John C. OMmlxon, attorney for the Prince, had mi hand a batch of letters written by "Mme. tJouraud," as she, wns described, to the Prince, In which she called hlin "Honey Darling." It was a-serted that the letters were written when the Princess waa at the Hotel Chelsea In Atlantic City, and her hus band and foster daughter were at Kdge merc. I... I., near enough to see each other da-.ly The letters refer some what approvingly to the Prince's attach ment for Yvonne, and would seem to bear out the Prince's contention that his wlfo Planned to dUorce him secretly and have him wed her foster daughter.
