But. If such phrase is permissible at all

Yes" said the petite blonde Baroness
Lucia Won GeAtard.
NO" said the Baron Cert Won Gontard.
And that difference Of opinion caused the
latest development in their legal squabble.
The Baroness did not deny that on GER
tain May evening year ago. when her hus-
band came bargng into the apartment Of
the fashionable Fifth Avenue gynecologist,
Or. Hans Wiesbader, she was closeted (lt-
orally inside.
Nor did she deny that when the door Of
the closet (where she closeted) was
thrown open. that she emerged from obscurity
Ike Venus rising from the sea. in spite OF the
fact that il was a clothes closet.
But she did deny that she had any idea
what was going on.
Just as London, when the German raiders
come over blacks itself out. so too the
Baroness's mind BACKED out. she averred,
during the raid of her German-born husband
on the apartment of Or. Wiesbader.
Consequently he was not entitled, she
went on, 20 the divorce which ne got on the
strength Of that nights exciting happenings.
little while ago, through her new law
yer Bernard II. Sander, of go Broadway,
New York she asked the court TO reopen the
case on the ground that she had been the
victim of a conspiracy and that at last in her
right mind, she was ready to put up proper
defense.
The Baron. for his part, contended that
when he came a-raiding he encountered the
very opposite of a blackout, in fact the most
brilliantly clear situation he had ever seen.
Besides himself, his party consisted of his
attorney Samuel Fischer an eX-employe OF
the hotel where he was staying a writer
named Erich Posselt, and couple of special
investigators.
These six breezed into the lobby Of the
Fifth Avenue apartment house, where the
doctor lived at the time, and without meet
ing with any resistance approached his
ground floor suite, the door of which was
unlocked They did not bother TO ring or
knock, just went inside, switched the
lights and proceeded to search the place.
After describing, on the witness stand,
how they presently came to a room, whose
door was shut and locked, the writer, Pos
self, continued:

events which transpired and thereby supply
the deficiency and vacuum Of the intervening
period"
Proceeding on the theory that she had been
drugged and that the whole business had been
a plot 10 frame her she found what seemed
to her to be some supporting evidence in the
story Of the raid as told by the Baron's own
witnesses.
Among other things she called the courts
attention to the with which entry into
the apartment affected.
Then came the curious matter of the in-e
vestigator's key, which happened to fit the
closet door
This coincidence seems to have impressed
the referee as well as the wife. for he ques-
toned the investigator as follows:
Are you the fellow that carried bunch
of keys with you and broke open the closet?"
Answer: Il just had my own keys"
Question; What are they, skeleton keys ?"
Answer: NO, as a matter of fact, Mr..
Fischer has that key, key to my front
door"
Question: The key to your front door
opens the closet in another mans house,"
Answer: 1T did"
Whereupon the referee said: Il don't be-
lieve it."
Neither does the Baroness, any more than

only they weren't so noticeable the
way he showed il to the court,
stripped OF the setting. And so she
proceeded TO set it back among the
events where she averred, it be-
longed and then TO call the courts
attention to its imperfectons.
She described how the Baron after for.
saking his native Germany in 1888 to come to
this country where his maternal grandfather
was brewery millionaire and where the bulk
Of his own fortune was invested, had besought
her to follow him and become his wife. She
agreed to give up her career and, later that
same year, married him on the eve of her
arrival in New York.
In 1889 both were admitted to United
States citizenship the Baron laying his title
away in mothballs and turning into plain Mr..
Won Gontard as he was called at the divorce
trial.
Meanwhile. their married life; she COM
planned, had been an unhappy one, charac-
terized by the scenes brought on by her hus-
bands behavior and later, by his efforts to
get rid of her cheapy as possible.
Then came the fateful day. of May 81,

to Or. Wiesbader, his most intimate friend,
he had promised the latter the two remaining
bottles of a case of champagne in suite

bader farewell and at the same time deliver
the champagne TO hin.

no tears, no pleas. no fainting, real or feigned,
no hysteria,"
There was plenty of hysteria later, how
ever, when she said she came to in the hos
pital and while still there was unfeelingly
served with the summons and complaint in
her husbands divorce suit Or. wiesbader
got her an attorney, who, she charged, pro-
vided only enough of defense to allow the
case to come to trial and then dropped out.
But when this happened she knew nothing
about it, for, according to her story, she was
far away in Brazil, visiting her brother. Her
affidavit states that she had been induced to
go there by the Baron and his lawyer who
told her that she needed a rest and that, If
she went to Brazil. the divorce case would be
dropped and she would be amply provided for.
After some months in South America she
was notified by the authorities that unless
she returned to the United States before a
certain date. she would lose her American
citizenship. She wrote Won Gontard's attorney
to this effect and in reply says she received
her first notification that she was no longer
the Baroness Won Gontard, as her husband
had gone through with the divorce and also
strong hint that she would continue to re-
ceive cash support only so long as she stayed
out of the country.
However, if she did receive such a yelled
intended, for she came back to New York
on the double and with fire in her eye.
In petitioning the court not to grant his
ex-wife's request to reopen the divorce suit
the Baron stood by his earlier charges and
in effect, called her action belated attempt
to stage a counter-raid on his pocketbook
Moreover, he, disclosed that IL days after his
own raid when she had presumably come out
of the fog, she signed a statement confessing
her infidelity on the disputed evening as well
as on prior occasions, with the same man
And he wound up by presenting the sworn
statements of doctors and nurses, who had
attended her during the alleged mental black
out, all declaring that she had been in pos
session of her faculties throughout.
These charges were attacked by the Bar
oness on the ground that IL the confession
had been obtained by threats and coercion
and p having never received a proper physi-
cal examination at the hospital, the doctors
and nurses statements. open to question in
themselves, carried no weight
One curious thing about the whole mix-up
is the fact that Won Gontard. by profession a
journalist and writer is the author of a re-
cent book published by the Alliance Book
Corporation and called I'm Defense of Love"
1t is vigorous attack on psychoanalysis
in which the Baron energies as the champion
not Of any particular love, least of all for the
Baroness but of love in general, of the good
old-fashioned kind. In it, he says:
Boldly take up the spear Of st. George
and, without an evil thought in my head or
heart set out TO Stay the dragon Of psyche
analysis. l 60 TO defend honest sex. I go TO
protect the love of men and women"
All, well.

1t has often been said that a good gem
can be spoiled by bad setting. The Baroness
who, by the way, is a former German movie
star and pretty, may have had some such
thought in mind when she launched her de-
layed attack on the divorce her husband
obtained months ago.
OF course, she did not admit that his story
of the raid was much of gem TO begin WITH
it was full of flaws, according to her view.

Where many souls will sing
Who once sang in our village.
Too bad, we cannot here somehow
Tell you how we love you now,
And do so with a gracious bow,
Lest you should fail to know;
But mother dear, I'm not so sure
That you cannot with spirit pure,
The message of our hearts procure
That we have failed to show
In our Little Country Village.
Mother, we should not weep for you
We know you would not want US to
But for our feeble selves we do,
Because we are so weak;
We cannot see beyond our tears
The struggles of the coming years
And so we have our time of fears
And know what to speak
In our Little Country Village.

HOMING PIGEONS BACK
IN VIRGINIA HOME

Nine homing pigeons, owned by
Elston Startt, of Cape Charles, re-
leased at Old Point Comfort last
Sunday morning have returned to
their lofts here. Thirteen, were re-
leased, but almost simultaneous with
their release target practice was
started by the guns at Fort Monroe
and the birds were apparently much
confused.
One of the birds was in Cape Chas.
when the boys returned here; five
came in on Monday, two on Tuesday
and one on Wednesday. 1t is believed
that the other four, possibly detained
in the Hampton Roads area, will even
tually find their way to their home
loft here. All the birds were young
training stock,
