THE BLYTHE CASE.
A Sealskin Cloak Was Charged
to "MiSs DickasOn.'

In the Blythe case yesterday, Alice
Edith Blythe testified in rebuttal, and in
reply to Mr.. Highton's questions denied
that she had told Mr.. Varney that Mr.
Blythe thought more of Florence than of
herself, never having had reason to say so.
She remembered when the Public Ad-
ministrator's attorney, John A. Wright,
called at q Geary street, and the desk was
sealed. Mrs. Gutierrez, Miss Moss aud
Mrs. Eggleton were there. but no one re-
ferred to her as MI. BIythe's housekeeper
in her presence. On April s. 1888, she
was dressed in black dress, and had on
black skirt loaned by Mrs. Gutierrez, and
black sacQue. She did not state to Captain
Mcdonald that she had given Chronicle
reporter an account of Mr.. Blythe's death,
or that it was substantially correct, nor did
she give a reporter any account.
Mr.. Estee did give an account, and warned
her not to speak to reporters, for he would
answer them. She did not see Captain Nc
Donald on that day, nor did lie offer his
services to her, nor ask her name, nor did
she tell him it was Alice Dickson" 1t
was not the practice of Mr.. Blythe to 90
out TO restaurants to eat She remembered
the occasion when Mr.. Jeffers and Mr..
Blythe drank gin together. They sat up
rather late.
She recollected that Blythe gave her the
furniture that was in q Geary street, when
they were about to move from O'Farrell
street. General Andrade and Mr.. JefferS
were present at dinner in 1882 or 1888 and
Mr.. EggletOn came in during that dinner
She remembered that Frank Cherry was
about q Geary street on April 6, 1888, and
! that he had peculiar gait and one short
! leg; likewise the visit of James ID. David
| son, lOcksmith, to fit key to an English
! trunk formerly belonging to Blythe, but
| Davidson did not fit key to satchel, bag
| or Valise.
She did not remember Mr.. Porter the
undertaken, saying to Davidson, Lock
smith, do you wish to look at the b0dy?"
She had not seen Blythe under the
weather. or full" more than three
times at 0'Farrell street or 27 Geary
street. Charles Potter Meany did not visit
| her at Mason street and 433 Hayes street,
but she saw him and another boy named
| Eugene Sykes at a chldren's party at Mrs.
Fagan's, Mason street, where she play ed
the piano for them.
Blythe always seemed to feel that he
would live long time, that is, five or ten
years more. During his sickness in 1882,
he was not at all respondent, for his nature
was not inclined that way. He did not
talk as if he were going to die for twenty
| years. He was not cheerful at all times.
This lady is going to be my wife one of
! these days" Blythe said in 1880, when he
! guaranteed her credit for a sealskin coat to
! Herman Lebes of San Francisco. The
| coat was furnished on inStillments of $50
| per month and the transaction was entered
! in the name of Mrs. Dickson (Villette)"

at $3.50 read: Miss Dickson, O'Farrell

for the Plaintiff.

The Jury returns a Verdict for S22, 500
for the Plaintiff
The jury in the suit of Jerome B. Cox VS..
D. NJ. Delmas was charged yesterday morn
tqg by Judge Shafter. who occupied over
malt an hour in delivering the instructions
to the jurors.
The Court charged in effect that when an
attorney purchases claims against his client
during litigation, and obtains an assign
ment OF judgment to be rendered, the bur
den Of proof is on him that the entire trans
action was fair and that he took no advan-
tage of his client; that when an attorney
takes an absolute assignment of q claim
which would vest title in him. il he be
third party to it, if he had taken any
unfair advantage of his client in any way
it would be considered that he had taken it
for his client. and he could not hold it as
against his client, except it might be looked
upon as security for advances made to his
! client, with interest, etc.
When the jury retired 1t took with ii
nineteen special issues prepared by Cnx's
attorney, Z. q. Galpln. AT l 30 o'clock The
jury returned a verdict in favor of the
plaintiff upon all the issues, and adjudging
due him the sum of SD, S62 without inter-
est. BY demand Of Mr.. Delmas the jury
was polled and nine answered that such
was their verdict. The jury found that
S36,0l4 II was due Cox, against which it
allowed S3l52 II cash advanced to buy as
slgnmentS of the Reese estate and Cobb
claims, and $4,000 allowed defendant by
way OF compromise.
The suit was to recover S33, $50 and inter-
est, the value of claims against COx's judg-
ment 10 his suit against Charles McI.augh-
lin. Delmas purchased the claims, and Cox
contends they were bought for his benefit.

With solid tread and in breezy haste
comes young woman got up in English
style. Her cheeks are red, she carries her
chest high and her boots have low heels.
Her princess gown is made of black ana
white plaided fabric with the left side open
to show black panel. There are black
draperies across the front and the pointed
jacket is black with a plastron of white
wool. She wears large black straw hat
trimmed with black and white ribbons and
she carries-yes the sun is getting hgh-a
black and white plaid parasol. She Is tax
ing three hours constitutional and she's
eating caramels, with a certain polite dis
erection, to keep herself company.
The prettiest gowns on the promenade
are of silver gray cloth, with trimmings OF
Cairo gold embroideries. The hats which
go with them are of gray straw with gold
tlnsel garniture. Very dainty are the toilets
in preparation for the debutantes of the
post Easter season. These buds have the
advantage of freshness over their sisters
who bloomed last fall. An Aurora pink
petticoat of striped faille is the foundation
of dress for brunette of whom great
things are expected. The Overdress is OF
white Canton crepe made quite full. The
waist opens over chemSette Of silk mus
lin, the throat is uncovered, the pulled
sleeves come to the elbows aud the pointed
girdle is trimmed with white velvet ribbons
Quite the prettiest thing in fans is the
toy whose sticks are gold or ivory tipped
with rose or daisy petals. The newest and
most unique passementeries are all of beads
shading from mauve into lilac, violet and
heliotrope. and fading into opal and SHIN
mering pearl. The newest grdles are called
C0aStantinople sashes, and have silk
strands hanging from them to the foot Of
the skirt in front and graduating toward
the hips till they measure but few inches
on each side. The fashionable woman
looks quite like savage belle with her
pendants and chatelaines. her beaded and
jeweed chains and tags and fringes which

Not all the spring bonnets are such airy
fairy connections as they look. The gold
tinsel which makes a glittering, lace-lke
coronet is weighty enough TO give woman
binding headache in fifteen minutes, if it
were not so fashionable. Not in three years
has there been such a Juror for jet and the
flashing black butterflies and beetles and fl
lets are quite the reverse of imponderable.
One bonnet which a milliner weighed for
me yesterday tipped the scales at three
pounds, another at five. The record three
years ago was eight pounds. We shall
break that before many months at the pres
ent rate of progress.
When the sun comes out Broadway is
beautiful with women. They surge in and

lounges, it stares, it chats with smiles and

In the case of Mrs. Hattie McElheran, the
young widow, who died last Wednesday

Dr. E. DonneIly testified that when called
to attend the patient he informed her that
she could not live long, aud she then told
him that a midwife named Mrs. NJ. E.
Rogers had performed q criminal opel alton
on her. Although the doctor swore posi-
lively that the woman was in her right
mind at the time of making this statement,
her father ana sister testified that she had
been delirious several days before death,
and told different stories to them about the
matter.
DR.. Estes, assistant to the Coroner, gave
testimony relating to the autopsy, which
showed that the operation had been per-
formed In bungling manner. Mrs. Rogers
denied having performed the operation, and
was permitted to 60 at liberty after the
verdict was returned.
lie verdict was to the effect that Mrs.
McElheran died from a criminal operation
