| THE PLAINTIFF 4 LONE, UNPROTECTED WOMAN.
1t will be incumbent on US TO chow to you by PROOF
who she s 1t will appear that she is native OF New
York or Brooklyn. Her parents both are dead. Her
father was a worthy and conspicuous member OF the
Methodist Church, well known and respected by his
| neighbors in Brooklyn as citizen, and enjoying
license to preach and exhot in the church OF @meh he
| was a member, though pursuing secular business
during the days Of the week He died some ten years
ago. his wife having died before him. The plaintiff is
now as she has been for several years, without any
| near male relative.
She is without wealth. or wealthy friends, and is
doubtless much perplexed 10 meet the pecunary
demands to which the has been subjected by the man
ner in which she has been driven BY the defendant to
prosecute this suit in order TO avert the blow designed
| BY him for her temporal damnation.
1t requires some what full purse generally TO con-
duct suit attended by such incidents as have given
of lawyers and notaes ami officers Of the law, may
be met very easily indeed by the vast resources OF Mr.
Shaw.
END OF THE OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES AND cossE-
QUEscEs.
Now gentlemen Of the jury taking these two indi.
viduals plaintiff and defendant, Ellie e. Carstang and
Henry Shaw, ask yon what meaning you will attach
10 the conduct Of Henry Shaw during the days OF his
courshpi You cannot say they were the usual atten-
tons paid by mere friend 10 friend-it was mere
civity and courtesy, and compliment, and gaantry-
it does not look like anything Of that sort. Is there
any other conclusion honorable to Mr.. Shaw than that
he meant to marry the plaintiff
have never yet seen or learned anything Of Effe
CsrsaDg to lead me TO doubt for one moment that she
would upon the instant have released M Shaw. But he
did not choose this method he withdrew silently and
meanly Abandoned her, after possessing himself OF the
piano he gave her, leaving her to wonder why his
visits had ceased not degning to give her word even
of explanation. And yet even after this insulting and
eoniemptuous treatment, and after the plaintiff had
commenced this suit against him, it, moved by repect
for himself well rs for the woman ne bad promised
TO marry he hsd gone to her and said, " could not
fulfill nv promise. l ought TO have had manliness
enough to have TO you and then by mutual con-
sent have dissolved the engagement. Let us close it
now on friendly terms, and have no notoriety
about it,"
THE CHARACTER OF THE DEFENSE BRANDS HER AS
HARLoT.
We ara fnly apprised of the nature of the defense
TO be adopted here. 1t is bold, Naked offensive defa
nation of Characteristic defendant brands her as
harot-that's his answer, here in this courtroom, to
the petition of the plaintiff. For eight long months he
had been seeking the means wherewith TO make this
defense efectua fatal, and overwhelming. His first
wrong to the plaintiff sinks into ipsignihcance in COM
paxson with this indescrbaby greater and more afro
cious wrong-the greatest and the most terrible of
which woman can be made the VICTIM
ALLEGATION OF PREVIOUS BREACH OF PROMISE SUITS
by MISS CARsTASG A FAILURE-A LOVE AFFAIR.
In Cincinnati the defendant did attempt TO prove
that she was in the habit of commencing j1st such
actions this and that this not the first time that
che had sued for breach Of promise Of marriage.
II ia not necessary 10 say anything than this that
the counsel for defendant knew perfectly well that if
there had been guch an action commenced by the
plaintiff the records Of the Court where IL insti-
tuted would show il, and could be produced. As q
matter of they failed in proving any such fact
for there never any such action commenced by
the plaintiff
Perhaps it viii appear in the evidence, if admitted
by the Court that there was friend of the plaintiff In
Cincinnati and still her warm friend and sympa.hzer
under the savage attack TO which she is exposed, who
