Two weeks ago tomorrow (Sunday). Dion walked from Olneyville, R. I, to Eim- ville. This was the day after the first big snowstorm. The roads were bad- ly drifted—almost impassable—but Dion, his feet clad only in leightweight shoes and rubbers, managed to cover the 25 miles after many hours on the way. Thai night he noticed that his feet ‘weTe probably frostbitten, but he did not give much attention to the mat- ter. He continued to work for a week and his feet continued to grow worse. ‘This week the great toe on his right foot had become swollen to nearly four times normal size and after a visit to a physiciean he was advised to go to the hospital for treatment Just how ‘seriously Dion will permanently suffer from the results of his bitter experi- ence will not be known for some time.

Van vmh. divorce from Phillp Van a New Ym society mn m‘ familiar nul. in the lor cnn )'rl- day afternoon, Milton e ass that one looked at the ¢ “widow” she was a figure of special interest for the small number of very interested persons who heard the tes. timony in the case and obtained an inkling of how her husband grew neg- ligent of her charms and went to live apart from her a few weeks after their age, ¥ Mrs, Van Valkenburgh was gowned in a modish frock of olive green and her daifity pumps and silk hosiery were of shades to match.; She wore a chic black hat but severely plain, of small shape with a single pink rose for trimming. Claiming Pomfret as her residence, Mrs. Van Valkenburgh was entitled to Sue for her divorce in Connecticut. She testified that she had claimed Pomfret as her home since the death of her first husband, Mr. Chapman, in 1907, and that she was attracted to the fashionable country place by rea- Pplace her then five-year-old son in one of the private schools there, and, in- cldentally, because the income tax laws of Connecticut at that time were more favorable to her interests than' were those of the state 8f New York. Although she has traveled extensive- ly since the first time she came to Pomfret, she always registered wher- ever she might be, she said, from Pomfret, but has been away from that place the greater part of the time. Married in Greenwich. Her marriage to Mr. Van Valken- burgh took place at Greenwich, Con November 23, 1909. After the wed- ding dinner she went with her hus- band to the St. Regis hotel, New York, where they had apartments reserved for the time that they were to re- main in New York before starting on their honeymoon trip to Egypt, Which trip was never taken, as,® Mrs. Van Valkenburgh stated, her husband eventually objected to going. Waman Telephoned on Wedding Night Tears filled the eyes of the plaintiff as she told of an experience on the night of her wedding when the tele- phone bell in their apartments at the St. Regis rang. Mrs. Van Valken- burgh answered the call and a wo- man’'s voice inquired for her husband Other testimony given by witness In- dicated that the voice heard over the wire was that of a woman and that she had been an intimate friend of Van Valkenburgh, according to her claim, for several years past. She wanted $30,000 as balm to soothe her wounded feelings over ihe marriage of Mr. Van Valkenburgh. Mrs. Van Valkenburgh deeded a piece of property valued at $66,000 away at this time, to raise the money needed in connec- tion with this development, she tes- tified. Learned of Another Affinity. In January after her marriage, Mrs. Van Valkenburgh learned of her hus- d being at dinner at another hotel fl'n"n the St. Regis with another wo- man, From that time they occupied separate apartments at their hotel and Mr. .Van Valkenburgh left an order with the hotel management that he would no longer be responsible for the bills she contracted there—saying that she spent too much monmey. Although they continued to live at the St. Regis she did not see her husband for many months and during the summer he packed his trunks and started for Europe, Their Final Interview, On the night before the Titanic sank, having learned that he had re- turned from Europe on the Lusitania, she wrote to him and invited him to come and see her. He did not come, but subsequently an interview was ar- ranged. At the close of this, she said, Mr. Van Valkenburgh put her in her car. He was very pleasant and kissed her, hand as she was about to be driven away. She invited him to come to Pomfret, but he never did so. She said she had not lived with him since January, 1910, and that she never talk- ed with him after the close of the interview noted. Sued Husband for $100,000. Mrs. Van Valkenburgh told of bring- ing a suit against her husband after she had been apart from him for more than that length of time for a -sum sufficient to meet the expense that she had been to for her maintenance for two yvears. The suit was for $100,000. An attempt was made by the counsel engaged by herself and Mr. Van Val- kenburgh to bring about a reconcili- | ation between the two, but this was unsuccessful. Following these unsuc- (ensful efforts the suit mentioned was suijuulpd without trial, Mrs. Van Val- kenburgh receiving a satisfactory cash consideration, just how much was not | stated, Plaintiff Wept. At various times during her testi- mony Mrs. Van Valkenburgh wept and buried her face in her dainty lace handkerchief. She talked very rapid- ly in answer to the questions of the court or counsel and at times when under unusual stress of emotion her replies were barely audible. From all the testimony of Mrs. Van son of the fact that she wished to. :.."5:'."‘ LT Attorn umrd Lauterbach. s v 4 ber of the New York g d‘?«;‘;‘;ey t 19 that Van Vi iburgh ‘wan llve with his wife ugn.ln and quoting Mr, Van Valkenburgl saying that he was willing that hll “wife should have a divorce; that she might go to Reno and get one if she cared to do 0. - Decres Granted. Judge Shumway made some In- quiries as to various features of the case. The decree was granted on_the ground of desertion. Mrs. Van Val- kenburgh left on the afternoon ex- press for New York and is to sail from that city next Wednesday en- Toute for Egypt. . MRS. V'CTOR HOULE FREED. Putnam Wife Granted Diverce Grounds -of Intemperance Cruelty, Another divorce granted Friday was that to Mrs. Agnes Houle of Eim street this city, from Victor Houle, now res- ident in Fall River. This divorce was on the ground of intemperance and intolerable crueity. Mre. Houle testi- fled that she married Houle in Hyde Park, January 4, 1898. Previous to that time and for a number of years she had been employed as a servant in the household of a prominent mem- ber of the faculty of Harvard univer- sity. Her maiden name was Agnes Cantin. .
