RECORDER LoNG's CoURr.-A fair Teutonic damsel,
rejoicing in her maiden name of Maria Katarna Alt.
hoff, was Recorder Longs most important customer
yesterday. Young and fair, with light haxen hair
and bright blue eyes, she created something of
sensation; especially as she was up on charge of
having two husbands, and being deserter to both
in other words, charged with bigamy.
The affidavit was made against her by the second
husband, Heinrich schott, of No. 14s Old Levee
street, Third District, and backed by the first hus-
tensen residing at the corner of Levee and Josephine
streets, Fourth District. The development of the
case, as far as shown, is as follows

ago, katarlna broke the honeymoon by breaking for
parts unknown. Heinrich grieved, and searched for
MS bride, but she was not to be found Last Sunday
morning he met her accidentally in front Of the Cathe
dral at jackson Square. She spurned him and at

not to be put off so. He demanded explanations !;

raved and talked of resorting to compulsory meas

a pucker of her nose and an extra curl of her
lip, told him that he need not trouble himself about
her. as she had another husband that she loved con
sderably better than him. Heinrich said no more

Christensen, by the Rev. Mr.. Hermann Pressler the
same minister whose troubles with his congregation
have since been so conspicuous before the public. To
his further astonishmen, be found Christensen per.
fectly callous, about their joint wife. She had de.
serted him shortly after marriage, and he, with the
subllmest Germanic philosophy had concluded to
" let her rip" and bothered himself no more about
her. The news that she had taken another husband
seemed neither to surprise nor excite him in the
least. He however sympath'zed with the unhappy
second husband and consented to aid him in bringing
their taithless Katarina to justice.

She did notoppose the arrest but with air of Of
Tended dignity and queenly contempt, refused to
allow any one to touch her, and walked on ahead to
the lookup. With eyes flashing fire, and her mouth
and nose expressing equal contempt for her husbands
and the police, she said nothing till the officer told
her to go on. She wanted to know where she had to

She gave the husbands one withering look of hatred
and defiance, and then, with such mien as the cap

After little while, she limbered down little, and

Mrs. Catherine Brien, of Craps street, was up at
the instance of her husband, who charged her with
being drunken vagrant. GATHERINGS defense was
beautiful. She assured the Recorder that her hns-
band had long been drunken beast that sometime
ago she had warned him if he did not reform, she
would take to drinking herself to be even with him.
This pous warning he had dsregarded, and become
greater beast than ever in consequence of which
she took to drinking, purely in selfdefense. This
argument did not satisfy the Recorder; and having
other evidence in regard to Mrs. Briens behavior,
he sentenced her to the Work House for two months
AS soon as the sentence was pronounced, Mr. O'Bren
turned eXutingy to his wife, and, forgetting where
he was, exclaimed, "There, d-n ye, that's what We
