Charged with stealing the affections
of her brother-in-law from his wife.

cinct Police Court on complaint of her
sister, Mrs. Susan Lingsch, of the same
address. The husband, Charles Lingsch,
was also arraigned. -, IS. .-f,p :
Mrs. Lingsch told the court of alleged
f%riendliness between her husband and
her sister. She had suspected for some
time that her husbands affections had
been transferred, she said. and her sus-
picions had been verified by an alleged
confession mad to her by her sister.
The sister did not deny the confession,
but stoutly maintained that she loved
Lingsch, and that he loved her better
than his own wife. Lingsch. had but
little to say, except that he had agreed
to send his sister-in-law back to Ger
many, If his wife would forgive him.
Lingsch and the Garry girl were held
in $500 bail each to await the action of
the grand jury.

had sued the Erie Railway Company
for $1,000 damages, because she fell
from one of its trains In Jersey City,

Parker, counsel for the company, made
a motion for a non-suit, and this the
court granted.
Mr.. Parker set forth at length, and
quoted many authorities, that the train
on which the young woman vas stand
ing at the time it was about to leave
the station in Jersey City did not start
with any UGH unusual lurch as set
forth in the declaration. 1t started up,
he argued, only with such force as was
necessary for it's operation, and II the
plaintiff fell it a because of con
tributory negligence on her part.
Franklin w. Fort. a son. of Governor
Fort, represented the plaintiff, whose
chief injuries were to the left eye and
