went to her house on April - last year and
told her that he would have Sheedy made a
policeman for $500 through tho influence OF q
man named Hart. who. he said. was cousin Of
President York. DuGEan afterward raised the
amount TO $500. and she drew that amount
from the Beecker Street Bank on May IL and

for almony and counsel fee. Counsel for the
plaintiff. George Waer, said that his client was
too poor to pay either almony or counsel fee.
In all nv experience" said the Nice-Chan-
cellOr. there has been only one case whore
refused wife counsel fee when she was the
defendant in a divorce suit. and in that case a
dozen aNdavits Of such force as to leave but
little doubt OF the woman's guilt were pre-
scented When woman sues her husband she
must make out prima facia case before de-
manding counsel fee When u husband sues
his wife il is different matter. He drags her
into court against her will. and unless he fur
nishes her with money she is unable to defend
herself. No man should indulge in the luxury
of divorce unless he is able to provide his wife
with the means TO fight him. The plaintiff
will pay counsel fee of $50. will not grant
any alimony."
