Ciiit'Aoo , Dec. l. [ Special Telegram lo tin
Hr.i : . ] There-was a hip nrrny Of bright legn
lights waiting for Jtulgo Jatuleson to opei
court this morning. They represented boll
sides of the already famous Carter dlvorei
wise. The defendant , Leslie Carter , was no
present In court , but his end of the fight wa
uphold by Attorneys Melvlllo E. Fuller
Walker und Locseh , while the colnplntnnn
wns represented by cx-Judgcs Sidney Smltl
mill Doollttle , Mr. Wlrt Dexter and Mr. 151
bi Idgo llatiecy. The case enmo up this morn
Ing on rt niolloit to dissolve the Injunction rd
straining the defendant from Interfering wltl
the custody of the child , nt present vestei
In the mother , on the groum
of the hitter's Insanity. Owing to the sciisil
tlonal nnd extraordinary charges proferrel
by the Wlfo In the bill of complaint nnd tin
high soeinl position of tlioCartors in Chicago
thO court wns well filled. Judge Smltl
nroso when court opened and promptly fllci
u cross motion , asking n postponement Of tin
hearing of the defendant's ' motion , mid ii
support of Unit application Wlrt Dexter rent
.hreo iiftldnvits. The llrst Was that of tin
eomphiinant , Louise Carter. She uVerret
that she icsided in tlio family of Dr. Oseai
A. King , nt Lake Geneva , i
lumber of months borore he
jill of complaint was fllei
nnd that on November 4 she cnmo tl
Jhicago , lllod her bill , nnd returned to tin
family of Dr. King , who wns still at Laki
tirntmi , nnd remained in eomp.iny with he :
-iiother nnd child until November 17. 1 hci
she went on u trip to New York and Phil
idelphia on business. When ut Phlhidelphh
: o see u friend she wns taken into custody bj
L'lnkcrton detectives on a'charge of abduc
lion and wns kept a , iirisoncr until her eoun
sel from New York arrived and obtained he
release. She was subjected , sin
eliiims , to Indignities by the friend ;
of her husbnnd , and was forced ti
lenve her business nnd return t <
_ hiengo to answer tno rule of thocdurts. Shi
claims to bo wholly restored to henlth am
strength of mind , and buys that she sleep ;
without the aid of narcotics and intends ti
irovo this. She further asserts that horhus
band removed her child for weeks from tin
city to prevent her from seeing him. Shi
iiiys she wanted to keep the child becnuso sin
: md learned that her husband intended ti
iteep them apart. She hoped that the nrgn
incnts to dissolve the injunction would bi
lostponcd nnd said thnt she tvould offc
imple proof of her ability and sanity.
Attorney Wlrt Dexter read the affidavit o
Mrs. Carter's mother , which stated that tin
child had always been under the persona
euro of herself und daughter. She says tlm
While Mrs. Carter was in Europe for he
health In 1SSC. the child fell ill and the father
who wns in Chicago , never came to see hln
u Now York. The sister and aunt of Mr
Jartor , she says , never took good care of tin
child.
During the course of the proceeding
to-day , as Judge Smith said : "If , you
lionor , the allegations in the bill of complain
in the c.iso arc true , and wo expect to provi
[ heir truth , thmi this man is not a propc
liaity to have tlio custody of the t'lillt
or any other human being , and
assort that , notwithstanding the impudcn
stare of his brother [ hero Judge Smith facci
ubout to Ernest Cai tor , who sat among thi
defendant's counsel , and who wOre a vor ;
red face just then , while the llory" old lawye
| ) ointed his index linger at him ] , ah immidon
stare , your honor. Unit is seemingly lor tin
purpose of intimidation , but it won't do sni
ai it may be , the frightful Offenses , th
crimes with which the defendant stand
charged are becoming alarmingly-common
and It will not do for this man to arlso am
say : 'I move in high circles of society ,
Your honor , whitcd sepulchers date back t
n very early period White on the outside
within , filled with dead men's bones and al
unclciinllncss. "
After considerable farther discussion th
decided that the llrat tpiestinn ho should lira
was that of the sanity of Mrs , Carter , and h
fixed next Saturday to hear that phase of th
case. The whole affair creates the greatc. '
sensation in Chicago and sympathy is cutirul ,
with Mr. Carter , who has lived hero sine
boyhood nnd has always been highly re
spected.

Ho has watched vyith eager interest the faci
of tills witness , his broker , who has , in plaii
words , laid bare the entire transaction.
On cross-examination in the afternoon Wil

named were about all ho had deposited will
the Fidelity bank. Ho had given checks ti
Harper to take up others , , ho did not know t <
what amount. On the ovcuing.of Juno 14 In
