The plaintiff, it appears, is the father of a young lady to whem the first named defendant had been paying attentions during the early part of lastsummer. Langer offered to marry her witbin three months provided that the plain- Uft would give bim #500 in cash and notes to the amount of #1000. Detseh agreed to this proposition, thinking, no doubt, it would be & good thing to belp along his prospective Sov-in-law.
