He Struck Abeel After the Latter Had In.
suited n Young woman.
When the trial of Frederick G.. Agens for
having caused the death of Caldwell II. Abeel
was resumed yesterday the Court of Quarter
Sessions at Newark was crowded. Mira. Hurd
and Miss Guenther, who were in the restaurant
with Agens when he struck Abeel, were within
the rallied Enclosure. The State having rested,
Lawyer Samuel Kalisch opened for the de-
fence. He said that he would show that Abeel.
when he intruded upon Agens and the ladies,
was grossly intoxicated and that after being re-
1ucsted by Agens to leave them he laid his hand
upon Miss Gucnther in an offensive manner,
and it was this which caused Agens to say:
why, Colly, what do you meant"
Mr.. Kalisch said further. that Abeel put up
his hand as II 70 strike and Agens struck him
in the mouth aud not upon the bridge of the
nose or upon the forehead. where 1t was said
that he should contend that Abeel
trespasS and that Agens had q right to use such
force as was necessary to send Abeel and Perry
I'VE shall show" said the lawyer that the,blow
given was not OF sLch force AS to cause death,
and the state must prove that death resulted
from the blow. The accused had q right 10 de-
fend himself when menaced.'
The remainder of the session was given up
to the testimony of physicians. Mr.. kalisch
asked OF each a long Hypothetical question as
10 whether it was indicated that the deceased
had received "A blow hard enough to cause con-
cussion Of tho brain. DR.. Hicks, who exam
the left kidney gave evidence Of chronic nephri-
tbs and Brights disease; In answer TO Prosecu-
tor Cranes question, What caused Mr.. Abeel's
deathi' DR.. Hicks answered, Acute Bright's
disease and Inflammation of the brain" DIR.
Hicks testified also that he did not believe a
blow could be struck on the mouth hard enough
splitting the lips and knocking out some Of tho
front teeth.

ASKS ALIMoyY OF M SMITH.
The Sporting Mans Alleged Wife Wants Sup
port Pending Her Divorce Suit.

Application was made to Justice Freedman in
the Supreme Court yesterday by Mrs. Agnes
Smith for counsel fee and alimony pending the
trial of her suit for a limited divorce from Al
bert F. smith, formerly hacker of John L. Sulli-
van, Corbett, and other pugilists. Justice
Freedman reserved his decision.
The suit was really started TO establish the To-
gality of tho alleged common-law marriage of
the plaintiff to Smith in 1883. This is the Sec
ond suit brought by the plaintiff against Smith.
Tho first was u breach of promise suit brought
in her maiden name OF Agnes Hinch, but her
lawyer abandoned the case after having Smith
arrested.
The plaintiff claims that in 1888 she and tho
defendant entered into a mutual agreement to
live as man and wife, that,they did so live, and
tLat smith introduced her as his wife TO his
friends.
Regarding the former suit brought against
Mr.. Smith In her maiden name for breach Of
promise of marriage, tho plaintiff claims that
she signed the affidavit In which she claimed to
be single without realizing its contents and at
the request of her lawyer, who said 1t was nee
essary.
In opposition TO the application for counsel
fee and alimony, counsel for Smith denied that
there had ever been a marriage. 1t was also
stated that smith was no longer a man of
means. He lives at the Gilsey House, but cOun-
sci stated that he paid only u a week for a
room,
