One daughter ts 2 member of one ef the Frohman theatrical compantes. Mra, Miers sued for a separation, al- leging long-standing neglect and cruel treatment. The case was called for trial before Justice Davy and the wife had thirty-five witnesses tn court. There were nearly as many witnesses for the husband. "Your Honor,” said Charles 1. man for Miers, to reconcile this respected couple in the @unset of life, but I have failed, 1 still believe, however, that their differences could and should be settled amicably. ‘WIll he not execute a bond to treat her fairly, to maintain her as she should be maintained?” asked the Justice. “I belteve ho will, and I make that offer," replied Mr. Hoffman. 3 “This husband has been crue! and Gegiectful for many years,” raid Alex- ander Rosenthal, the wife's lawyer, “out if Mr. Miers ts sincere In this offer we will join with him.” “You lawyers take this husband and wite aside and talk tt over," sald the Justice. ‘The lawyers obeyed, while the sixty- Sd witnesses, all hot partisans, closed fm argund them and a fight seemed imminent. They were unanimous in only one thing, and that was opposition to any settlement. They had came to wre end participate in « combat; they Gian/t want It stopped.
