WIDOW FAINTS AS COUNSEL MENTIONS BABY

Only a brief interval elapsed at the Old Bailey be tween the departure from the dock of Edward Royal Chaplin and the appearance there of Mrs. Georgina May Casserley, widow of the man for whose manslaughter Chaplin had been sent to penal servitude for 12 years.

When her name was first called, her counsel, Mr. St. John Hutchinson, K.C., rose and said.

"Mrs. Casscrley has Chaplin) and is not in a the moment. I am afraid

The judge, acceding to Mr. Hutchinson's suggestion that ho should take another case, said of Mrs. Casserley: "Some doctor had better see her."

Mr. St. John Hutchinson said that considering Mrs. Casserley had been well brought up, she was probably more punished than others.

Her position ever since she Was arrested had been a terrible one, for she had been in a home all the flame and he did not suppose the judge would wish to punish her further.

HUSBAND IN NAME ONLY Mrs. Casserley's falling in love with Chaplin was understandable. Her husband, unfortunately, was in and out of homes for drink husband who was but a husband in name.

There were no children to look after, and when a younger and attrac tive man came, he captured her at- fections and, sald counsel, he thought no one would deny that there was a real friendship which blossomed into a passionate love affair.

Mrs. Casserley had a long conver- sation with her husband before this tragle evening. Ho had threatened her, and his lordship had heard the state of nerves that she was in when she saw Chaplin.

When Chaplin saw her husband she heard this terrible struggle, and then Chaplin came out.
