Lucian Defrehn, of Brandonvlllc, Has
Tale of Woe.
THE FAITHLESSNESS OF HIS WIFE
While Ue Husband Lay Upon Ills Bed
Dangerously 111 the Wife Enjoyed
the Company of a Paramour and
Finally Deserted the Invalid
and Eight Children.
Lucian Defrehn, of Brnndonvlllo. who is
occasionally employed as a laborer on the
Shenandoah Publlo Water Works, was In
town to-day aud told a story of woo. He
stated that his wife had doserted him and
his light children. They had been marriod
nineteen years. The woman's maiden name
was Katie O'Brien and she was employed as
a domestic at Iirandonville for several years
before her marriage. Several weeks ago tho
husband was dangerously Injured by a largo
water pipe rolling upon him. At that time,
Defrehn says, a worthless character named
Albert Poifer, who is about 30 years of age,
was loafing about tho Defrehn houso, which
is located near tho pumping station of tho
water works. Defrehn nlloges that while ho
was confined to bed by his lujuries his wife
and Peifer wore constant companions.
Peifer would sloep in the woods and the
husband says his wifo would carry food to the
rendezvous. Once tho husband went to tho
place and gathered up a large basket of food
his faithless wifo had stored away for her
lover. Two weeks ago, Defrehn says, his
wife left home telling him she was going to
visit at a neighboring farm houso and would
return in an hour. She has not returned
since. Defrehn learned that his wifo and
Peifer left Bruudonvillo together. Ho says
he has traced them to Mahanoy Citv and
learned that his wife is living with a family
as a domestic and hor lover is living with
relatives in tho same town, In closing his
recital Defrehn said, "I don't caro so long as
I can get a divorce Give mo a divorco aud
I'll he satisfied."

Paterson, N. J., Deo. 4. Governor
John W. Griggs arrived home last night
from Washington. He was seen soon
after he reached his residence, but re
fused to talk about the report that he
was to he the next attorney greneral.
He would not say that the ofllce has
been offered to him, neither would he
deny this. Close friends of the Koy-
ernor and of Vice President Hobart.
who was seen at the Hamilton club
later, expressed the belief that the
cabinet position has been tendered the
governor, and added that he would
probably accept It.
Governor John William Griees was
born in Newton, Sussex countv. N. J..
July 10, 1849. He was graduated from
Lafayette college In 1868, and beoame a
law Btudent it the ofllce of Hon. Hobert
Hamilton at Newton. In 1871 he re
moved to Paterson, where he entered
the olllce of the late Socrates Tuttle.
He was admitted to the bar that year
and together with Mr. Tuttle formed
the firm of Tuttle & Griggs. A few
years later he opened an ofllce on his
own account. He was elected to the.
assembly In 1875 and was re-elected two
years later. In the latter year tho
house was equally divided, and he be
came leader on the Republican side.
and this brought him forward. He was
renominated for another term, but was
defeated. He was elected counsel for
the board of freeholders of Passaic
county and city counsel of Paterson.
which ofTlces he held until 1882. when
he was elected to the state senate. Ha
was re-elected state senator and be
came president of the senate fn 1886.
He was delegate-at-large to the Re
publican national convention In 1888.
