NEW YORK, june lS-The Chan.
lin divorce ease will be settled out
OF rourt ION one and only one con,
dition,' Nathan Burkan, counsel
for the comedian, told the United
Press today.
The condition is that Mrs. Chap
lin withdraw her charges.
"And have heard nothing, -
Burkan added, ''that would lead me
TO believe that Mrs. Chaplin has
any intention of doing such n
thing
Tic comment was Burkan' 5 ans
wer to a report from the Pacific
Coast that the ease was on the
verge Of being settled.
|Mr. Chaplin and ] stand exact
ly where he did at the time Mrs
Chaplin made her grave charges, -
Burkap continued. "Those charges
placed stain on Mr. Chaplin $ two
children, and Mr. Chaplin viii fight
and fight TO have those stains re-
moved if it is the last thing he
docs in his life.
80 Tic STAINS can be eliminated IN
only ono or two ways-cithcr Mrs.
Chaplin will have to withdraw her
charges or we shall prove their
fslsity in open court.
Not one thing has transpired
since Mrs. Chaplin made her
charges to Justify a report that the
case would be settled out of court.
''Thc charges were false She
can admit they were by withdraw
ing them or we shall prove it TO the
world in open court
~ hope I have made myself
clear on that point that there is alb
soluteIy no foundation to any re
port about a settlement Of the suit
out of court
