MAGGIE MITCHELL FREE.
She Obtains a Divorce from
Her Husband.
THE TESTIMONY IN THE CASE.

His Faithlessness Testified TO by the
Woman with Whom He Was Intimate.
He Refuses TO Testify and Chancellor
rIcGiH Acts Promptly.
TRENTON, N. j., April GA divorce has
been granted Maggie Mitchell the actress
frcm her husband, Henry T. Paddock, by
Chancellor MeGill, the decree having just
been filed in the chancery office in this city
The evidence in the case was taken in New
Jersey and New York, and the complainant's
main charge was adultery on the part Of her
husband, in 1852 and 1884, with one Minnie
L. Moore, who was then living in Syracuse
Maggie Mitchell about year and a half
ago opened letter addressed to her husband
She thought it was a business letter, ard was
shocked at its contents. 1t was written by
Minnie Moore, whom she subsequently met
in Syracuse. The latter acknowledged that
she he'd been intimate with Paddock and
furnished Miss Mitchell with what the latter
considered convincing proofs Of her husbands
infidelity. Then Mis- Mitchell ins ituted the
proceedings for divorce. Paddock filed an
answer 70 her bill Of complaint, denying that
he had been guilty Of adultery with any one /:
but he failed TO take the witness stand in the
case. Minnie Moore said under oath tn at he
had been intimate with her.
Oranda Moore, Minnie's mother, testified
that she knew Paddock and was aware Of her
daughters meeting with him and Of their in
innate acts. Both declared that they did
not know that Paddock was a married man
until 1884. when they saw him last II was
put in evidence by Maggie Mitchell that
there was no collusion between her and Pad
dock for the purpose of securing the divorce,
Minnie Moore is reformed since her marriage.
and volunteered to become a witness in the
case. The decree was signed by the chancel-
lor, upon the advice OF Advisory Master S.
NJ Dickinson, Of this city, to whom all the
evidence was submitted.
Maggie Mitchell married Paddock on July
l3, 1869, and lived with him until the discov-
cry Of the Minnie Moore letter. Their resi-
dence, she stated, had always been at Long
Branch. She was a true and faithful wife
and had supported him out Of her means
She had frequently heard charges affecting
his character, but did not put any faith in
them until Minnie Moore told her story. The
chancellor acted promptly, in view Of the fact
that Paddock refused to testify in his own be-
half, and consented TO submit the case with
out argument Of counsel
Paddock in his answer to the bill Of com
plant, asserted that his troubles with his
wife grew out Of her employment OF a certain
performer, whom he wished her to discharge.
which wish was not respected OF obeyed.
