While at| Myscowa, the World war broke out with actual hositilities in Myscows which is a small town near the border line between What was then Russian- | Poland and Austria-Hungary. | After repeated letters to her hus- band brought no reply she secured a passport into Russia-Poland. Soldiers | of Austria-Hungary were suspicious | and threatened to interne her. This \they did not do, however, but they in- sisted upon her return to Myscowa &here she remained practically all during the war. 7 I"or a long time after the signing| of the armistice and the declaration | of peace, conditions remained substan- | tially the same at Myscowa as during the war and she was unable to leave | the city. She wrote to her husband's| sister at Bogus to tell of the errand she was on, and a reply stated that| lier husband’s father had died. | Left Financially Stranded At Bogus, she and her slster—in—lawj wrote to her husband, but no answe was received., She rolurngd to My cowa, In the meantime her money, | which was in kronen, had depreciated | until she was practically without| funds and unable to purchase trans-| portation back to the United States, | Letters to inform her husband of her financial condition brought no replies.

At the trial Leon- ardy said his wife had threatendd any tin to go away and return to, the old country, He testified that his wife's brother told him she was some- | where in Europe with relatives, but| he had no knowledge of her exact whereabouts, Witnesses were produc- ed 1o show that Eva had planned to! leuve her husband and that she did 1ot ey im. @he divorce was granted, | Pelvifiry 28, 1081, - Alleges Wiltul Fraud The plaintiff claims that in his al- | Jegationg and statements before the| superior court, ‘the defendant com-| | much of his time in Europe, |as often a8 he is in New York.” | | Austrian Relief From mitted ul fraud and imposition on the court and obtained the judgment wrongfully and fraudulently, She al- leges that Victoria was a party to the fraud.
