Letter‘Read in His Wife€ Divorce Trial, Bpecial to the Post-Disp itch, . MINEOLA, N. Y.; Dec. 28.—More let- ters and telegrams from W. Gould Bro- _kaw, indicating his extremely jealous love for his pretty wife were read to the millionaire on the stand today. Evi- dences of friendship for pérsons desig- nated by Brokaw as “undesirables” have been’ brought to Mrs. Brokaw singe Christmas, it was stated today, and sev- eral persons—have offered to come to Mineola and testify to the millionaire’s jealousies, rebukes and cruelties to his wife. His testimony, the plaintiff's counsel believes, will entirely corrobo- | rate Mrs. Brokaw’s 23 grounds for sépa- | ration. and alimony. Lawyer Baldwin renewed his gruelling of Brokaw this morning and soon had the millionaire nervous arid irritable. Several times he was so confused that his lawyers broke in with objections to } give him ‘a chance to recover. Jealous Letter Is Read. After Brokaw had denied ever accus- ing his wife of going to town to tele- phone some. men or that he ever sus- pected such a thing, Mr. Baidwin pro- duced a letter from Brokaw to Mrs. _ Blair, Mrs. Brokaw’'s mother,‘ in which he wrote: “There is some man. behind her who f ds fil-advising her for a purpose so that they can get rid of me. Well, they have accomplished their purpose. When Mary and I ‘are divorced he can marry her, as she was always in love with ‘him, even up to the time she married. It was not for love she wedded me. If so, she ‘would not have changed back so soon. She talks and writes to this man, dn the sly, I have no doubt, when she goes to town. She never takes Miss Jeffries to the city with her and alWays makes fome excuse so that she can phone to him. You know this man’s name and “you will understand.”’ At the insistance of Brokaw’'s coun- Se] the entire letter was then read. “It was full of complaints against Mrs. Bro- Kaw; accusing her of developing a - fondness for port wine and of smoking . Cigarettes.

Bail, Vice-President of RAILWAY IASANE | TER PROMOTION —_ Reading, Taken to Asylum After Struggle. - PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 2.—Bernard H. Bail, vice-president and general traf- fic manager of the Reading Railway, Was taken from his office in the Read- ing Terminal this morning and placed in the-Kirkbridge Asylum. Overwork is said to have unbalanced his reason. For a week at least, Bail’s associates have suspected that his mind was un- sound. On Dec. 10 he was advanced from the position 6f general freight agent; which he haé@ filled sinee 1390, to the vice-presidency. Recently, it is said, Bail sent a tele- gram to the general freight agent -of the company in Chicago, informing him that his salary had been raised, and that he was to comé here at once. A second telegram followed announcing a further increase in salary. The Chicago agent came here, comprekended the sit- uation and returned West. A week ago Bail astounded the clerks by scattering coins and notes about his office. That he became violent in his office this morning is indicated by the fact’ that it was necessary to handcuff Bail in removing -him. Two of the road’s special policémen were called to take charge of him. A police patrol was summoned. Sersgt. Simpson accompanied the Reading po- lice to Kirkbride Asylum with Bail and Bays that hé behaved quietly during the journey. The special policemen and oth- er officials of the road refuse to say } his office. ‘ Bail is 61 years old ; a is a native of Oneida County, New York. He came to the Reading Raffway as a division freight agent in 1888, after having filled various positions in the freight depart- ments of the New York Central, the Utica & Black River, the New York West Shore & Buffalo, the New York & Ontario and the Wabash.
