Paris. a lawyer named Mitchell came
and conferred with De~Braz in Prague
and also with Nine. Vonsiatsky's law
yer here through French intermediary
In Prague he presented a letter from
Vonsiatshy asking for an affidavit
that Nine. Vonsiatsky was not q
Christian. A copy OF this letter also is
included in the evidence sent to New

"But de Braz refused to perjure thus
ly and Mitchell tried TO obtain some
thing of me which would help Vonsiat-
sky" Here Nine. Vonsiatsky laughed
as though thoughts of VonsiatslSy's be-
trayal We're furthest from her mind She
picked up the original of the letter said
to have been written to her by Mitchell,
sent from the Paris address of the
Morgan-Harjes bank, wherein it was
said that her name had been given by
mutual friend in New York, and ask
ing her for a few minutes of her COM

me to meet Mitchell, but that personally
he would receive any communications
which he thought might interest us.
And that was the end OF Mit.helps

Nine. Vonsiatsky's lawyer Is one OF
the most prominent in European and in
ternational affairs. In commenting upon
the case he declared that he considered
n grave injustice had been done his
client If the Russian Church in New
York granted any secret annulment be-
fore it has received the mass OF evidence
which is being forwarded.
1--WE are not pressing any charge Of
bigamy. That Is not our purpose" he
declared But we shall go to New
York IL necessary 10 plead Nine.
Vonsiatsky's right to, consider her mar
rage valid. Beyond that it is a matter
for the American courts to decide with
out any interference by my client
All the Russian documents connected
with the marriage have been approved
by the Russian Consulate here. while
excerpts of important correspondence
between the Vonsiatskys also have been
corroborated and certified by experts in
order to leave no loophole for annulment
upon pretense of the inaccuracy OF the
documents.
