The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1911-08-18

For playing the role of a masher and annoying Mrs. John Watson An | gell, wife of a Princeton man, Hugo Weiner, who claims to be diplomat personally representing the Austrian government, spent nearly two hours in prison because he could not pay a l fine of $10
 The money was finally sent up to Weiner by friends, the fine was paid,
 and he was then released. Mrs. An gell testified in court that Weiner had annoyed her at intervals for a year. She said the climax in his alleged "mashing'' came last Saturday when, as she was walking from the subway toward her home Weiner fol- lowed her several blocks, and came in front of her, turned and began star ing. Then according to her testi-
 mony, he exclaimed: Who are you looking at?''
 Mrs. Angell's reply was short and
 direct. She says that Weiner used insulting language, and she finally fled on the verge of mysteries. The
 husband, upon returing homeward
 and hearing his wife's story, was wild
 with rage. He cooled after a time
 and decided to have Weiner arrested. This was done, and Weiner was ar
 disorderly conduct.
 After Mrs. Angell had told her story
 in court, Weiner said that he was commissioned by theAustrian Govern
 mnet to send in reports on the com merce of the United States. This,
 however, did not save him.
 Whatever may happen, society is quite agreed that the family of Amos French, the multi-millionare banker
 of this city, will have hard job of it separating their daughter from John Geraghty, the $50 a month New port chauffeur, with whom she eloped from that city last week. Both being of legal age the marriage will stand any test to which it is subjected and the only chance the relatives of the young woman have of ending the union is the hope that when the ex- citement attendent on the runaway subsidies, she will want to go back home of her own volition. This how ever, it is recognized is largely in the hands of Geraghty, who it is believed can hold her loyal to him if he is kind and considerate. The young bride is at that impressionable and romantic age that she will be likely to stick to the chauffeur if he treats her decently and no amount of family argument sor persuasion will be able to induce her to leave him. Although it has gotten to be quite the accepted thing nowadays for chauffeurs and coachmen to enthrone themselves in the affections and good graces of heiresses, judging by the large num- Der who have within the last few years scandalized their proud fami- lies by running away with men of these callings. nothing quite so sen- sational has happened in long time as this French-Geraghty romance.
 This is probably due to the fact that it involves so many families of pro- -lz n, bride, who says she is happy and reconciled to her lot however humble it may prove, is related on the other side to General Baron Chylesmore of the British Army, who married her aunt, Elizabeth French and is therefore his niece by marriage. On this side she is the niece of Elsie of Alfred Gymnne Vanderbilt, sister of Mrs. Alfred Wagstaff and other notables of the society world of this city, Newport, Tuxedo and Philadel- phia.
 It is certain that whatever remit accustomed to getting from her family will now be cut off and that she will soon be reduced to the necessity of depending upon such money as her husband will be able to earn. As this has been very scant in the past, the family of the impulsive young runa- way, are hopeful that when she comes face to face with the struggle of get | ting along on few dollars week, where she formerly had hundreds at l her disposal, she will rebel.
