ACH, G0TTIN HlMMEL!'
WHAT DIR. coNDoRY SAID ON EN-
TERlNG HIS WlFE'S ROOM.


The Precious Pair in the Hands OF
the Police.
The Badgers" are not all dead yet,
but they have found out that Washing
ton snot exactly the town to work the
old game in. Early in February the
modern little house at No. 1923 Thir-
teenth street was rented by gentleman
and his wife and handsomely furnished
by w. B. Moses & Son. AS soon as oc-
cupied neat little sign in Gilt letters,
which read, "Dr Condory, Special
list, was tackled up to the left of the
door.
The new tenants seemed retired and
made no effort to cultivate the acquaint-
ance of their neighbors. The doctor
appeared to have quite number of
patients, and the lady was seen to leave
the house every afternoon about
O'Clock and return again about 5. She
is a woman of commanding and at
tractive appearance, dresses in good
taste, and for month or more her face
has been frequently noticed and spoken
about on the Avenue.
Everything went along smoothly un-
til Monday night, when there was an in
terruption to the rule of domestic quiet.
Yesterday afternoon intelligence was
conveyed to Detectives Carter and Raft
TO the effect that the Badger game"
had been played by DR.. Condory and
his wife upon well known attorney of
Washington. 1t appears that short
time ago the attorney made the ac-
quaintance of Mrs. Condory, and ut
her solicitation visited her house and
was introduced to the doctor. The ac-
quaintance ripened into friendship aud
the outcome was that the lawyer, the
doctor and the Madame had several
palatable lunches and spent several
pleasant evenings together.
On Monday afternoon the lawyer re-
ceived a little missive from Mrs.
Condory extending cordial inyi-
tation to come up and spend the
evening. II is unnecessary to say that
the invitation was not declined
Mrs. Condory's note was answered by
the lawyer with an acceptance of the
invitation Through the kindness of
the attorney himself TIE CRITIC is en-
abled to tell the story of the evening in
detail. He went to the house and was
informed by the servant at the door
that the Doctor was in Baltimore. Mrs.
Condory, however, said they would
dine together, and the table was laid
in Madame's bedroom. The Doctor
slipped in quietly. Zach, Gott in
Himmel p' he vociferated as he entered
the room. Then he picked up the at.
torney's clothes and said: "You come
with me down stairs" The attorney
did.
Once there the Doctor said: II think
! kill myself" producing bottle OF
iodine. But he changed his mind and
produced the two notes. already filled
out for 81 900 and 1000 at five days
and told the thoroughly uncomfortable
attorney that he must sign them or be
killed. The attorney did so, and tn IN
the Doctor said to him, GO up stair:
and bid my wife good bye" While
the attorney was doing this the Doctor
locked the notes up in his desk, and
when his caller came down again the
two put ON their hats and walked to the
corner. Good night" said the Doc
tor cheerily at the corner. II will
come to your office at O'Clock to-mor
row for the money" The lawyer com

not come. Instead he sent the follow
ing note:

The attorney did not go.
