HUSBAND GETS DECREE
Vice Chancellor Stevens
Frees John A. Morris
From Bonds Of Mat
rimony.

Vice Chancellor Stevens this morning
advised a decree of divorce to John A.
Morris, a well known citizen Of Long
Branch and cousin to the Mayor of that
place.
Morris was married in 1888 to Mrs.
Mary E. Morris. Not long after their
marriage the husband thought certain
sporting man was too attentive to his
wife and he spoke to her about it. She
denied it, but letter from the man con-
firmed his suspicion that all was not
right.
4 found 1t on the mantel in our room
one morning when my wife was still in
bed. I opened il. I didn't read it all.
as my wife arose. snatched it from me
and threw it in the fire. 1t was in the
handwriting of New York man who
knew had been attentive to my wife,
said Morris to the Court.
What did you say to your wife?"
asked the Vice Chancellor.
ST told her that if she kept up cor
respondence of that kind with another
man I would leave her. She replied
that she didn't care if I did SO, as che
intended leaving me just as soon as she
could make it convenient. A few days
later she did leave me. The only time I
have heard from her since was through
a letter in which she informed me that
she was never coming back
In 1891, when Mrs Morris left her hus-
band servant found in her bed letter
in Mrs. Morriss handwriting. 1t was as
follows
Tnpo pra0ab Doa IT 1901
My dear loving Heart-It seams
lonly after leaving you so / start
these few lines to you my love one
hoping that everything is all right
good luck my darling one thing is all
right here he went to - at noon SO

and then he wanted to no If you was
going to stop to the -. said that
I hope that he gets the things that
toal him. I think that he Is not the
least suspicious of anything remind
me of some things to show you when
YOU come up to the - again.
Morris wrote letter to one James e.
Mccarthy promising him S25 if he would
tell his wifes whereabouts. Mccarthy $
reply put in evidence, denied any guilty
conduct with Mrs Morris. He added that
not for s25,90o would he give her address
Although Mrs. Morris did not appear
during the hearing of the suit her answer
was read. In 1t she charged her husband
with being idle and negiecting to support
her. She declares he slapped her face,
threw dishes and chairs al her.
ssHe is an inveterate tobacco chewer," /"
she continued. "and would often spit to-
bacco Juice on his hands and rub 1t on
! my face
Because of his cruelty and inability to
support her, Mrs. Morris said, she was
obliged to leave him and go to New York
| and earn a living by sewing.

NEAR TO DEATH
General SeWell Coming
Home, His Erie nds
Say to Die.
HAS NOT IMPROVED
His Many Jersey City Friends
Are Shocked BY the
Bad News.

AsHvILLE, N. c.. Dec s. 1901. AR
rangenents have been made to send Cen
eral William j. Sewell to his nome, IN
csamden. n. J., on special train.
The General is dangerously ~ and The
physicians here shake their heads as they
say there is very little hope Of his recoy-
cry.
The special train will leave here as
early Friday morning as can pe arranged
conveniently, but All viii depend upon the
patients condition at that time.
There is little doubt that the General is
going home to die.
Mr.. Sewell is at the Battery Park Hotel.
He was able to take a drive one day last
week, when E. G. Stokes came here to
visit him, but he has been confined to his
room for the last few days.

JERSEY CITY FRIENDS ALARMED

Friends of General Sewell in this city
were shocked today by the report teie-
graphed from Asheville. N. c., 10 the ef-
feet that the Senator's condition was sucn
last night that it had been determined ID
send him to his home in Camden.
The staten snt was made that arrange
nents were being made for special train
10 bring the United States Senator t.
Camden. and that his removal had been
decided on because of the reports Of the
physicians who had practically given W
hopes of benefiting him.
The Camden statesman's friends in this
eitv had been hoping against hope for the
last two weeks and not even the encour-
aging statements sent out by his faithful
secretary, Henry J. Rumrille, coud aiias
the fears of the Jersey City people who
know of the condition of the Generais
health.
The generals political lieuttenants and
personal friends in this city had for some
time known that all arrangements hao
been made for a special train to bring
the General home, but they understood
that he would not leave Asheville Until
all hope Of saving his life had been aban-
doned
The announcement telegraphed from the
Southern health resort was therefore,
fraught with alarm to the Jersey
city people who have kept posted
as to the conditions in Asheville.
The glowing reports sent out py
the people in Camden as to the
progress made by the patient at Asheville
Have been taken with a large amount OF
salt by the Republicans In this city. and
they are not inclined to believe that the
real conditions have been made known IN
the dispatches.
General Sewell has been much sicker
man than has been generally krown, and
the reports that have come from Asne-
vile, IN an unofficial way. have been at
complete variance with the statements is
sued BY his secretary said man who
has kept posted AZ to the Generals con-
ditton. 'sThe statement that the special
trair has been placsd In readiness -
bring him home probably means that tha
end Is approaching, and that his friends
want to have him at home when the last
hour comes. His condition has been such
that ii is readily believed that move

F|N]|NC FAULT WITH JURORS.

[From the New York Sun Of this Mornng.]
Is it proper for Judge to scod Grand Jury from the
refusing indc person whom the Judge thinks
ought to be indicted?
This question suggested by Tuesday in
the Quarter Sessions of Hudson County New Jersey
In dschaging the Grand jury Judge John A. Blair said
The whole Court has examined the testimony
taken before you the Sullivan and it is the
unanimous and unqualified opinion Of the Court that
the evidence such and sufficient for you
have founded indictment. To take notice
Of such negligent wilfu disregard Of duty your
part and to permit you depart with the thanks OF
the public from the Court would be equivalent to an
acknowledgment of agreement between the Grand
Jury and the Court not to prosecute and punish mani
fest violations of law
seems the jurors thus addressed constituted the
third Grand Jury which had refused find indictment
against person mentioned by Judge Blair The foreman
asked the Judge for leave word response to the
rebuke from the bench this peemptory refused
Now to be noted that the Constitution and the laws Of
those States which the Grand Jury system preserved 90
leave it the Judges say who shall be indicted That
function conferred upon the Grand Jury and they de-
temne that ought to be indicted and that they Will
Indictment against him. all the Judges in the State
together cannot change the result
OF course if Grand Jury induced by corruption or
friendship cowardce ignore accusation where they ought
find Indictment they properly censurable by some
body but should they be repmanded publicly by the Judge OF
the which they serving simply because the evidence
which he has read certain convinces him that they
should have indicted person against whom indictment has
ound And should such ebuke have been followed BY
refusal permit any explanation from the foreman? Might
be well that testimony which reads like the truth seemed un
worthy credit when heard from the mouths Of the witnesses
before the Grand Jury?
1t should be borne mind that uries, whether Grand
Jures trial ries intended be independent in their
sphere of action Judges theirs and IN cases OF
manifest misconduct plain to be beyond question Judge
has really right cold jury pugn their motives
hold them public contempt from his place on the
bench than they have to crcse the Judge from their places
in the jury box
This tendency "score juries,' the phrase is needs
somewhat to be repressed.

to succeed and during the early part
of the session voted for everything.
If another senator had bill. all he
had to do was to go and whisper in

One day. however, Ezekiel came into
the senate with hair cut and clean
shave. He sat upright in his seat and
began to slaughter right and left.
