TEN BROECK'S AFFAIRS.
The Administrator Wants to Recover
Moneys Loaned to the Widow.

Judge Hebbard yesterday heard argu-
ments in the suit of George c. Roos, ad-
min strator of the estate Of Richard Ten
Brock. deceased. against the widow,
NJ. c. Ten Brock, to recover S14,700 or
promi5sory notes executed by Mrs. Ten
Broeck for moneys advanced TO her by
her husband.
In 1887 Mrs. Ten Brock was in very
bad beatb and wishing to travel she OBJ
tanned $1,000 for this purpose from her
husband, III return for which she executed
a promissory note The following year a
similar note was executed for an alleged
lean of $780, and now the administrator
wants to get hold Of this money.
Mrs. Ten Broeck's contention is that
The notes were not given for moneys ad-
vanced. She claims that Ten Broack, AS
her husband, was bound to supply her
with money and other Injuries. She also
states that her late husband was insolvent,
and, In fact, was in such serious difficulties
that she executed the prOmissory Do;es,
under the impression that he would be
benefited thereby, as it would be known
where the money went to.
The larger Of the two promissory q 0tes
was executed In Kentucky, and Mrs Ten
Brock claims that by the laws of that
State she W as not held responsible as Ten
Br0eck's wife for any prOmissory note she
N ght execute in his favor.
The widow went on the witness-stand
yesterday, and testified that her late bus
band had no means. but that he got his
money from her. The matter was taken
under AMUSEMENT.

Mrs. Critics Slayer Is
Remanded.
Martin O'NeiI's Attorney Moves for
Dismissal, but 1t Is Prompt
Iy Denied.

The examination of Martin O'Neil, who
is charged with the murder Of Mrs. Cathe-
rine Critics, was resumed in Judge
Joachimsen' court last night. Attorney
Howard McSherry appeared for the peO-
pie and Carroll Cook represented the de-
PENDANT.
Policeman j. 3. Cook was the first wit
ness. He told how he came to arrest the
murderer and described the position of the
murdered woman.
There was blood upon O'Nel'S coat,
was there not?" the attorney asked.
There was. and when l asked him how
1t came there he SAID that IL would come
out all right"
Tie bloody clothes worn by O'Neil on
the night of the murder were shown to the
witness and were identified by him. He
said that the blood on O'Nell's coat was
dry when lie arrested him. but the blood
on the shirt was still vet. ONeips I'M
derclothes, the witness said, were wet with
perspirat0n al the time OF his arrest.
Il asked him who killed the woman"
said the witness, land he answered, she
was IA Il right when left her.
"O'NeiI was drunk. wasn't hep" asked
Carroll Cook.
He could walk we'll enough"
davies was sorry the murder had been
committed in his house? ~
He was"
Did he tell you how manv other women
had been killed in his place?
He did not"
The witness was excused, and Officer
James Aiken was called to the stand.
lie told how he assisted Officer Cook in
the arrest of the murderer and corrobor-
aied Cook 5 testimony.
Detective Der Jam.,. f. Bowen w as called
and repeated the testimony given by him
al the Cnroner's inquest. O'Nei told him
that on June IS he met the woman on TIL e
Terry boat she spoke to him first. 1--WE
hal some drinks together" O'Neil said.
''in the saloon. l left her there sitting
upon a chair"
Have you questioned Davies abou: this
matter?" asked Cook.
Mir. McSheErv objected. "This is not
direct examination" he said
Cook replied that If Davies lad any hand
in the murder the question would be
proper.
yes" answered tho witness.
DID you ever ask him If this death
resembled that OF other women who had
died In his saiOOn?"
The witness answered that lie had asked
such q question. and William Carroll. the
COroner's Janitor. was called. He removed
the clothes from the body of Mrs. Critics,
and testified that to the best of his knowl-
edge anu belief no one but the Coroner and
his deputies had touched the BODY.
O'NepS attorney moved that the case
should be dismissed on the grounds that
no weapon had been pcoouced; that no
evidence had been produced that the
woman had not died natural death. and
that it had not been proved that lie wounds
in the body had not been made after it
was taken 10 the Morgue.
Judge Joachimsen promptly denied the
motion and remanded the prisoner, with
cut bail.

TOO SHORT A SENTENCE.
A Celestial Thinks He Ought to
Have Had Seventy DAYS More.

A whole regiment OF pigtails swarmed
into judge Hunts courtroom yesterday
afternoon headed by Lyman l. Mowry,
special attorney for the Chinese.
The case was that of Mock Ii, who
sued out writ of habeas corpus from a
recent sentence in the police court. 1t
appeared in evidence that Mock Lii had
been guilty of carrying concealed
weapon. and for this crime Police Judge
JoachimSen had fined him $3.50 AS the
Celestial had no means wherewith to pay
this fine the Judge ordered him to be con-
fined in the House of Correction for $50
days. Each days imprisonment was to
count against 81. so that if Mock Ii could
pay the balance any time during his ncar-
ceratIon he could be liberated at once by
so doing.
But the Celestial tired Of prison life and
set his wits TO work to devise some means
Of regaining his liberty. He took legal
advice. snd it resulted in his appearing
before Judge Hunt yesterday.
Attorney Mowry based his argumen
on Il recent decision of the Supreme
Court, which gave out that each days
Imprisonment being valued al 81. fine OF
$3.50 must be eQualzed by $50 days i'm
prisonment. 1t was claimed that Judge
JoachimSen had erred in giving a sentence
IF $50 days, and that the conviction OF
Mock Ii could not stand.
Judge Hunt took the matter under adj
visemeut, meanwhile ordering Mock Lii
back to the House of Correction pending II
decision. TIE Celestial has already
served 100 days Of his sentence.
