A WOMAN DEFENDANT FINDS A DEFAULT
JUDGMENT NO JOKE.

WOMAN DEFENDANT FINDS A DEFAULT
JUDGMENT NO JOKE.
c. NJ Beattie, counsel for Mrs Carrie Totten,
moved yesterday In the City Court before Justice
Fitzsmons to open default entered on July !,
when Henry Eugene Vogel. Worth-st. COM
mission merchant. who lives at the Park Avenue
Hotel, obtained judgment against Mrs. Totten for
1856 49, Vogel in his suit, alleged that he had lent
Mrs Totten $500. which she declined TO repay
Mr.. Beattie submitted to the Court AFFIDAVIT
made by Mrs. Totten in which she denied that
Vogel had ever lent her the money as alleged. and
had never asked for it. She added that she looked
upon the service of the summons and complaint
her a good joke, as Vogel bore the reputation
of being a practical joker. Mrs Totten also sale
in tho affidavit; that he nothing about law.
and in her ignorance allowed the twenty days al
lowed In which to file an answer to expire without
having done So with the result that Voge obtained
his judgment by default. When, however, the exc
cution was placed in the Sheriffs hands and one
of the deputy -sherlns proceeded to levy upon her
property Mrs. Toten failed TO perceive the point OF
the joke, and consulted the lawyer who made the
motion yesterday to have the case replaced on the
calendar.
Referring to vogel Mrs Totten. in her affidavit,
says: He is an old man who made violent love TO
me- which surprised me from man OF his years.
and in view Of the fact that had only looked upon
him as a friend who had called in a social way and
waa Believe he has brought this action be-
cause was incensed his professions OF affection
If he was serious In the action ana II is not the
result OF senility in aged man in the throes OF
fruitless love. l believe he would have asked Tor
any money IL he thought any was due h i'm
Two letters alleged to have been sent by EoSel 10
Mrs Totten read by Mr.. Beattie. In these the
writer said: MY feelings are beyond expression.
That love you no one knows better than yourself
The sorrows Of my poor heart bleed as am writ
ing this that ever gave you anxious moment.
Deal kindly with Eugene and remember that am
always yours and ever anxious TO serve you In any
form at any time with heart and hands widespread
TO serve and with great and Interchangeable love.
The letters Mr.. Beatte said were sent to the de-
PENDANT when her husband was absent from home.
Mrs Totten in her affidavit said that after sending
such letters Vogel would call on Ter and cry In
iovesck way, and sob and sigh so loudly that she
was afraid he would alarm the other occupants OF
the apartment-house
Mr.. Beatte closed his application by saying that
Mrs Totten had suffered much from the violent
lovema king Of her ancient admrer that he thought
her default should be opened without costs. AS
she got no money from him she had right 10
suppose the summons in the suit was in the line OF
enforc cling consideration on her part for him. and
was a sort of love-tag. Justice Fitzsimons took
the papers and reserved decision.

When the committee was appointed last spring, II

members to listen to pastors IN their own puipits.
Several prominent Presbyterian clergymen were
heard in this way and IL Is said that two or three
