field-Hogan divorce case today the
plaintiff, Aaron Hershfeld, testified to
having been overworked as cashier at

thoughts upon any subject. He told of
the DEFENDANTS visiting him at the
bank, having a check cashed and ask
ing him to obtain a situation for her,
and said she next called at his rooms
over the bank on Sunday and asked
about the situation She stayed about
an hour, and at that time he became
criminally intimate with her She fre-
quently visited him after that date.
He paid her from $1,000 to $1,000 during
the six months. She charged him with
being the father of her unborn babe,
made threats what her brothers would
do, and one night two men jumped
out of an alley on the side of the street
and told him they would kill him unless
he married the girl He agreed to do
so and afterwards fulfilled his promise.
They made an agreement OF settlement
at that time, but he lost his pocket
book containing this paper. The case
is exciting this city far more than any

Personal PROPERTY.

The failure to collect the tax on per
sonal property in anything like It's proper
amount In this city is notorious. Per
haps 1t Is the fault OF the law. which
makes the process Of swearing off, far
too easy. Perhaps it Is the political char
actcr of the heads OF tho Tax Depart
ment. which lnterferes with their indie
pendent and equitable discharge OF their
duties Perhaps, and most probably. II
Is both of these combined.
1t Is outrageous that while the valua-
ton of real estate Keeps mounting higher
ana higher, by the addition OF many mill
tons every year, the valuation of per
sunal estate remains nearly stationary
or goes backward. Yet every year the
people OF New York grow richer and
richer. and the evidences OF wealth in
Gorgeously furnished mansions, we'll
supplied art galleries. dazzling jewelry
and gaudy equpages are constantly be
fore the eyes of the people.
1t is very well known, for Instance,
that princely fortunes have been made
recently by political bosses. Yet some
how not one OF them Is assessed for per
sonal property. This IL. no doubt, due
to the political affiliations of the Com
m,ssioners. Numbers OF names are not
found on the assessment rolls whose per
sonal estate is known to be large.

time ago by the assessment Of the Goulds

are seeking to initiate their ancestor In

residence to the country. But the Tax
Commissioners announce their determi-

OF the law on the ground that the securi-
ties of the estate are held here.

will be successful. At all events, they

TWO REMARKABLE CASES.

Two singular cases are attracting the
particular attention OF the lawyers just
now.
Myer !. Stein. n reputable young at
torncy, testified in the MCArdle-Don-
nelly shooting trial that he took a PTS
toll from one Of the MrArdlc party who
had fred It at Donnelly. The pistol,
which Stein sworc he had kept in his
possession ever since the occurrence.
was produced in court.
Subsequently the manufacturers of
the pistol testified that II had not been
sold out of the factory until ten days
after the shooting. The weapon was
identified by its registered number.
Mr.. Stein, who is indicted for perjury,
declares that somebody must have sub
stitutcd the pistol produced in court for
the one he took from the McArdlc party.
In the other case It Is charged that 1t
lawyer named Jacobs obtained 1--WE hun
dred dollars from n female client, who
had n suit In the Civil Court before
Judge Ehrlich, on the pretense that II
was needed to fix the judge" The suit
was decided in the woman's favor.
Judge Enrich, who has borne an ex-
cellent reputation, positively denies all
knowledge of the transaction, and finds
from the records of the suit that 1t was
decided on its merits in accordance with
the evidence. No one who knows Judge
Ehrlich believes him capable OF taking
bride.
Both these cases demand II complete
and satisfactory clearing up. Every
body wishes to gee the Bench and the
Ear freed from even the suspicion ui
blackmail and perjury.
