HARD WORK TRYING TEWKSBURY.
Complaining wife's Evidence Was in Some
Danger OF Being Excluded.

Danger OF Being Excluded.
The trial OF Lewis G. Tewksbury, who
owned fast trotting horses and a gorgeous
house and operated as a 1nanoier up to a
few years ago, began yesterday, but praoti-
cally all the day was spent arguing whether
| communications between man and wife
are confidential and whether either can di-
yulRe them at the trial Of the other. Tewks-
bury's former wife, now known az Mary N.
Gruenhut, accuses him Of stealing $40 900
worth Of bonds from her.
At first Recorder Gofs before whom
T~ewksbury is being tried, ruled that Mrs.
T~ewksbury could not be allowed to tell
ANYTHING that Tewksbury had old her
when she was his wife. Then after listening
to a long argument by Assistant District
Attorney Garvan the Recorder changed
his mind and decided that he would allow
her TO testify and would decide whether or
not the communications were OF q conf
dental nature.
In his opening Mr.. Garvan said he would
prove that the marriage Of the plaintiff
and Tewksburv was simply a business
marriage, and that they never lived TO-
re Their as man and wife. On june 10, 1900,
he said. Tewksbury t~elephoned to his wife
saying that he was in great distress. and
IL he didn't nave $40, 900 at once would be
ruined financially, He told his wife to
20 to the safe and get SIC, 900 in bonds which
belonged to her. He added that he only
wanted to show them to q man and that
he would return them to her that night.
She ga VS. that he never brought them back,
that he sold them for $i1 ,45o, and that he
new err gave her a cent OF the money.
Mrs. T~ewksbury was the first witness,
Her hair is dark brown and she wore a
blue dress, with a hat to match. She says
that Tewks bury stole $780, 900 from her;
Tewksbury, who looked O little pale q
tired Of prison, was represented by John
F. Mcintyre -
the message over the telephone threatened
TO kill the case messengers brought stacks
of law books into court, and from Lime 10
time court attendants went to the library
to get more for the Recorder. Mr., Caravan
cited decisions by the Court OF Appeals to
show that a wife could testify against her
husband about business relations between
them. After a long reply by Mr., Molntyre
Recorder Goff said that he felt he was IN
error in his original decision, and that he
could not tell whether or not the conn.,
munication was a confidential one until
he heard it. He said he would ALLOW Mrs.
Gruenhut to tell about it. Then Mr.. Mo
Intyre asked that while Mrs. Gruenhut
was testifying experimentally the Jury
he excluded from the court room until the
Recorder had decided whether the COM
munication was confidential or not. b
Recorder said he would decide that TINS

down their backs.
The little girls wore deliberately embroid-
cred trousers Of pink and green and ame-

the boys. for these sported little skirts
that swished around their ankles. The
coats OF the small performers we're the

HUNT FOR GIRLS ASSAILANT.
Newark Police Seek Man Supposed to he
an Erie Railroad Brakeman.

Unsuccessful efforts were made yester-
day by Newark police officers to find a
man supposed to be an Erie Railroad brake
man, who assaulted Mary Boyle, a sixteen
yeAr-old girl, late on Sunday night. The
girl is a domestic employed by a family in
Llewellyn Park. West Orange. and had
been on a visit to New York. With her
two companions. Mary Bunyan and Mar
Raret Kelly, also domestics, she started for
home on the e:35 train from Jersey City.
On the arrival of the train at the Forest
Hill station on the outskirts Of Newark
the young women were told'that there was
a wreck on the road ahead and that they
might be detained for an indefinite time.
While the girls were wondering how they
would get to Orange a maj wearing q
brakeman's uniform entered the car, and
hearing Mary Boyle say that she felt like
walking the tracks to- Orange he offered
to escort her. The three young women
willingly accepted his offer. his uniform
giving them confidence in him.
They had not proceeded far along the
tracks when the man began to make i'm
proper advances to Miss Boyle. She be-
came alarmed and appealed to her COM
panions. The three OF them began to cry
Tor help, but the spot was a lonely one and
there was no one to hear their cries.
The man in the uniform beat OF the
other two young women when they tried
to take Mary Boyle away from him. He
struck and Kicked at chem and they fed
in terror toward Newark, until they came
across Policeman Hart at Verona and
Degraw avenues and told him their stories.
Hart hurried to the spot indicated by the
terrified young women and there found s,ats
There was no trace Of the man who had
assaulted her and the office took the girl
to the Second precinct station.
Several policemen were sent out after
the man, but they failed to find any trace
Of him. Inquiries among the railroad men
failed to lead to any satisfactory develop
ments.
The Boyle girl was kept in the witne IS
room ell night. She remains in a state OF
collapse as the result Of her experience.
Some Of the railroad men declare that the
man wearing the uniform was not q brake
man and was not employed upon the road
The officers are looking for a certain brake
man, however, and expect to find him soon.

Coffee
Hurts
One in
Three

1t is difficult to make people believe
that coffee Ia an absolute poison to at least
one person out Of every three, but people
are slowly finding it out, although thou
sands Of them suffer terribly before they
discover the fact,
A New York hotel man says: Each
time after drinking coffee I became rest
less, nervous and excited, 30 that ! was
unable to sit five minutes in one place,
was also inclined to vomit and suffered
from loss OF sleep, which got worse and
worse.
"A lady said that perhaps coffee was
the cause of my trouble, and suggested
that / try Postum Food Coffee. I laughed
at the thought that coffee hurt me, but
she insisted 90 hard that I finally had some
Postum made. I have been using 1t in
pace Of coffee ever since, for I noticed
that all my former and irri-
tation disappeared. I began to sleep
perfectly and the Postum tasted a. good
or better than the old coffee, 80 what was
the use Of sticking to q bever age that was
running me-
."one day on an excursion up the coun-
Try I remarked 70 a young lady friend on
her greatly improved appearance. She
explained that some time before che had
quit using coffee and taken Postum She
had gained a number OF pounds and her
former palpitation Of the heart, humming
In the ears, trembling Of the hands and
legs and other disagreeabie feelings had
disappeared. She recommended me to
quit coffee and take Postum and was very
much surprised to find that had already
made the change.
"She said her brother had also received
great benefits from leaving of coffee and
taking on Postum Food Coffee
.tThere's q reason"

BUILDING LINE BILL KILLED.
Knickerbocker Trust Company Will Have TO
Fight for Its Front

FlEnt TOT us frOnt,
Mayor Mcclellan vetoed yesterday the
bill permitting the Aldermen to legalize,
under certain conditions, e~noroachlhents
beyond the building line, The bill was
introduced in the interest Of the Knicker-
booker Trust Company. Fifth avenue and
Thirty-fourth street and the New Amster-
dam Theatre In Forty-second street, whose
new buildings, which have been completed,
violate the building, line law. The .o,ty
has brought suit against the owners OF the
two properties to compel the removal OF
the violations. Corporation Counso De-
lany Raid yesterday that the cases are on
the calendar Of the Supreme Court and
will probably be reached within a week
or ten days. The owners are fighting
the suits on the ground that their plans
were approved by the Building Department.
The Mayor says he doubts i the Legis-
lature had power to pass a bill permitting
property owners to usurp a part OF Inc
putting aside this constitutional question
he holds that the bill Is thoroughly bad
In principle. He says
An attempt to lega,lze a seizure OF public
property for private use can hardly be charac-
terlzed as a bill to quiet title. No one denies
that the title to tine public streets is In the
CITY. A mere technical violation OF the law
can sometimes DE cured by legislation where
no real injury has been suffered by the pub
lie, but In this case substantial property rights
are involved.

which is situated on one OF the most valuable
corners Of the city, encroaches upon the street
TO the extent of $50 square feet while another

WAYS OF SEVEN TOED JUDY.
Successor Of Six Toed Dick at the Oak
Street station House.

SttCtt "
The Oak street police station has a new
mascot. Seven toed Judy Daily has taken
the place OF Six toed Dick, who met an
untimely death at the teeth Of a wicked
bulldog. Dick was a fine Thomas cat;
Judy is a Tabby and although she has been
there but a short time, she is as great a
i~avorite as any cat that ever entered a sta
ton house.
Dick was a great favorite with Sergt.
Thomas DAILY when he was in the Mercer
erect station house, having been befriended
by the sergeant one night when he wan
dered into the station al q vagrant. He
was installed as a pet because he had six
perfect toes on every foot. When Sergt.
DAILY was transferred to Oak street, Dick
leaped upon the trunk which was moving
bis friends belongings and refused to
bulge. He was also transferred TO OAK
street.
One day Dick was enjoying a siesta on
the station house steps when the dog ap:
peared. He was on a chain, the other end
Of which was attached to a boy; There
the dogs head and Dick was the subject
for a funeral. Several policemen made a
dash for the boy and the dog, but the latter
saw that their only safety lay in fight and
beat it, Dick was duly inferred:
Then DAILY began a search for a new
pet, which ended in the discovery Of little
Judy, three months old. He seven toes
% handicap her little feet that she Is COM
PEELED to run like a pacing horse. But she
has more than taken the place Of Dick,
her only trouble being a particular desire
to make playthings Of the pens OF the SER
geants on duty. She sneaks quietly along
under the ledge OF the desk until she is at
the head Of the sergeant busily at work
at his blotter. Then there is a sudden dash,
the pen flies in the air and the blotter ap-
pears as though Judy had done all the
writing.
This failing has not yet detracted from
her popularity and she bids fair to be the
best liked station house cat in the city.

"MIST4kES WILL HAPPEN"
Grant Stewards Farce Comedy Produced
at the Garrick.

Mistakes Will Happen a farce comedy
in three acts by Grant Stewart, opened
last night at the Garriok with more flowers
than a seminary commencement. 1t is
two-thirds comedy and one-third farce.
The comedy is $3.50, and the farce OF the
Zoroaster and Zendavesta kind, but funny.
The second act, which happens In q stable,
had the most farce and was therefore the
best, The characters hid in oat bin and
wrapped their pink frooks in horse blankets
and had hay spilled on their picture hats.
For a climax the comedy coachman looked
down the nozzle of a hose, while the leading
man turned on the water. The curtain
was wet, flowery and a~pplausive.
Edna Aug, as Linda Kurs, the German
servant girl, had the fat comedy part and
vas easily the hit of the piece. Charles
