READS BETWEEN THE LINES.
Judge Aii'hbuld Takes No Stock in a

When the case came up for aigument

that on the veiy day that the subpoena
wus seted Mis Woolsey went to Haln
bildge, N, Y., In company with a man
nnmed Williams and that they legls
teted ut a hotel as man anil wife.
Jtidire Aichbnld said:
"It Is easy In lead between the lines
that this was u detectle tiap Into
which this unfoi lunate woman weakly
lell, and If It be title. It Is useless to
tnge It upon us heie. With no show
of Justice can the llbellant shield hlm
sell behind that which he has thus
biought about. The lespoliel
