In sentencing Braun Judge Ten Eyck
said that. owing to his previous good
record and the fact that he had made

deterrent to any other lawyers who

THIS STRIKE-BREAKER HAS
RECORD FOR BEATINGS.
Almost Forgot How to Spell His
Name Once.

John Leszcsyszn. a strike breaker
employed In the factory OF A. Fisch-
man. in Spring street. holds the record
for having been beaten up more times
than any of his fellows. When he saw
three men standing across the street
from his boarding house, at 40 Beacon
street. today he grew nervous.
What are you waiting for?" he
called to the trio.
Nothing, only you'll feel better to-
night IF you do not go to work today"
was the disconcerting reply.
Leszcsyszn thought 1t over and de-
cided they might be right. After his
last beating he was unable to pro-
nounce his name for three days So he
was taking no chances. He telephoned
the factory and told his employer all
about 1t. At Fischmans request two
policemen from the Fourth Precinct
were sent to the house In Beacon street,
and Leszcsyszn, under police excort.

DIVORCED BY FRAUD.
SAYS WIDOW SUING
GVERNAUO ESTATE
Will Contest by Woman in
France Bares Alleged Mari
tai ENHANCEMENT.

An interesting family story was
brought to light before vice-Chancellor
Stevens in Chancery chambers here to-
day. when an attempt was made by
Mrs. Noemie Givernaud. who resides
with her daughter Eugene In Lyons.
ANrances to establish her dover right to
one-third of the estate of her husband,
Etienne Givernaud. a wealthy silk man.
ufacturer OF West Hoboken, who died
last July. In the attempt move has
been made to set aside decree OF d.
vorce. which the husband obtained on
February II. 1876, on the grounds Of de-
sertion. Mrs. Givernaud alleges that
the decree was secured through fraud,
as her husband always knew of her
whereabouts. and she was never served
with papers in the suit. In fact, she
says, she never knew anything about
1t until she heard Of her husbands
death. when she found out that he
had married again.
The suit is brought against the ex-
ecutors and the second wife, Barbara
Givernaud, who, it Is claimed, was an
employee of the silk manufacturer.
The will left $150.000 outright to the
second wife, and $1,000 to his daughter
Eugene by his first wife. The rest of
the property was left to his brother,
Louis Givernaud, of New York. with
the provision that in case Louis died
before him the property was to be
divided equally between his widow,
Elizabeth Givernaud, and the testa-
tors own widow. Barbara Givernaud.
Mr.. and Mrs. Louis Givernaud died
before the testator, and as result
their son Charles. who lives at the
Hotel Ansonia, came in for his parents
one-half share of the residue Of the
estate.
Minor objections were taken under
advisement by the vice-chancellor, who
will later set a date for hearing.
