Mellon, the millionaire banker of Pittsburg, against his wife, who is an English London woman. Kirkbride, who is a member of the British army reserve, came to this country in Mrs. Mellon's behalf with hie friend Curphey, who was named as co-respondent by Mellon. DISREGARDED SUMMONS COMING TO NEW YORK. Curphey made several attempis to see Mellon tn Pittsburg to demand an apology for bringing his name into the case and also to defend the name of Mrs, Mellon. While in Pittsburg the two men were trailed night and day by detectives in the employ of Mellon, Finally they were served with sum- monses to appear in the office of M: Jon's attorneys and make a deposition. ‘They disregarded the summons, com- ing to New York June 15, and while at the Rits-Cariton Hotel were ar- rested by Detectives Curry and Raftis oa instructions from Pittsbu They were held in $2,000 ball and had to spend a few uncomfortable hours late that night in Judge Mulqueen's chambers while search wae made for ball. Curphey’s main idea in coming from England, he sald, was to be made co- defendant as well as co-respondent, so that a jury trial could be secured for Mrs. Mellon. It hae been openly charged that the millionaire Pittsburg husband, through his influence, necured the passage of @ law in Pennoylvania denying jury trials in divorce cases. The law was drawn so that it exactly fitted the Mellon case, CAME EAST TO CONSULT HIS LAWYERS, Curphey says that the reason he eame to New York at the time of re- celving the summons from Mellon's lawyers waa to consult with his at- orneys, Hornblower, Miller & Potter, i} I ownstairs wv aid Be’ nad no Idea in being & fucking | #2 that God-kissed land 1s prolife in the effulgence of Its treasured glorien Ae bya Srey Std, Son spdinhl ped from justice.
