Witnesses Frees Ireland Called.
Within the last week five men. all
from Ireland, have berri In Pittsburg
giving testimony. In the case. One Is
said to be the proprietor of a famed
Irish hostelry. Those, witnesses were
brought Into rittsburg and taken
away so quietly that nothing wu
known of their visit here until they
bad returned to New York,
Mr. and Mra. Mellon separated In
the Autumn of 1909. It was reported
that Mrs. Mellon was weary of
"smoky Pittsburg."
Mrs. Mellon. It was said, longed to
he buck in her rleasant English home.
When they separated this husband al- i
lowed her the annual income on 1350.- i

Poon after their separation Mr. Mel- !
Ion sued for absolute divorce. He
named n co-res oondent Alfred George ,
Curphcy. a young officer In the Brltis
army and a member of a wealthy and
highly esteemed English family. Mr.
Mellon charged that his wife had for
gotten her marriage vows while on
board the steamship Kalserln Augusta i
Victoria in January. 1903. He maae
other accusations as to April of the
same year In Paris, London. New York
and Pittsburg.
Wife Makes Determined - Klght.
Mra. Mellon denied these charges and
demanded a trial by Jury, blie con
tested every phase of the case, fighting
bitterly first to prevent the appoint
ment of a master to hear the case. The
action of Mellon' attorneys to have
the caso advanced on the list for an
early trial and the appointment of a
master to go to England and France
to take testimony were bitterly con
tested In court by Mrs. Mellon.
Young Curphey came to this country
last Hummer, aa he said, "to demand
an apology from Mellon." Curphey
and hla friend. Dr. Thomaa W. "Kerk-
brlde, of the English army, who came
to teatify for Mra. Mellon, were taken
In custody at the Ritx-Carlton, charged
with obstructing Justice. In Pitts
burg Curphey had been summoned to
appear before Mellon"s lawyers to give
testimony. The affair was arranged.
Mora than a year ago the question
of the possession of the children was
taken In the Orphans' Court and af- i
ter the hearing Frauleln Bertha Meyer I
was appointed guardian of the chll- ,
dren and the parents were permitted
to visit them during' alternate weeka.
An appeal to the Superior Court taken
by Mra. Mellon from the decision waa
abandoned and was not argued at the
recent sitting of that court. i
