AS TO MRS. JULIUS
Minnie' Ollenberg, the wife of Charles Ollonberg, said that she was, in 1903, housemaid at the Stanley Gates Hotel, at Moore. In June, 1903, a surveyor named Blakeley and his assistant, Henry Herbert Martyn, came to stay at the Hotel. After they came witness noticed that Martyn and the licensee's wife, Mrs. Julius, became very friendly. She saw Martyn kiss Mrs. Julius, behind the bar. The first week in November, witness saw Martyn upstairs with hls arm round Mrs Julius, about 10 p.m. They went into a private parlor, and then into Mrs. Julius bedroom. They shut the door, and witness did not see them again that night. On October 20, they went into the bedroom and put the lights out, leaving the door open. It was moonlight, and witness distinctly saw that there were two persons in the bed. On November 8 witness was off duty, and when she came home there was a terrible row in the place, Julius said, "Martyn, I will make you pay.". Julius subsequently asked witness for a statement, which she refused to give. A few days later, when she came back for her clothes and money, Julius refused to give her the money which amounted to L30, unless she gave a statement.
His Honor: Did you get it?
Witness: No; never.
Witness said that subsequently she gave a statement.
Mrs Julius carried revolvers, and told witness that she would shoot her if she told anything about her.
Witness was not anxious to be mixed up in it. She gave a statement in the present case three or four months ago. George Alfred Whittlngton, an engine driver, said that he kept a store at Moore, near Esk, in 1903, next door to the Stanley Gates Hotel.
He met Martyn at the hotel, and constantly noticed Martyn about the hotel on very friendly terms with Mrs Julius. Witness had seen him wlth his arms round her. In October, 1903, witness saw Martyn go with Mrs Julius into a private parlor, and then into a bedroom. In November, 1903, Julius was away, and came back suddenly one night. Witness followed Julius into the hotel. Julius went upstairs and burst a door open, after calling his wife to open it. Witness then heard a great commotion, and Mrs. Julius screaming. Julius said, "I will make you pay dearly for this, Martyn." Martyn passed witness going down stairs. Julius, said to his wife, "This is a nice way to carry on behind my back." Witness heard Mrs, Julius threaten to shoot Minnie Ollonberg, and he took Minnie Ollenberg home. Later on, Julius asked witness for a statement, but he refused to give one. His Honor granted a decree nisi, to be moved absolute in three months, and gave the plaintiff the custody of the child, and ordered the defendant to pay costs.
