Mr.. Fisher became desperate over the
tempting $4,000 fee, and determined to
lnak y hazard to win the coveted prize.
Jtn had learned to his own satisfaction that
it would be useless to continue the petition
under the old plea of incompatibility of
temper and desertion; 50 he changed it to
adultery committed in New York. The ap-
plcation to tue New York Court was with

nal charge was made before the Supreme
Court of Brooklyn. Mr.. Fisher brought
forward Mr.. Frank T.. Archibald, who ap-
prared before the referee, Mr.. Lowell, and
