Charles N. Welsh filed his formal answer
today In the divorce suit brought by his
wife, Mrs. Helen Gallatin Welsh. In which
suit she named Miss Kdna JlcCluro. who
was a manicurist In a Broad street hotel.
The action halted argument bofore
Judges McMIchael and Davis on the rule
taken by Mrs. Welsh for an allowance of
JCOOQ monthly alimony and a fee of $10,000
for her counsel, The argument will be re
sumed Monday. ,
Mr, Welsh Iq his answer claims that the
amount asked Is excessive and cites as "ex
travagance" on the, part of Mrs. Welsh tho
following;
"Between September 2B, 1915, nnd April
14, 1916, she purchased from one dress
maker alone' 4? dresses nncr suits nnd' had
12 others altered at a cost of more than
17200.
"I always provided for her liberally, but
never taught her extravagance. She had
been married and divorced before I met
her1 and had had years of experience In
learning tho value of inuney. She has
arbitrarily refused to let tho children visit
me oyon temporarily,"
In another part of Ills answer to his
wife's accusations, Mr, Welsh Btates that
his net yearly income s about $112,000.
Again MrrWelsh says;
"This action for divorce against me has
been brought through unfounded jealousy
and the name of an innocent young woman
has been naedlessly dragged Into It. "The

In his answer he accuses Thoma rtidg.

"J was willing to paw Thomas R.idgway
110,000.- but Mr. JUdgway would not

Tho vanguard of tho Democratic hosts

Tho natlonnl committeemen from ths
