PIrrsBURG, Pa, Feb. Z, 1874.
An interesting case Of alleged conspiracy Is on
trial in the courts OF this city, the incidents being
Of quite a romantic nature. The prosecutriy is
Regina Steiner and the defendants her husband
and number OF his relatives. Mrs. Steiner Is a
large, handsome, middle-aged woman, a native OF
Alsace. She appeared IN court in the richest and
costlest of toilets ana with pro;usion OF elegant
jewelry. 1t appears that in 1859 wealthy mer.

They lived together for over two years,
when Mr.. Jacque concluded to marry some
one else, and after revolving the question
over, he hired julius Steiner to marry her, agree.
ing to settle upon her an annuity OF 200 In gold,
for the support OF herself and children.
Steiner came to America and remained for
while IN New York, but ultimately came to Pitts

merchant was father. In the meanwhile the mer-
chant had settled on Regina an annuity OF 5000
francs; but, before the year had expired alter
defendants, commenced series OF systematic
abuses on the wife. They tried to force her INTO
Dixmont Insane Asylum, and In otner various ways
to rid themselves OF her presence. For cOnsid-
cradle time 1t seems that her husband appropri-
ated her money to his own purposes, and with 1t
purchased some property-that was not recorded,
hOwever-and he conveyed 1t TO Adam Weigand
relative, evidently Tor the purpose OF getting rid
OF the difficulties occasioned.
The defendants deny any conspiracy for the sake
OF obtaining the annuity; The paper provides that
money belongs equally to the husband and vile.
The case Is still going on.
