BROWN DIVORCE CASE.
Serious Charges Made Against
the Husband in chancery
Court.

Mr.. Flaxel MCGEE applied to Chancel-
lor McGill, this morning, to have over
ruled certain questions which Mr.. Isaac
Taylor asked a witness on the hearing
before a Master of the divorce case of
George c. Brown against his wife, Mary
C. Brown, en the ground of u~nfaithful-
ness. Mrs. Brown Indignantly denies the
charge and says that the young man
who is named as correspondent, and who
is much younger than the defendant, was
brought to their home by the complain
ant. She said her husband had neglected
her, refused her HIS society and deeply
hurt her feelings by bringing the suit
against her on such a charge.
Among the witnesses examined by Mr..
MCGEE before the Master, was Maggie
Meehan, a former servant in the Brown
family. Upon cross-examination Mr.. Tay-
lor asked her if she did not have a con-
versation with MI. Brown about the case.
Mr.. MCGEE objected to the question or
the ground that it was not proper to ask
such questions on cross examination
And the Chancellor was asked to decide
that point.
There was a long argument over the
mdtlSf uuIiuS WilicH Inc SIldiiCSiio1 od-a
it would be proper for Mr.. Taylor to show
what he intended to prove by his line of
questioning. Mr.. Taylor replied that he
intended to show that Mr.. Brown at the
conversation referred to, asked the girl,
If she did not know something against
his wife. The girl replied mo- and Mr..
Brown asked her if she could not remem-
Der something for a consideration. To
thos the girl replied n again adding
that she could not be used that way.
There were other questions to which
Mr.. MCGEE objected and h Chancellor
said he would mark such questions as
were admissible and send them to the
master.

SITE FOR MONUMENT
Slight Differences Of Opinion as to Its
Location In City Hall Park.

There. is some difference Of opinion
among members of the committee APP
pointed to place a monument to the sol
diers and sailors Of the G. A. r. in the
City Hall Park, as to the precise place
where the statue should be.
Some him that it. should be about u
feet from the main entrance on the path
way. and others, City Hall Superintendent
Emil Datz, for instance, is of opinion that
it should be placed nearer the Grove
street sidewalk, while the Mayor thinks it
should go on the southeast corner in the
centre Of the plot. This last place is con-
sidered by those interested in the mont
ment the most fitting, leaving the opro-
site plot for a statue to somebody or
something at some future date.
The committee in charge will get to-
gether soon and settle the site once and
for all. When this is done Mr.. Datz will
go ahead with the preparations.
