GAVE AWAY A HUSBAND.
The Most Generous Woman in the
World Lives in Brooklyn.

y
From the Neio York World.
Lawrence Stephen futile, married man,
eloped few weeks ago with Louisa Duesing
from her mothers home, No. 4O7 McKibben
street, Brooklyn.
Mrs. Duesing caused the arrest of the
pair Two or three days ago during her
absence from home, she says futile and her
! daughter came to her home ard took away
quantity of clothing, silverware and
other valuables. She got a warrant for
Tuttles arrest on q charge Of grand larceny
and her daughter on that Of vagrancY.
They were both convicted on Friday and
were remanded for sentence until yester-
| day.
When futile was called to the bar a
rather pleasant faced looking woman of 25
rose from her seat in the court room and
came toward the magistrates desk.
Before you sentence the prisoner can l
speak, your honorN she SAID TO Justice
| Goetting.
''Is it anything relevant TO the cassl" said
the magistrate.
Yes, sir" was the reply.
Then you can say what you desire"
futile, who had been watching the woman
with look ia which fear and amazement
were equally divided, stood aside. Louisa
dried her tears and waited with intense in
terest for the woman to speak.
My name is Mary Tuttle," said the
voluntary witness. az am the wife of the
male prisoner. We have been married for
some years, have one child. and until last
| summer lived very happily together We
went TO board at Coney Island in July last
There we made the acquaintance OF the
| girl, Louisa Duesing. She was introduced
TO us by mutual friends. From that mo-
ment my husband was a changed man, at
least as far as | was concerned. A wife's
eyes are keen In matters of this kind, and
saw that he had fallen deeply in love
with the girl.
81 did my utmost to win back his aflec-
tions but failed. He seemed to have no
eyes or ears for anybody else but Louisa.
She too seemed to return his love. For a
couple of months this Siud of thing went on
and the affection Of the couple seemed to
increase. At length gave up the task of
trying TO get back my husband and found
that he was spending every spare moment
with her. l knew his nature well enough
to know that TO attempt to stem the tide
would be useless and l accepted the inev-
liable.
Shortly after this Stephen left me alto
gether. | was then living on South Fourth
street, near briggs avenue. together with
married sister. The next thing hoard was
Duesing. l next moved to South Third
street, and from that time until tho present
have seen nothing of him."
"Well" said the justice.
snow, judge" went on Mrs. futile, "he
has always been good man to me apart
from his weakness for the girl. While he
was away from me he sent me money
regularly. Heis an honorable man, but ho
can't fight against this attraction for
Louisa. L rike him still enough to try aud
make him happy. If he viii marry her
will do all in my power to aid him to get a
divorce"
Justice Goetting looked astonished at this.
futile gasped with establishment and Louisa
began to laugh Historically.
"Ihave nothing to do with your future"
said his honor. SIS that all you have to
say"
"Yes, sir. said Mrs futile.
At this point Mrs. Duesing interfered.
She said that she thought she had made
mistake ia charging TutJle with stealing
her siIverware. Louisa, too, had promised
to be good girl if she was set free.
Judge Goetting, after some hesitation, re-
considered his decision and discharged the
prisoners. The quartet left the court to-
gether. When his honor set futile free the
latter turned and held out his hand to his
exceedingly generous wife. She grasped it,
and tho pair shook hands warmly. and he
thanked her for himself and his new-found
