COUNSEL AND PARTNER

BrattIeboro, aug. 26. Sensational de-
veIopments came thick and fast Satur-
day in the taking IF dispositions in the
suit of Fred G. Cali. of the Cheshire
Express company Of Hinsdale, N. H.,
against Gen. John Fl. Albin Of Concord,
N. H., in which $4,000 damages are
asked for alleged Misrepresentation Of
the character OF saloon which Gale &
Co. formerly conducted on the island op-
posite this village.
At the opening Il. j. Fenton was on
the stand The first sensation came
when r. w. Smith Of Wells River, count
sci for General Albin, produced four re-
ceipts for liquor indicating delivery to
vi les7 and signed F. c. Gale & Co. The
last receipt was dated during the present
year.
The witness testified that he ordered
some liquor by telephone from his store
to Gale q Co.'s place of business in New
Hampshire, that the liquor was delivered
and that he paid for It in Vermont
When the deposition was concluded,
States Attorney Robert G. Bacon, who
was present, issued a summons to the
presiding Justice, A. F. Schwenk, into
whose custody the receipts were given,
to appear with them before the grand
jury at the September term Of the
Windham county court.
Attorney-General G. G.. Fits, who was
also present, said that a warrant for
Gales arrest on the charge of selling
liquor Illegally In Vermont had been or
would be asked for Immediately. How
the receipts came into the possession Of
counsel for General Albin is puzzling to
those on the other side Of the case.
Under cross-examinatiou Mr.. Fenton
said they were in his desk at the store
the last he knew OF them, but he thought
they must have been stolen.
Mr.. Fenton is the defendant in $751;
900 breach Of promise suit brought by
Miss Katherine Dunleavy, and States
Attorney Bacon is his lawyer. Mr.. Ba-
con said he would find out, If possible,
how General Albin's counsel got posses.
sion OF the receipts and also what had
! become Of the letters and photographs
which Mr.. Fenton said he also missed.
Mr.. Bacon served summouses upon
General Albin and his law partner, vii
! liam II. Sawyer OF Concord, and upon
lawyer Smith to appear befote the grand
| jury at the coming term of the Windhan
county court. Mr.. Bacon said last night
that other summonses had been issued
and that there would be something do
/ ing before long.
ID. f. Dudley of Concord, counsel for
Gale, wanted to know if it was the
custom in Vermont for one party in q
case to steal the papers Of the Other
party.

A. ]. Cassatt, the late president OF

the following railroad story:
A western broker moved from the

to and from town by carriage or auto

Deciding. after a time, to keep chick

An Unrevealed Mystery
[orlginaLl

[Original.l
Few United States army people re-
snember the mystery which occurred
At Fort G. many years ago, mystery
which has never to this day and doubt
less never will be revealed. Those I'M
der whose notice 1t took place are now
either on the retired list or dead. Yet
here and there doing over a newspa-
per at some army or navy club white
headed old man may be found who can
give the circumstances.
One day away back In the last cen
fury guests were assembling at the
quarters Of Colonel Athern, command
ing Fort CT, to celebrate the wedding
OF the coloners niece, Miss Roxana
Bontield. with Lieutenant Reginald AL
len. Allen had secured a leave or had
been sent away on some dnty-it was
clnimed that he was purposely absent
land was to have returned for a bach
el0r farewell dinner he was to give on
the evening before the wedding. There
were no mails or telegraphs handy at
that time by which he could send any
word, and when he did not appear for
the dinner 1t was supposed he had
been unavoidably detained. But when
the garrison clock struck II the next
day, the hour appointed for the cere-
mony, and be did not appear there was
q hum Of surprise.
Allen never did appear again at Fort
G. The lady he was to have married
bore the slight put upon her so well,
never uttering q word of blame, that
she received the sympathy Of every
one Not a person at the fort who
afterward met Lieutenant Allen-he
offered no explanation Of hts conduct
but gave him dead cut. He remained
In the army, only year after the day
he was to have been married when,
finding himself tabooed wherever he
appeared among army people, he re-
signed and disappeared.
Five years after her disappointment
Miss Bonfeld engaged herself to Cap
tain Gregg, The engagement occurred
just before Gregg was ordered to an
other post. Certain young ways with
more love Of saying mean things than
delicacy debated among themselves IL
Gregg would behave as Allen had be-
haved. But Gregg, after being en-
gagged for six months, during all Of
which time he was absent from his
fiancee, returned In ample time for the
wedding.
There is no record that any disagree
ment ever occurred between Captain
and Mrs. Gregg. During the first few
months Of their marriage Gregg APP
peared as devoted and happy hus-
band. Then one day when be went on
duty he gave evidence Of having re-
eeiYed shock. To inquiries as to his
health he replied that be was never
better Nevertheless he had hunted
look and lost flesh till his uniform
hung about him in deep creases. While
the. loving devotion he had shown his

wife did not continue, he was perfect
" respectful and attentive to her.
What surprised every one was that she
did not treat him or appear to worry
about him as a sick man. She seemed
rather Indifferent than otherwise. Then
people whispered to one another that
she had never recovered from having
lost her first love.
Gregg finally got a years leave and
went abroad without his wife. Ait the
end Of the year he returned In fair
condition, but with something of the
hunted look left.
In six months he was sent to a re-
treat, where he died few years later.
Mrs. Gregg was now woman Of
-twenty-eight. She had no children
and did not look her age, The unfor.
tunate endings Of her love affairs had
not seemed to cast any cloud over her
She was not at all depressed She APP
peared simply as any other young wo
man whose husband had died and left
her a widow Her widowhood was
short. In eighteen months after Gregg's
death she became the wife Of Major
Thurston.
Thurston's sister, an army woman,
begged him not to marry Mrs. Gregg.
But when the brother asked for rea-
sons he got nothing except what has
been told thus far In this story-that Is,
that the woman had been treated
shamefully by her FIRST flance and that
her husband had died Of some brain
or nervous trouble. The major de-
clined to act the part Of the first and
saw no reason why he should fear the
fate Of the second. The sister still
protested; but, without reason, he de-
clined to change his course. He mar
ried Mrs. Gregg and ten weeks later
committed suicide
Thurston Is not the first man who
has made mistake by not needing a
woman's warning because no good or
sufficient reason accompanied it.
Women have been known to be right
in condemning man from the shape
of his nose However, there was not
the slightest proof that Mrs, Thurston
had any direct or indirect influence on
her husbands suicide. What surprised
every one was that this climax to her
unfortunate matrimonial affairs seemed
10 have no more effect upon her than
either of the other cases. She seemed
perfectly passive under each and all
Of them. Nevertheless she did not
marry again. though 1t was reported
that several men at different times
were attentive to her. 1t was supposed
that on learning her marital record
they desisted.
Mrs. Gregg Thurston died when she
was past fifty. No explanation was
ever given Of the blight that fell on
her lovers, but there was a story told
by the physician who brought her into
the world that her mother few
months before the child's birth had
been frightened by a snake

taid in sobbing tones:
