Mrs. Corey Stated That Before Her Petition For Divorce Was Filed She Negotiated Through Her Attorney a Financial Settlement Respondent'! Sister an Interesting Witness. Reno, Nev., July 31. Mrs. William Ellis Corey, wife of the president ol the United States Steel Corporation, was awarded a divorce In the second district court of Nevada yesterday The case was submitted without argu ment und the jury took but one ballot The jury was out but a few minutes. Mrs. Corey was in tears when told that she had been given a decree and the custody of her lC-year-old son Al lan Corey. She drove at once to hei home In Riverside avenue, where she says she will conynue to reside. Nc evidence was submitted by the de fense and there was no argument. The question of alimony was not In troduced. Mrs. Corey made an inter esting admission, however, touching upon this phase of the case, stating in May, 1900, several weeks before her pe tltion for divorce was filed, she nego tiated through her attorneys a finan clal settlement with her husband. "I am a resident of Reno, Nev.,' said Mrs. Corey, when placed on the stand, "and the wife of William Ellis Corey, the defendant In this action. We were married on Dec. 1, 1883, al Pittsburg, Pa., and lived together until May 1, 1905. At that time my husband deserted me and went to New York. "I followed him and held a conver sation with him in the Hotel Lorraine It was there that he told me that he had decided to live apart. He said that It was Impossible for us to live happily together and that I would never see him again. He stated that he Intended going to Europe for sev eral months. There was no scene. I talked with him about the matter and urged him to again resume his place in our home, but he refused. I have never seen him since." Mrs. Corey added that she came to Reno for her health and that she had no intention of bringing an action for divorce at the time she took up her residence in Nevada. She stated that she selected Reno upon the ndvlce ol her sister-in-law, Miss Addle Corey, that they considered this place their future home and expected to live here In the future. She stated that she was best suited for the custody of her son and asked the court to place him In her care. Mrs. Corey was visibly affected while telling her story. She testified with out evasion and In a clear voice. Her attorneys feared that she would col lapse, as her health has suffered since the separation. In his opening statement, one of his attorneys, J. R. Redding of New York, stated that she had been driven to a separation and the divorce proceed ings by the sensational stories printed In the newspapers. "Is it true that newspaper notoriety was the principal factor In your sep aration from Mr. Corey and Is respon sible for this proceeding?" asked Ben jamin Curler, one of her attorneys. "Such is not the case. The stories that may have appeared in the press had nothing to do with it," said Mrs. Corey. Miss Addie Corey, sister of the re spondent, was an Interesting witness. She corroborate! Mrs. Corey's state ment that Corey had deserted his wife and told how she and her aged mother had made several Ineffectual attempts to effect a reconciliation. Her brother, she said, had lost sight of his home, being absorbed in busi ness and infatuated with the fust life of New York. "Do you consider Mr. Corey a prop er custodian for his son?" she was asked. "I do not," ulie replied. "Why?" "For the reason," she said, "that he la not a proper person for his son to associate with. He has no home and bis associates are not fit companions for a young man of Allan's age. I do not think any New York man is fit to have charge of a boy of his age." "Do you meiin all New York men, Miss Corey?" continued the attorney. "I mean wealthy New York men." Allan Corey stated that at tho time of the parting his father called him into his office and told him that he had decided to part from his mother. "He ild I was too young to understand the reasons. He then said that my mother was a good woman and that my place was at her side." Several citizens of Reno were intro duced to establish the residence in Nevada of the plaintiff. At the conclusion of the trial, At torney Sardis Summerfield of Reno stated his client, William E. Corey, was as anxious for the decree of di vorce as his wife. "If the decree is granted," he said, "Mr. Corey will be entirely satisfied, lie has consented to this divorce. This understanding between Mr. Corey and the attorneys of Mrs. Corey wus reached some time ago." T. R. Chadhourno of Pittsburg also appeared us counsel for Mr. Corey, who was not present.
