The complaining witness was Mrs.
Theresa Seedsr. who testified that she
anl Eugene j. Seeder were married in
Tienua, Austria, Twelve years ago.
Theirs was a happy life tor several years.
Seeder was devoted to his wife, and be-
ing possessed of some money. ne pro-
vided for her comfort generously. SIX
years after his marriage Seader met J ulia
Dienbold, who lived in an adjoining
province, and he became infatuated with
her. She was not young D pretty, d
she was we'll educated and possessed OF
talents. During the year chat followed
the first meeting of Seeder and Miss
Dienbold, the wife was neglected by
Seeder, who passed the greater portion OF
his time with the object OF his in-
tatpation.
Mrs. Seeder learned the reason OF her

and protested with her husband. He
promised TO give up his newly found
love and for q few weeks :acted the part
OF a truly repentant husband, but at the
expiration OF that time. just five years
ago, De fled with Julia Dlennold to this
country. They located in Brooklyn aud
Seeder became a real estate agent and
did a good business. His wife searched
for him continually after his desertion
uutil two years ago when she learned
that the guilty couple were in the City
OF Churches. and lived at No. 1873 Voor-
hess street.
Mrs. Seeder n day in last August
arrived in this country, and as soon as
she landed got into a cAb and was driven
TO the nome of her husband. she found
him and Miss Dein bold there. She de-
manded that Seedar should turn the
woman out of the house and rsinstHte
his wife in her lawful position. Seeder
refused to do this, but after some words
offered TO let his wife have two
rooms in the house to live in. She
mad told him that she had no
searching for him with a hope of regain
ing his love and once more having a
happy home. Seeder was firm In his de-
cisloi and the poor wife. with still a hope
that she might win back her husband,
accepted the offer OF two room and forced
herself to submit to the indignity Of liv-
ing In a house presided over by her bus
bands mistress,
The three people lived thus until May
20 last, when Seeder, becoming ashamed
OF his conduct and annoyed at the
presence of his wife. again fled from his
home taking with him Julia Dienbold.
They went To the Cleft mansion kept By
Minnie Hoffman at Weehawken, and
lived thete until June 2, when the aban-
doned wife again found them. She
went to the house and was met
by Miss Dienbold, who became outraged
at the sight OF tue unwelcoine visitor.
Miss Dienbold wrenched from Mrs.
Seeder's hand an umbrella and beat her
with it SO severely thas the abused wife
called for help and some people In the
house came to her assistance.
Mrs. Seeder left the houss. and, having
reached that point where patience
ceases to be a virtue she caused the
arrest OF her husband and Miss DieubJld
During the trial yesterday Seeder and
Miss Dienbold admitted the facts related
by the abused wife to be true, nut each
appeared to think that they had been i'll
treated by the ili-used wife, who had
refused TO allow them TO live together.

the Dienboid woman to three mouths
each In the Penitentiary aud a fine of
$14 aud costs. To-Day the Judge recon-
siaered this sentence and made the pun
ishment only a fiue of $14 e ,ch for un-
lawfully living together, and SIS fiue for
Miss Dienbold for the assault an d bat
terry on Mrs. Seeder.
