SEQUEL OF A SENSATION
Attorney Broderson the Defendant in a
Divorce Suit

A I. Broderson, an attorney, concerning
whom sensational charges were preferred
three years ago by little Hungarian wo-
man, was the detaulting defendant in di-
vorce suit yesterday. His wife, Maud n.
Broderson, told Judge York how he de-
serted her some year and half ago or more,
and the cause was taken under adviseme,t.
When accused of rape by his client. Brod-
erson did all in his power to preven, the
publication of the facts in the case urging
the likelihood OF domestic trouble, and
protesting mildly that he had been guilty Of
no otfense. He was treated with much con
sideration, but the poor woman, to whom
he had given promissory notes maturing
monthly for money he was not able to ad-
vance Immediately in cash, brooded over her
misfortune.
She experienced great difficulty IN collect
ing the funds due her on the notes, Which
were alleged to have been given her in an
ticipaton of the fact that she might become
mother as the result of her attorneys ad-
vanees, and finally committed suicide rather
than endure the disgrace of her condition
II the complaint charging Broderson with
desertion does not prove effective in secur-
ing decree, the more serious allegations,
as briefly outlined by Mrs. Broderson's at.
torney yesterday, will probably be incorpo-
rated in new complaint.
Broderson left the city, it is said, under
cloud taking with him money entrusted 10
his care by clients. These sums not aggre-
eating great amount, they made no effort
to collect. being advised that an empty
judgment or a criminal prosecution would
be all that could be expected, under the cir
cumstances.

Curran Identified

By letter received yesterday by Chic
Glass, all doubt as to the insanity of Georg,
I. Curran, who stabbed Mr. Earle in from
of the Westminster several weeks ago, ha.
been dispelled. DR.. Edward p. Cooke OF
Barlow, O., in answer to inquiries, replied
that he had formerly been on the medica
staff of the Athens state hospital of Ohio
when Curran was admitted to that institu
tion in 1896. Curran was there for six OF
nine months, was well educated, having
studied for the priesthood, and as his mania
was dangerous, had been placed in a secure
ward, but had watched his opportunity
while exercising and escaped.
Curran was afterward heard from indi
rectly in the west, and after several month:
was officially discharged from Athens state
hospital through his fathers influence
From the description forwarded by CHIEF
Glass, Dr. Cooke had no doubts as to Cur
rams identity with the escaped lunatc
It has not been decided whether he will be
sent back to Ohio or placed in an asylum in
this state.

FRAUD NOT SHOWN
Lloyd Acquired Brentner's Stock as an
Innocent Purchaser


The suit brought by John Lloyd against
j. II. Johnston, constable of Los Angeles
township, for the recovery of a stock OF
hardware at San Pedro or $500, its value,
was on trial yesterday before Judge Allen.
Damages of $1,000 were asked in addition to
the goods. Johnston denied that the prop
erty was worth more than $S64.25, and
showed that he attached the stock last June
to secure the payment of a judgment Of $22S,
obtained by the Harper Reynolds company
of this city against b. b. Brentner who was
in possession of the goods. Brentner went
into insolvency, and his assignee, Gregory
Perkins, jr., demanded possession of the
property held under the attachment, which
was thereupon released.
Further allegation was made by Johnston
that Brentner, with intent 20 give prefer
ence to certain of his creditors, transferred
the property to plaintiff after becoming in
solvent, his idea being to prevent its rata
BILE distribution among all of his creditors
and to evade the provisions of the insol-
vency act Lloyd is alleged to have taken
possession for the purpose of preventing the
goods from coming to the assignee in in
folvency.
Perkins. as assignee of Brentner, was al
lowed to intervene, alleging that the con-
veyance to Lloyd was illegal and for the
purpose of defrauding the estate and he
asked Judgment for possession and decree
that the property belonged to the assets of
the insolvent.
To these allegations Lloyd filed answer
denying fraudulent intent and setting MP
that he was bona fide purchaser for value
without knOwledue that Rrepfpar v-,s IN
solvent.
Findings and Judgment were ordered for
plaintiff as prayed.

Increased Stamp Receipts and Gener.
Gus Volunteer Service

Receipts from the sale of stamps at the

which is $l79 more than was ever sold be-
fore in one day. This is exclusive of The
sales at the postoffice stations. The mum.
Der of registered pieces sent ON the same
day in 1896 were us; in 1897, $50; in 1898,

ing through the general office is equally
heavy, and shows corresponding gain over
previous years.
All matter incoming and outgoing is
promptly worked up and dispatched on the
same day, SO there will be no delays of Christ
mas presents caused by detention at this
end. This satisfactory state of things to
the people watching for packages is owing
to the generous volunteer service of the
clerks in the office. After doing full
days work, which at this season is excep.
tionally heavy, the entire corps of clerk
remains as late as l and a. m. to perform
the extra labor for the accommodation of

But even then the volunteers cannot

Ten thousand Mauser rifles and ten
million rounds of cartridges are among
the supplies turned over to Gen. Shat
ter at Santiago.
There are more Mauser rifles in Ha-
vana. clustering Bunco Blanco has
about 100000 of them there which will
have to be surrendered to the Ameri
cans.
This will be valuable haul, indeed,
and will be more than sufficient to sup
ply our entire regular army with these
latest improved and most effective
weapons They are as superior to. the
old style Springfield rife with which
our volunteers are armed as tine revo-
lutionary musket was to the bows and
arrows of the aborigines. A Mauser
has an effective range of 1000 yards,
or nearly twice as great as that of the
Springfield, which is but 1,2C0.
A Mauser rifle will pay for the trans
portation of Spanish soldier back to
Spain. Moreover, the American army
is badly in need of Mausers and this is
good, cheap way to get them.
