Mondricks & Wagner, who aro ncting as counsel for the young Indy in her endeavor to punish the deceiver for his alleged villainy. Iere he learned the out- Ine of tho facts in tho case, which went to show that the defendant, a well-to-do stone- cutter doing business at No. 233 North Centre ayente, had been courting the defendant for about a year, and after repented promises to marry her—made both orally and by letter— had a short time ago thrown up tho contract in a most Leartless manner and made are rangements to marry another young Indy, eausing tho plalutiit untold anguish of heart, the only reparation for which was to be found in a handsotne verdict for damages at. the hands of a sympathetic jury. Later In the day the reporter had ATALIC WITH THE PLAINTIFY HERSELF, a pleasant and ladylike young lady, who a sists her mothor ‘at dressmaking at tholr home, No. 34 Clybourn avenue, who, not without an ocensfonal irrepressible tear n+ the most crnel portions of tho tale were told, supplicd him wth tho story of the defend- anv’a wickedness, She met lim ata basket pienic on the Mth of August, 1879, when, al- though she was not attracted to him atiirst, he dovoted himself to her so ussiduously, and preved so pleasant and persistent 1 talker, that sho at lust consented to allow him to“ keep company” with her. Shortly after their friendship began, Mr. Schmidt one evening inade a, pretty speech to the ns- sembled Kivin family, in which he informed thom that he hoped before fone co be pearly Telated to them. ‘This straightforward way of defining his intentlons. placed hin ood footlag with the family, who thenceforwari recelyed him murbaaryedlly a8 © prospective son-in- Jaw.’ After this he came to the house four or five times every week; and, when not able to come, he made up for his regretted absence by writing billets-loux brenthing the soul of Jove wnd’ tho poetry of faithful attectton, ‘Nothing over ran smoother than the course of thelrapparently trio love, and when onthe ‘2d of Inst month Miss Klein necompanied him to, the house of somo of his friends living on life West Side, and he introduced her ns his intended wife, whom he had selected outot fifty, and stated that he had sent ono of hls workingmen to rent rooms for thom to keep house Jn, she considered that nothing could interfore with the crowning of thelr court= ship. On the following day, however, he called aguin to ses her, and, thotgh he was ns plensant as ever when ho first-enme, be- fore his departura he mado the unpleasant announcement that Ur DID NOT INTEND TO MARRY ANYBODY. Miss Klein, who had tearned to love him with all ber heart, was thunderstruck ut this, and asked foran explanation, ‘This he de- slned to give, but ag he interlarded his con- versation on this occasion with insidious ref- erences to the charms of a young Indy called Migs Mina Anderson, who acts aga clerk in H.W.
