MRS. HARRTSjSEEKsTmVORCE. Plaintiff the Late Judge,Brady's Daughter-Her Romantic Marriage to Sidney Harris. Justice Andrews, in the Supreme Court, yesterday appointed Charles P. Howland as referee in a suit for absolute divorce brought by Mrs. Katheryn Brady Harris against Sidney Harris. This suit is not a. surprise,- as It has been known that for some time Mr. and Mrs. Harris have been living apart. Mrs. Harris was the younger daughter of the late Judge John R. Brady. Her mother before her marriage was Miss Lyillg. She and her sister, Mrs. C. Albert Stevens. were great belles in New York. Mrs. Harris Is small and . an absolute contrast to her sister. Mrs. Stevens, who is tall and resembles very much the portraits of the late Duchess of Leinster. Mr. and Mrs. Sidney Harris were married in a most romantic manner about twelve years ago. Sidney Harris is the son of Mrs. Miriam Harris, who is the author of " Rutledge." once a very popular novel, and a number of other books. Her maiden name was Miriam Coles. Mrs. Harris, who was a widow, lived with her son and daughter at Southampton, where Judge Bra-ay had also a Summer place. An attachment grew between Miss Katheryn Brady and Sidney Harris, both belonging to the fashionable set at that watering place. Miss Brady was very talented, and she had a special aptitude for recitation and much dramatic fire. As a very young girl she became celebrated in amateur theatricals, and she played many leading rOles at different entertainments. Miss Bfady was maid of honor to her sister. Miss May Braay. at her wedding to the late Mr. Steveiis at Trinity Chapel twelve years ago. It was one of the most notable functions of the year. After the wedding, at the reception. Miss Brady was missing, and society was surprised the next morning to learn that she had gone out quietly with Sidney Harris and had been married at the Church of the Transfiguration. For a while the married life of Mr. and Mrs. Harris was very happy. Mr. Harris is regarded as clever, and he has succeeded very well in his profession, which is that of a lawyer. About three years ago, however, friends knew that Mr. and Mrs. Har- ' ris did not live happily together. Mrs. Harris was a great part of the time with her mother. Mrs. Brady. or with her sister, Mrs. Stevens. It was claimed by Mrs. Harris that her husband did not contribute to her support and that of their little daughter, and at one time it was that she thought seriously of going on the stage and of taking a place in John Drew's company. In fact, she did start for Chicago with that intention, but at-the last moment there was a reconciliation which was brought about by her little daughter. Last Winter Mr. and Mrs. Harris again lived apart, but they were brought together at the death of Mr. Stevens, of whom they were both very fond. For some time Mrs. Harris has been supporting herself, and she has accepted a position with Mrs. Robert Osborn, who has lately gone into business. Mrs. Harris is very independent, and has always insisted upon supporting herself, although she has many and o devoted relatives. Mr. Harris has a good practice, and Is a member of the T'nion Club. He is very with hia friends. De Lancey Nicoll is the attorney for Mrs. Harris. ASKS FOR AM ACCOUNTING. Jersey City Traction Company's Receiver Wants to Know What Became of $75,000 Bonds. E. R.

Sidney Harris, a lawyer, in opposing the application of his ex-wife, Kathryn Brady Harris, for alimony yesterday, disclosed to Supreme Court Justice Bischoff that the reason why his wife's sister, Mrs. Herbert Harriman, had cut her off from an allowance of $250 a month was displeasure over the marriage of "Jack" Barrymore to Harris's daughter, Katherine Core Harris.
BARRYMORE WEDDING STIRRED FAMILY FEUD Sidney Harris, Actor's Father-in-Law, Says He and Mrs. Herbert Harriman Opposed It. MOTHER-IN-LAW IS BLAMED Lawyer Asserts in Court Papers That Mrs. Brady Conspired to Defeat His Opposition. Sidney Harris, a lawyer, in opposing the application of his ex-wife, Kathryn Brady Harris, for alimony yesterday, disclosed to Supreme Court Justice Bischoff that the reason why his wife s sister, Mrs. Herbert Harriman, had cut her off from an allowance of $250 a month was displeasure over the marriage of "Jack" Barrymore to Harris's daughter, Katherine Core Harris. Mrs. Harris got her divorce in 1901 without alimony. Harris said that he and Mrs. [ Harriman opposed the marriage, while Mrs. Harris and her mother, the widow i of Supreme Court Justice Brady, did all in their power to bring it about. Several of his mother-in-law s letters. written from .,'ew York to her granddaughter in Paris and signed "Gabby." were included in Harris's papers. He did not say he had obtained possession of them. Airs. Brady's letters to Harris, written af.ter her daughter s divorce and signed "K. XV. Brady," also figure in the papers. Airs. Harriman is mentioned in Mrs. Brady's letters as "Play" and "Aunt May" and her letters to Harris are signed "Affectionately, ." It was the cutting off of Ills wife s allowance by her sister. Harris told Supreme Court Justice Btschoff, that led his wife, ten years after sle had divorced him, to make application for alimony. Justice. Bischoff declined to allow Mrs. Brady any alimony, although she said she had received nothing from her sister since the Barrymore and was funds He said he was convinced that Harris, who has just been appointed one of the two New York State receivers of the United x, Vireless Telegraph Company, is now financially unable to pay alimony and gave lrs. Harris leave to renew her application on suitable proof of a change in hel- husband s finances. Harris told the court that his matrimonial difficulties began after the birth of their daughter in 1890. He says his wife neglected the child as well as her wifely duties and took a great Interest in amateur theatricals, contrary to hls expressed . He said she showed a fondness for the company of men of whom he disapproved and invited to her house-one -- -bom he bad forbidden her to associate. Kissed Him Good-bye. In 1805 }Iarris was a candidate for the Assembly from the Third District of Queerfs County on the Democratic ticket. The day before the election, when he left the house he said his wife accompanied !him to the door and kissed Ilia good-bye. When he returned to tile house in the evening sle had left a note saying that [she and their daughter had gone forever. i He looked for her for several weeks and finally found her 15 a house. He said she craze for amateur theatricals, and he told her he would allow her to retain possession of their daughter only on condition that she would promise not to go on the professional stage. Contrary to that agreement, he said she joined Joan brew s C0ITlpaUy and went on a tour to the %Vest, leaving the child with her mother, tie took t,;e little girl away soon afterward. On his wife s return from ti)e West he said she visited his apartments in Stuyresent Square and made a violent scene. Her lawyer, he said, him to take her back. and he did so, living with her until 1899. He then lost heavily in the stock market and was obliged to give up his apartments in Livingston Place, and his wife s sister, now .X{rs. Herbert Harriman -- then Irs. Charles Albert Stevens -- agreed to give her $250 a month allowance. His wife then .sued for divorce and obtained a decree on June 7, 1901. lie broke his ankle in lf.X]2 and Was obliged to go to a sanitarium. In 1904 he resumed his law practice, owing .$'4,OOO which he had been obliged to borrow from tle estate of his father and $7,,)0 on a judgment. Only about $1.100 of this has been paid, he said yesterday. Harris charges that after obtaining her divorce and up to 1908 his former wire Was engaged to three different men, breaking the engagement in each case. Since 1Dl}8, he says, she has taken the position that she is still his-wife and th*at I the decree of divorce counts for nothing. i In her answering affidavit she says that in that year she became converted to the [.-Catholic faith, one of the doctrines I of which is the indissolubility of tile mar:riage tie. Contrary to his expressed [wishes, he say. she has used his name and urged bhn to live with her -- a proposal which he has declined. Since their divorce Harris says that his wife and the other members of her family have slandered him to their friends and to his business associates. These attacks he says have been without reason. Not only have they quarreled with him, he says, but have quarreled among themselves, "disregarding the rules of wari fare in polite society" and freely communicating even their about other to himself and his daughter and making him the unwilling referee o :li]elr disputes. One thing only, he says, they seem to have agreed upon, and that Is to imbue in his c:aughter tha. "love and reverence for the stage in general and good-looking actors in particular," which he attributes to his mother-in-law, wife, and sister-in-law. Some "Family Anecdotes." Regarding his mother-in-law, he says that she took pains to tell his daughter that her mother and 'Aunt May (,-Ylrs Harrlman) had * wlth actors, and that she hao encouraged them in meetings with actors and other men of whom her grandfather, the late Justice Brady, disapproved. ' The purpose of relating these "family anecdotes'' to his , z- said, was to undermine his pc, rental authority in matters of the heart. In February, 1910, Harris says that his daughter met a "well-known actor." In no case in his own papers does he refer to his son-in-law, Jack Barrymore, by name. The name appears only in the letters written by the women folk. He always refers to Barrymore as "the said actor." He was not informed of the -' ne ,said, until the affair had made several weeks' progress, and his daughter ' believed she reciprocated" the affections of the "ald actor." Harris then had his daughter sent to Paris. In the meantime, he said, his wile and her mother had several interviews with the ' said actor" and were helping him. He accuses his wife of having arranged his daughter s ' flight from Paris" in connection with "a New gork milliner" who is not named. During this time, he says, his -in-law was writing her granddaughter letters, of which he submits samples, une or nem, Colltinned On Page 2, BARRYMORE WEDDING STIRRED FAMILY FEUD from 1.
