preme Court Justice Giegerich sympa-

terday, after he had heard her recital
of her vicissitudes n Ill treatment
after her marriage to Bella Karolyi,
ten years ago.
Mrs. Karolyi, an attractive Hunga-
rian woman of about 30, was suing
for an annuIment of her marriage on
the ground that Karolyi, when he mar
ried her, was insane; that he had run
away from the church where the cere-
mony was celebrated Immediately after
it's solemnization, and had not been
located for three days. Then he was
found wandering at midnight through
a cemetery. After he left his wife in
Toledo she discovered five years later
that he was in the State Hospital at
Rochester, N. Y, not only a maniac,
but with both legs amputated and his
right hand crushed as the result OF
being run over by a train near Buf-
falo. Mrs. Karolyi said that after her
husband had been found in the ceme-
terry she had him taken home n
furnished an apartment, where he lay
In bed most of the day and night for
ten weeks. declaring that two priests
we're constantly visiting him and d.
recting him to kill her in order to ease
his conscience. He also beat her near

Mrs. Karolyi burst out crying at the
recollection. She then told of the dis
appearance of her husband and of
finding him MANNED in a hospital.

He was due at Elizabeth last Mon
day. but did not get in until yesterday
morning. For nearly forty-eight hours
he had been stuck In the Ice in Long

declared, and the delay spoiled his at
tempt to make a record trip from Lun-
nenburg, Nova Scotia.
Coming down along the Nantucket
shoals said Captain Hawk. I'VE
struck lots of loose ice, but 1t did not
bother us much. About midnight
last Sunday we got stuck in the
sound after we had been working hard
for hours and making little Roadway.
we got in so tight that the bow Of
the Eva G. was badly scratched up.
Then we managed to turn around, and
before we got into clear water again
my men had to drop off and chop us
loose with axes. That's how we got
out as soon as we did. AS the men
chopped up the ice we went ahead a
little Inc finally got free. But II we
had not been compelled to turn around
to Montauk Point and come down that
way we'd have made dandy time"
The Eva G. has been engaged In the
general freight business for a number
of years. From Newark she takes a
load of coal to Lunenburg, N. s., and
from the latter place brings a cargo of
lumber for this city.
Another schooner, the James William

BUNYlP MERELY LARGE SEAL
Scientist Sheds Light on Mysterious
Animal That Terrified Aus
traIian Aboriqines.

Early settlers in Australia learned
from the blacks the legend of the
'bunyip," a fearsome creature sup
posed to dwell in the swamps and to
terrify beholders from time to time.
Many appearances of this mysterious
animal have been reported, but in no
case was the evidence satisfactory or
conclusive. The latest story of the
'bunyip' comes from the Black
swamp near Stawell, 70 miles from
Melbourne. The director of the Mel
bourne zoo went up and succeeded in
viewing the animal through a power
full field glass. He pronounced 1t to
be an unusually large seal. The zoo
authorities have offered a reward OF
$50 for it's capture.

To-day there is not the slightest justi-

piled to it, but In the old days, when
mans inhumanity to man was less a
form of speech than cold. merciless
fact. the "Tombs" described an intol-
cradle and disgraceful condition fairly
accurately. Formerly the cells in
which the unfortunate prisoners were
confined while awaiting trial were sit

Their light nor ventilation. A man
might be guiltless of the offense with
which he was charged, yet while
awaiting an opportunity to prove his
innocence he was condemned to spend
days, sometimes months. in what was
little better than a grave. Literally
he was buried alive. A party of for
eigners visiting the prison one day
were startled at seeing human beings
confined in such holes. "They lool
like tombs!" cried some one. New

appropriate appellative and it hal
stuck to the prison ever since.
