do so by a Supreme i'ourt order,
eagerness of the investigators to

fact that it wonld seres as h key to

ARMY-NAVY GAME,
'13. IN FAMILY ROV
Husband Took Another Womar
Says Wife. Also Accusing
Miss Phoebe Snow.
The Army and Navy football game B
1911 figures in the separation suit file
in the Supreme Court coincident wit
ths 1911 game by Mr?. Kvelyn M. Stuai
against John Boss Stuart, an enginee
employed by the American Steel Foond
rie? Company.
Mrs. Stuart says that on the day o
the game two years ago her husbani
came home to their apartment at th?
Hotel Imperial and told her she hat
better go back to her parents, as h<
hart decided to attend the game witr
another woman. The other woman
not mentioned by Mrs. Stuart, was not
?l e only one to attract Stuart, accord?
ing to his wife, who quotes him as
saying: "You needn't think you are tht
only girl I can get. I can get lots oi
girls prettier and younger than you."
Mrs. Stuart recites in her complaint
a long list of cruel and inhuman
he endured since her mai
nage, In 1911, in Michigan City, [nd,
Most of th?he acts, it is alleged, wir?
committed by Stuart when under the
influence of liquor.
The couple come to New York in 1912
to make their home at 790 Riverside
Drive, It il related by Mr? Stuart
that one day. after she returned Lome
from a visit to two restoorool
found h?-r husband, unexpectedly re?
turned from out of town. Stuart in
-isted on nccomp.nying her to the
places she had visited. At each he
shouted to the doorman: "This is mv
wife," and asked whether Mrs. Stuar'
had really been there. Thi?, ?h* lays,
greatly humiliated her. Other lost
of cruel treatment charged by Mrs.
Stuart took place at the Hotel hal
fonte. In Atlantic City, and at Conven'
Court, in this city.
The ?nd came when Stuart, accord?
ing to hi* wife, boasted of his friend
?1 m with Ph'tbe Snow, who, he said.
was more intelligent than his wife.
Hi. wife, he said, had a mind "like
vo.ir maid." Stuart denies his wife'?
charge . sod says he should have the
decree of separation, for which he ac?
cordingly asks.
