She Tells Something More OF HIS Honey.
moon Eceentrtclues-Hls Counsel VIII
Endea,or to Show That She Married
the Architect With Her Eyes open.
From the cross-eXamnation yesterday
Of Mrs Jessie NJ, Brinsmade, formerly
Jessie Jones' art student, who is seeking
to have her marriage to Charles Lyman
Brinsmade, architect, annulled on the
ground of his insanity, it became evident
that it is the intention of the defense to
show that Brinsmade did not develop alb
normal eccentricities until year or more
after the wedding, and was not, as she
says. insane when they were married in
February. 1898. Counsel for Brinsmade
said yesterday that they were confident
of satisfying both Justice Greenbaum and
the jury that their client was in full possess
sion Of his senses at the time of the we'd
ding, and that the bride had long been
aware Of such minor eccentricities as he
may have displayed.
William f. Delano, a Yale classmate Of
Brinsmade, testified that he and the de-
PENDANT studied architecture in Paris to-
gether Delano had often noticed Brins-
made's apparent inability to carry on an
argument and his excitabilty and ner-
vousness. One of his tavorite beliefs was
that to achieve success in art n student
must go through poverty a nd privation.
When Delano visited the Brnsmades in
their apartment in Paris he came to the CON
clusion that it was unsafe for Mrs. Brins-
made to be alone with her husband while the
latter was i'll. so he used to sit up nights with
the sick man while the nurse slept At one
time, he said, Brnsmade's only topic of con-
versatlon was the immortality of the French
people At college, the witness said, Brins-
made was intense and pigheadcd."
Mrs. Brinsmade's examination was
largely taken up with the reading of letters
indicated that she was very much attached
to him, and was anxious that he should
succeed in his chosen career. In none Of them
did she make any reference to his mental
condition.
Questioned concerning his actions, she
said that on the very day of the wedding
she noticed that he was frothing at the
mouth, but paid no particular attention TO
it at the time except to point it out to him.
When they were about TO start for Europe
on their honeymoon he started out to buy
the tickets, but returned without them.
That frightened her, she said, but some one
else bought the tickets later,
One thing she noticed before marriage
was that he was very taciturn, and rarely
spoke save when she addressed him. This
popularity increased after marriage When
they got to Paris he took her to very third
rate hotel, and when she insisted that they
should go en- pension she had to engage the
rooms herself.
At the Ecole DIES Beaux Arts he passed
the examination for architects, obtaining
| thirteenth place in a class of 2s3 The
plans he drew for that examination were
put in evidence. They are for an o rna mental
structure that does not seem to be architeo-
turallv eccentric
On their return here, as the boat came up
the bay, Mrs. Brinsmade testified. her hus-
band waved his hand toward the shore and
exclaimed: This is the land have come
TO conquer"
The trial will continue to-day.
