Watt Hardware Compfnj Pittsburg, Pa.. Dec. 20.—A remarka ble and sensational court hearing oc 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 lon is entitled to a Jury trial, open to the ipublic, which her husband objects to. Alfred George Curphey otLondon 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. RING 174 FOR WOOD.
