TESTIFIES AGAINST HUSBAND Mrs. Kirschgessner Wants Her Spouse Punished for Going with An- H other Woman, A crowded court room marked the open- ing of the case of the state against Anthony Kirchgessner, who is charged with a state offense, before Judge Berka yesterday. A sparrow, which had flown through the open window of the court room flitted like a dove of peace over the heads of Katrina Kirch- gessner, the complaining witness, and An- "thony, as she took the stand to testity against her husband. The case grows out of the alleged desertion by the defendant of his wite. She claims he left her in New- ark, N. J., forsaking her for Fredericka Resicka, who left there, it is alleged about the same time as her husband. She testified that prior to his arrival in this city with the Resicka woman her hus- band operated a trucking business, leaving that In her charge while he dealt in live stock and horses. She claimed that the Resicka ‘woman had clubbed her severely two weebs before her departure from Newark. She produced a love letter writ- ten in terman, which ehe eaid she had abstracted from her husband’s pocket and which she stoutly maintained was written by her husband's alleged paramour. Coming to this city she had learned, she testified, that Anthony and the Resicka woman were residing in a flat on Leaven- worth street. She caused her husband's arrest when she accidentally met him in the Burlington hotel. John Kelly, 1766 Leavenworth street, testified to having seen the defendant in the flat at the above number. Mrs. A. L. Horian, 1754% Leavenworth testified to the cocupancy of the suite of rooms In the flat by Kirchgessner axd the Resicka woman, whom she claimed rad told that Anthony was her husband. The feature of the trial for the defense was the offering In evidence of a document signed by both parties fo the suit, which under the laws of the state of New Jer- sey conetituted a legal separation, the at- tornev held, as by the instrument Kirch- gessner gave all the real and personal property he possessed to his wife, she agreeing not to look to him for further support or maintenance. Attorney Kelkenney, for the defense, moved to hava the case dismissed, holding that the staus iad not established sufficient proof to have the proceedings contin'.ed. Judge Berka gave Prosecutor Burnam .ntil | Tuesday morning in which to make a show- |l ing for the state. “ FIGHT FOR WINCH’S PROPERTY I l Natural Heirs of Dead Man Object to | : | Trausfer Made by G, | Judge Dickinson s hearing the sult of 1 Mre. lmira Ald-'eh, M Ei man and Miss Irene White against Miranda | J. Steen to have set aside a deed of prop- erty made over to defendant on May 10, { 1892, by Seth F. Winch, parent or other relative of the different plaiutiffs. The suit involves a block of ground at the north- west corner of Twenty-fourth and Spencer streets, with elght houses upon it; five acres in Forbes' addition, two lots in Chi- | cago, one at 2111 Washington boulevard and another on the South side; also some land in Minnesota.

Was Mary A. Kemp pushed or did she merely fall by reason of awkwardnss? DI she “scuffle,”” “‘wrestle” or “fight” with her sisters in the lodge, or was she the unabetting and unaiding vietim of a too spontaneous and vigorous demonstration of affection on their part? There are things that cannot be explained until the district court begins its investi- gatlon, which will be when there comes up for trial the case of Kemp against tho American Benevolent assoclation of St. Louls. In the petition in this suit it is alleged that Mary had & membership in the de- tendant association, which is an insurance organization, and that by its terms she was entitled to $60 per month for the four and one-fifth months she was disabled by reason of injuries received in the High- landers' lodge room at Atlantic, Ia., last June. The defendant company is. alleged to have declined to pay her on the ground that her injuries were received while “scuffling, wrestling or fighting,” which conduct, the policy states, immunes the company from responsibility. Mary, answering this allegation, insists that she was merely standing idly on a raised platform when one of the women deployed frum the rear and attempted to carry off Mary's hat by strategy. Certain stout pins made it & crtainty that every- where that Mary went that hat would have to go, and also everywhero the hat went Mary would have to go. The well meant grab at Mary’s hat sent Mary's person over the odge and in alighting her spine was severely Injured. She contends that she was not scuffiing, neither was she wrest- ling or fighting, and that she is therefore unaffected by the clause in the membership certificate. CHAIRMANSHIP GOES BEGGING Nome of Democratic Members Wants to Be Head of County Board, It, in his present contest proceedings with Henry McDonald, Councliman C. O. Lobeck can land the county commissioner- ship of the Fifth district, he is thought to bave excellent prospect of immediately be- coming the chairman of the board. If he doesn't {and It, the three democrats on the board will find themselves in what one of them yesterday cenceded to be '“a deuce of a fix." Peter Hofeldt, present chairman, stated explicitly, repeatedly and emphatically to The Bee that he would not again serve in that capacity Three minutes later Com. missioner O'Keeffe, just returned from visit at Excelsior Springs and feeling “fit for most any sort of engagement, stated that he did not want this begging chair- manship, as he believed he could do more on the floor as a committeeman. A little later Commissioner Connolly was flagged and asked what he would do if it were up to him. Mr. Connoily backed into & corner and said he didn’t know, but that he certainly didn't want the place. He sald, too, that he was aware that an effort was to be made to make him chairman, but that he proposed to.aveid it If possible. Coanolly bas his mayoralty hen on just now and it is stspected that he doesn't wish to assume this chairmanship or any- thing else that might call him away long euough for the eggs to get cold.

This declinition of Ho- feldt's sets them all guessing, as they have | agreed that no republican shall be per- | mitted to have the chalr, no matter what | happens within the ranks. Hofeldt says he thinks O'Keeffe should have it. Connolly looks with favor upon Lobeck.
