Husband IL Smiften With
Anafher,a Charms.


Another's Charms.
NEW YORK, March ia handsome
woman, who was not over 26 years old, and
whose blonde hair struggled out in vagrant
locks from under her hat stopped In front
of the Buckingham Hotel, Fifth avenue.
She paused in front of the entrance and
looked up as if to make sure she had
arrived at her destination, and as
the light fell upon her it made
the diamonds with which she was adorned
dance and sparkle. She was handsome
lady. She kept herself very well in hand
and entered the hotel at the main entrance.
The clerk was astonished, but he was TOO
we'll trained to allow his feelings to ruttie
his placidity, so he smiled blandly and
asked her what he could do. She replied
that she wanted to see Mr.. Osgood, who was
then in the dining room. She then entered
the dining room, and on looking around
discovered Mr.. Osgood and woman seated
at table by themselves looking just as the
rest of the diners were looking. She made
directly for the place where they sat. The
man had recognized her evidently, for as
she approached he arose from his
seat and stepped away from the table
toward her. As she came she pulled out
from bag shining pistol and a photo
graph. She held them both toward him,
the pistol unpleasantly near.
Look at this picture" she screamed,
''and tell me, if you will, if you are not the
father of that child. Tell her, too," point
ing to the woman, who still remained seated
at the table, "Tell her that you are my hus-
band, and that this is one of our children"
"Put that away and be quiet" said the
man, as he reached out for the weapon.
mo, Twill not" she cried, "until you
acknowledge your child" and she -four
ished the photograph, and the pistol again
in his face. The unusual scene caused
commotion in the dining room, and an
officer was sent for. On his arrival he ar
rested her and took her to a police office,
where she was arraigned before the SER
geant. She gave her name as Carrie Os-
good. The man in the dining room was her
husband. She was locked up and the next
morning she was taken to the Yorkville
police court to answer to a charge of drunk
enness and disorderly conduct, but owing to
the apparent respectability of the prisoner
she was discharged. Then, as she passed
through the iron gate of freedom, she was
Joined by the gentleman who had been
waiting on the benches, and the two went
out together and left in the carriage.
One of the doormen of the prison said that
the woman had told him that she was the
wife Of Osgood, who was very wealthy
man. Her husband, by whom she had two
children, had proved false and had sue
cumbed to the wiles of woman whom she
called Irene. She went there, intending to
plead with him to leave Irene. In her
pocket, she said, she had an unloaded re-
volver. The weapon had been given to her
by Osgood some time before. 1t had never
been charged, however, and was not loaded
when she took it to the hotel. She also took
with her photograph of one of her chill
dren. 1t was her intention, she said, to
throw the pistol at Osgood, not to fire it. In
the disturbance which followed the pistol
and the picture were snatched out of her
hand.
