New York, April 1..—Mrs. Henry Siegel, who is suing her husband, head of the failed Siegel enterprises, for a divorce, issued a statement yesterday attacking her husband’s business deal- ings. Mrs. Siegel signed the state- ment in the office of her lawyers, Rockwood & Haldame, 60 Broadway. 1 It is as follows: There have been so many misstate- ments in the public press recently, not only concerning my divorce action, but concerning my prior status, that I feel called upon to make the fol- lowing corrective statement: I came to New York to visit my first husband’'s cousins, Mr. and Mra. George Coiton Chase, wholesale tea importers of Front street, who were well known both socially and finan- cially, and at whose luxurious home on West Eighty-fifth street Mr. Slegel and I were married on April 24, 1898. I was first introduced to Mr. Siegel by friends at a dinner party. Fe never offered, nor did I accept, em- ployment in his stores. My married life with Mr. Siegel was full of trials and tribulations. Suffice it to say that I endeavored in every way to guard and protect him from his own weaknesses and his lack of considera- tion for the feelings and rights of others. Had Warned Him. Several years ago I learned inciden- tally ‘of the dealings of Henry Siegel with the moneys of depositors in his bank, and I immediately remonstrated and warned him, as I thought it was my duty to do, that he was “facing Jail.” He raged like a madman and treated me shamefully—worse, if pos- s:ble, than ever. This continued for several weeks, when he finally changed his attitude toward me, and at a dinner party at which Mr. Frank Vogel was present he made light of my predictions and endeavored to con- vince me that I had been misled and misinformed, and that I was unjustly suspecting him, whereas he was a noble and honest citizen, seeking only the welfare and advantage of those with whom he was connected. Thereafter Mr. Siegel continued again to mistreat me in a variety of | him into extravagances., both here and ways, which it is not necessary now to divulge, and continually suggestcd that we should be separated, and from what I have learned in the last six weeks, I now believe that he was ac- tuated throughout with the evident in- tention of having me leave the coun- try, so that T would not divulge in- formation of his illegal operations or reproach him further with my sug- gestions concerning the same. In any event, I finally left for Paris upon his express promise and agreement (o provide for me. This promise was kept for a time and then discontinu- ued, and upon the fact of the sit- uation it looks as though I was in the same position as'any other cred- itor. Statement Is False. The statement made by Mr. Siegel and others in the public press that he had furnished me with vast moneys and that I wasted his funds and led abroad, is all absolutely without foun- dation. I am practically without any money or property whatsoever, and have been compelled to institute this divorce action in order to protect my rights and to place the matter before the courts, so that my rights as a wife may be determined and enforced. My books will show and I have only one set, that in no year, even when Mr, Siegel was accredited with having an income exceeding several hundred thousand dollars a year, did he give me over $24,000 a vear with which to maintain the expenses of his elaborate establishments. From what I have now learned from the information in my possession, it is very evident that Mr. egel has spent large sums of money upon va- rious women of his acquaintance, and I think an investigation of his per- | “losses” { made settlements DAY, APRIL 1, There Is More Pleasure To be gotten out of a cozy home properly equipped and decorated than there is in a thousand miles of travel in a foreign land.

The pretense by Mr. Siegel that he lost a lot of money in mines has no relevancy in the present proceedings, as such loss, if it occurred, was at leasf more than ten years ago. . Has Other Investments. I believe that it will ultimately be found that Mr. Siegel very large stock investments corpora- tions other than the mercantile com- panies directly controlled by him, and while he has had a large income from these and other investments, he has throughout been decidedly parsimon- ious with me, as all of my friends well know. Mr. Siegel attempts to account for some of his so-called by the statement that he upon my daughter on their marriages. This is absolutely untrue. He settled on neither girl one pénny, but he gave some fine promises. Not only did Mr. Siegel fail to make such settliient on our married daughters, 'but on the contrary, in- duced my son-in-law's family to invest in his bankrupt enterprises every loose penny they had, and, secondly, irduced them, as they owned extensive olive orchards, to sign a seven-year- contract to ship all the oil they could produce. They went into business on the strength of this contract, bor- rcwed money from the Sectional bank, undertook tremendous financial re. sponsibilities, and it was subsequently recessary for them to sue him before he would pay them a cent three years after the first shipment.

If it were in | my power, 1 would gladly restore to these poor people their losses, but, ap- sarently, I am left in the same situa- tion financially. Siegel Won't Reply. Mr. Siegel was informed of the statement of his wife in his room at the Hotel Majestic. When he was told that she had said she knew of his “crooked” wuse of the depositors’ money, he replied. “Why, yvou don’t mean it!"” Asked If he would reply wife's charge, Mr. Siegel have nothing to sa: Stanchfield & Lev counsel for Slegel and for Vogel also, were in- fcrmed of the charges made against | Siegel by his wife, but Louis S. Levy, who personally has been representing Siegel, declined to discuss the matter. He sent word that he “had not heard about it.”” That answer likewise was made to questions whether Mrs. Sie- gel's claims for alimony, should they be granted, would have priority over the claims of the mercantile creditors and_the bank depositors, and whether Siegel had been served in the suit for divorce. Mrs. Siegel's suit will not affect in ary way the depositors’ money in the hands of Henry Melville, receiver of bankers, accord- ing to Joseph M. Proskauer, counsel for the receiver. Mr, Proskauer said that he was able to make an unquali- fied statement to that effect. his wp to said: Russell Best Butter 32c 1b. Bros are curable. Allkinds mean suffering and danger.
