The court room in which the
Staten Island broach of promlio suit
la being hoard was crowded to Ita
fullest capacity. Both Baririoh and
Miss McLean were tardy in making
their appearance. The floral adorn *
monte of Miss McLoan were very
elaborate. At every movement of
the fair defendant n tender vine of
stnllax trembled on her ooraago.
Birwich , who clalmi $10,000 for her
refusing to marry him , looked some-
wliat pale , bnt his oyoa were bright
and ho evidently seemed qnlto
hopeful. His lawyer , Mr. Hock-
stadtor , announced that he
lud closed the caio on the
direct examination ; and Mr. Killlan.
for the young lady , promptly moved
that the roforao dismiss the suit on
the ground that the plaintiff had not
suViolent ( cause for continuing the ac
tion , llo also said that after the en
gagement had boon broken on San-
day , January 28h , It was mutually
renewed next day. In reply to this
Mr. Hookatadtor Bald the agreement
had boon broken again. Discussion
on these points wai prolonged at
length , and Mr. Killlan insisted that
the contract between Barwlch and
Mlis McLean had boon renewed on
the day following the breach , and the
action waa therefore premature. Mr.
KUIlan then opened the case for the
defense. Ho said ho would show that

trothal It waa agreed to modify the
engagement. The plaintiff had not
tutibrod in reputation oa health to the ,
extent of moro than one cent damagoi ,
and the defendant waa requested to
give particulars of snob damages.
The defendant waa then called to
the stand , and testified as follows :
'Do yon remember mooting the
plaint Id on Sunday evening , January
28 , 1883 ? "
"Yes ; I had & conversation with
him at that tlmo ; ho loft the house
to catch the 0 o'clock boat. Wo

missed the boat no would oomo back.
There had boou n gentleman visiting
the house that afternoon , and I Intro-
duood him as my cousin. Ho did not
find the boat , and whim ho returned
to the house ho asked mo on which
side of the finally the gentleman waa
related my father's or mother's side ,
I replied that what I had said about

'Very well , ' I said , hero is your
ring. ' Ho took it and put it in hta
pocket. At the same tlmo ho took
oil'a locket and watch chain that I
had given htm , and laid them on the
table ; also a pair of gloves I had
given him. I then wont into the hall
and informed my cousin , Miss Lily
Hall , that ho had broken the engage
ment. "
"Was ho present all this time ? "
"Yes , ho waa there and did not
say anything just then , but later ho
remarked that I had bettor pay my
brother's dtbts. "
"What did you say ? "
"I replied that I was not my
I brother's keeper ; that ho ( the plain
tiff ) should go to my brother , "
"What did Barwlch say when he
left ? "
"Ho bade good-bye to every one In
the room. Ho offered to shake hands
with mo , but I refused. I did not
touch the locket or chain after ho
wont away. My cousin took them. "
"What did you do with the '
gloves ? '
"I threw them intp the hall , and
told my cousin to remove them and.
put them into the kitchen fire. "
This portion of Miss MoLoan's tes
timony was given with great vigor.
UEK EYES FLASHED ,
her face gleamed with crimson , and
she emphasized the words , "I had
no use for them. "
"Did yon see Mr , Barwiok on Monday -
