board the Berengaria.

learned that the whole thing started
in Atlanta when Gambler suggested
to Byfield that they take a trip to
Europe"
"Byfield said he had no money and
Gambler gave him $4,000, taking two
notes for 81 900 each, the statement
said Gambler, Byfield and the latter's
wife came to New York"
In New York, Mr.. Dreyer said, By.
field decided to take a trip to Detroit
bile business, and shortly after the
European trip was undertaken.
According to the statement of Mr..
Dreyer, the alleged attack on the
Berengaria was discussed after the
party arrived in England and where,
he said, he attempted to act as arbi-
TRAITOR. One of the discussions, he
said, took place on the observation
platform Of the train to London.
when we were on the train" the
statement continued. "Byfield said
to Gambler, II you can prove to me
that you did not touch this woman,
I'll call It square, but you'll have a
time doing it.

Further discussions Of the Incl.
dent, Mr.. Dreyer said, took place in
Paris, where Mrs. Gambler, he said
made an attempt to get back the
check which he is alleged to have
given to Mrs. Byfield on the Beren-
garia.

Dreyer, which was drawn up in Mrs.
Byfield's stateroom when the check
