missed the case.
| Henry Lamb was sworn and said
that he took In Mrs. Hurrell when she
returned from New York, because she
was In a destitute condition. He. two
or three times, communicated with
Hurrell asking for support for the
woman and has never received any
answer. Lamb also said he took the
woman in despite the fact that Hurrell
had through an advertisement warned
persons against trusting her. This was
about the gist of the action as far as
the defendant is concerned.
Ia his own defence Hurrell said that
he married the woman in Vineland,
and remained there for two weeks,
when he went to New York to secure
employment expecting to send for her.
He left her amply supplied until he
sent after her. He sent for her In due
course of time and she came. Then
they had more trouble and she left
without his knowledge and consent,
and he had not seen her until he came
to court.
On cross-examination it developed
that he had written his wife a very
Objectionable letter, and Lands asked
Hurrell, how he expected his wife
would return after receiving such a
letter, and Hurrell replied, "because
she had a return ticket"
Miss Nettie Hurrell, daughter of the
defendant, said that while in Vineland
his father did not i'll treat or abuse his
wife. In New York, Miss Hurrell said,
there were some troubles jim the do
mestic circle, and she expressed de-
sire to go to Vineland, aud the daugh-
ter purchased her ticket for Vineland
and gave her $5. She did this entirely
without the consent of her father, and
he did not know she had gone until
he arrived home at night from his
| work.
The case wound up amid much mer-
riment, much of which was caused by
the reading of letter written to his
wife by Hurrell, and another from
Lamb to Hurreil.
The case was summed up and Judge
Reed delivered the charge, which was
quite brief, and the Jury went out.
| The jury did not arrive at conclu-
sion very soon, owing to the peculiar
aspect of the case, and it is generally
accepted that the verdict was CON-
promise one, the jury found for the
plaintiff in the sum of $65.
All the petit jurors were excused un.
til Tuesday morning at ten O'Clock.
