portant facts, or where alleged cruel
treatment has been repeated several
times. What we print to-day is an
abstract OF the testimony given last
week:
Elizabeth Judd, sworn--Was married
March 2S, 1854, TO Rev o. B., Judd,
in New York; was the widow of e.
@. Gray, q lawyer OF New York city, by
whom I had three children; when /
married Mr.. Judd, he had three child
ren, but they were married; / had not
been married a week before I discov
cred his love of money; he did not
take money enough with him on our
wedding tour to pay our expenses;
when we we're riding in the cars, and
food passed through the coaches where
we were, be would ask me if was
hungry in such way that I said no,
because / knew that be did not want
me to have any. When we got to
Nashville he was out of money, and he
borrowed all the money which I hsd,
leaving me not penny. On our arri-
val home he vent to live in Brooklyn,
New York, for year or two; he never
would allow me to ride, even if l went
from Brooklyn to New York; he never
gave me any money for my incidental
expenses; 1 was helpless many months
from tue effects of rheumatism, but he
would not allow me any luxuries; we
never had them in the house. One day
when / was sick, l told the servant to
cook me some sweet potatoes he was
o mad about it that he would not eat
sany dinner, and went back to the Bible
House, where he was acting as trans
lator, without speaking a word to me.
His mother, who lived with us, was 80
years old on the 9th of April after our
marriage, and / desired to make her a
birthday present of a black silk dress;
he replied that tAere was no need of
it--it was foolish waste of money. 1
also wanted large picture taken of
mother, but he said nothing when
spoke TO him anoutit it. Ihad one paint
ed, which l paid for by sewing, by an
artist in New York. presented it to
him, but he never even thanked me for
it. / was appointed administrative
over my late husbands estate, but Mr..
Judd did all the business, and signed
the papers after they had been cut and
dried 10 Darlington's Office, on Nassau
street. He attempted to get the money
on the sale of some OF the estate, but
l got it by going first to the parties
who bought the property. After had
got it he sulked for q week or more,
and spoke not word to me. He would
go away early mornings, and return
about P. NJ, go direct to his library
and make notes on the Gospel accord
ing to Matthew until midnight. We
moved to Second avenue. 1866 II was
a fine brown stone front building, built
upon land that belonged to my deceased
husband; it was elegantly furnished :
the mantels cost at least $1,000 each,
and were on exhibition at the Crystal
Palace Fair, New York. Went to
wedding to the Unicn Baptist Church,
Ia TWenty.second street. 1t was his
first wife's brother, Stephen Colgate;
Judd refused to pay for hack which
carried me and him. He refused to
buy clothing fer the little stranger,
which was expected in short time. II
often asked him for money with which
TO purchase the necessary clothing
on such occasions, and he refused
to give it to me. He was at that
time getting a salary Of 81, 500, in the
United States Assay Office in New
York, About this time he commenced |
to supply the pulpit OF the Wooster
Place Church, in this city. During
my sickness he only brought me half
pound of soda crackers, and told me
to cat them, as / needed something
sold my jewelry to pur- |
chase clothes for thesslittle stranger.
We lived in elegant style on Second
avenue. When the little boy was two
and half years Of age he died, and
the lot in Greenwood Cemetery is not
paid for yet; 1 wanted tombstone,
and spoke to him about it; he was al. |
ways angry and abusive to me; / want |
ed to put on mourning for my child,
but he refused to give me money to |
purchase the same. l had o painting |
VI my loved boy made; 1 paid for it |
myself; presented it to Dr.. Judd, and
he was angry because 1 bought il, be.
cause it took money TO buy il; he was
so angry that he locked the parlor door
and would not allow me to see it. This
was at the house IN Chapel street, New
Haven; 6nsannsh Reynolds was honse-
keeper. DR.. Judd refused to give me
and I was almost destitute of
clothes. We had money due us from
two Cuban boys, or rather
for the washing, mending and ironing
Tor the boys, which ] weot to New
York and collected Of their guardian,
and with which I purchased some !
