for a divorce while his wife, as the
laws of Connecticut still hold. set in

Clo. suds young child.
This peculiar condition of affairs
was brought about by the refusal of
the courts of this state to grant a di-
vorce and the willingness of North
. Dakota to accommodate the wife after
a “short residence in that state.
It all happened in the now famous
case. Weed vs. Weed. The couple resid-
ed in New Canaan and were married
on August 28.1889. They lived to-
gether until December 29 1884. when
the wife left her husband.
In the following year Mrs. Weed in-
stituted proceedings for divorce. In
the complaint she made an extraor-
dinary statement in regard to her
husband
The case was heard by Judge F. S.
Hall. then on the soperior court
bench. The evidence showed an no
tonishing condition of affairs. Judge
Hall. however. could not find that
the plaintiff had sustained her com-
plaint and so the case was dismissed.

friend. Miss Mary Amanda Nichols.

divorce was granted
‘ Sometime after Mrs. Weed married
again. In 1902. the husband institut-
ed dival'ce in this court. He alleged
infidelity and dessrtion and denied the
legality of the Dakota divorce.
A square issue was raised between
the divorce laws of this state and
those of North Dakota. The wife con.
tested the case on the ground that she
was divorped already It was soon
shown in the pleadings that the
courts of this state. under the circum

more serious champ. Yesterday
when both tics faced his honor,
Judge Ralp Wheeler. it was quite
apparent that the divorce would be
pressed solely upon the grounds of de-
sortion.
This course was puflued by the
counsel for the plaintiff. Four wit
nesaes were heard. Mr. Weed stated
that he knew of no reason why his
wife should leave him. The former
wife smiled derislvely when this state
ment was made. Judge Wheeler took
the papers.
A peculiar feature of the case was
that when the wife first brought her
suit State's Attorney Samuel Fessen-
den was counsel for the husband. Let

his suit Mr Fessenden was counsel
for the wife. Judge Light and Judge

most remarkable divorce case which

the trial today owing to a slight cold
she had contracted. Edward and Jo

the only family absentee other than
the countess being George L. Carnegie.
the prisoner s brother- ln-law.
The five jurors selected during the
first two days of the trial appear to
be men well above the average in in-
tellect. All seem to be in prosperous
circumstances. Two of the five are air
lmrsntiy just above fifty years old.
George Pfaff. a hardware dealer. is the
youngest. probably not more than thir-
ty four years old. Charles H. Facile.
the shipping agent is possibly forty.
and Arthur S. Campbell a superinten-
more than two years older. The other.
jurors are Deming 11. Smith. a retired
manufacturer. the foreman. and Henry
C. Barney. manager of a piano concern.
William Rand. the former assistant

court today and attracted some attsn-

to the bar to answer to three indict-
ments of prr'iury The carcinony was
brief. and the work of securing the
remaining seven jurymen to try the
13111er of Stanford White was taken up.
3 When the elder Mrs. Thaw came
into the court room today she seem-
ed oblivious of the presence of the
prisoner‘s wife ill the seat next to
her own. Whether the two had met
outside the courtloom before entering
was not generally known. The form
or chorus girl assisted her mother in-
law, however. in removing her wraps.
Mrs. William Thaw Just before the
trial was opened was handed a tele-
gram in a night message envelope by
her son Josiah. She opened and read
the typewritten message. which up
parently had to do with business af-
fairs. probably in Pittsburg.
The family's attention was distract-
ed by the arraignment of Mr. Rand‘s
client charged with perjury. when
Harry Tthaw entered the courtroom
from the door leading to the prisonel‘ a
pen. They noticed this and as he
passed his mother‘s chair he reached
over with his right hand and grasped
both of hers. which were clasped about
a small. gild-leaved book in her lap.
She looked up quickly. and answer
ed her son’s smile. Mrs. Harry Thaw
gave her prisonephusband an earnest
look of greeting and during the exam-
ination of 1.118 first taleunall of the
day she assumed her customary atti-
tude. leaning well forward in her seat
eager to catch every answer made to
questions out either by District A1101

loading counsel for the defendant.
The first talesmun proved to be Wal-

who was excused on a sustained chal-

that be entertained certain prejudices
which might not make him an impar-

day that Henry C. Harncy. the fifth
juror accepted to try Thaw. has acted

Game Warden Wilbur F. Smith has
been investigating the matter.
last Sunday with Edward H. Forbush
who represents the Audubon Society.
visited a nmnbcr of the local hunters
along thc3sllorss..of the Norwalhs and
secured information on the decrease
of the birds.
Mr. Forbush has records of thiado
crease in the number of different
game birds covering the pastotwenty
years and he finds that nlany.of-the
birds. particularly seafowl. which
were formerly quite plentiful in these
waters, have in some instances become
practically extinct. or there are only
a very few observed.
This is noticeable in the ease of wild
geese which were formerly quite plen-
tiful in these waters at certain times
of migration. but there are few who
can say that they have bagged a
goose in many years in the waters
about The Norwalks.
The only way in which the decrease
can be prevented is by the passage
of uniformlaw in the different sea-
coast states mused upon the actual de-
crease in the numbers of birds.
Mr. Smith says that the way to keep
a fair number of birds is to prohibit
the spring shooting. This, he belfev~
as. would have a very good effect.
Another cause of the decrease of
the birds is the Eskimoa of the far
north where the birds breed .in great
numbers in rookcrles. The Eskimos
gather the eggs by the million, put
them in barrels and than ship them
to New York or Philadelphia. where
they are made into paste which is
used for bookblndlng. This is proba-
bly the primary cause for the great
decrease in recent years. It takes
a great many eggs to make a barrel
of the posts, but hundreds of barrels
of it are used each year.
