towards the DOCTOR Inls disagreement between
the two was sufficiently serious, il would SEEM
to have led to an immediate separation.
Mrs. Hays, after leaving her home. went and
placed herself, to use her own phrase, "under the
protection" of DIR. Lutener. Apartments were
provided for her in Luteners house, at the corner
of Broadway and Grand street.
Under the circumstances as might be expected
there was great deal Of irritation on the part OF
Mr.. Hays; but after while, il is said, man and
wife became reconced, and agreed to live to-
gether again. This only proved temporary
truce, however. The quarrel at home in short
while was renewed--and il is charged by Mrs
Hays that III. repeatedly laid violent hands upon
her. Mr.. H. then had recourse to legal proceed
ings for divorce, or separate maintenance.
While these were pending, Mr. HAYS, il is said,
made proposal to his wife, that she should go
home TO her parents in England. The proposition
is said to have been listened to with favor, and ar
rangements 10 that end, were in progress, when
the death of Lutener took place.
From the moment Of the arrest, both husband
and wife have been earnest in their protestations
of innocence, and both seem equally confident in
proving an aitbi.
The death was not discovered until about eleven
o'clock, but il is not known, of course, at what
particular time the deed itself was done.
On the other hand, Mr.. Hays says he did no,
leave his house, ut Harlem, 10 come down town
until 10 O'Clock and this he is abundanty able TO
prove by numerous witnesses.
Mrs. Hays was IN the office OF legal gentle
man. at No. /, Nassau street, at ten o'clock, or a
few minutes before that time Her business there
was connected with the arrangements for going TO
England as above referred to.
Many hard things are said as TO the character OF
the deceased, and if half what is rumored be true,
the seduction Tor alleged seduction) of Mrs. Hays
was not the first affair Of the kind in which he
was engaged.
II is said, Also that some years since, he was
tried for the crime of rape, but of this we know
nothing, beyond flying reports.
