In the supreme court in Brooklyn
Mrs. Jennie Caulfield was trying to
convince Justice Marean that she
ought to have separation from her

drunkard and sometimes drank as
much as a pint of whisky before
breakfast.
Justice Marean looked searchingly
at a florid, full-faced man sitting at
the right of the defendants counsel.
Having completed the scrutiny, he
turned to the lawyer and said sharply:
1T seems reasonable. 1t looks as
