MILLION DOLLAR
ALIMONY S UT
FIGHT MAPPED
Phil Plant Sees Lawyer
On Wife'S Demand

NEW YORK, Nov. Is G.N.S0.
Wealthy Phil Plant was ready to
go into a huddle today with his
lawyer to plan his next move in
the suit of his wife, Edna Durham
Plant, for a divorce accompanied
by a cool million dollars alimony:
Although she has doubts about
collecting the million, even if the
courts award it to her, Mrs. Plant
was reported today to be so angry
over her husbands legal parrying
that she is considering raising
the ante.
ASKS ACCOUNTING
Also she planned to carry out
her demand that her mother-in-
law. Mrs. William Plant Hayward,
explain what happened to the mil
lions that her husband, Phil. al
legedly transferred to his mother.
The wife has filed a 19-page doc
ument in a Bridgeport Comm
court outlining her husbands re-
puted marital failures and has
threatened to file few more
pages. The exhaustive document
stunned Phil and led to today'S
proposed legal conference.
OFFERS TO SETTLE
Mrs. Plant was reported ready
to settle with her husband for
$3.50, 900 alimony.
But when Plant would not agree
to more than $150,000, it was re-
ported, and demanded particulars
in the suit, Mrs. Plant decided
to stick by her original demand
for $1,000,000.

Prosecutor Johnston declared as
the trial opened that the preacher

her home in nearby Paris, Wo., to
railroad station in neighboring
town.

In Matr0n'S Death

PTTTSFIELD, ILL.,, Nov. IS
GN.SD AS calmly sedate as
ever he marched to the pulpit, the
Rev. Colonel Ellsworth Newton,
came into court today to be tried
for murder.
The sandy-haired Baptist
preacher, 81 and married, faced
the States charge that he killed
one of his parishioners, a comely
4O-year-old matron as the grim
climax of their clandestine love
making.
