John w Coogan, said he did not know where she was, although he had notified her Saturday that tho trial would he to-day,
 Many witnesses were put on by the petitioner and from them it was shown that Fireman Mulcahy first met pretty and delicate Lily Cassel at Block Island fin August, 1905, Tho Brennan Is nice looking fellow, and Miss Cassel was attractive. and a ror nance grew out of she meeting. Mul- rahy used to go to see the pretty girl. then about 96 years old, and an expert mlliner, earning about $50 a week, every once in two months, when he had two days off
 They never drank anything to- gether. and the fireman had no idea that the delicate little woman was ad- dIoted to the use of liquor, They were married at tho Guardian Angel Cath ollie church in New York on February Is, 1907, and they came to Hartford to live, In three weeks from the wedding day Mulcahy found 8 nearly empty bottle of gin in his wife's pos session, and from that time on her life has been one of frequent sprees, The woman can stay sober not more than three weeks, and then Is lntoXi- cated from three to eight days aft a time She told her husband and others that she could rot help driuk- Ing. but she promised each time that she would stop, Her excuse was that she was lonesome, as her husband, being fireman, was away from home so much.
