Mrs. Wilhelmina Schmitt. through her
attorneys. Messrs. Lewis w. Thomas aud
Goodwin, Westmoreand & Mailman.

of Atlanta, says the Journal. In
which she makes highly sensational
charges against ]. T. Schneider.
Mrs. Schmitt sues for half OF Schneid-
ers property and the following are made
parties defendant: The Maddox-Hucker
Banking company, with which Schneider
is alleged to have about 81 600 on deposit:

George, s. NJ. Born and Mary e. Thomp-
son, each OF whom is alleged TO have oor-
rowed several hundred dollars from
Schneider.
Judge John s. Chandler has granted
Temporary restraining order preventing
any OF the defendants from paying
Schneider any money due him pending
the hearing, and Schneider has been re-
strained from altering the status OK his
property.
Mrs. Schmitt's petition recites that In
1878 she lived in New York. apart from
her husband She kept boarding houss

painter and frescoer.
In 1883 John Schmitt. the husbsnd.-dieo-
Schneider said no marriage ceremony

Mrs. Schmitt was informed last faii

not married. and insisted that the cere-
mony be performed. Upon his refusai
she returned to Cincinnati. but came

he would marry her. Schneider Is sam
