charged Charley Devln, the millionaire, with
being party with his son Johnny In an effort to
take from one Of them her good character. They
said their names were Maggie and Julia Curtin,
and from the wild and incohcrent manner In which
they related to the Court their grievances 1t was
soon plain to the most 0btuse that their men,
tai equilibrium was seriously impaired. JUS
tice Bixby committed them to the care OF
the Commissioners of Charities and COrrec-

himself in Court, but he did not know the women,
neither did they know him. He showed several
