A CURIOUS DEFINITION.
Judge Clark Orders Judgment in the
Billmeyer Case.

Mrs. Matte Billmeyer is no longer the
wife of Ernest F. Billmeyer and doubt
less that will be a satisfaction to her.
But Judge Clark was so flinty hearted
as to award the decree to her husband,
and that must be bitter-sweet to Mrs
Matte after her many allegations of
cruelty.
In making the order yesterday the
court modified the original order regard
ing attorneys fees and fixed those of the
plaintiff at S175 small portion of which
was paid. Upon the defendant paying
$135, the balance due, findings and judg-
ment will be entered in his favor.
In the trial of this suit there was much
that was curious. very much that was
incongruious and the entire case was
enveloped in halo of prurience and in
decency.
Without in any way wishing to advert
in detail to the testimony one little in
cident may be mentioned as illustrating
the curious mental equipment with
which Mrs. Billmeyer, who by the way,
is quite pretty and quite young woma n,
is endowed. She was asked regarding
her visits to the Richelieu saloon and
made answer that she had visited the
place with lady and also woman, and
then again with lady-who also was u
woman"
The distinction drawn in Mrs. Billmey-
eI IlllIlu 0CtWceH d lduy. d woman ana
a lady who was at the same time wo-
man, would not be at first apparent to
the ordinary mind but examining coun-
sci hit the mark. He asked if she meant
by a woman, as distinguished from a
lady woman of easy virtue. She re-
piled that she did. Upon being pressed
as to whether she meant woman of the
town she replied no, only lone who lived
in privacy
What grades of social distinction must
exist in the half world, and how Mrs.
Billmeyer recognized in matter of fact
way these shades of difference in the
evil doer.
Albeit Mr.. Billmeyer has obtained the
decree it does not seem as if he has much
to be proud Of He was first introduced
to his wife in a saloon and after his mar
riage took her along with him into the
fast resorts of the city. In thus sowing
tie wind it was but natural that he
should reap the whirlwind, and he has
not probably had much sympathy in the
garnering of his crop.

that took the audience by storm.
Mrs. Simpson in Inching and Inching

The Marine quartet comedy four add

The banjo trio made the scene real

After what has seemed intermin BILE
litigation, costing vast amount of
money which has been eaten up by the
lawyers. the estate of the deceased An
ME Pratt is about to be closed.
The suit of Riland c. Goodspeed and
E. L. Campbell. as administrators of the
estate of Annie A. Pratt, deceased,
against Frank N. Meyers and Daniel
Sullivan, as special administrators of
the estate of Lucy C. Goodspeed, de-
ceased. came up before Judge Shaw yes
terday in department five.
The lengthy trial before Judge Clark,
wherein the competency of the will of
Annie A. Pratt was called into question,
will still be fresh in the minds of many
people. But since then death has been
busy among the contestants, and Mrs.
Lucy Goodspeed and General Mansfield
have both passed away.
Mrs. Anie A. Pratt died in February,
1894, and Mrs. Lucy Goodspeed was ap-
pointed Administrative of the estate.
After litigation in San Francisco. en-
during the uncertainties of lengthy
trial in this city, and further litigation
in San Francisco, she filed her annual
account and report of her proceedings as
Administrative and then died. in March
of the current year. A sediment of the
account had not been made and so F. NJ
Meyers and Daniel Sullivan were ap-
pointed by the court north as special ad-
ministrators, and given power to take
such proceedings as might be necessary
to settle said account.
The plaintiffs in the present action
claimed that upon settlement between
the parties to the suit large sum of
money will be due and owing from the
estate of Lucy c. Goodspeed to the An
ME A. Pratt estate. and plaintiffs ask
that they be awarded judgment for such
amount as may be found to be due. 1t
Is understood that, in round numbers,
the estate is worth about $3.50, 900.
j. c. and E. l.. Campbell rep
resent the Annie Pratt interest in the
present suit. while F. C. Fanlon
continues to guard the interests of the
estate of Lucy Goodspeed. The entire
afternoon yesterday was given UP to

counts after which the case was submit
