Court, Circuit. Tho plaintiff Christine Heinrich.
young German girl Of rather prepossessing appear
anco. is the suitor md Herman Godsten.
q young German of the blonde order, is
tho defendant. On being called to the witness
stand the plaintiff told her story in very
straightforward manner and it was very evident that
tho general sympathy was on her side. She stated
that she came from Bavaria to this country few
years ago. and being poor, was obliged her
livelihood by going out to service. In tho fall Of
1875, while she employed as chambermaid at the
Prescott she says she became acquainted with the
defendant, who then boarding there; that in
short time he asked her to marry him. and. an in
ducemeht. told her he was wealthy. and
that instead Of having to act servant,
she would have servants TO wait upon her. Under
this promise she charges that she was led astray
When the defendant called to the stand he gave
a somewhat different recital He denied that the
subject OF marriage was mentioned and that
he represented himself a Of
He says, however that she sent him letter til reat
enipg to expose him IN the newspapers, and rather
than have any trouble with her, no sent his lawyer
to her who gave her $780, in consideration of which
she signed paper releasing him from any further
liability. Both witnesses rigidly cross-ex-
mined, and their examination occupied the entire
doy.
