with "Greenway Court" which may be
related here: Gen. Braddock in his

where he lost both his army and his

Tor $4,000, and is brought by Miss
Cora Fidler, leading society belle of
Wernersville, against DR.. w. S. Bueh-
Ter, a prominent young physician of the
me plnce.
The fair plaintiff was on the stand the
greater part of the forenoon, and told a
pathetic story Of how she had been de-
iuded by her supposed lover. She said
they became acquainted in 1890, while
they were neighbors, and the doctor
continued TO pay attentions to ner until
February %, 1895. On July % follow
lug he married another girl.
During their courtship he frequently
took her carriage riding, and many
times they went to church together.
1t was iD February, 1895, that the doc
tor, she says, promised to marry her, and
ne never told her he had changed his
mind until after he was married to the
other girl She had received about one
hundred love letters from him. He ad
dressed them Dear Cora" Cora
Dear" Dear Friend" and used other
like expressions.
The defendant admitted his acquaint-
ance with the plaintiff, and said he o.
ten called upon her and took her out
carriage riding, but simply as an act of
friendship. He was frequently called
20 the house professionally, as she was
an invalid at that time. The letters,
which had since been destroyed, were
written out of mere friendship. He
verintended marrying the girl, and
had never promised her that he would.
