defendant i'm a $4,000 alienation suit,
the papers in which were filed yesterday
by Mrs. Pipers lawyer, Martin Z. Lyncn,
Of No. 36T Fulton street. Brooklyn.
Lynch is also lawyer for Frank Brach
the man under indictment for attacking
Miss Waugh near her home. Sid street
and Fourth avenue, Brooklyn, on tie

Yesterday after the Piper suit was hleC
that he contemplated having the brach
indictment quashed on the strength OF .
statement in Mrs. Pipcr's affidavit That
on the night of October j her husband
told her he had row with Miss Waugh
and struck her in the face.

Mr.. Lynch fixed the papers. ! signed
them" said Mrs. Piper last night. lie
then read the contents. There was men
tion here and there Of Miss Waugh. l
told Mir. Lynch ] had no charges to
make against Miss Waugh, and he said
That's all right; I'll fix that up | told
him / did not want TO bc'miXed up in
any court proceedings never had been
mixed uIj i'm any. And then he read this
part:
That ON the night Of October IL, 1911, the
might of the alleged assault on Miss
Waugh my husband told me he called AT
my mothers place in 9sth street ana then
| came home. That on said night ne was IN.
terviewed by detectives from the Fort
Hamilton precinct I cannot now recal u
exactly what was said to the detectives ny
nv husband. After the detectives had lett
he told me that he would never go back on
me. That | had been good, true anu. kln klnu
70 him That he was through forever WIN
tho Waugh girl and he had bad a httle
auarrel with her and struck her IN tue
race, ana ne dNhpU NV w lpi 6''' i''''
all his misconduct in tho past.
When 7 read that | told him | had
never said any such thing. that | did not
believe my husband had attacked the
! girl. and even if he was a bad man /
would not lie against him. ] told Mr..
Lynch ! could not go into court ana
swear, to such a thing. He told me II
would not be necessary for me to go TO
court and do any swearing. There's $
another part that is absolutely false
this part here:
However for the last three, weeks he hai
treated me i'm very cruel manner and
used vile epithets, stating that now he did
not care what became Of me or the chlld
that he thought more Of the Waugh glrl
than me That ehc would never make any
trouble for him. and that 7 could do what

4 never said my husband said any
thing about the Waugh girl. | was
dumfounded when I saw all this in tho
newspapers I'm going to see Mr.. Lynch
tomorrow and ask him what he means
by It.
