She refused 10 have anything to say
to reporters this morning In regard TO
her suit against Miss Dempsey, but II
was easy TO see from her determined
air that she was going TO tight II to the
bitter end. Her lawyer is Christopher

he was married in 1889, when at The
time he had another wife living.
Springster, according to the story told
by the complainant, has been living a
double life successfully for five years.
He told the woman thai he was a
travelling agent. and this took him out
OF the city a good part of the time. 1t

~Springster, but at Ellery street he was
known as Julius.
Mrs. Minnie Springster had one child,
but 1t died shortly before Easter, and
the funeral occurred Easter Monday.
Among the mourners was a woman, who
looked at the mother in surprise and
finally said to her:
There must be some mistake here.
That man over there is Mr.. Springster.
but you are not his wife"
Mrs. ~Springster protested that she was.
The two women argued the matter, and

On the way back from the cemetery,
Mrs. Minnie upbraided her husband for
his conduct and he answered that the
charges were all false and he would
prove 1t. Within an hour after they ar
rived nome he went away, leaving his
wife heartbroken and penniless.
The woman has a good deal of deter
mination, however. and she decided she
would find her husband. After several
weeks she located him at 200 Ellery
street, and %Springster was arrested this
morning by officer Carroll. He had
nothing to say when arraigned in court.
