The DA0A0IN0 TESTIMONY Mr. CHRf6TIANCY WILL
OFFER.
Judge Hagner, In the case of Christiancy agt
Christiancy, yesterday granted the motion OF
Messrs Cuppy and Ingersoll, the counsel for Mr..
Christiancy in his divorce suit, for the examina-
ton OF MI. s. Chester as to admissions made by
George Z Haight OF alleged improper conduct
with Mrs Christiancy on the sea and in Peru.
Judge Hagner remarked that II, upon the
hearing, the testimony should appear to be 1rrele
want, IL could be ruled out The motion sets forth
that when Chester was examined certain inter-
by defendant were sustained. The plaintiff claims
that he had no opportunity to show the relevancy
of the testimony he designed to elicit; that since
one L. I. Bowers has given testimony OF the I'M
proper relations OF
INTIMACY BETWEEN MRS. cHaIsTIANCY AND HAIGHT,
whose testimony shows his bias towards Mrs.
Christiancy. The plaintiff claims that he will
show that Mr.. Christiancy left New York for Lima
on March 2 1879; that Mrs. Chrstancy left to join
him June 2lst and arrived at Lima July 18th, 1879;
that early on the voyage from New York to ASpin-
wall, on the steamer Colon, she made the acqua1nt
ance OF Haight, who was also bound for Peru; that
they became very intimate through the voyage, at
Panama, and on the steamer for Callao; that on
meeting her husband Mrs. Chr1Sttancy spoke OF
the kindness she had received from Haight, and at
her instance invited him to the legation and he
accepted the invitation Spending much Of his time
ANYTHING wrong till he accidentally saw his wife
one day
SITTING IN HAIGHT's LAP;
that she was in the habit OF getting up early in
the morning whenever Haight was in Lima and
going out with him for hours at time, as also on
evenings; that she went to Haight's rooms in Call
lao and in Lima, cOncealing the facts from him;
that In Peru Mr.. Haight was in her bedroom
at hotel, and that she arranged with HatghJ
that on their return he was to support her near
Philadelphia, and he, without the knowledge OF
plaintiff, gave her s4O0 to leave her husband and
return to the United StaJeS which she did In No
vember, 1s79 he (HaghO having left the week be-
fore; that he (HaighD met her on her arrival, and
tney spent day or two together at certain hotel
26th.
AS TO RECENT INTIMACY OF HAIGHT AND MRS. CHRIS
TIANCY.
The plaintiff also claims that the intimacy has
been kept up, and gently, when a commission
had been sent to Hartford to take Haight's test-
mony, Mrs. Chrfstiancy went to Hartford and
Hafght engaged rooms for her at the City hotel,
where she remained a week or ten days under an
night and day. Plaintiff further purposes to show
that Haght Is married man with family, resid-
Ing in Hartford, and therefore was under the
strongest temptation to conceal his intimacy; that
While Haght was in Peru, in the summer OF 1879,
MRS. ChriStiancy gave him her photographs; that
when Haght went to Iquique and africa, in 1879,
he met stephen Chester, and that the latter will
testify that MI: Haight told him that, when COM
same room and berth with Mrs Christiancy and
had intimate relations with her, as also at Panama
and on the steamer from Panama to Callao; that
they had had the same improper relations at the
legation In Lima, and at one time narrowly escaped
being caught by the husband. Mr.. Christiancy
also Claims that the parties sustained such inti-
mate and Improper relations to each other that they
would, in all probability, seek to protect each other
and their testimony would naturally be of strong
bias against him, and they would seek to establish
some other cause for her leaving Lima rather than
the true one.
Mr.. Chester will be examined under this ruling,
and other witnesses will be called, including Mr..
Chrstiancy himself.
