Millionaire Smith.
Chicago, Aug. 10. Mrs. Kdwnrd Mc
Mahou horsowhlpped Millionaire Petor
Smith and his lawyer, P. Mollugh, dur
ing tho forenoon and then fainted In her
husband's nrms.
The cause of tho dotibto nseault was
tho reading of a deposition by a Cana
dian tloteotlve refi.-ctltig on tbo charac
ter of Mrs. McMahon, and tho horso
whlpptng Is tho climax of n scries of
sensations growing out ot a long stand
ing family quarrel.
Edward McMahon's marrlngo somo
mouths ago to his second wife, who
wielded the rawhtdo in court, was very
displeasing to his mothor and slstor
tho latter tho wife of Millionaire Smith.
MoMahon'a little son, Milton, bad a for
tune of $'30,000, and It was asserted that
tbo stepmother's chief motlvo in marry
ing McMahon was to obtain possession
of this sum,
McMahon nnd wife on ono side, and
his mother, slstor and Millionaire Smith
on tbo other, havo each charged tha
other with attempting llttlo Milton's
doath by poison to provont tho opposing
pnrty from securing his custody.
Tho Canadian deposition road was in
furthorauco ot the legal fight by tho
Smith faction. Mrs. McMahon, shortly
after entering Judge Kohlsaat's court
room, walked quickly to whore Smith
and McIIugh wero sitting, nnd with a
black snnko whip, before tbo astonished
bailiffs or spectators could prevent her,
slashed Smith and McHugn .repeatedly
across the face and nook.
Judge Kohlsaat took no action in the
matter, and intlmntod that the ohild
would not bo given to either faction to
the controversy.
