‘« { WIFE DIVORCES “COUNT” WARD. Society Leader Gets Decree in Secret from Wealthy Hus- band Known in Paris as “the Copper King.” (KNOWN HERE AND ABROAD. Divorce, ike murder, wil out, the lawyers say. Despite efforts at eecrecy by, eminent counsel, alded by the rules of vqurt sealing up all papers the read- ing of which mlght corrupt public mor- als, and the custom of omitting given names in ali legal references to law cases, it has leaked out that Edyth Neweoomb Ward has been freed by di- vorce from Reginald Henshaw Ward, known on two continents as “Count Ward.” Edward G. Whitaker was the referee in “Ward vs. Ward," and on his report that the evidence warranted a divorce to the daughter of H. Victor Newcomb from the brilliant great-grandson of the famous Revolutionary soldier, Gen. Ar- temas Ward, Judge Fitzgerald granted fan interlocutory decree two weeks ago and “ordered the papers sealed.” It 1s said that the evidence before Referee Whitaker related to the doings of the young banker, once hailed abroad as the “Copper King,” in Paris, A young man from tho office of Wellman & Gooch pressed the suit for Mrs. Ward, while Jbhn Vernon Bouvier stood for the hus- band, who, being In London, did not come over the ocean for the hearing. Rumors of Weddings. The Wards have been estranged, r at loast have lived apart, for a long time, and rumors of a divorce have arisen from time to time. Society g0s- sips have even gone so far as to s lect new partners for both. Rumor has it that Mrs. Ward is to wed Nathaniel Gibbs Ingraham, of this city, after the three months’ ‘‘interlocutory’’ period, and that “Count” Ward will make the Dowager Lady Howe his second wife, although ho is forbidden by the decree ever to marry again. ‘To those who know the history of the Newcombs this dissolution of Edyth's murriage will seem but another chapter in a tragic ory. Her grandfather, Herman D. comb, son of one of Kentucky's leading familles, was atten- tive to a Miss Reed, who sent for him from what was supposed to be her death bed, In Loulsville.
