Mme. Galli-Curci to Review Unhappy Married Life of Eleven Years.
CHICAGO, Jan. 5.—Amelita Galli-Curci probably will be the first witness to testify this afternoon in the hearing of her suit for divorce before Judge Charles A. McDonald in superior court.
The famous opera singer will tell of an unhappy married life extending over a period of eleven years. They were married in Rome, where he was an itinerant artist and she a singer of minor operatic roles.
The now famous opera singer charges her husband with infidelity, mentioning a Melissa Brown, village belle of Fleischmanns, N. Y., where the Curci summer home is located. Among many depositions presented in the case is one by the Brown woman telling of trips into the Catskill mountains with Curci, his brother and Mary Rinaldi. She also told of parties at the Curci summer home.
Curci, before his wife started the divorce proceedings, instituted suit for $250,000 damages against Homer Samuels, accompanist to Mme. Curci, and Charles L. Wagner, her business manager, alleging they alienated his wife's affections.
In answer to the divorce complaint, Curci declared his wife was also unfaithful, mentioning Samuels in this connection. He attacked the suit on the grounds that it could not be brought in the United States because of laws of Italy and a treaty with the United States.
