CHARGES

(IN.SO.-"Absolutely bus ness
like" were her relations with
Chester Proudman, garbage plant
superintendent, insisted Mrs. Ar
line Bennett Schley in denying she
had even been a tiny bit at1ec-
tionate.
She never Rugged him, never
kissed him. No, never even ad-
dressed any man afectionately,
save her husband.
So she stated from the witness
stand in superior court to launch
her contest of the divorce action
brought by Henry S. Schley, Jr.
Young Garden City, L. l., sports
man, who charged intolerable
cruelty and misconduct, naming
Proudman as correspondent.
Mother of Two Children
The trial was in adjournment
TODAY until next week, with the
29-year-old ex-nurse and mother OF
two children scheduled to resume
her testimony. A.,
She said she had visited the
New Canaan sewage disposal plant
on several occasions and Proud
man had come to her home IN
Norwalk because they were con-
ferring on a new home she planned
to build in Easton. She said:
"Mr. Proudman understands
things, and my husband has no
head for construction matters.
She testified her mother-in-law,
Mrs. Adele Mason Schley, had pur-
chased a 15-acre tract and plans
were drawn for the home by New
York architects, when the elder
Mrs. Schley changed her mind
and refused to build the home.
Since then the young Mrs. Schley
has instituated suit for 100000
against her husbands mother
charging alienation of affections.
Denies Charges
Mrs, Schley flatly denied testi-
mony of her former houSekeeper,
private detectives hired by her
husband and others, that she was
Proudman's paramour, that she
frequently was seen on his lap
and held torrid embraces. She
never gave Proudman any gifts,
she said.
She told Judge Kenneth Wynne
she was particularly opposed to
her husbands refusal to find en-
ployment and his continual drink
ing. She said they were given
$500 or 5000 a month by her
mother-in-law, but felt that her
husband would be more useful if
he had some gainful employment.
She and Proudman tried to get
him a job as a taxidermist at the
Museum of Natural History in
New York and at Yale, but were
unsuccessful,
