Stand in Suit.

With the husband on the stand, Mr..
Blake, of counsel with the defendant in
the Van Bernuth divorce case before
Vice-Chancellor Howell today, finished
Identifying and marking the 1856 letters
introduced to show the feelings that ex-
listed between the couple throughout
their married life. When this was fin
ished examination of the witness was
commenced by Frank Sommer, also of
the defense.
BY following a line of questions Mr..
Won Bernuth reeleated the occasion OF
the first declaration by his wife that
her feelings had changed toward him..
One night, ne said, his wife told him;
II no longer feel toward you as / did
We shall live together for the sake of
the children only The husband said
he was stunned, and tried patiently to
get an explanation, but with no sue
cess.
"She would not allow me to kiss her
except at night or in the morning, but
finally she said she did not wish even
this"
What did she give for her reason? %
"She said she saw nc ems in a kiss
that meant nothing. As our wedding
ellillNGTSdTy CdlIt Ob oiit even iSquNSecu
me TO not celegrate 1t, as it was the
most miserable day of her life. Wher
the day arrived, Notwithstanding my
pleadings. she removed her wedding
ring"

riage contract, but she said 1t meant
nothing to her. On the wedding daS
she left u home and went to New
York to celebrate by herself"

tons, but found it impossible. He hat
tried to get into communication will

ceiver was hung up. When he talked
with his sons as they appeared at thu
windows of the Murray Hill home thu
shutters were closed with a slam. HI

NEW YORK, Oct. 21.-MiSs jeanette
Suffern, the 6~5-year-old heroine of a
romantic marriage with "Hostler Bob
Hiscock, has become a permanent resi-
dent of New York city.
Behind a spanking team of bays she
drove up to the Christian Alliance
House on West Forty-fourth street yes
terday afternoon and %nounc that
the valley OF the Ramapo In New Jer"
sey, made famous by her ancestors,
would no longer know her as one of its
own.
1--WE come to New York to stay"
she said. II intend to enjoy life here,
for 1 certainly have been miserably I'M
happy over there in New Jersey. That's
no place for q oma who has money
to spend."
The little woman who proposed to the
stable boy while he washed wagons In
the barn chuckled to herself as If she
felt confident that her 5000. 900 fortune
was a guarantee of good tinses to come.
do you want to know just how Bob
and I came to fall out?'" she asked
suddenly. 1--WE were on a train bound
for New York. He made a remark that
rasped my nerves. I retorted with a
ran that gave him a black eye. Bob
said. Say you are sorry for that l
told him to be quiet, or I'd black the
other eye. When we got to New York
he made q hasty exit. l went back to
Ridgewood.
"If Bob can prove that he was really
divorced from that other woman, and
that he is really my husband, well, l
will stay with him. Bob is all right.
He's more sinned against than sinner.
I still love Bob and he loves me-"
Miss Suffern, or Mrs. Hiscock, then
explained the mysterious Mr.. Simon
episode. "Smon Apgar came out of no.
where and went back again." said the
heiress sadly. HE showed up just
after Bob left me. when I needed con-
ISOLATION most. He gave me an account
of Bob's faults and in this way worked
his way into my good graces. l hired
him to drive me about. Then / learned
that he was a gay young deceiver.
do you know what he finally did?
He kept some of the money I gave him
to pay the help. I threatened his ar
rest and he vanished. Good radiance"
why did you come to New York;
was the next question.
why shouldn't I come here?" she
oueried. "Over there in New Jersey ]
was robbed by everyone. There was
no n there to protect me. I was
cheated, hailed into court and imposed
upon generally. I came here to find
people with human hearts. In New
York everyone minds his own business;
in the country everyone minds every
body else's business.
II like New York because of it's JUS
tice. Why. over there in New Jersey
they do not know what real justice Is
There's no justice there at ALL"
