Into an hour's session of Judge ‘Walter Guerin's court, at which Mrs. Chaplin played the leading part, were rolled the final gestures to the eight months of marital strife. Chaplin was not present. A property settlement reached out of court was announced by Ed- win E. McMurray, chief counsel for the suing wife, and Mrs. Chaplin made her own routine case of cruel- ty from the witness stand. A few corroborative witnesses were sworn, testified briefly and the decree was granted. In Trust For Children A year must elapse before Bnal decree is awarded. The agreement between Chaplin and his wife provides for the cre- ation of a trust fund of $200,000, tha income to be paid Mrs. Chaplin for the support and education of the children. The principal is to go to the children when the younger at- tains the age of 35. The trust fund is in addition to the $625.000 Chaplin agreed to pay Mrs. Chaplin. Tt was understood that Chaplin also agreed to pay $10,000 as expenses of his wife during their separation; $22,000 as receiver's costs and fees; $2100 court costs and $1000 a month for the support. maintenance and education of the children for a period of five years pending settling up of the trust fund. Mrs. Chaplin will receive $375,000 of the total award at once in cash, reliable reports said, the remainder to be paid her over a period of three years, as follows: On September 1, the 1928, $100,000; Beptember 1, 1929, $100,000 and on | Beptember 1, 1930 the balance of $50,000.
