rell was guilty of improper conduct
with w. c. Shaw, a handsome and
wealthy young bachelor, t~hirty-two
years old, who lives at $50 Columbia
street, Brooklyn. Harrell states that he
will bring suit against Shaw for $5o'OOO
damages for alienation of his wife's az
fections.
Mr.. Shaw Is a paper-stock dealer and
broker, and is said to do a business OF
several hundred thousand dollar a year.

six years ago.
She had many %suitors, among whom

In order to get his wife away from
