coWHIoEo HIM IN COURT.
An Angerod woman's Revenge Upon -
Prominent Lawyer.

! CHICAGO, Aug. GA pretty bru-
nette and swishing rawhide played
havoc in Jude KohlsaaJ's court today,
and practically decided long drawn
| out and sensational litigation over the
custody of a child and a $4,000 estate,
which has occupied the attention OF the
Probate Court for many months.
The pretty woman who did the raw
hiding was Mrs. Ed McMahon, whose
husband had been charged with attempt
| Ing to poison his own child and whose
mother-:n-law has been endeavoriLg to
get possession of the child on this charge.
The lawyer who was rawhldcd is Patrick
McHugh, Il well-known lawyer, who
was not long ago a candidate for the
bcndh and who was associated with At
torney 1Iyncs in behalf of the mother in
law in the case.
Judge Huhlsaat was unmoved. lie
simply had the belligerenls removed and
refused the application of indignant At
torney Hynes to impose a penalty for
contempt of court.
But not only did Mrs. McMahon horse
whip and her husband pound the lawyer,
she also severely slashed an officer of
the State, Peter Smith, the guardian of
wiz Shiit VIZ pChuii VI liIC SluIC.
The whipping occurred about III
O'Clock today. and was not wholly un-
expected. Yesterday, when Attorney
Hcllu9h had read an affidavit taken in
Canada, i'll which Mrs. McNIahon was
charged with being Il woman of bad repu-

woman in black stood up IN her scat in
the body of the court and moved quietly
in the direction Of Attorney Nj Hugh.
Clerk Ballerman guessed what was COM
ing. He had time only to shout, Look
Cut!' however, before Mrs. McMahon
was at the lawyers side.
a moment later black rawhidc was
Kissing through the air and raising livid
welts on the face and neck OF ATTORNEY
McIIuyh. The lawyer dropped his
brief and rushed to The corner of the
court room Oh the loft of the Judge. The
woman followed and gave him the length
and breadth OF the leather once, twice,
thrice.
Then State Custodian Peter Smith
jumped and stepped toward the corner
i'll which the sensational thrashing was
going on. Mrs. Mcmahon wheeled
around suddenly and caught him with a
stinging slash across the face. Round
the head and shoulders of Smith fell the
rawhlde. Meanwhile the husband had
taken hand in the affair. When his
wife Greeted her attention to the State
custodian he tn"r.nd the lawyer and
pounded the unfortunate Mchugh all
over the court room.
At this point Judge Kohlsa 1T called in

HOW ALMY WAS CAPTURED.
slrCsman PerChed on n Ladder Made
Terms with the Crowd.

HANOVER, n. H., Aug. 2O.-Frank G..
Almy, who murdered the young woman,
Christie Warden, under circumstances
Of peculiar atrocity a week or two ago,
was this morning discovered in Mr.
Warden's barn. Almy fired fifteen shots
at his pursuers and slightly wounded
AFRO Turner, of Norwich, Vt.
a conference was then held whether
the barn should be burned or an attempt
made to capture Almy alive. The lat
ter course was determined upoT. a
committee headed by ex-sheriff Bridg-
man entered the barn and opened nego
tiations with Almy. The latter said,
"lt you will guarantee me protection,
will give up my arms anu surrender;
otherwise, will sell my life dearly"
Brdgman, after cOnversing with Al
my returned and mounting the ladder
leaning against the house said to the
crowd: "Fellow citizens: Almy has
been found. Now | call upon you In the
name of law and good order to restrain
your anger and let the law take its
course with this foul murder. | say,
at the request Of the county officials,
we have as good courts as there are on
the face of the earth"
These remarks were greeted with
cries of "Y rs, yes, let the law takes its
course" and it was agreed that Almy
should be left in the hands of the law.
Bridgman, who was still perched on
the Ladder, said: "Your assurances that
Almy shall be dealt with according to
law is satisfactory. promise you shall
have all the opportunity to see him.
Form in line on each side of the road
and he shall pass along between the
lines"
The lines were formed, and Almy
finally walked out Of the barn and gave
himself up to the sheriff, followed in
good order 10y the crowd. He was taken

LIMA, o., Aug. 2G.-Rcsiding near
Napoleon, Ohio, is Michael Cramcr and
three wives. Theyall live on a $50, 200
larm, and three houses are used by The
three families with enc head. Cramer
brought his second wife to the farm in
1879, and placed her in cosy house he
had erected for her. Wife No. offered
no obje ;ton. He was arrested at the
time, however, and tried for bigamy,
but escaped on tcchDicality. In 1881
Cramer brought his third wife to The
farm. For some cause, no action was
taken until Monday, when the county
prosecuting attorney completed an in
vestigation and prepared evidence to lay
before the grand Jury.
