curred here today in connection with
the domestic troubles of Andrew W.
Mellon, multi-millionaire banker of
this city, and his wifo, Nora McMullen
Mellon, member of a prlminent fam
ily of Dublin, Ireland. The question
debated today was whether Mrs. Mel

the ipublic, which her husband objects

an officer in the -British army, ie
named as co-respondent.
A law passed this year by the Penn
sylvania Legislature having a tenden
cy to become an issue In the case, was
mentioned In arguments today as to
Mrs. Mellon's right for jury trial.
Some months ago the case was
brought before the British Parliament
because, of the apparent inability of
Mrs. Mellon to secure a public trial.
According to counsel for Mellon a
public jury would be prejudicial to
public morals because of the testimo
ny to be heard.
Every possible effort has been em
ployed to keep developments in the
case a secret. Practically all the de
tails of the trouble up to this time
have been supplied by Mrs. Mellon.
Judge Evans reserved decision.
