She is a daughter of Mr. D. ©. Forney, a well- known newspaper man and niece of the late Juhn W. Forney. She was attractive and noted in this city for her gayety, and her mar- riage here in 1880 to Walter J. Comstock, s wealthy young man of Providence, was one of the chief social events of the season. The marriage, however, did not prove a happy one. ‘There was a divorce, and since then her lifo has been such, according to that her old friends and associates in this city have lost sight of her. ‘THE SCFXE IN COURT TESTERDAT. Moserole, who is twenty-three years old, and Mrs. Comstock were both in Justice Tighe’s court in Brooklyn yesterday. A bandage cir- cled Mrs. Comstock’s forehead, concealing her left eye. The ragged edge of a bruise showed beneath it. Just above the neck of her dress a blue line showed faintly. The York World reporter describing the scene closely fitting frock of light gray staff displayed the small, daintily rounded form. A bit of patent jleuther peeped out from beneath the skirt. She seemed not pretty and she looked old, thirty-tive at least. Yet there was about her ‘that indefinable air of breeding, of gentility, which nothing can eradicate. Coupled ‘with this was a certain grace of man- ner, a quick intelligence and & spirit which suggested champagne and laughter.” Meserole, who was neatly in black, had one eve discolored and one cheek was bruised. His thin face had the pallor of the sick room. Meserole was committed on charge of murder. A charge of vagranc; made against Mrs. Comstock as @ makeshift in order to hold her, but the judge dismissed the charge and she was rearrested as an accessory to the killing. THE TRAGEDY. ‘The victim of the shooting was Theodore Larbig, a commercial traveler, a middle-aged married man, who, it appears, had become in- fatuated with Mrs. Comstock. The story of the circumstances immediately attending the shooting, as told in the New York World today, are as follows: For two or three months young Meserole had been sick. He has Leen suffering from excesses. On May 20 last he sailed for Europe, hoping that a sea voyage would benefit him. He returned a week ago last Wednesday and immediately took up quarters in Mrs. Com- stock's flat.” His father had closed his house at 460 Washington avenue and gone with the fam- ily to Englewood, N.J. Meserole was very much exhausted when he reached the flat. had to go to bed at once. He sent for his physi cians, Dr. Schenck and Dr. Carter. For the first fow days they attended him three times day. ‘The janitress of the building says th ‘Mrs. Comstock represented him as her cousi Larbig returned from a trip last Saturda He went to the bank and drew out 125. He did not go to his home. He called upon Mrs. Comstock about noon on Wednesday. Mes- erole was in the flat at the time and Mra. Com- stock introduced them to each other. It seems that Meserole greeted Larbig ina haughty way, which made him very angry. The flat is on the first floor. Meserole occupied the par- lor, with an alcove bed room, Next to his room was Mrs. tock’s room. Adjoinin that is the dining room, with the servan Toom between. Mrs. Comstock took Larbig into Mescrole’s room. They talked a few min- utes and then Mrs. Comstock and Larbig went into the dining room. He didn’t stay loug. SAID SHE FEARED LARBIG. Later in the afternoon Mrs. Comstock asked Meserole to take her to Coney Island. She said that she didn't want to see Larbig be- cause she was afraid of him. He had gone to the races and might return to the flat later. The two went to Brighton Beach, where they dined. Mrs. Comstock saw Larbig there. He signaled to her several times to leave Meserole and come to him. She shook her head in refusal. it was after 9 o'clock when Meserole and Mrs. Comstock returned to the flat. He was ex- hausted and went into his room and laid down. Mrs. Comstock went out to the grocer's. Just after she returned the door-bell rang sharply. ‘Mrs. Comstock went to the door. Alter a par- ley she admitted Larbig. His face was flushed and he acted as if he had been drinking. He followed Mrs. Comstock through the diving room and into her own room, accusing her of unfaithfulness, saying that Meserole was her lover. She denied it. Larbig struck her. She shrieked. He grasped her arm und planted his fist on her chest. Again she screamed for help. The powerful mun fastened his fingers about her throat and rained blows upon her. Her head was against the folding-bed, which had not been lowered. Meserole jumped from his bed. Drawing his revolver from his pocket he sprang into the other room. He placed the weapon at Larbig’s head, saying he would shoot if the woman was not releised. Mrs. Comstock ran out of the room. Larbig turned upon Mese- role. Larbig weighed at least 190 pounds. He had always been known asa man of remark- able strength. Meserole is wasted with illness and is very weak. He weighs hardly 110 pounds. Larbig told the young man he would have him arrested for threatening his life. Meserole replied that he had only saved the woman's never seen Larbig before that day. I had never even heard of him, so I could not know what his relations with her were.” others in the woman's prison in the daytime. At night she occupies a separate cell. She is suffering intensely from the beating she ro- ce “I did my best to make Larbig go back to his family,” she said, “but he would not. He haunted me continually. I tried to him by moving from one place to another, but I could not." He followed me about. He wanted to furnish a flat for me, and I foolishly let him do so. That is, he bought the furniture on the instalment plan and gave me the money to pa! He sometimes paid my rent and ga me money, but he did not furnishall the money for my support.” I -d much more, many thi which are oud. about hers?

Few women are as tinely educated or accomplished as she. “DOVIE” PORNET'S MARRIAGE. “Dovie” Forney, as stated, was married here in 1880 to Walter J. Comstock, son of J. F. Comstock, a wealthy resident of Providence. They went to live in Providence after their wedding trip. Young Comstock, it is said, met and fell in love with Miss Forney at one of the Atlantic coast resorts. His father made liberal provision for the young couple, presenting them with a house which, with ats furnitare, cost $50,000. ‘They had, it is stated, an sbun- dance of money for entertainments and social extravagances, and,indeed, no limit was ‘was | upon the wishes of Mrs Comstock to enjoy @ gay and brilliant life. A Providence special to the New York Herald today, containing the story of their married life, says: Two years passed away and a son was born. ‘The boy was named Forney for his mother. About two yearsdater trouble began in the family. Some of the tirat movements in the direction of an improper life were made when the skating rink craze broke out. Mra. ‘omstock was at the rink regularly in the even- ing. She founda number of other gay young married women there and gradually the public began to talk about her. It was not long before her husband became suspicious of her. He came home late several times, it is said, and found the house turned topsy turvy, wine bottles lying around and the furniture dismantled. He upbraided his wife, and she, getting angry, instead of defending herself,’ played the whole battery of a depraved woman's tongue on him. He stood it as long as he could and theu left the house. He was greatly affected, but he simply kept away from her, went on with his business and saw that neither herself nor the child suffered. She had the pretty mansion to herself and for ‘s time there were carnivals in it every night. A number of the gilded young men of the town waited on her and made life pleasant f According to her wishes she was still money enough to dispense a liberal hospitality, and she did it. BEGAN To STAY IN NEW YORK. About 1835 she began to stay in New York » good deal. She stopped at the Gedney House. Occasionally she would run down to Provi- dence to see her friends. Her child was left here in charge of servants. As soon as husband found this out he took possession of his home on Parker avenue again and cared for his boy. Even then he did not try for vorce, but allowed his wife her liberty and income. With this income she was able to do as she liked, and the husband, a whole-souled fellow, does uot seein to have heranything. When she was in Providence she stopped with well todo people. She sometimes appeared at balls, and was pointed out as a gay woman, but not necessarily a bad one. Things went ou this way until the March term of the supreme court in 1886. Mr. Com- tock then petitioned for a divorce. There was wide public interest in the case both in this city end in Washington. The husband accused the wife of all varieties of improprieties. He charged her with at one time coming to Prov- idence and registering at the Narragansett Hotel under the name of Miss Post. The peti- tion of her husband was granted after a great mass of evidence had been placed before the court. RETAISED HIB NAME. She was allowed the privilege of seeing her son at his home at any time she might call, but was refused the custody of the child. She was permitted to use her husband's name. She then lived more quietly, but still very well. ‘he Gedney House managed to spare her, and for three years or more she lived in Provi- dence. She then appeared with a certain Belic Seville, who had a semi-private establish- ment of her own on Washington street in Vrovidenee, and who was uid to be from New orl At length she was said to have formed a sort of partuership with two other Providence women for mutual enjoyment. It was a curious arrangement. The three lived in the same house, a large residence belonging to one of them.’ Their life was @ quiet one and respect- able in every sense. In 189 Mrs. Comstock went to New York. A New York jeweler was suid to have drawn her thither. She traveled about with him, and at one time was in Washington, her old home, Yesterday was a perfect day and « great ‘many people took advantage of it to come out took lunch in the great hotel tent or et the cafe.

He gives another lecture tomorrow on “Palestine as It Is,” showing the difference in the country and peo. ple between the biblical times and the present ¥.
