A PARISIAN IUFAMY.
Mrs. Deacon Wins Her Ap-
peal Against Her IN
jured Husband.
SHE MAY SUE FOR DIVORCE,
Her Husband Must Pay the costs
May See Her Children.

PARIS, Nov. %, 1892 The First Cham
down It's decision in the Deacon case.
Judgment was given for Mrs. Deacon.
and it was ordered that the child Gladys
be returned to the convent. where both
Mr.. and Mrs. Deacon shall be allowed to
visit her. Mr.. Deacon was ordered TO pay
the costs.
Mr.. Deacon stated today that the latest
offer made to him by his wife's lawyers
was that she would not oppose an applica-
tion by him TO the court at AK for an
absolute divorce; thai she would sur
render all the children TO him, and also
at once drop the name of Deacon.
Mr.. Deacon said he would gladly accept
compromise in order to spare his wife
the ignominy in standing in the dock at
AK, and would allow her to keep the
baby so long as she led moral life, but
he doubts whether she would keep her
word
Possibly an arrangement will be
effected before December 8, when the case
opens at AK.
HAS NEVER SPOKEN.
Mrs. Deacon's brother has written
letter TO press representative
stating that under the advice of
her lawyers, his sister has never
since the beginning of the unhappy
affair said anything to either the Ameri-
can or French press.
Mr. Deacon, on the contrary, has never
ceased receiving reporters and has paid
certain journals to publish garbled Rc-
counts OF the affair. He has also sue
ceeded in closing the papers against his
wife and her friends. Her silence and his
INSCRIPTIONS loquacitY have blackened
her character on both sides OF the At
lantic. The brother adds:
Hence it is that speak for the first
time. If 1were TO relate the cases of his
cruelty to my sister. his insults to her
friends, and his conduct towards her four
little girls. l would require columns. My
family have persuaded her to bear all
rather than make public her domestic
troubles.
DEACON ATTACKED.
Mr.. Deacon is convinced that she will
demand divorce sooner or later, and he
Is determined to prevent her from getting
one in her favor, Herein lies the real
cause of the shooting of Abeille, Deacon
wishing to fix upon his wife the stigma of
adultery.
"A few days before the tragedy. Mr..
Deacon opened a drawer in his
wife's desk and destroyed all
the letters he wrote to her from
America that were likely to hurt his
cause, carefully leaving those of friendly
nature. He is now bent upon doing all
he can to destroy her."
The charges made against Mr.. Deacon
are denied by his friends.
Mrs. Deacon's appeal was against n
decision that she could not apply for a
divorce.
