"Mrs. Gazzam Gets Her Divorce."

  Philadelphia, June 8 - Mrs. Annie Reading Gazzam obtained in Common Pleas
Court, No. 3, today a decree of divorce from ex-State Senator Joseph M.

Gazzam.  Both are well known in society circles in this city, New York, and
Pittsburg, and Mr. Gazzam is one of the most prominent figures in the business
and legal circles of Pennsylvania.

  The domestic troubles that culminated in today's decree are of five or six years
standing, although no active proceedings were taken in the matter until about a
year ago, when Mrs. Gazzam made an application for an absolute divorce.
  The testimony was taken quietly before a Master, and all possible means were
used to avert publicity.  Very little scandal was developed in the testimony, and
Mr. Gazzam interposed little objection to the final determination of the case, both
sides resting upon the old plea of incompatibility of temper.

HEADLINE...

"PUTS HER HATRED IN HER WILL..."

Mrs. Gazzam, leaving $1,250,000, tells her daughter to shun her father.

In the will of the late Mrs. Mary Anna Reading Gazzam of Cornwall-on-Hudson is
shown the hatred she had for the husband she divorced many years ago, and

whom she never forgave.  The clause in the will by which she leaves her estate
of $1,250,000 to her daughter, Antoinette Elizabeth Gazzam, directs that the
executors and guardian of her child shall guard against her over coming under
the care or influence of the father.

"I most solemnly charge and direct the  executor and the guardian of my beloved
daughter Antoinette Elizabeth Gazzam, that they guard and protect her from
coming at any time or in any manor under the care of or within the influence of or
into the personal or social contact of her father, John Joseph M. Gazzam," the
clause reads.

Mrs. Gazzam, who died a few weeks ago, had been the principal in a number of
lawsuits.  She was at one time defendant in a sensational suit, being charged
with having alienated the affections of her cousin, R. Charles Reading, from his
wife.  Mrs. Gazzam was forced to pay $25,000 damages finally, although she
fought the case from one court to another for years.

John Joseph Gazzam was formerly a State Senator in Pennsylvania.  After her
divorce, Mrs. Gazzam brought an action against her husband to compel him to
make an accounting for $500,000 belonging to the estate of her father, which he
had managed and controlled for many years.  In this suit she fought her former
husband bitterly.

Miss Gazzam, who is the chief beneficiary under the terms of the will, is to be
married to the Rev. A. H. Robinson, a Unitarian minister of Newburg.  She lived
with her mother at their country home ever since the divorce proceedings.  She
made a solemn promise to her mother prior to her death that she would never
have anything to do with her father, who has again married and is living in
Philadelphia.
