A QUEER PosT-BELLUM LAWSUIT
Case of Man Against Another Who
Had Taken His Wife, Family. and
From the New York Sun.

FROM tub New 1OIk gun.
81 have had something to do with
good many queer lawsuits said eX-
United States Marshal Archie Baxter, of
Elmira, but l think the one of Evans
against Tiff was the queerest one of all.
Howlan Evans was farm labOrer, and
Reuben Tiff, well-to-do and prominent
farmer for whom Evans frequently
worked. They lived in the town of Vet
eran, in Chemung county. Evans lived
with his wife and three young children
not far from the Tiff farm. In 1864
Evans enlisted in the army and received
bounty of 500. This money he placed
in the hands of Farmer Tiff for safe
keeping, with the injunction that the lat
ter should look after the interests of
Evans family while he was at the front
with his regiment.
about the time that Evans went to
the war Farmer lifts wife died. Then
Tiff began to pay very marked attention
to Soldier Evans's wife. Evans at times
forwarded money to Tiff, in all, as he
claimed, nearly 5000. In the spring of
1865 Tiff decided to Mrs. Evans a house
and twelve acres of land, and soon after
that the woman took her children and all
her household goods and the personal be-
longings of herself and absent husband,
and went to live with Tiff on his farm.
When Evans camei home from the war,
oOOi dAbCA bAAGtbt llG lOulNA bAltlp nc lltiO lO
wife, children, or home, and all his efforts
to recover his money and property and
custody of his children were unavailing.
His children grew up under Tiff and
married. Mrs Evans had applied for a
divorce from her husband while he was
in the army, and it was granted to her
not long after he came back. Then she
married Tiht. -
evans was advised to bring suit
acrainGf bic Nyifa'c eappnd hJIc hand IN
cover his 800 bounty money and other
moneys that he had sent to Tiff while in
the army. The case came up in the Che
mng county court, and was appointed
referee to hear and report on it, Tiff
defended the suit, and his defense was
courageous, to say the least. He ad-
mttted having received Evans bounty
money and the remittances, but he put in
a claim for boarding the plaintiffs chill
dren, although 1t was in evidence that he
had kept them against the fathers
wishes, and in spite of his efforts to re-
cover the custody of them. = . -t.' -...
"Tifft also ,galteged that Evans was to
pay him out Of the money for the house
and land the former had decided to Mrs
Evans as he had made the transfer to
her at Evans request, so that she might
have home. Evans proved, though,
that his wife had never occupied the
house, but had gone to live with Tiff i'm
mediately after the transfer was made,
and subsequently sold the place for 5000
and gave the money to lift. The de-
PENDANT also put in as an Offset a charge
of $3.50 which he had given one of Evans
daughters when she was married.
1t was, in short, case of one man
having taken possession of another man S
family and property, and then insisting
that the other man should pay him for
doing it. / thought Evans had the best
end of the suit, and so reported l sup
pose he got his money"

The ambulance had been called to 1929

Connarty, it is said, drove the ambulance
into an alley way, where he left it to en-

to which the patients were subjected has
probably placed them beyon recovery.
