Meta Gunther, the Winkemeler family cock, in a tatlor-made black gown, # double-breasted, big-buttoned pea-jacket and eye-glasses, looked more like a Bos- submitted to cross-examination by Gen. B. F, Tracy to-day before Justice Landon in Brooklyn's divorce trial of Christian F. Winkemeler against Maud B., his g00d-looking wife. Meta was led again over the story of how boyish “Willie* Finch came fre-, quently from his father’s mansion, next door, to the home of wealthy Confec- tloner Winkemeler, and how Willie caligd her mistress “ Maud, veeped into the billiard-room and saw Willie and Mrs, Winkemeler there with the shades tightly closed, Is It your habit to spy on your mifs- tress?" Gen. Tracy asked with a fine show of indignant virtue, Not if she w: ingle woman! But she was married,” replied the witness. To another question she replied she heard Willie Finch say in a tone of Fe- monstrance: “ You had better stop that; stop now, before it ts too late,” “Why did you begin watching your mistress on the first day of your employ~ ment there?” Gen. Tracy asked. “Weil, Mr Finch came the first morn- ing wbout ¥ o'clock to the basement door, and Mrz, Winkemeler had him sent in. She had no corsets on and her halr was hunging down her back.” ‘The handsome Mra, Winkemeler bent forward in indignant protest to one of the lawyers associated with Gen.
