New YORK, April 4.-If the Rev. Grit
fifth II. Humphrey was surprised at the
decision rendered in the Special Sessions
Yesterday when Justice Smith notified
him that he would be compelled to pay
s. week for the support of the child of
Laura c. Jones, of which he Is charged
with being the father, he did not mani
fest it. All the counsel in the case were
present and the seats for spectators were
we'll filed, the injunction of secrecy hay
ing been removed. The defendant occu-
pied a seat near the trial table. His
face was pale, and the only indication
of nervousness was an occasional witch
ing of the fingers of the right hand.
The complainant, Miss Jones, was not
present, but she was represented by
owen Z. Owen. After the witnesses had
signed their dispositions, Justice Smith
took his seat and inquired if counsel had
anything further to offer. There being no
response, he said, addressing Mr..
Humphrey: "The prosecution has estab-
lished the truth of the allegation, and the
decision Of the Court is that YOU furnish
security in the sum of $500 for the pay
ment of five dollars per week for the sup
port of the child of Laura c. Jones"
Mr.. Humphrey Slightly inclined his head
but said nothing. Counsel for defendant
Immediately entered an appeal, and Sc
Curity for the appearance of the defendant
was given by Mr.. Robert Lewis, one of
the deacons of the church of which Mr..
Humphrey is pastor. This ended the pro-
ceedings and the Court passed to the con-
sideration of other cases.

rotunda, where they stood in little groups
discussing the result. Mr. Owen was ac-
companied by his son and daughter, the
latter girl of fifteen years, and, with one
or two others, they were standing on one
side of the corridor. Pastor Humphrey
and Mr.. Reese, one of his friends, were
on the other side. A moment later the
attention of the reporter was attracted by
loud talk. The groups had broken up,
and there was an animated dialogue going
on between Pastor Humphrey and Mr..
Owen. The conversation was carried on
in the Welsh language 1t was very evil

that gentleman that even the Christian
resignation with which he had so meekly
borne his troubles, could not restrain
him, and he poured forth
Walls OF WRATH
on the head of the luckless owen who re-
torted, and the preacher, approaching
closely to him, shook his finger near
owens face as he continued to abuse
him. Owen fell back in good order and
Mr. Humphrey followed him. The excit-
ed pair gesticulated wildly, describing a
semi-circle in their movement around the
corridor, much to the amusement Of spec
tators.
"What did Mr.. Humphrey call your"
was asked of Mr.. Owen after the pastor
had cooled down.
"He cursed me-" said Mr. owen, "and
