Jury Will Hear All the Evidence.

On Thur sdayevenlngjFghruaryath, Uetofe Judge C. W. Hanley, at Ellis Theatre, Mr. Frank Morrew. a well ,known and highly respected citizen of this town, will stand as defendant in a Breach of Promise suit brought by one of Rensselaer’s fair daughters. Judge Hanley says the case is one of the most interesting that has ever been tried before him, while, John A. Dunlap, Esq. and Col. Newton, the lawyers for the respective parties, agree that it is one of the most complicated in which they have liver been retained. * . The defendant in this startling case offers for his defense “conspiracy.” He says that well known parties have conspired with Mr. Walter Forbes and others, for the purpose of damaging; his, the defendant’s, reputation. ' we cannot vouch for the truth of such statement, but it is said by those in position to know, that from the opening of the court until the close of the case, the audience will be kept keyed up to the point of convulsions by the unique proceedings. Wit, pathos, eloquence, laughable local hits and vagaries will be drawn upon without stint to- keep up the current 6f merriment As an entertainment of innocent fun, conducted with mock dignity and without the shade of offense to refined tastes, the Mock Court Trial will be an event of unusualy. interest
