8 About the first move made yesterday in
tbesWise divorce suit was motion by
dsfepdant's attorneys that Mrs. Wise be
nonisuited If this motion had been
granted Wise would then have proceeded
at once with his counter charges and
asked for a divorce himself. 1t was argued
BY the attorneys for the defendant that
1piproof had been adduced by the plain
tiff I that her husband had treated her
cruelty. His jealousy had been shown,
but;jealousy was not legal ground for
divorce. The court denied the motion.
ATTORNEY Munday then addressed the
copft upon the subject of Mr.. Cooke,
brother of Mrs. Nellie. Wise, who had
been reborted to him as having threat
ened to smash, the faces of witnesses ad-
verse to his sister. Judge Mckinley re-
minded the lawyer that there wa IS a
rnoIus operandi in such cases made ana
provided, with which he was acquainted
and that it would be proper to follow
that in case the matter was to be brought
to the judicial notice of the bench.
a,Jan1es Murphy, railroad man, who
was,once an East Side neighbor of the
Wfees,s was called to testify as to Mrs.
Wise behavior to her child, Pearl Mar
enerite. in 1891. Sometimes, he said, she
grossly. He had seen Mrs. Wise once TAX
ing her by the hair and slapping her
face. ,On other occasions he had heard
the mother calling her child bad names.
The language that was used is unfit for
publication. This witness contradicted
those introduced by Mrs. Wise in that he
testified to having frequently seen Mr..
Wise washing up after returning from his
work. He would then sit on the porch
awaiting Mrs Wise's arrival ana a chance
for a. bite of supper. The witness said
that Mrs. Wise often left the child IN the
care of others and would remain out as
late as Q clock or even II O'Clock at
night. He had seen her out in the even
iag with strange gentlemen.
Il Among the occasions mentioned was
that Of meeting her on Broadway, near
the city. hall, one night about two months
ado, with tall, light complexioned gem
tfeman. They appeared to be .iourneying
toward the rear entrance OF saloon
which. can be reached from tue back OF
the city ball. Mrs. Wise had repeatedly
asked Mrs. Murphy to accompany her to
the Palace saloon, but witness had OBJ
iegted Mrs. Wise had ma ntained that it
wsS proper place for ladies to visit and
thAe she had been. there many times.
The cross-examination of Mr.. Murphy
bytMr. Appel disclosed the fact that his
wife had seen Mr. Wise sitting on the
porch to await the return of his consort.
a Qreat nlanv more times than he hau
himself, and that she had kept much
keerer watch OH Mrs. Wise's movements
tnaiis he, all of which she told to him
when he came home from his runs.
Several witnesses succeeded each other
whose testimony was uninteresting. Mrs.
Bachman, a lady mem ber of the Angelina
Circle of Foresters, told a very sad tale.
She, Mrs. Wise, Mrs. CARRIER and Mr..
Wise were returning from logdge meet
ing one night. Opposite the. Palace Mrs.
Wise asked Frank (the defendant) to take
the ladies down and treat them to a glass
of beer Wise would not come up to time
and his wife just rushed him down into
the palatial beerb asement. And when she
returned home she was severely lectured
The lady was not permitted to say who
administered, the lecture, but it was pre-
sumably one of the curtain variety de-
livcred sby Mr.. Bachman Later Mrs.
Bachman had met Mrs. Wise at Mrs.
Murphyss, and she made some pointed in
auiries as ito the kind of a place it was
that she had been inveigled into. Mrs.
Wise said that it was very respectable
resort and that she had been there many
times.
AN attache of the California club, Will
Jams by name, gave testimony of more
than ordinary importance for the defend
ant. He said that as far as he had means
to know, and he had been a next-door
neighbor to THE Wises. the gasfitter had
bsen model husband and always kind
to his wife. He used to clean himself
and dress up in \ boiled shirt always after
his daily work was done. Mr.. Williams
had great way with him of preluding
exefy answer with why" When he had
used that word for while be would
change it for WELL" But "Why!'' was
the fayorite ejaculation.
mr.. Williams had met Mrs. Wise on sew
eraI occasions at night when she was out
insthe company of gentlemen not at Ill
Ike eyher husband. She had been noticed
ohe.nignt by him going into a saloon by
its side entrance on Fifth street. Her
escort was tall man, light complexion
cd, who wore a:suit of a light color. At
smother time, as he was going out of the
Anheuser saloon by the back way, he had
met Mrs. Wise coming into the corridor:
withsher came man. He had also seen
Her There with a short man, whom he did
nottknow.
The witness also related that he had
sYen Wise find his little. girl. Pearl near
the Sixth street park. The child said her
mother had been gone since morning and
that she had nothing to eat since that
time So father and daughter trudged
lome..i Having no key to get in and Mrs
Wise being away, the two unfortunates
had tocrawl in through a window to get
st;the eatables in the pantry. Witness
said that he had not seen Wise drunk
witnin%one year.
The case, which will probably reach
decision today. will be resumed at 8 am.
