The alleged escapades of Wilbur G.
Bodamer, who is being sued by Isabella
M. Bodamer for absolute divorce
on the allegation that he ran away to
Boston, Mass., with a woman by the
name of Williams, were exploited in
special term of supreme court yesterday
afternoon, when an application
was made for counsel fees and alimony
during the pendency of the case. Judge
Wheeler, before whom the motion was
made, allowed the woman $30 counsel
fees and $3 a week alimony.
Bodamer is alleged to have eloped
with the Williams woman while employed
as a taxlcab driver. His wife
avers that he became acquainted with
the co-respondent while working
nights.
The couple were married eight years
ago and lived happily, it is claimed,
until about two months ago when the
alleged misconduct on the part of Bodamer
was discovered by his wife.
The papers filed with the county clerk
yesterday afternoon set up the claim
that Bodamer returned to the cityafter
his trip to Boston and obtained
employment with a taxicab company,
which paid him $12.50 a week and tips.
Bodamer has entered a general denial
of the allegations contained in
the summons and complaint and will
contest the action.
It is said that an effort was made to
settle the differences of the couple
out of court by a compromise, but it
proved unsuccessful.
Neither party to the action, it is
believed, objects strongly to the granting
of the decree of divorce, but the
question of alimony and counsel fees
could not be settled to the satisfaction
of both people.
The case will be tried at the next
term of equity court. Mrs. Bodamer
alleges that her husband is worth $2,-
000 and has a quarter interest in a
motor boat.
