BLIND HUSBAND OBTAINS D
VORCE.

a dispatch from Trenton, n. j., says;
Thomas P. Watson, well known
East Orange business man, has obtained
a divorce from his wife, Charlotte NJ,
on statutory grounds. The evidence
which was placed on file Monday in the
Court of Chancery Office tells the story
of the wreck of two New Jersey homes
Thomas P. Watson and Charlotte M
Berg we're married on Mays2 1883, IN
Caldwell, Essex county. MIR. Watson
became partially blind seven years sgo
and made his wife his private secretary
and accountant. Her clerical expert
encs showed her that her husband was
wealthy and she began then, he says IL
bis testimony, to spend his money free
". Because he could not see her, he
alleges, she launched out on gay Ca
reer. Her husband heard of her nu-
merous firtations and reprimanded her.
She demanded separation and be
made her an allowance of $40 a week
for the support of their two children.
Mrs. Watson then settled in Walllng
ton, near Paterson, where she became
acquainted with Mrs. Chas. R. Stewart,
who introduced her to her husband and
became her sponsor in the Methodist
Church. Mr.. Stewart soon paid Mrs.
Watson marked attention. Mrs. Stew
art followed her husband one night and
saw him meet Mrs. Watson. When the
injured wife was asked why she follow
ed Stewart she said. Because he was
continually talking about her in his
sleep the night before and telling her
that he would be there"
These meetings became the talk OF
the town, and sympathy for Mrs. Stew.
srt grew very strong. This inspired
Mrs. Libbie Church, of No. 291 Greg
DRY street, Wellington, to write to MIR.
Watson as follows -
s.There is a lady living in Wellington
claiming to be your wife. She has two
children living with her which she
claims are yours. She has gained the
reputation of flirting for two or three
months with Mr.. Charles Stewart. l
thought it was your business, if she is
your wife, to break it up. Ifit goes on
it will break up Mr.. Stewards home.
which would be pity, as he has q
lovely wife and two beautiful children.
II you have any hold upon the woman
1 hope you will use it in the best man.
ner. Don't tell who it is that signs
this letter"
This letter started Mr.. Watson on
the war path, and he had business
with q lawyer and detective. Mrs.
Stewart and her husband separated,
and few days later Mrs. Watson
moved to No. 333 Second street,
Brooklyn. Mr.. Watson's dett ctive
caught Stewart and Mrs. Watson there.
Barnard Roster, mayor Of Walling
ton, was one of the principal witnesses
against Stewart and Mrs. Watson. He
told of meetings between the two, OF
trolley rides and of drinking in public
places.
The master advised the decree, and
there is no doubt that the Chancellor
will concur in the advisory report.

This settled it. Every man in the
crowd suddenly remembered that he
had business in town, and downward the
whole layout proceeded without furth-
err parleying or loss Of time. The next
day an old gentleman residing in Dan
vile was told of the occurrence, and he
recalled the fact that he had been one
Of party which had similar expert
ence near this old tree three years ago.
and he said that the spot had been
haunted for many years. A long time
ago an old gentleman by the name Of
Louis Streat was murdered for his
money, and the murderer had dragged
the body to the foot of this tree and
covered it with dead feavcs. The muir
derer was never punished by law. A
young man named Henderson was ar
rested, charged with the crime, and at
his examining trial was liberated on
$4,000 bail. He jumped his bond and
disappeared some time afterward
