Mrs. Grace Esterbrook, in her Pc
tition for divorce from Samuel Es-
terbrook, says he acted more like
beast than a man says the Mansfield
News.
The parties lived at Tiffin, but the
husband is now in the reformatory
at Mansfield. She claims her husband
never showed any affection for her
and began abusing her from the time
they were married.
Mrs. Esterbrook says her husband
never gave her but 1895, and that
was just before the birth of her child.
The wife claims that her husband me-
elected to take care of her and she
had to depend on her father who, she
says, has paid out 5000 for the main
tenance of herself and child. Mrs.
Esterbrook says her husband stole
her jewelry and pawned it, and that
she was compelled to redeem the jew,
elry.
The wife says the conduct of her
husband has been so brutal, SO un-
many, SO outrageous, that she can no
longer live with him with safety to
herself and child. She asks for divorce
and custody of the child and alimony.

CREDITORS OF
LESLIE LOOKING
FOR SULLIVAN
Alleged to Be Man Through
Whom Preferential Payments
Were Made.

Counsel for creditors of Frank Les
lie. alleged bankrupt, have begun an
other search in connection with the
investigation for assets. Mr.. Leslie,
who is a grandson of Frank Leslie,
founder of Leslle's Weekly occupied
the stand for three hours yesterday
in bankruptcy court, before Referee
Edwin G. Adams. AS a result a
search for "a man named Sullivan"
is on.
The alleged bankrupt testified that
"a man named Sullivan was the
person through whom he disposed of
a number of payments, These pay
ments, according t Nathan H Ber-
ger, cunsel fr creditrs, were prefer
entail payments at the expense of
the general creditors. Mr.. Leslie lives
at the Leslie homestead, on Holly
wood avenue, East Orange.
Another alleged agent in the deals
named by Mr.. Leslie was a lawyer.
Mr.. Leslie was not sure whether the
lawyers name is Barrett, or that his
first name is John. Neither could the
witness tell what "Sullivan's" first
name Is. Later on the witness as
serted that he never met sullivan"
personally. because the latter did
business through "LawVer Barrett "
After a long eXamina ton in which
Attorney Berger sought to get some
clue as to the whereabouts of either
Sullivan" or Barrett" counsel gave
up the quest. Mr.. Berger declared
that In his opinion the "agent-law-
yer Sullivan Barrett" person is a
myth.
QuarreIs Lead to Bankruptcy.
The bankruptcy petition against
Mr.. Leslie followed a quarrel with
his former business partner, James
Wallwork, a plumber, of Kearny.
The latter is leading the fight to have
a receiver appointed for the Leslie
estate,

NJ CARROLL CHARGE
DENIED BY council
Kearny Officials Say Town Is
Not Broke" as Claimed by
Commission Lacquer.

The allegation of Walker w. Nc
Carroll to the effect that two council
men had told him Kearny is broke
was denied by every member OF the
Kearny Town Council, including
Mayor Robert E. Torrance, at meet
ing of the council last night.
some of the members of the council
were more emphatic than others In
stating their denials. Councilman
James j. McAteer was probably the
most vociferous in denying telling
McCarroll any such story.
The councilman told of the issuance
of bonds for the trunk sewer and for
street improvements and explained It
was mandatory on the council to
issue such bonds. Councilman Walter
r. Chapman, in stating his denial,
branded the statement of McCarroll
as ridiculous" While Councilman
r. Randolph Crowell denied having
made any statement of the nature
claimed by McCarroll, he said:
1--WE all know the town is in a very
bad condition financially.
Councilman Daniel d. Bryan want
ed to know what Mr.. Crowell meant
by such a statement, and the latter
told of what he called an unnecessary
issuance of bonds fer S1,100 for the
work of dredging Frank Creek. 1t
was explained the tc wn attorney rem
dered an opinion that the bonds could
be issued for the work. as the town
budget had already been made up.
Mayor Torrance declared the town
is not in any condition approaching
bankruptcy The Mayor denied the
town had given away any streets on
the meadows, which claim McCarroll
had made. "The streets were never
on the town map said the Mayor.
After the meeting Mayor Torrance
issued denial of the statement of
McCarroll that the tax rate would be
Increased for the next year because
