Broker Green and His New Wife Hastily
Depart for Europe.
New YORK, Feb. 13.-The marriage
OF Douglass Green, a New York stock
broker to Mrs. Smell McCrea, the
divorced wife of Wiley o. McCrea and
the daughter of the millionaire VIM,
Smell, of CT 'cago, by colored minister
at Old Pom, Va. has created no end OF
trouble.
Owing to the scandal the official an
nouncement was made in the Stock Ex-
change Of Green's withdrawal from the
firm of Green & 5ateman. to which he
belonged before the escapade.
Green and his bride sailed for Europe
on the steamship Lain as soon as he
signed the notice OF the withdraw from
the firm. The whole episode created q
sensation on the Stock Exchange.
1t is stated that Mr.. Green is u biga-
mist. His first wife is q niece of ex-
Governor Straw, of New Hampshire.
She separated from Green on account
of alleged Entertainments. and is living
with her children in Connecticut. She
was never divorced from him.
Friends of Green were about to have
him arrested and subjected to an in,
quiry as to his sanity. but his sudden
departure for Europe foiled them. They
claim that his brain was injured by q
tall two years ago.

THE LECONEY TRIAL.


Evidence for the Defence Proves Bad for
the Accused Murderer.
CAMDEN. N. j., Feb. 13.-The LEGO
ney murder trial drags It's slow length
along, but dnss not diminish in excite
mont. The great case possesses an in
terest outside of Camden County, judg-
ing from the great number OF outsiders
who struggle for places in the crowded
court
The days proceedings were decidedly
sensational. and manirestly bad for
Leconey. Unfortunately for him the
testimony Of the witnesses for the de
fence does not cease with their OK
amination-in-chief. Prosecutor Jen-
kins is n brilliant cross-examiner, and
in the case of Mrs. Lavery and to 4
lesser extent in that of other witnesses
who testified for tho accused. weakened,
broke, embarrassed and COMPOUNDED the
case for the defence. Mrs. Lavery' q
cross-examination was q marvel Of legal
perspicuity, and whom she left the
stand it was palpable to every mind
that Leconey's case was moro en-
dangered than helped by her evidence.
Throughout this critical stage, how
ever, the accused murderer wore his
usual composure. He was trif1e paler,
perhaps, and his features were possibly
little harder set, but beyond this he
made no sign TO show the disappoint
ment the witness must have caused
him. The mother and brother OF the
murdered girl sat beside him, and now
and then whispered words in his ear
At such times he never spoke in turn
he simply listened.

Ayers Hair Vigor

not only prevented my wife from becoming bald, but it also caused an entirely new growth of hair. I am ready to certify to this statement before justice cf the peace."- H. Hulsebus, Lewisburgh, Iowa.
 "Some years ago, after a severe attack of brain fever, my hair all came out. I used such preparations for restoring it as my phy- sicians ordered, but failed to produce a growth of hair. I then tried, successively, several articles recommended by druggists, and all alike fell short of accomplishing the desired result. The last remedy I applied was Ayers Hair Vigor, which brought a growth of hair in a few weeks. think I used eight bottles in two years; more than was necessary as restorative, but liked it as a dressing, and have continued to use it for that purpose. I believe Ayers Hair Vigor possesses virtues far above those of any similar preparation now on the market" Vincent Jones' Richmond Ind
