MEYER AND MRS.MARTIN
Mrs. Meyer Follows Them
on the River Walk
in Hob0ken.

The social circles of the Fourth ward in
Hoboken are much exercised over a case
which was partially ventilated in Judge
Rusch's court this morning. Yesterday q
young woman entered the court room
and with a great deal of emotion said
that she had reason to believe that her
husband was paying too much attention
to another married woman who resided in
the same house.
MY name is Mrs. Meyer" said she,
''and live at No. 96 jefferson street. OF
late my husband has neglected me. and
several of the neighbors told me that he
was often seen in the company of -ars.
Martin. heard that they attended social
gatherings together. / would not believe
the stories, however, until few nights
ago, when | saw enough to convince ME
that the stories had some foundation.
while walking along Fifth street,
near the River Walk, with two other
women, l espied my husband with Mrs.
Martin He had his arm around her
waist and was hugging and kissing her.
That was enough for me, and now,
Judge, want your advice in the matter"
The two women who were with Mrs.
Martin on that night were in court and
corroborated the story. Mrs. Meyer
added that she had since learned that her
husband was in the habit of visiting Mrs.
Martins rooms during the absence or
Mr.. Martin.
Mrs. Meyer wanted to make COM
plaint, but the Judge said he would send
for her husband and Mrs Martin.
This morning Meyer appeared in court.
He is chunky, red whiskered individu-
al He drives a lard wagon aud appeared
in court with clean jumper and pair of
overalls on. Mrs. Martin is a comely
woman of about twenty-eight years OF
age and has jet black hair.
Meyer, when he heard the charges,
denied them. He admitted having walked
up Fifth street on the night alleged, but
denied having placed his arm about Mrs.
Martin or indulged in any oseulatory ex-
ercise. Mrs Martin, who was hitherto
much respected in the neighborhood, also
denied that Henry had placed his arm
around her waist or attempted to kiss
her.
The judge will give the case another
hearing tomorrow and will try to effect
an amicable settlement. Meyer and Mrs.
Martin left the court room toge ther.
