THESE ARE
TANGLED
LIVES.
The Murphy and Brown Faml-
lies Sadly Mixed Up in
Court Action.

New York April 27.-Never were two
pairs of welded lives more sadly mixed
than those OF Mr.. and Mrs. Murphy and
Mr.. and Mrs. Brown, linked together yes
terday in three cases pending I'm the SUI
preme court. Lawyer David *. Case
wants divorce for Mrs. Thomas j Muir
ply from her husband and another for
James y. Brown from his wife.
In defending the husband and the wife
Lawyer Charles Cohn presents affidavits
about the other wife and the other hus-
band Murphy wants his wife punished
for contempt, and Mrs Murphy wants
the divorce judgment re-opened
Murphy met Miss Katherine Schmidt
nearly twenty years ago. She was
Harlem belle. He was the champion half
mile runner OF the Manhattan Athletic
club. They were married In 1888. After
fifteen years a baby boy was born. Soon
afterward Mrs. Murphy brought suit.
through Lawyer Case, for absolute di-
vorce. naming an unknown woman as CO.
respondent.
In January last the husband asked 20
be allowed to see his boy Justice TruaN
decides to let the motion so till after the
divorce trial. The case came before JUS
tice MacLean. The wife failed 10 appear
and on April the custody of the child
was awarded to the husband.
He got an order from the court direct
ing Mrs Murphy TO turn over the young
ster, and on April the husband and his
lawyer went to No. 103 West One Hun
dred and Fifth street where. Mrs. Muir
ply was living with her mother.
Old Mrs. Schmidt barred the way and
wouldn't let them in.
once more Mr. Murphy went back TO
court this time before Justice O'Gorman,
demanding that the wife be punished for
contempt in not obeying the order Mrs.
Murphy responded with a motion 10 re-
open the Judgment against her, on the
ground that her evidence was To have
been furnished ny Mr. Brown, who had
at the last moment refused 10 go upon
the stand.
once more Murphy retorted with an af-
fidavit, knowing that Mr.. Brown was SUI
ing his wife for divorce because Lawyer
Cohn had Mrs. Brown for client.
Brooklynite named Brice was the core
spondent this time.
"The reason" recites the affidavit on
file, that Brown won't testify is because
he is making overtures to get his wife
back, and she demands first that he keep
certain promises TO keep away from Mrs.
Murphy"
All the parties are wealthy. Mr.. Brown
is head OF the Weston Electric company.
and Mrs. Murphy was a stenographer In
his office before she married Mr.. Muir
ply. who is president OF the American
Switchboard company. Brown has been
on friendly terms with his former en-
ployee ever since.
