THE TRIAL.
There pretty large crowd In attendance yester-
day in the court and the proceedings were w.t.
messed with keen interest. The plaintiff had rs her
counsel William Henry McGrath and ex-Judge Curt 8
and the defendant Dudley Field and d. X. Garniss.
The plaintiff first called to the witness stand, aud
told the story substantially gwen above In her
cross exam sho got little mixed up, as already
stated, on the question OF the shawl ana bonnet being
thrown the river, but adhered pretty closely 10
| her original narrative, and when Mrs. Legenderc
was called to the witness stand her story de-
tracted somewhat from the thrilling narrative
of the plaintiff. She said that she the only per-
| son assaulted. and tho assault she said, consisted
simply In her brother raising her veil and giving her
! pretty good shaking. The defendant fatty contra
d,ced the story ofMrs Brccne as to any violence on
his part. He says that the contrary. Mrs. Brccns
struck him with u parasol, when he broke It, He
stated further that he had never mentioned such
thing as a pistol had idea OF The case was
encrgetIcally summed up on botn sides. Judge Dono
hue comprised his charge in few sentcntious sen
tences the jury after very brief absence, brough
| in a verdict OF 500 IN favor Of the plaintiff 1t wal
stated afterward that Mrs. Brceno remarked that rs
Lcgendere had gone back on her.
