.EHDEARING MISSIVES ARE
CITED AS A PROOF OF LOVE
Breach OF Promise Suits Hearing
Amuses Spectators When
Letters Are Read.
JURY TAKES CASE TO-DAY

Letters as expressive of affection and re-
plete with endearing terms and entreaties
to come" and with as many threats for
1.-THE other woman as were in the letters
OF Monday were read in court yesterday
morning in the breach of promise suit OF
Mrs. Sarah Cox against John Wright for
$4,000 damages. The missives told Of the
many heartaches she was experiencing and
Of the many restless hours that she was
passing and of the many dreams she had
Of the days when all was well and when
their true love ran smoothly
a part of one of the communications
yesterday was. John, will you come to-
morrow night? Come. sweetheart, 1 could
lay down my head for you to walk on. L
am coming down to see you. will you meet
me? If you marry her 1 will torture her
and choke her. / wish l may die If
don't"
A part of another letter that furnished
amusement for the spectators was the
following: Dearest: If dreams come true,
my beloved one, 1 should awaken to find
you at my side, would hear your tender
voice and feel the pulses of your heart
throbbing responsive to my own, my dear.
dear one. May joy ever be with you while
1 grope along in the darkness of my own
sorrow.
81 wish people would mind their own
business. Its nobody's business how much
l love you or whether you love me IN
return Ever your own loving Sarah.
The argument in the case began I'M
mediately after noon and lasted until D
o'clock. The argument of the attorneys
for the plaintiff was to show that mar
riage agreement had been entered into with
Mrs Cox by Wright and testimony was
reviewed where the defendant had made
overtures TO the plaintiff in the presence
of others Attorney Clark. for the plaintiff,
made an eloquent appeal to the jury in be-
half of an aged widow. who, he said, had
been duped by the willy defendant. He
pictured her as a woman who would have
to live the remainder of her life in soli-
tude and shame, while the widower, with
his horse and rubber-tired buggy could
travel all over Pike township having a
good time
The attorneys for the defense played
upon the evidence of the defendant, who
declared that he had never promised to
marry the plaintiff. but that she had
continually insisted that he should.
The jury will be instructed at O'Clock
this morning and will determine the case
whether the widow or the widOwer was the
prosecutor in the love affair.

DOGS CRUESOME FIND.
Leg Of Human Being Dragfei A.
round the City Streets.

DR. s. B. Mum. who occupies a
prominent position in the fighting
ranks Of that gallant little band of
men engaged in constant warfare
against vaccination and its supporters,
made gruesome finding yesterday
afternoon, OF rather a canine belong
ing to Wharton NJ. Grub of Leaven-
worth street, did the finding primarily.
What the dog found was the foot and
part of the leg of a human being
After dragging the foot and leg
through the dirt and mud OF the
neighborhood and chewing the toes
the dog became tired Of it's treasure
and left it on the yeranda of a house
on Leavenworth street, whence it was
kicked by a boy onto the street. DIR
Mum, who happened to be passing by,
picked up what was formerly a part
OF human being, and carried it into
the house, where he examined it
carefully, and invited some of his
friends to view it. The sturdy anti
vaccinationist is Of the opinion that
the leg and foot have laid in the
ground for some time. at least two
years Or more, that they evidently be-
longed to the body of woman, but he
could not tell exactly. The tendons
at the knee cap are visible and show
where the leg was snapped off from
the rest of the skeleton.
1t is not known where the dog found
the leg and foot, but DR. Mum thinks
that it might have picked it up among
the dirt and rubbish which have been
excavated from the site of the old
Scovill house. This Is possible, but
it looks strange that the men who did
the digging in the cellar did not dis
cover the bones before the canine did.
There was no flesh on the bones. DR.
Mum was inclined to the belief that
the leg and foot were part. of the
body of the German cook who lost his
life in the Scovill house fire two years
| ago. The cooks body was found in
| the ruins three or four months later,
but it was intact The doctor would
| like to know where the dog found the
leg. 1t might lead to the discovery
of a horrible murder the unearthing
of a hidden crime but as the dog is
not gifted with speech and no person
has been found who saw where he
dug it up, it is extremely probable
that the place where the bones were
found. will remain a mystery and so
will the hidden crime and the horrible
murder, if there was any.
