Special Cable to The Tribune. BERLIN, July 18. No secret Is any longer made of the fact that divorce di-vorce proceedings between the daughter of the German "coal king," Herr von Frledlander-Fuld, and her husband of six months, the Hon. John Freeman-Mitford, son of Lord Redesdale,, are now imminent. Both sides have already placed their cases In the hands of counsel. The divorce is sought by the bride. Reasons of many kinds are being gossiped gos-siped about in Berlin society, but the actual grounds of the forthcoming suit have not yet been made public. The "coal kins," when asked In regard to them, simply replies that his daughter decided to leave her husband. Mr. Freeman-Mitford returned to Berlin from England a few days ago evidently for the purpose of defending the suit, which wiil, of course, be tried before the German courts. A "sensational divorce" di-vorce" case from the point of view of the public is not likely, because it is usual, on the reo.ue.st of either side, for the court to decide to hold the proceedings proceed-ings in camera. Under such circumstances circum-stances t is illegal for the newspapers to publish any account of the testimony or even to give the verdict. |
