CHAPLIN WILLPAY MLLION N DNVORCE Film Comedian’s Bills In-| crease as Various Debts Are Counted Up. By the Associated Press, LOS ANGE Aug He Chap! today provided the conjecture and g going and newspaper-reading that know of t film jester marital difficulties.

To the small sons. placed in the w 3 stody, 1 trust fund of $200,000.

Since out of the wife's $625,000 comes almost $100,000 in attorneys’ fees, the actor's quintet of counsel is expected to receive no less amount In the cutting of the legal melon the firm of Young & Young. whi withdrew only recently from the ca and precipitated a but bitter court scene, with their fees the crux of the affair, will receive $36.500. | A like amount will go to Edwin T. McMurray of San Chaplin’s uncle as well as The firm of Lee & Lee, which suc- | ceeded the Youngs, will receive $10,000, and George Beebe, who withdrew as counsel for the wife prior to the| filing of the complaint, will receive | $5,000. wealth of figures for ip of the-movie worlds | and his | Receivers’ Bill. Another possible cut into the $625,000 was seen in the $30,000 bill offered by the receivers placed over the Chaplin properties on the wife's request soon after the author had left for New York. The comedian has agreed to pay only a part of this sum. Under the terms of the property | sattlement Mrs. Chaplin will receive $375.000 at once, $100,000 September 1, 1928, another $100,000 a year later and the closing $50,000 the following year. The principal of the $200,000 trust fund will go to the children when the younger reaches 35. The million-dollar prize paid by Chaplin for domestic freedom does not include the loss of a year's work on his unfinished picture, “The Circus,” a tactor that would run into huge sums in delayed receipts and production costs’ in gathering his cast | together again. | The divorce trial itself. after the months of legal bickering hetween at torneys and numerous threatening s on the part of Mrs. Chaplin’s counsel hinting at the prominence of the film actresses involved, was a tame . affair. Within a few seconds after opening of the triul McMurr: announced the settlement called his niece to the witne Questions and answers carried charges of neglect to herself and the two chil- dren, penuriousness and cruelty. The wife told of the party at which her husband had demanded that she or- der the guests from the house, leading to the final break, and Mrs. Chaplin’s flight from the Beverly Hills mansion to the cottage of her grandparents. Hearing Soon Ends. Her mother and two girl friends fol- Jowed Mrs. Chaplin to the stand, each offering but a few words of corrob- orative testimony. Chaplin, who was not in court, w championed by Gavin McNab of Francisco, one of his counsel. Chap- lin, in providing for his wife and chil dren in the property settlement, had done more than the law would have demanded, McNab said. “Under the conditions now existing, Mr. Chaplin feels it his further du to relieve her of any shame possibly attaching, and the cross-complaint filed by him therefore is dismissed,” McNab said.
