New York, Dec. *’.--If reports be
true, James J. Corbett, champion pu
gilist. will soon be made the defendant
in an action for absolute divorce. The
exposure of Corbitt’s relations with
Mrs. Hattie Clark of this city, followed
by thejrablication of letters written to
Mrs. Clark by Corbett, iu which he ad
dresses her in the most endearing terms,
is said to he the incentive.
Mrs. Corbett has been living at the
Hotel Vendomo for some time past. It
is said that she has not lieen on friendly
terms with her liusliand for two
months. William A. Brady. Corliett’s
manager, said the champion had been
dreading the publication of liis^ letters,
and that he was '‘all broke up.” He
could not say whether Corbett expected
a divorce suit, but lie thought lmnself
that he would probably have to answer
to one.
