somewhat prominent in the business
and social world of the city.
Right at the opening Of the case
Frank Pierce, Mrs. Van Alstines attOr-
ney, at her earnest solicitation. had all
witnesses and the public excluded from
the court room. This action was taken
on the statement by Mr.. Pierce that
the evidence in the case would be unfit
for publication.
Mrs. Van Alstine charged her hus-
band with habitual drunkenness and
cruelty, alleging that when in his cups
he used violent and profane language
to her and threatened her on many diff
ferent occasions. going so far once or
twice as to strike her. In his answer
Mr.. Van Alstine contented himself with
denying his wife's charges.
The case lasted all the afternoon and
until late in the evening, Mrs. Van Al
slime summOning a large number Of
witnesses in her behalf including q
number of physicians. Mr.. Van AlstiEe,

timony and admitted on the stand that
Mrs. Van Alstine had been a good wife
to him. His testimony was entirely a
REPUTATION of the charges made by his
wife. s. H. Lewis was his attorney.
At the conclusion of the arguments in
the evening Judge Hiles took the case
under advisement.
