don hotel. where arrangements had been
made for her to meet the American lawyer.
The lawyer was late In arriving, and Mrs
Drayton and ''B" went into another room,
where they had lunch. waiter being in the
room with them. While they were I'm this
room Drayton and two men, presumably
detectives, entered and identified her, after
wards departing. After this. in accordance
with an ARRANGEMENT between her lawyer
and her husbands lawyer, Mrs. Drayton
went to Wimbledon to bid her children good
bye. She then went to Paris to meet her
father, who persuaded her TO seek recon-
cliation for the sake of the children. The
Chancellor says he Is satisfied that this
effort at reconciliation was made in good
faith by Mrs. Drayton, but was rejected by
her husband because of his continued belief
in her uufaithfulness. He points out that
the legal time for bringing suit for de-
sertion had elapsed and that the desertion
was willful continued and obstinate. The
only point. he SAYS, was whether the de-
sertion was justifiable. He refers to the
fact that the husbands suit for divorce on
the ground of adultery was not brought un-
til June, 1894, and that since that time no
proof of adultery had been adduced, but that
in the present suit the husband had made
no charge of adultery, but contented himself
with denial of the deserton.

Mccormack has been missing innumerable
small articles from his barn and he notified

standing near the door and ordered him out
Davis started TO comply when Wittig
changed his mind and concluded to have
him arrested. He called him TO halt, but
Davis broke into run. Just as he reached
the middle of the street Wittig fired at him.
The bail struck Davis and he fingered in
mortal agony for about twenty-four hours
Yesterday morning Wittig was arrested on
the charge of shooting with intent to kill
but was released on 500 bond signed by
his employer. When ii became known that
Davis would die he was rearrested and put
in jail This morning he was given pre-
