She doesn't like to receive re-ceive her "alimony" from the woman who has supplauted her, Mrs. Helena Van Hagen, of Mt. Vernon, told Supreme Su-preme Court Justice Joseph Mor-schauer Mor-schauer in White Plains recently. "Only last week my husband sent me a check for Sol), and It was signed by that woman," she says in her separation sepa-ration suit. The woman refered to Is Ada Belle Bacon, of 40 North Eighth avenue, Mt. Vernon. Mrs. Van Hngen says her husband, Warren E. Van Hagen, chemical firm executive, is living with Mrs. Bacon and that they have been more thaD friendly for about ten years. So now Mrs. Van Hagen not only wants "reasonable alimony and counsel coun-sel fees," but she wants the payments to be made preferably by her husband directly and certainly not "through" Mrs. Bacon. The Van Hagens have three children, chil-dren, a daughter, eighteen, and two boys, fifteen and six. Mrs. Van Hagen submitted a letter let-ter written by her husband. It reads: "Dear Helena: I am willing to begin be-gin over again with some one else, throw my heart and soul Into my work and send you such money as I can earn, provided you are willing to give me a divorce. "Whelher we go forward or are completely ruined Is up to you. I have told you what I am willing to do. If you are willing to go along in this desultory way, just doing circles, I am not, and the very best thing you can do If you wish to continue this way Is to take me Into court and have me put in Jail and then go out and earn .your own living, because I am through. WARREN." |
