A day or so ago the following sensa-
tional article appeared in the Atlantic
City Review:
Bushes and smiles sufYused the face
of Mrs. Minnie Duffy, of Clarksburg,
West Virginia, last night when she APP
peared as the complainant against
George Barton, in the Recorders
Court. Barton, who is a Camden bar
tender, with hitherto good reputa-
tion, was accused of robbing Mrs. Duff
fy OF $500 worth of iewelry in this city
last summer, and stoutly protested his
innocence both In court and to the
reporters afterwards.
The testimony in the case provoked
the spectators, who crowded the court
room to laughter. Mrs. Duffy, who is
very attractive personality, could
not prevent the smiles and several
times partly covered her face with a
handsome fur boa which she wore
about her throat.
AS an offset to the smile provoking
part OF the hearing the two LAWYERS,
Councilman John S. Westcott for the
complainant, and Samuel f. Perry for
the defense, bitterly arraigned each

worth OF jewelry, and that after she
had given it to HIM, had not seen him
again until his arrest in Camden last
week.
Mr.. Perry cross examined.
"What did Barton leave you on the
beach for" he asked, alluding to
part Of her direct testimony.
ITO get some whiskey," said Mrs.
Duffy with smile.
What was the whiskey for?" asked
Mr.. Perry.

Duffy. smiling. The spectators did

not ride with her but would remain in
another car until after the first town
was passed. When he did not return she
became suspicious of him and asked the
porter to find him. To her bewiidsr-
ment the porter stated that a man an
swering his description had jumped
from the train before it left Wichita

city and reported the matter to the po-
lice. Harmon was located later but as
she refused to prosecute him, saying
