a well.known detective with whom they
I'D previously had shady relations, and
he .ave Billiard 50. Billiard, with Jim
and Johnny Hope, were Implicated IN the
rnhhery OF the Manhattan Bank. Billiard
apd 10 Canada for safety aud became a
msnist in a concert hall. From there he
wrote pathetic letter 10 his wife IN this
.itv' and asked her, by some means, to
cot sonare with his detective accomplice
Who had failed to keep TO his agreements.
ThIs Ietter was intercepted and Billiards.
Vhereabouts learned BY the police.
In 1881 Mrs. Billiard met Mr.. Terry,
and having learned that Billiard had an
otber wife and several children before be
met her married Mr.. Terry, deeming that
her previous marriage was illegal. In
November, 1881, while llVing at Inc Stur-
ieyant House, Mrs. Terry caused the ar
rest of Miss Alcevinia Atwood, Of No.
ga West Forty-eighth street, on TWO
onarges, one of grand larceny and an
oihpr of assault and battery. Mrs. Terry
CLAIMED that ber husband had received
latter signed Winnie Atwood" Sheto
il from him and putting it into an en-
yplope returned it to Miss Atwood,
with letter dictated by her which was
calculated TO put stop to the intimacy.
the letter was sent by messenger, and
a. Miss Atwood deigned no reply Mrs.
Terry went to her residence TO see her.
she afterward claimed that Miss Atwood
and her mother combined forces and
eIected her from the house without cere-
nOpv. On her return to the Sturtevant
House she missed thousand dollar bill
and three 500 bills that she
mad drawn from the bank
the day before. She remembered
that during the excitement of returning
Miss AtwOod's letter she had lnadver-
tently picked up an envelope containing
the bank bills and put them in the letter.
The next day she visited the AtwoOds,
and when they denied having received the
1890 she became furious and smashed
all the brOnzes and bric-a-brac in the At
wood parlor that she could lay her hands
Cd. she was again forcibly elected, and
Immediately began suit for the recovery
Of damages.
Justice Smith discharged Miss Atwood
on the charge OF larceny, but held her tor
Trial for assault and battery. That charge
was thrown out by the grand Jury, and
Miss Atwood began counter charges for
malicious prosecution and false impris-
onment, laying the damages at $25, 900.
Mrs. Terry IL the meantime had gone TO
cuba WITH Der husband On June 3, 1888,
tbs trial OF NJ :lciops prosecution came
up before Judg Daily, and Ghe jury gave
Mss Atwood $500 damages. IL could not
% shown tnsJ Mrs. Terry lad any prop
perty, and nothing has ever been col
lected.
1t Is likely chat Mrs. Terry's claim to
the rich Cuban,s estates will be contested
by his relatives on the ground that she
was properly married to Billiard, and
that no decree OF divorce was granted
before her marriage with Mr.. Terry. The
case promises TO become celebrated.
