of Mrs. W. Ellis Corey that there would
positively l.e no divorce or even a separa?

decision having been reached to-day after
negotiations between friends of both In

iv.-tn brought about for the sak.* of Allen
\V. Corey, only son of tin? Coreys. n lud
of sixteen, whose, future they do not wish
to bo clouded by the shadow o"f a broken
home.
Mrs. Corey Is still with lier husband's
father, and will probably make her home
here, where she was born. There will
bo no formal st-ttlenient. It Is said, but
Mr. Corey will make ample provisions
for lils wife and son.
It Is declared that the Coreys have
been at odds for a long time upon mat?
ters other than Mr. Corey's fancy for
Miss Oilman.
He who thinks of to-day alone sel

Midshipman Takes Stand and
Makes Statement That May
Ameliorate His Case.
(By Associated Press.)
ANNAPOLIS, MD., January 33.?The last
?la?es, except the argument of counsel
and of tho Jud??j advocate, wero com?
pleted this afternoon In Hie case of
Midshipman Stephen Decatur, Jr., charged
before a naval court martial, with haz?
ing. Tho accused occupied the stand for
about tliruo quarters of an hour, and
his testimony Is regarded as having
strengthened the case.
Decatur was questioned as to the facts
In regard to all the specifications al?
leged against him. As to the first spo?
liation alleging that on or about Novem?
ber, 13 ho sent Fourth classfan C. S.
Roberts to a room In which were up?
per classmen with the message "If she
hud been a. dog do you think she would
have donr, It in this way?" Decatur
said, *"I ?lid not send such a message."
Ills counsel then asked him about tho
circumstances connected with the bring?
ing of breakfast to him by Charles C.
W. Mall ley, of the fourth class.
De.-ntur said that he had met XIallley
early in the academy year and liked him.
Mallley 'brought breakfast to him a num?
ber of times. Decatur continued:
"I never gave any order for him to
do It and did not understand It In that
way at all. X never thought of punishing
him In any way for failure and supposed
that ho brought the food 3>ecause ha
liked me as I liad befriended him in some
ways. I have never hazed him. In any
form whatever."
As to the last specification, which was
tho only one under tho act of 3904, In
which "encouraging or countenancing
hazing" t? made a dismissal offence. De?
catur sni.l he did not ltnow what .Church
had done when sent Into the closet and
did not order him there. Tho court ad?
journed until to-morrow.

HAS MORGAN LEASED
A flESIDEHCE HERE ?
Mr. John P. Branch Refuses to
Confirm or Deny the
Rumor. .
The report circulated yesterday that
Mr. J. Plcrpont Morgan was seeking to
lease "Westbrook." the country estate
of tho luto Major Lewis Glnter, for uso
during the Episcopal convention In 1W7,
seems to bo without foundation.
Mr. Jcffress. tho representative of the
hoirs of Major ?Inter- is In New York,
but others who are in a position to know
say that Mr. Morgan bos not leased the
place.
Bishop Gibson was seen last night and
asked If the report were true. He te
plled that ho knew nothing of It. Ho said
ho know Mr. Morgan, whose habit was
to rent a house In the dry where tho
Episcopal convention was being held for
tho entertainment of his friends.
Bishop Gibson said that Mr. Morgan
| had not notified him of his plans.
I It was rumored on the stroets that Mr.
Morgan had requested Sir. John P.
Branch to find him a large house In Rleh
' tuond for use during the convention, and
I that Mr. Branch had commissioned a real
estate firm to secure one.
Mr. Branch, when seen last night, would
neither confirm nor deny the rumor. Ha
said that his ndvlco to Mr. Morgan would
he to tako rooms at the Jefferson Hotel,
which would be rebuilt by the timo tho
Episcopal convention met.
"Has Mr. Morgan leased 'Westbrook?"
asked The Times-Dispatch man.
"Not to my knowledge," replied Mr.
Branch.
"Are you looking out for a house for
htm?" next asked the newspaper man.
"? have nothing to say to that ques?
tion." was the reply.
"Has Sir. Morgan asked you to secure
htm a house?"
"I cannot answer that question," was
Mr. Branch's answer.
A telegram sent to New "Vork failed
to secure any Information regarding the
matter.
