Y., December 9.—A general denfal of the allega- tions in the complaint of the mar- riage annulment suit filed by Leon- ard Kip Rhinelander is contained in the answer of his wife, Mrs. Alice Jones Rhinelander, which her attor- ney, Samuel F. Swinburne, made pub- lic last night. Rhirelander, in his suit, charges her with having misrepresented her race to him. Although a copy of the answer was served upon Leon R.

Questioned as to what action would be taken by his cllent with regard to the charge that she has negro blood, Mr. Swinburne said he con- sidered that matter to be of second- ary consideration. “Since they do ant openly charge that Mrs. Rhinelander | is & negro or has negro biood in her veins,” he sald, “there s nothing there that needs to be disproved.” The suit probably will not come to trial until late in January, Mr. Swin- burne said. Mrs. Rhinelander, he sald, still has “the greatest faith” in her husband, and believes that the suit is being prosecuted by his rela- tives. She refuses to belleve that he has had any part in it whatsoever, Mr. Swinburne said.
