STAYS OUT ALL NIGHT JIM Wife Violates Agreement to Give Up Association With Another Man. NEW YORK. Oct. 14.—0 n the ground that his wife violated her 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 Yprk 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 married November 2. 1904. and the couple maintained an expensive establishment in Old Mamaroneck road. White Plains. Graves produced wit 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 het . with papers there, hut she wrnuld 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 ever again stay out all nifjht or go to see ’ 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 her husband to get the divorce, as 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.
