A WITCH,
Is What the Husband and Relatives
of Bridget Cleary Thought She
Was, So They Burned Her to Death.

Dublin, July 5-MichaeI Cleary, Of
Ballyvadiea, near Clonmel, was convict
ed of manslaughter to-day in causing
the death of his wife, Bridget Cleary,
at Ballyvadlea, on March IA, last, by
burning and otherwise ill-treating her
on the ground that she was bewitched.
The so-called Clonmel witch tragedy
is one of the most remarkable in the
annals of crime in Ireland. Michael
Cleary, husband of the deceased; Pat
rick Boland, her father; William, Pat
rick, Michael and James Kennedy,
cousins; Mary Kennedy, aunt; and Pat
rick Dunno, VIM. Ahearn and Dennis
Ganey, the latter known as the fam
lily DOCTOR were jointly arrested and
charged with burning and ill-treating
Mrs. Cleary until death releaved her
from further suffering.
The evidence showed that she was
suffering from nervousness and bron-
chitis and that her husband, believing
her to be bewitched, forced a nauseous
decoction down her throat foG. G.he pur-
pose of exercising the evil spirit. After
this the unfortunate woman was held
over a fire and dreadfully burned until
she declared in the name of God that
she was not Cleary's wife. This tor
ture was repeated and in the end her
husband knocked her down, stripped
off her clothing, poured paraffine over
her body, lighted it and the woman
burned to death in the presence of her
relatives. Cleary claimed that he was
not burning his wife but a witch. The
prisoner narrowly escaped lynching at
the hands of the crowd in and about
the court room at Clonmel when they
were first examined. and they had to be
taken to the Jail under a strong escort.

Philadelphia, Pa, July 5.--Dr. Gilbert
Joseph Palen, one of Philalelphia's
most prominent society men, was ar
rested on a sherif's capias, on Tuesday
last, on writ charging him with
breach Of promise of marriage. The
plaintiff is Miss Margaret May Thomp-
son, and when the case reaches trial it
is said that some very interesting, not
to say sensational developments, will
result.
DR.. Palen is son Of DR.. G.. E. Palen,
of this city, and a nephew of the late
Jay Gould. He is we'll known in so
ciety circles here and in New York.
On June II he was married to Mary
Eleanor Adamson, daughter of VIM.
AdamsOn, Negley's Hill, Germantown.
The wedding was an unusually swell
affair, and was the occasion OF the gem
eral turnout Of the wealth and fashion
Of the two great cities. Among those
present were Miss Helen NJ. Gould, Mr..
and Mrs. Edwin Gould, f. Jay Gould,
and others Of that distinguished family,
who made the journey from New York
to Philadelphia and return on a four
in-hand coach, the trip attracting much
public attention at the time A bril-
Hant reception followed at Mr.. Adam
sons house and the newly welded pair
left
FOR A HONEYMOON TRIP
through the South and West. Thus
far everything had proceeded as merrily
as the preverbial and appropriate mar
riage bell, but there was disaster in
store.
Young DR.. Palen had met and loved
Miss Thompson, a young and very at
tractive professional nurse, and ac-
cOrding to this young woman's story hA
promised her marriage and let it be
known far and wide that it was their
intention to become man and wife.
This understanding continued, says the
plaintiff, until her eyes were suddenly
opened by the intelligence that DR..
Palen was wOoing another. This was
finally confirmed by his marriage to
Miss AdamS0n.
After consulting with her friends, an
attorney was instructed to institute
proceedings in breach Of promise, and
week or so ago they were begun in
the Court Of Common Pleas. The re-
suit was that Judge Sulzberg directed
a capias to issue for DR.. Palen's arrest,
the bail being placed at $1,000.
In the course of their honeymoon
wanderings DR.. Palen and his bride
finally arrived at Ocean City, N. j., anA
there the doctor was watched by officers
representing the plaintiff until he left
for Philadelphia, on Tuesday last.
Upon his arrival home the writ was
quietly served and the bridegroom ac-
companied the officers to the sherif's
Office, where two friends became his
bondsmen.
