STMS OUT ML
NIGHT; DIVORCED
Wife Violates Agreement to
Give Up Association With
Another Man.
NEW YORK. Oct. 14.—0 n the
ground that his wife violated het agree
ment not to stay out all night and re
fused to give up her associations with
Robert E Parker, Erwin R. Graves, for
merly a New York stock broker, resid
ing in White Plains, has obtained a di
vorce from Mary Ann Graves, who now
has a residence in New York city. The
decree was handed down by Supreme
Court Justice .Morschauser at White
Plains.
Graves was mar ried November 2. 1904.
and the couple maintained an expensive
establishment in Old Mamaroneck road.
White Plains. Graves produced yvit
nesses that Mrs. Graves was seen in
September and October of 1910 at a
hotel in Elmsford with Parker, and that
i in November of that year they were
together in New York city.
Mrs. Graves told her husband's at-
■ torneys last August she would be at the
Astor house and they might serve her
with papers there, but she would not
tell them where she lived.
That Mr. Graves knew something of
his wife's actions is shown by the fact
that he exacted the following written
promise from her under date of August
12. 1910,:
"I hereby promise Ernie that if I over
again stay out all night or go to sec
, Mr. Parker, it will be because I want
him. Ernie, to kill himself. PETE."
The evidence showed that "Pete" was
the name Graves used in addressing his
wife.
The suit was undefended, and it was
said Mrs. Graves wanted het husband
to get the divorce, a* she told his at
torneys that if he was a man he would
do so. She said at that time she want
ed to remarry’ and go to Honolulu. She
also told Graves' lawyers she had given
the best years of her life to her hus
band and now had found some one more
congenial
Glaves has been seen in White Plains
since his wife left her home, and, ap
parently. he keenly felt the disgrace
that came upon him.
