and looked into the sweet, innocent
face of this wronged woman, and you
would have felt, as I do, the hot blood
of indignation when you heard her ac-
cussed of such grave offenses, merely
for some indiscretion forced upon her
by her brutal husband. She is the one
who has suffered and been wronged;
and if you have any sympathy to show
in this law suit, gentlemen, let 1t be
for the weak, defenseless, wronged wo-
man. and not for the man who brought
all this trouble upon himself and upon
her. She of all the people mentioned
in this unhappy suit, has been the
most unjustly accused. The most
cruelty wrenged. The absurdity OF
attempting to make an angel of Mat
theirs Gordon and to spread the man
tie of charity over his dissolute and
abandoned life, and yet condemn the
woman he has driven from his home
by his cruel, almost inhuman treat
, ment of her, just because she received
letters of sympathy and affection from
a man who desired to shield her from
!. a brutal husband. Brand the woman
|. for a slight indiscretion; spread tn
, mantle of charity over the adulterou
, and lecherous conduct Of the man. L

Police Make Raid on Gambling Devices
 and Bag Many.
 An unexpected crusade against slot machines used for gambling purposes, made by the police department yester- day, resulted in a rich harvest of vari- ous devices for beguiling money from the patrons of a number of local stores. In all the police landed somewhere about fifteen machines, some construct ed for card games, some for the various other rewards, but all held to be against the law.
 The law holds that any machine so arranged as to create a chance is a gambling machine Under this the ma- chimes were confiscated, No action will be taken against the possessors, it Is understood, but they will be given g. hearing, the date of which will prob ably be March 2O after which the ma- chimes will in all likelihood be demol- ished.
 The machines taken were from the following establishments: William F.. Euerle, 719 Chapel street; Harry Volo- sheim, -55 Washington avenue; Joseph Cotranco, 1O7 Congress avenue; Joseph Gianetti, Rose street; Michael D. Flannery; Hibaro Grillo, TT Broad street; Philip Caplan, 712 Grand ave- nue (three machines); Samuel Berman, 1031 State street; Michael Noble, 1S2 Wallace street, and Ernest Varibault. The machines were taken on search warrants.

Y., and builder of the RidgeWood reservoir among other large projects in that city Dr. Freel was a graduate of Manhat- tan college and afterWard studied med icine and graduated from the College of Surgeons of the city of New York He practiced medicine in New York for several years. He had been associ- ated with his father in business for some time prior to the death of the lat ter a few years ago.
 He recently came into prominence through an attempt made by Catherine J. Freel, his mother, who resides in New York, through proceedings in the probate court in Branford to have pr Freel committed to a sanitariunls el- leging that he was dipsomaniac
 Dr. Freel contested the proceedings, which were finally withdrawn. Recent ly the surrogate's court of Brooklyn sustained Dr. Freel in his claim to act as one of the executors of his fathers estate.
