A Father and His Child in Court.


An Affecting scene took place In the Yorkville
adjournment 1t seems that about five years ago
man named John Graham separated from his wife
and went on to Albany, leaving to the care OF Mrs.
Graham three children. The parties were re-
specially connected, and an uncle OF Mrs.
Graham, who lives in the Twenty.second ward
named Montgomery Is quite wealthy. But
Mr.. Graham did not thrive well as his relatives
and PROBABLY This was the cause which led to che
separation OF himself and wife. She struggled hard
to support her children, receiving but little, II
indeed any, aid from her husband. Some weeks
ago, however, sne met with accident, which en-.
tircly incapacitated her for work, and she was
removed to Bellevue Hospital, where she died. Two
of children who are quite young were then taken
charge oil by relatives the youngest, Ida, little girl
six years old, going 70 Mr. MONTGOMERY, her mothers
prOtege, and she In return loved MIN as n he were
her father. A few days ago the father, who had
heard OF hisswi1es death, came Tor his children,
and, becoming reccncied TO mis- son, young man
OF about eighteen years OF age, who had always
kept by his mother, they determined on living
together and taking the young ones with them.
they got back the one who was living with q
friend IN Harlem without difficulty; but Ida, the
youngest who was with Mr.. Montgomery, would
not go with them, seeing which the old gentleman
said he would never give her mp, and drove them
from the h0nse. A summons brought himself and
the chAd TO the court, where he was, however, COM
PEELED to give the child to her father At parting
the child clasped the Old man round the neck and
cried a. II her heart would break to be taken home.
With difncuy he tore himself away from her, and
ne LEFT the court with tears streaming down his
cheeks Then the father and brother came forward,
but she turned away from them and.lt not until
one OF the officers threatened her that she was in
duced TO 20 with them.

Case in Philadelphia.
PHILADELPHIA, April %, 1871.
About nine years since James CLASSIFY met, wo0ed
and won Mary Stanley at Birmingham, England.
They were married, and, like manv other ambitious
young foreigners thought to better their fortunes
by ENGRAVING to America They came to Philadel-
phis and James soon found employment IN one Of
the many manufacturing establishments in which
this city abOunds.
-sSSr~ THE OLD THING WORKED VERY NICELY
until 1855. James, on returning home one evening,
found very nice Brussels carpet in the "keeplng
room' Of his modest home in Eleventh street. He
Of course wanted to know where 1t came from, and
was told By the demure Mary that "a very nice
man, an old friend" gave 1t to her. CLASSIFY was not
satisfied. however, with such vague answer; but
his wife brought him around In course OF time by
the arts that women know SO well how TO en-
ploy, and the injured husband ceased to think
until the avery nice man." in the person OF .
up Waiker was received by Classy as friend and
made repeated visits to the house. SO anxious was
he 10 know that mis- friends were well and prosper
ing that he came nearly every day during GlasDy'S
absence to ask Glasby's wife.
This thing went on for some little time. when q
a charge OF receiving stolen goods-the carpet
IN question. He was sent to prison on
the charge. but was released after a short
tIme through the exerti0ns OF Walker
and Glasby's wife, who had begun to repent Of the
job they had successfully put up on him. CLASSIFY
went to California In 1857, and very foolishly left
his wife behind him. Walker, during Glasby's alb
sence, MAJ rieG Mrs. CLASSIFY and they lived together
for some time, until his money ran out, when, az
the solicitation OF her husband. who was ignorant
Of the wrongs lie mad suered, she joined him n Cali
fornia. Business did not prosper IN the Golden
state and CLASSIFY, In company with his wife, re-
turned to Philadelphia In 1870 He was not long in
finding out that his wife had married Walker.
and he had them both arrested and put
under $1,000 bail each to answer the
charge of bigamy. The old charge OF receiving
stolen goods was again raked up and CLASSIFY con-
signed to prison, where he now Is. Walker was
sent to prison this afternoon, In default OF 1880
ball. to answer the charge of bigamy, he also having
family, who are at present at Birmingham, Eng
land where he came from.
The case is very badly mixed and presents q new
phase OF the pursuit OF love under difficulties and
what devilish ing enulty may be developed by a
man and woman, even though married, who are de-
termined to enjoy their guilty love.
