SMITH CASE RESUMED.
More Testimony in a Very Extra

NAOT0 1e0llmOuy In a very kCxlfae
ordinary Proceeding in Cbancery.
This afternoon the peculiar divorce suit
brought by William p. Smith, decora-
tive artist, residing on Grant avenue,
Jersey City, against his wife, Minnie,
was resumed. One of the very extraordi-
nary facts in the case Is that the hus-
band attributes his domestic troubles to
his wife's father, Theodore Wamdell. a
detective in the Eqnita Building. New
York City. and says that his father-in-
law has alienated his daughters affec-
ton for her husband. Mrs. Smith resides
now with Ter father in Rutherford
Another queer circumstance is that
Mrs. Theodore Wandell is suing her hus-
band for desertion and alleges the same
reason as her son-in-law for the deser-
ton. Vice Chancellor Stevens set down
Mrs. Wandell's case this morning for a
hearing il October next
Vice Chancellor Pitney this afternoon
heard the son-in-law's suit. AT the last
hearing CounSellorS Robert Carey and
w. H. Speer, Jr.. for Smith, put II proof
of the affectionate relations between the
father and daughter while the latter was
living with her husband. They also put
on the stand former servant of MIR.
and Mrs. Smith, a girl named Knoblosh,
whose testimony astonished the Court.
She said that one morning she discov-
cred Mrs. Smith in her fathers room in
a compromising position. This afternoon
the husbands lawyers submitted letters
from Mrs. Smith showing the change in
her style in addressing her husband af-
ter the arrival of Wandell on the scene

NEW YORK, June p, 1896. Mr. Charles
W Brooke began his summing up this
morning fer Mrs. Fleming. accused of
poisoning her mother Evelina NJ. Bliss,
on August 30 1895.
This defendant" !" said he, '1s charged
with poisoning her mother on August 80,
1895 Gentlemen Of The jury, nature re-
volts from this horrible charge-that of
a daughter poisoning her own mother
Counsel then went on to discuss the
evidence. He said that on August 30,
1896, one portion Of clam chowder was
brought to Mrs. Fleming's room in the
Colonial Hotel
And gentlemen, remember, that on the
S0th OF August, in the dog days of sum-
mer. this clam chowder remained in the
heat of that room on the southerly side
of the hotel, for five or six hours. To-
wards the close. of the day late in the
afternoon, the prosecution state that this
clam chowder was brought in a pail to
the home Of Grandma Bliss on ST. Nicho-
las avenue The chowder must have been
old by the time 1t reached the 1lat.'
Mr.. Brooke then laid great stress on
the fact that Florence King, the little
girl who went with Oracle Fleming to
Grandma Bliss said that Mrs. Fleming
did not tell Oracle to take that clam
choWder," but she said .ttake that pitch
err
Florence King said Mr.. Brooke. "tes-
titled that Mrs. Bliss poured the contents
Of the pail into pitcher in the kitchen.
Gentlemen, into what pitcher was the
clam cnowder poured? The District At
torney did not ask Florence King to de-
scribe the pitcher
Gentlemen" shouted Mr.. Brooke, tsif
it were poisoned chowder and entrusted
to the care of her own child, it would
have been perfectly natural that the eau
ton would come from the mother in ad-
vance before the chowder was sent; but
the words have no significance whatever
when told to the child on her return"
