Was Better Than
Those in the
Photographs.
SHE LET HIM PROVE IT.
The Lady Wants $4,000 Tor Her
Honor Lost by Breach Of
Promise.

Ten thousand dollars is what Miss Hem
rietta Sullivan, of No. 36055 Fourth street.
wants Captain William H. Lockwood, OF
Erie street, to pay her for his failure to
marry her. The trial was begun yester-
day afternoon before Judge Dixon and a
jury. At the last term of court Lockwood
was tried criminally for having been too
intimate; and he was fined $14, the Court
holding that both had been guilty of
violation of the law. The object Of this
criminal proceeding was to force Lock-
wood to marry her and although he adj
mitted she was good company he declined
to receive the benefit Of it for life.
When the case had been called and the
jury sworn yesterday afternoon Miss
Sullivan seated herself beside her coun-
sci, Charles Black, and looked modest
and composed, but timid She was
tastefully attired in a dark green dress
and wore a black fur cape. Her hair was
carefully arranged in Lan0try coil and
a jaunty hat of subdued colors crowned
it. She is scarcely a blonde, but is very
pretty.
Lockwood who sat beside Counsellor
| w. d. Daily, his lawyer, looked far from
| being composed. He is fine looking
man OF thirty, and his face is devoid OF
| whiskers or mustache. He watched the
| proceedings carefully. and later in the
| day, when Counsellor DAILY cross ex-
amined Miss Sullivan, he offered many
! suggestions.
After Lawyer Black had stated the
case to Judge Dixon and the jury, Miss
Sullivan was called as the first witness.
| She told her story in a modest and lady
| like manner, but in many important facts
testified directly opposite to what she
swore to at the criminal trial. Before the
testimony was begun Judge Dixon adj
| Journed court for half an hour and when
it reconvened the place Of the sixth juror
| was vacant. The Court had excused him
| on request because he had been Lock-
woods Sunday school teacher, After
much trouble the place was filed by con-
sent Of counsel, Smith Jennings being
| chosen.

| The fair plaintiff when she told her
| story said She had known Lockwood for
nearly four years. She first met him at
| the house of Mrs. Norman and was in
| troduced to him by friend, Miss Cos
| tello, Of Fifth street, whom she had
known five years. There WAS a social
/ / gathering there. and during the evening
she danced several round dances with
| Lockwood. Nearly a year passed before
she met him again, and this time it was
after that she accidentally met him
on the street and after that he called at
her house frequently and was very affec-
tionate. On January IS, 1889, they went
| to Jacobs Theatre In Hoboken and from
there on the pretence of getting something
to eat, to the Eagle Hotel She was posi-
| tive she did not know the character OF
| the place. He took her upstairs because
he said the dining room tables were all
occupied; The room they went in con-
| tanned bed.
1 HE WAS VERY AFEECTIoNATE.
After that night she saw him often at
| her house and he was very affectionate.
| in February, 1889, she demanded that he
should marry her and he refused. giving
| as reason that there was something,
changing over him for five years."
| The fair plaintiff then related how he
| took her to the office of DR.. Taylor for the
purpose of malpractice and how she re-
| fused to consent to it, and then Lockwood
said he would give her until the next
| night to decide. She absolutely refused
would rot in prison before he would
marry her. Her child died March 19,

Counsellor DAILY, on benalf of his client,
| called as witness District Attorney
| Winfield. He was present at the examin-
aUion of the original action before Justice

against Mr.. Winfield's testifying as
| witness, because in the criminal case he
| was her counsel, and what took place be-
pIj
| fidenual and recognized SO by the law.

the Interpretation of the law and directed
| the Prosecutor to testify. The Court

during the intimacy of the couple he only
| visited her five or six times. He said
4 Miss Sullivan entertained him when he
called on her by showing him a lot OF
| pictures of half nude women, and that on
one occasion she lifted up a corner Of the
carpet and took from under it a lot of
/ photographs that would have filled the
| heart of Anthony Comstock with Joy if
| he had been present, They We're all im-
moral, the defendant said.
Miss Sullivan asked me what thought
of the shapes of the figures" said Lock
wood, "and replied they are rich, but
think yours is Just as good, and then,

limbs to me for comparison"
