The Hallet-kiIbourn Suits.

New York Times.
Hallet KiIbourn, now q semi-histOric
parsonage, has won another of those legal
victories which, in his hands, are worse
than defeats 1t was in 1876 that Mr..
KiIbourn was sent to Jail for refusing to
produce his books before a Congressional
committee Of investigation. In jail he
stayed for twenty-nine dolefuI days. dur
ing which he lived and entertained his
numerous friends on the fat of the land.
subsequently Mr.. Kilbourn brought suit
against the United States Represented in
the person Of Seargeant-at-Arms Thomp-
som for $150,O00 damages. The jury
awarded him 100000, but Judge MacAr-
thur set aside the award as excessive. In
1893 Kilbourn brought another suit foJ
$3.50. 600 damages and got q verdict for
$500 and this award was set aside by
Judge Cox for the same reasons stated by
Judge Macarthur. Again the long-suf-
fering, much-enduring Kilbourn. steadily
adhering to his last estimate of theextent
of damages to his feelings, brought q suit
for $780, coo. The jury has brought in a
verdict in his favor foI S37, 800. 1t isn0t
certain whether the presiding Judge will
set aside the award: but. unless the ma
chinery of the law is exhausted. 1t is safe
to say Mr. Kilbourn viii rise superior
with another suit.

More About Harry and His Many
Wives.

The Baltimore american OF yesterday
SAYS: 4 dispatch received from Peters
burg. Va, la,t evening stating that :. l..
Harry. nan aged ffty-iiye years, had
been arrested in NOttoway county, Va.
charged with bigamy. He is held for a
rc0ulsitIon from the Governor OF Mary
land. Harry first came to this city from
New Jersey. He had been merchant at
one time in New York. where he was 4
married man. lie went TO Pennsylvania,
and there married again. After living
with wife No. several years he emlgrated
to New jersey, where once more ne tied
Il connubial knot with one Of Jerseys fair
women. About eight months ago he
came to this city and engaged board
at a fashionable clearinghouse in the
West End. IT was not many days before
he made the acquaintance OF lady named
EveriSt. living in Northwest Baltimore.
He became exceedingly attentive IL bis adj
dresses. and after 4 month or so acqlaint-
ancc he proposed. and she accepted. They
were married in this city, and few days
after the wedding the newIy-married
couple went to Virginia. The groom plr-
chased Il small farm in N0ttOway county
and started a country store. Within two
months after the marriage the bride re-
turned 70 her relatives in this city. When
asked why she leit her husband She
declared that she had been so badly
treated that She had been compelled
to leave him. She said hi- con-
duet had been brutal, and that al
though she did everything possible to
please him, lie would not appreciate her
endeayOrs. The consequence was, lie
with such man was burden. and unable
to stand it any longer She lett HIM for good.
After being home for several weeks infOr-
nation reached her that the man whom she
considered her husband had another wife
living in New jersey. She eagerly grasped
at the idea OF freeing herself and opened
correspondence with the New jersey wife.
When she had all the information she need
ed she determined TO punish the deceiver.
\ brothcr-in-law OF the lady few days ego
went down 10 NottoWay county TO secure
the arrest Of Harry. lie was armed with
letters from The New Jersey wife. and sue
ceeded in getting a warrant for the mans
arrest. The Baltimore wife visited Marshal
Gray several days ago about the case, but
no action was taken by the Police Depart
ment here, as the brOther-in-law OF the lady
had gone down to Virginia and they knew
The arrest would be made.
