BREACH OF PROMISE CASE.
Had a Hearing To-Day and Was Con

Had a Hearing To-Day and Was Con-
 tinued for Thirty Days.
 The first chapter in the breach of promise suit of Mary Lucietta against .Pasquale Contaln for $5,OOO damages was told in the city court to-day incl dental to hearing the charge for breach of the peace against the fair plaintiff. It was certainly an interesting hearing and if the case when it goes to the su- perior court is one-half as attractive, or the attorneys as be1ligerent, the court room will have to be enlarged.
 The evidence to-day was to the ef feet that Mary, or as her countrymen call her, Marie, lived in two rooms with family named Sanzvaro on Bishop street. She had been there about two weeks when she was nOH- fled to quit She did not engage the rooms herself. One of two witnesses for the state testified that it was Con- taldi who engaged them for her.
 She refused to leave when told and then Constable Rigney was brought into the matter. When he presented himself the woman asked him for his authority and he replied that it was not necessary to show his authority, or to leave any papers.
 Mary is 32 and has been twelve years in the country Her husband has been dead about a year. She re- fused to leave. upon Rigney's demand and the latter put her out. She had some clothes drying on the~clothes line at the time and asked permission to collect them ,but Rigney did that for her. ContaIu kept the key of the rooms. Rfgney offered her $f0 when he ordered her to quit and told her that Contald sent the money, but Mary rejected it with scorn, saying she would have no money from ContalM. The evening of the day she was eject ed from the place she returned to get some things she had forgotten and it was then the breach of the peace took place. She would not be allowed in the place and the Sanzvaros told her so. She then got a. large stone and threw it at the door. She called Mrs Sanz- varo names and intimated a great many things which Mrs SanZvaFo said were not so. She was arrested three days later.
 Attorney Guilfoi1e, counsel for Mary, said the suit for breach of prom ise had meanwhile been instituted and that immediately after every effort was made to get the woman out of town, and failing, she was prosecuted and now Contaldi and his friends are trying to get her to jail. knowing that she has neither friends nor money. The state has no interests in the case, he said,. '"TheTe is the man who is interested" he said, pointing to Con- taldi who occupied seat in the front row of spectators. Prosecuting At torney Durant stigmatized the woman as an adventures. Attorney Gail foile objected to that term being applE ed to his client Nevertheless MT Du- rant continued. He said the warrant | in this case was issued September 4 and the suit for breach of promise was not instituted until the following day.
 Mir Guflfofle refuted this, saying that he had the case three days before it was brought.
 l MT Durant, resuming, said Mary was clever and shrewd. He said she. got hold of Contaldi. He would have it understood that she as not treated Un- fairly. She as not arrested but mere 1 ly notified to be in court. MT Guil l foile corrected MT Durant in this and reminded him that the woman was al liberty on bail. To this MT Durant said that if she had been arrested il was a mistake. But, nevertheless, she had a good friend and counselor in MI Gui1foiIe and it was his part to play to the grand stand for there is where the money is!
 Both attorneys then laid down their arms and Judge Peasley said that there had been breach of the peace committed without question, but he would continue the matter for thirty | SovS
