TRUTH, Yblcti is Stranger Far Than TanFictions Ever Are.

A Wire of Many Year3 Is Made the Victim of a Henrtless Trade, 'Swapped OfT," Declared Her Legal I!os, "Just as You'd Do a WornOat Horse." Stken Came Proceedings for Divorce for Causes Unknown to the Bible, ad When Vo Writ ,'Eta Up, of Course, With One Accord They Said, "That's Llbol." o on Tfcla Issue to tfc Courts They Went in E&ste and Fury, bat Failed In Hanging De, Poor Soul?, a;jd Only Bung the Jury. IFrom the Snnday -;ntiaeL uu the 3d day ol July la't the Sentinel can 1iued an article purporting to be a short history o! a wife trade made between Aujust F.ichter and cue Baurnueller la the early part of 1SSI. The sitlcie published at ttat time is as follows: "In the trial of Emrna Shultz In the Criminal Court, charged with poisoning a cow belonging to one of her neighbors, an old matter came to the urface which is of rafticient interest to warrant a irief ktaternent of the fact, together with some i ew lie which have come to tne surface. Airs. August Kichter. of Shelby street, was put he witness stand to testify on Dehalf ol the .f fecie. She claimed to be the wife of Ausist Lichter, aad paid on cross-examination that her t v. band. Eaumilier, is dead. Baumlller and dichter traded wiveä over two years a?o. Richter Kgreelnz to cive his wife, a bnv and Sl.üdO in exchange for Mrs. liaumlller. This proposition was accepted, and proceedings were begun by Baamiller lor a divorce. The Courts refused him a divorce, and he took Mrs. Richter and her fon. who was known as "Bismarck," and moved to Minnesota. Richter then applied for a divorc in Judge Adams' court, alleging abandonment lor cause. The divorce was about to be a ranttd. and, in fact, the J udse had said It woald De. but by a fortunate circumstance (or unfortunate, according as it is viewed), the Court was informed that the abandonment was la pursuance of tne trade above referred to. and the decree wis refused. Not long after this Richter and his wife "were marred at least ro they claim. Following this part of the proceedings Mrs. Richter N j. 1 letumed from Minnesota. She said Bumii!er la J gone to drinking. and failure to caerish atd protect her as the wife of his bosom wa? o xross that she had been compelled to Reil her watch, chain and other valuables in order to oolain coney to return to Indianapolis. However, she found the Richter mansion forever closed ogain&t her. and she la now housekeeper for Dr. Cireiner. She has entered into arrau?emeuts with a well-known attorney to bring euit ajains; Aucust Richter, In which action she will allege that ltichter, in consideration of tae trade in wives, was to raj ner f 0 montüly until her soa became of acre. This sura, she saya, has never hern paid, tad her soa la now about eighteen yetirso'd. It remains to be seen what the CDura will do with the case, conlderin2 all Its features: but the auit is to be based on a section of the statute which has but recenuy become a la, which allows a wife to sue her husband on an account. If it is based upon this statute, and Mrs. Uau miller (or Richter) obtains a judgment, the iindiug will carry with it the inference that Ehe Is still the legal w L'e of August Richter. Mr. Richter troubles, however, growing out of the trade." appear to have no end. Some of these trials are Tery arausin?. to all, of course, but himself. Amocs others waa the aettlement and dissolution of partnership with his brother Fred. Fred brought the Bült which was tried before Master Commissioner C. A. Dryer. He claimed, anions other thinss, that August would not worlr, and that he (Fred) had all the work to do. When August went on the stand he testified that ha had "woTK2d all yummfr. -'Yes.' replied Fred Hike h 1 you worked. You was laying round town, swappin; wives all de dime, already.' "Adolph Harder also managed to get Into trouble i a this connection. He had made some derogatory remark concerning Mrs. Richer No, 2 before aha left Baumllier. For this Baumllier preferred charges agalan him in the lodge of the Knlgh's of Honor, and, although the "trade of wives" was made about that time, the charges still rest in the lodse. The first trial resulted in Harder' exo'i!ion. He appealed, and the cae was reversed and ?eut back for anotoer trial. The second trial re-s-ulted aa be'cie, and 82ain Harder apt?a!ed, with a like result. It came back fur trial, and for the tnird tiiae he "was expelled. He apne&Ied ta a higher lo,e. and the decision was atlirmed. fie appealed t-j the Grand ChatHeilor, and asain tae decision of tia lodse wag sustained. He thea went . into the Supreme Lodge of the United States, and the case was reversed, and is now back again fo- a new trlah This makes eisbt trials up to date, aud still there is more to folio r. Meanwhile Richter and Mrs. Richter No. 2 are livlnsc together, and Mrs. Kichter Ko. 1 is house keepin? for another person. The matter i certain to come before the public azain in the futar." The closing sentence of the forcRoine appears to be prophetic in its nature, ihougn it was not expec:el at the time of its writing that it would come before the public" in a relation so intimately corrected with thia paper. Such, however, proved to be the case, and six days after the publication of the article August Richter and his wife, Lena, each filed a suit in the Circuit Court of this county, charaing that tne publication was libellous and asking for tlOCO damage sustained fy spreading the same broadcast over thi country. As the matters contained in the alleged libellous article had been the common talt ontheS3athside since the occurrences related therein, the Näutiaei was a little surprised at the exhibition ol sail in bringing euit on the article, out like a good citizen, it responded to ihe tender calls of August and L?na, pleaded justification )a answer, and the trial of Lena's at:e came up on the 2uth of February and dragged along until Friday, when the argument closed and the jury took the cae. The facts elicited in the trial fuliy substantiate the article sind on and furnish a ptory which is stranger in many resards than the fictions which are born in tha bif in of the novelist. From the testimony the -Toüow.iig appears to be the story of the melodrarra. i nceived and acted out in this city. Ia August Richter, then a young man and bu recently married, located In the southern part of tne city, and loon after became a street contractor, and ultimately, city street commissioner, to which cilice he was elected as representative German. Ueing economical and industrious he acquired a competency, and in the latter part of 3SiO was worth between IT2.000 and 115,000. Dar.ins this lime his wife Christina had contributed her share la building uy the fortune, and no brr ath of suspicion or scandal had ever disturbed the family to far as was known to the public. In the iatier part of 1S0 the Richter family was occupying a neat residence on Fro pect street, and about this time there mived to the city and located on the corner of Buchanan street and Virsinia avtnue a German family named Baumneller. The family consisted of Dr. Theodore H, Binmueller, h:3 wife Lena and a litle daughier. The iaumueller family were in very reduced circumsiancea, having scarcely any furniture in tne house, and, in fact, without so much as a s?ove iinoa which to cook their meals. Soon after their advent in the city they formed the acquaintance of the Richters. The acquaintance ripened into friendship, and the friendship into close intimacy, the two families blns frequently together chirins the latter part of ISN? and the early part of 1 he clof-e Intimacy of the two families excited remarks during .the time, but it was not until April. that rnnion became current that a wife trade had taken place between August Richter and Dr. Baumneller, In which the latter received Christina Richter and Sl.COO in exchange Jor Mrs Baumneller. The trade of wives was canaummated on Satnrday.the ?th of April.lSSl.In the law ctt.ee of a well known firm in this city. Richer there &ivisihla wife f 1,CC0S$C0 la cash and .X0 in notes, which was Immediately randed over to Dr. Baumneller by Ms. dianmuer.cr, the four parties to the trade being prtJent in tueothce. rtlthia n hour after the pavmtnt of the money Richter filed a suit for divorce egs;n bis wife, aud und.'r directions of his .v.torDeytt Sheriff served notice of the acta rpon Mrr. Richter in the attorney"! office where the trade was consumamted. On the same dv ätanmueilernTca a suit ftr divorce a;a!nst his it tie, and at 11 o'lock that night he.and Christina Jiichter asd th wife of the former and the hastand of the Utter went to the Union Depot together, where Baurnueller and Mrs. Richter and a ftoa of.thc iattu too the train.

furnishing the railroad tickets. It shoiil be stated in th:s connection that the trunks ia which Baumueller's clotnlnz was takea away were packed at the Richter mansioa by Alteitimeyer, a neighbor, Richter beinj preheat at the time. tauiaceller and Mrs. Richter located at .2t Lvi. but by the 1st of September be had squandered the SvjO received from Richter.and returned to this city to collect the money on the notes. He remained but a few hours, ard the amount was raised by Richter and paid through a banx ia this city. With this money Baumneller and Mrs. Richter moved to Hale's Corners, Wis., a little village iltnated about thirteen miles from Milwaukee. Here he spent the remainder of the money, and pawned Mrs. Rlcnter's watch for money on which to move to Milwaukee, where they located in March, 1 S 32. During this entire time Baurnueller was drinking heavily, and every day waa Decerning less and less fitted for the business of his prole&fciou. After staying in Milwaukee some two or three months they moved to Durand, Wisconsin, where Mrs. Ricntr left him and returned to this city, fctortly after her return Kaumueller was found dead In his oilice, and was tuned at the expense of the county. The parties to the trs?e who remained i a this city, August Richter 8nd Mrs. Baumueitr, ontinned their as sociatious. the former visiting the latter ouite frequently at her domicile, oa the corner of' Bucbauan street aud Yirsiai avenue. The entire öouta side, where live a laue numbor of cur German population, was p.live with rumors mi.c mini: the fcandal. and. indeel. it was the talk for Kine days in all parts of the city. Ricatci's two ci;s. very estimable, hard woriinz U!l! rata, consattei an aitoruL-y wita a view to etcpi-ixij; the divorce proceedings of their fstitr n:tirs their mother. when hi"h'tr tecair:e fearful of il-.e congc o,uf tecs, 8nd went to cf oar northern ci'is, where he had a Mdtr rtbidln?, and where te- matfe RTiangmicnts for Mrs. Baurnueller to rbiaia until hi divorce was granted, i-ayias to his tisttr cn lLat cccaeion that he "did not dare to know where Mr. Bann:uc!lr was until his divorce s-t ou!d be granted." Returning here. Mrs. Baurnueller wts tent away In pursuance of the arren.'trcent mn.ee by I'.ithter. In order thea to throw his tons oi! their guard and prevent his divorce rrcceeninirs from being contested, he bil his fon Aucust that he did not know wnere Mr. Buumueller W9, and that be would have nothing more to do with her if hewers allows to get a divorce without hindrance. About this time Richter was thrown from bis bugsy and quite rericuEly hurt, being carried to his brother's, auton Richter', where he lay two or three weeks from thercFUlt of his injuries. While still at his brother'?, Mrs. Baurnueller returned from her place of hiding, but was not permitted to stay with August, or her "true lovm? August until death," as be 8'gned himself to a lettter written to her shortly before her return. The facts are. as Ceve'ojed in the evidence, that she was ordered away from the residence cf Richter' awter. ia the city referred to, bis sister charging her with beini; in a conspiracy with Baurnueller to get control o! Richrer's fortune. When she leached Anton Richtcr'3. oa her return to this city, h?r reception was by no means a cord:al one, and early next morniaz she leit the hi'se and took up quarters at the Nation: Hotel. Oa the 17th of May Richter was grant; d a divorce from his wife, and within a lew days he and Mrs. Baumneller moved to cn,e cf his bouses on Shelby street, where she claims to have acted in the capacity of housekeeper. stated before Baumneller Sled a suit for divorce from his wife before leaving the city on tbatevemlul Saturdav night, and shortly therealter Mrs. Bauraueller filed a cros-btll, asking ttat she be divorced, and alleging ahandoarasnt and adultery for came. The case was heard and the divorce refused to both parties, Mrs. Baamuel er not fcaviug been a resident of the State for toe statutory period of two years, which residence is necessary in order tj

obtain a divorce. The matter rested in th'8 way until April, 18S2. when a divorce suit was filed under the title ol Lsua B. Mueller vs. Theodore II. B. Mueller. Tbe cafe came up in Judge Adams' Court, and a divorce was about to le granted, when, as slated in tbe allesei libellous article, the Court was informed that the proceedings were brought in purEuance ol the trade of wives, and cron this information he refused to have the decree recorded. This was some timo in May, 1SS2. and in November Mrs. Eaumneller appeared before the Court and represented, through terattorney, that she was going to Germany, and wanted to bo released . from uer matrimonial bonds with Baanucller and restored to her malcen name of Doeppens, Upon this representation the Court granted the divorce, bot Mrs. Baumeller. instead of going to Germany again, went to Kihter's in the capacity, as Bhe says, of housekeeper, where she remained until the piing of when she married Richter and became the mistress of his domicile. It is not overstating the matter to say that tho eviCence duilng tbeeight days which tbe cae was on trial developed a large amount of frin l, not only in the metr-ods used in brinia tae divorci nut of Mrs. Banmueller, bat as well in the methods used in finally cttia a decree. In the Sentinel's answer to the complaint it was denied that Evimneller was in Indianapolis oa the 21th day of April. lJ. at which time the alleged service of the summoa was had on him. Dr. C. C. Robinson, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Du ce and Mrs. Annie Clark, whose depositions were taken in Milwaukee in the latter part of Januarv, swore positively thatEaumueller w-8 In Milwaukee on the 21th day of April, 332, and Mrs. Christina Richter, who wai with htin at the time, testified on tbe stand that Baurnueller wis rot abfent from Milwaukee p.s much as a day or night nurire the whole time ot their rtsilucd in that city. The Deputy Sheriff testified that be tr.tered Thil Zapf's akon, on Virginia aveua?, ar.d fcrved a nan answering to the name of Theodore II. B. Mueller: that he had no summons for a man named Baumneller, nor U:d lie serve any man by that name; that he was told by oi.e Fernhamer where he would find the d3fead"antinthe suit, and thai th roan Bcrnhamer who. by the way, was Mrs Bauuutller'a attorney -accomranied Lira to th door of the ?aloon, and ToM r.im that he would find the defendant thereiu. The Deputy Sheriff describes the maa whom he fcrvt-o with the summocs as having a very darls l-eaid. whereas Baurnueller was cleanly fbfived cxceit a moustache asd a aTsall patch of whiskers on hi chin. Oae of the strongest circumstances going to st.yw that fcaun. ueiler ws not in the ciiy was the attempt of Mr. Baurnueller, cow Mr. R'ch'er, to bribe M;s Rudolph Bonner to swear ia this tra! ttat ste aw him here in April, H82. The 'a'ptin intrcanced a numlcroI witnesses tor rove thfct Baurnueller was 1-ere, but the most charitable cone. usion that can be reached (on the hypoth esis tba. he wa not) i, that the witnesses saw him in Septem! er. ltvl. when he came from t. Louis to c lief t the money on the no'es slven by Richter in the wi'e trade, and trat they we e honestly mittaten as to tfe time. Oceof the si ran jest aad most mysterious things coanec:el with the who'.a t'air is the fact that the court records in Mrs. Baumueller'sdivorce suit weraampered with and chanced between the tima oi tne publication of the alleged libellous article and the calling of the case for trial. Whatever doubts may exlfct of the legality of the proceedings of Mrs. Baurnueller for a divorce, there can be rone concerning thetradoof wlve tetwetn Richter and Banmueller, and to which Mrs. Baumneller was a willing party. Toe fact that she was supported by Richter after nr husband went away, went to another city to remain till he could get his divorce, entered his house and retrained with him till her divorce was granted and then married him, thouth representing to the Court that she was poing to Germany, Is n mcient to convince the most tkcptical that Richter'a divorce from hia wife at:d her divorce from Baurnueller, and subseqaeut rrarrlage to R chter, were but no many steps la carrying out the terms of the agreement entered into in the chice of the attorneys, and in wnich a consideiatioa of Sl.CCO passed between the parties. As to Richter himself, the evidence was abundant that he admitted having traded off his hrstwife Three or four weeks prior to the cony'lmmation oi the trade he said to one gentleman : Just wait two or three weeks and I'll show you the d dest prettldt woman you ever saw " After the trade had been consummated some tlma he said to another who inquired concerning his family, "Oh, I swapped tbe oM woman oT. I swapped her off just as you would an old horse." The jury was Instructed by the Court and retired to rxake a verdict at 2:00 Friday afternoon. They remained out all night and were discharged at 5 o'clock yesterday evening, bavin? been unabie tu agree upon a verdict. It was learned that the first tallot showed eisht for the defendant and lour for the plaintiff, and ni rhange was made in aay subsequent ballot. What measure of damages the four wanted awarded to the plaintiff could no: be learned, if, indeed, this branch cf the subject was at all discussed in the jurTroom. Whether the case will ever again be tried remains to fcedeMded in the future", tut if the stomachs of Mr. and Mrs. Richter are not immeasurably stronzer iaaa mere oi iae:r fellow-beinsi, they will refrain from civln? further publicity to the disgraceful circumstances with which their names are so intimately connected. The Inside IlUtory. The facts concerning the attempt of the R'xh-tcr-SeciinelJury to ajree upoa a verdict were learned yesterday from a source that may be regarded as strictly reliable. Instead of the first hallnt showing eilht in Utot cl the sent!ael and four in favor of Mrs. Richter the jury really stool ? ta 3 for the respective, rartls. The vale, raiaji ttxis

way for several ballo when one of the juror, fcoptnz to c-:!ect a comp-omi.. vote i lor the p;aiaii3, making thr ballots to 4. Those w no tavoied the piaintid" asked only that one ft at dtns'.'t should be siveu, and tiey based te justice of this upoa the fact as they believed ttat she had isncd taeiume of Lena Bcmueller to her divorce comp:aint, aad tnat she was rot responsible for ttie acts cf her attorney who wrote tbe comr-laiat. "Lena B. Muelkru Theodore II. R. Mueller." and further, that a verdict for the defendant wouM be equivalent to tajing that she and Richter are uot legally marriei. Some twenty-äva or thirty ballots were taken in the fom -seven hours of the jury's delibratioas. when one of the members proposed that he would .ciiipromife by givin the plairuia" oae cent damages. It was thought that this tropos'.tioa hid Leen t ctepted and a verdict wou'd be made, wueu several cf the jurors declared that tae plain tin' W8s not even entitled to one cent, and that it v,er; better that the jary should fail utterly to ?gree than for them not to follow tneir hontet c-iavic-tlons which were t ased upou the evid. n?e and the Irstructions, as they understood thei, of the Court.

The I nst Night of the ftesl(a of th FortyEighth Congress -How the I.chby Iiichcl the Subsidy Ciauso Thrnnsh, Iltc. i JpciAl teniinel Letter 1 Washington, March 7. The last few hours cf a Corgress are always intensely interesting ones. The last hours of ths Fortyseventh Congress were spent in a wrangle ever the right to the seat held by Richardson, of S'juth Carolina. Lee, a colored man, claimed the seat, and the Dbqjocm's in the Heme re'n3C-d to vote, thus breaking the qnorum. Rfchardaon wa unseated, but Lee w es not Eworu in. The list night of the Forty-seventh Cockles was spent in an exceedirgly noisy manner, ana all work wai tlccif d. The scenes at the last night session ci the Forty-eighth Cor.gTf;s were somewhat f ituilar. The pending business was ths coniettd election caje of FrdericK versus Wiifon, cf Iowa, and aithatteh the nicht j assf 1 without a sing'.e reference to the case, the fact that it was bef re the House was tntlicient to frustrate all attempts to call ap other matters. It was the general understanding that this contest ehoaM not be decided. On the Republican side there wai an unanimous determination to keep Wilson in his feat, while among the Democrats there were many who saw in this an opportunity to prevent the consideration of the bill to retire General Grant. Othor3- on the same tide of the Cnarnbe were not anxious tD fettle tbe contest, because they feared the Speaker would recognize Morse to move the passage of the Bankruptcy bill. The Conference Committees on tbe "various appropriation bills were busy all nifcht, and reported pioirress from titns to time. The Hoire was very orderly and quite pocd-natured throughout the night. Contrary to the usual custom co2Tee wa3 the beverage most patronized. Groups of tired members slept in chairs and upoa the sofas in the rear ct the desks. In the front rov of st-ats Potter, of New York, leaned back in his chair with his dcss in the air and his n onth wide open. In the adjoining seat Weiler, cf Iowa, wai stretched out. The snoring of these gentlemen was occasionally loed ear ugh to drown the voice of the reading clerk. AU 07er the chamber boats were seen on the deawa. Aside from Randall. Springer, Hiscock, How, Washburn and TowLshend, few members paid any aUeaion to the proceeding. In tha galleries the scene resembled the ledgers' room in a police station. Hundreds of rren wfco arrived on the late trains were unable to obtain quart?rs. The benches in the spectators' galleries atlgrded welcoras

ftbstitutfs. eifepinu men. of all shiies of color &r.d various dereas of cleaaiineis were ctretct.f d cut in profound repoe. No attention whatever was paid to the discusaian of lie various conference reports. At .'l a. m , tor the second time, the Omferezce Commitiee on the Poitotiiee b:ll re-T-crted that they Lad been una';le to indece the Senate conferees to reduce from the subsidy clause arcendment. and that the specis! stamp feature cf tne bill was still objectionable to the Senate. The sutsi ly amendment was a:a:n discussed. Bayne, of Pennsylvania, in opposing it, wa3 very emphatic in hs denunciation cf the whole project. He intimated very plainly tbat money nad been tvei to secure the passage of tiid clause. Hjrr, with a very red fsce aid a very wild r, rtsented tbe imr;utation, end insisted ihat the 6lvocate3 cf tha measure wore actuated only by ructives cf patriotism and a desi e to promote commerce.
