Elizabeth daily monitor. [volume] (Elizabeth, N.J.) 1868-1880, 1869-06-02

case came up before Justice Alphonsc
Dabb, Second ward, yesterday after
noon.
1t appears that gay girl dressed in
green" with a certain madam, from
the Empire city, visited our city yester-
day, and after admiring themany beau
tiful residences, together with the 9TH
er beauties of the place, brought up at
the Port, where in their wanderings,
the prisoner all at once espied "long
lost husband" from whom she had
been cruelty separated for the last two
years and more. With a shop, skip
and a jump, she landed like a Comanche
Indian, into the arms of one who, she
said, had solemnly sworn to love, cher
ish and protect her.
But, Captain Benjamin l.. Titus, q
pleasant looking old seaman, "didnt
see it, " and he at once, in the inocency
of his nature, begged the coarse-featur-
ed, red-faced Amazon to explain her con
duct.
Finding herself not recognised, ''Liz-
zie " bewailed her cruel fate, and made
her way to the Office of Judge Dabb,
who was sitting clothed in all the maj
esty Of the law, up to his eyes and ears
in Dixon and the DAILY MONITOR.
car ye the shudge?" inquired the
lady in green.
81 am, madam replied Phon.,
looking wisely, and handing his visitor
a stool, ON which he begged her to be
seated. ''Pray, to whom am I indebt-
ed for the honor of this visit, pursued
the Judge, on noticing the bewildered
air of the lady.
I'm grass wider, ser, an havin
found my husband in this beautiful
city of yours, Twin with another wo-
man, which I believe is his wife, 1 hey
cum to you to ask his arrest as a biga-
mist"
Pray, explain" interrupted the
Judge.
Amt I explanin; hold yer Cab till
I get through wild me story"
8" No more such language to me,
madam, or I'll fine you for contempt of
court"
" Well, purity, Use only foolin you
see this man Titus married me eight
years ago, and happily we lived togeth-
er till about two years since, when he
cast me off, and I have been compelled
to wander up and down the streets of
New York. A little while ago I pawned
my clothes for 1910, which sum of mon
ey I have eaten up.
Eaten up, madam!" exclaimed JUS
tice Dabb." Never before in the whole
course of my judicial experience did /
hear of a person eating money"
" How'd your tongue; I used the
money in buyin the necessaries Of life, I"
responded the woman. "An, now, ser,
[ want you to cause the arrest of me
husband, who is at present living in
Pine street with another woman"
The Justice writes the complaint,
founded on the above facts, and des-
patches an officer after the Captain, who
speedily arrives, to whom the affidavit
is read. Captain Titus-a man of very
few words-enters into recognizance
to answer the charge at the next court,
but this didn't satisfy the Gladly" who
was willing to allow the matter to go no
farther, if her dear husband would only
"come down" and just redeem he,
clothes-the amount necessary to effect
this being $270. This the good-natur
ed seamen declined doing, and then in
whirlwind of anger, the GLADLY" gave
vent to her pent-up feelings, declaring
that unless he did the mice thing
she would leave him to his fate, and al
low the law, stern, infexible law to take
its course. When she got through, the
Captain informed her that unless she
kept civil tongue in her head, he
would feel compelled to put her where
she would be safe not only to hersel
but to society in general.
The woman, with her madam the1
left, vowing eternal Vengeance, and al
those sort Of things, and expressing her
profound contempt in not very chastC
language for New Jersey justice.
