sixth District Court-Fisk VS.. Fisk.
This case, which, for the past two years,
has from time to time. been attracting pub.
lie attention, reached yesterday It's last
phase in the lower court After sturdy
defense to resist paying alimony In the
early stages of the, suit, which was unsuc-
cessful before Judge Cooley, and was
equally so before the Supreme Court twelve
months ago, the defendant, +. M. Fisk, has
obtained the deliberate opinion OF twelve
OF his compeers, invoked by him to give q
consideration to his case, which he seemed
to infer, by calling upon them, had not been
sufficiently rendered by the Sixth and Su'
preme Courts.
After consuming the long hours of the
day in taking testimony, varied at length
by the able appeals of counsel for both par
ties, the case was submitted to the jury
about six o'clock last evening. The burn
ing and touching words of the counsel for
plaintiff, in his closing address, had, how
ever, convinced by their elOquence the last
court to which the defendant appealed, and
in few minutes the jury returned with
verdict finding that Mrs. M. A. Fisk had
been married to +. NJ. Fisk, and was en-
titled 70 a divorce and TO one-half OF the
community property since 1872.
New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1871-06-11

At An interview which recently took place
between Mrs. Laura Fair and reporter Of
the Chronicle, the woman acknowledged
that a mystery hangs over the supposed
suicide of the man whose name she now
bears. The lady in this interview saws.
first, that Colonel Fair committed suicide.
and then says that he was shot by some per.
son whom she is very free to connect with
the Freemasons. Since Mrs.. Fairs convie-
ton her counsel consider it an ugly sign that
she should make such assertions, there be-
ing in them something almost as sensational
as the disappearance Of Morgan. 1t seems,
that while long ago, she was seated in Nh.
Murphy's Office. waiting to consult with him
in regard to her divorce, she stepped to the
door and quietly shot Mr.. Fair, dropping
the pistol with the same air of nonchalanee
as she did when she killed Mr.. Crittenden.
She escaped, and conveniently it was said
that Colonel Fair had committed suicide,
Whatever informaiities there may have
been in her recent trial, one can not help
believing that she is a most desperate
woman. or hoping that informalities may
not interfere with her just punishment.
