A STRANGE, TURE STORY.

The Langworthy Marriage.

CHAPTER LXXIV.

TO THE ARGENTINE,

The success of this campaign depends upon the presence of Mrs Langworthy at the point where issue is joined. And as the battle must be fought in the law courts of the Argentine Republic, to the Argentine Republic Mrs Langworthy must go. And the sooner she goes the better. ' To many this will no doubt appear a bold, perhaps even a hazardous undertaking. But cour age is ever a better counsellor than craven cowardice, and the enterprise .'is by no means po perilous an enterprise. Englishmen have but the vaguest of ideas of the Argentine Republic, that United States of the southern hemisphere, teeming with tlie resources of a virgin continent and boundless potentialities of wealth beyond the dreams of avarice. History is being made so fast in Southern America that few people know that Beunos Ayres, the New York of the south-western hemisphere, has already 400,0.00 inhabitant.- SBJoying all the resources of civilisation. The Argentine courts, once a byword for delay and cor ruption, are now not unworthy of compari son with those of Europe. Tlie Argentine bar is famous for the high character and capacity of ,ts members. Tho men of the Argentine arc high-spirited, chivalrous, anc| eager to prove that their young Republic is worthy of taking a leading place among the most civilised and progressive states of the new world. Their code is in many respects more civilised than our own. Especially is this the case in relation to women and bhildern. In the opinion of veteran jurists like Dr. Do Lara, of English and American residents, and of nativo Argentines, Mrs Langworthy need not fear to prosecute her suit beforo the tribunals of Buenos Ayres.

We are advised that her proper course is to proceed in person to the capital of the Argentine Republic, armed with all the documents relating to her case, the -decrees of our courts duly vised by bhe Argentine Consul-General, and to place her caso at once in the hands of a thoroughly capable and trustworthy barrister, with instructions to enter an action for alimony for herself and child. The case would be heard by one judge without a jury in the Court of First Instance. The proceedings arc conducted in writing, and either litigant has a right to challenge the judge. Supposing the de cision of the judge follows tho lines of the judgment pronouncedin the English courts, it will be given for Mrs Langworthy. Mr Langworthy will therefore appeal to tho Courb of Appeal, which is composed of bhree or four judges. From bin's again he would probably carry his case to the Supreme Courb, where eight or nine of the most eminent judges in the Republic would finally adjudicate upon the case.

No plea based 011 any alleged transfer of interest from Mr Langworthy to his mother would bo recognised as valid if it were proved to be executed after February, 18S4, when proceedings were lirst begun. As the power of attorney transferring the Lang worthy estates to the mother was only sent out in September, 18SG, this will not stand in the v;*ay of levying a summary execution on Mr Langworthy's estate. In the Argen tine Code, Book iv., Chapter 4 deals . with real and personal right and the succession of natural children. Article 15 says natural children have a right to inheritance in the proportion of one to four. Supposing an estate is worth £95,C00, and that there are.three legitimate and two illegitimate children, multiply the number of legitimate by 4 = 12 Illegitimate children 2 14 •Dividing £95,000 into fourteen portions, each portion would be £7000 Each legitimate child would re ceive four portions = £38, 000 _.' 3 84,000 Each natural child £7000 x 2 = 14,000 £98,000 If there is only one child, and that a natural child, it inherits the whole, or almost the wholo, of its father's estate. This Mr Langworthy knows. Hence his dread of being killed, as in case of his death tho child would inherit. It is doubtful whether, according to the Argentine law, Mr. Langworthy can marry again. Divorce is not recognised in tbe Argentine Republic. Art. 7, chap, i., of the Civil Code dealing with matrimony says : — " A marriage dissolved iv a foreign country in conformity with the laws of that sajue country, and which could not have been dissolved according to the laws of the Argentine Republic, does nob allow either of the parties to marry." Mr Langworthy, until he pays alimony and costs, and provides for the main tenance of his child, cannot be said to have secured the dissolution of his marriage. The decree nisi is insufficient. Little Gladys is therefore heir presumptive to all the vast Langworthy estates in the Argentine Re public—a fact which the A'g.ntine courts are not likely to overlook in awarding alimony. The circumstances are propitious. The Nacion, the leading newspaper of South America, and one of the most enterprising published in any of the Latin tongues, is publishing day by day a Spanish translation of the story of the Langworthy Marriage, supplied by its accomplished correspondent in London,'Sonor L. B. Tamini.

The indignation expressed everywhere in London is echoing* as universally in Buonos Ayres. Mr Langworthy, by hi-* brutal boast that ho could control the deeison of the Ai-gentine Courts, as his friend Don Jose Mai-ia was both judge and advocate, has naturally disgusted the Argentines. If they have a chance they will teach him not to hold up the tribunals of the Republic to the contempt of the world. The Argentine Republic is a young State. It desires to prove to its seniors that its courts are as just as those of any country in the world. If Mrs Langworthy puts them to the test they will welcome the opportunity thus aiibrded of at once demolishing the offensive boast of the man Langworthy, and of show ing that in righting the wronged and vin dicating an injured lady the tribunals of the new Republic can set an example of the courts of an ancient Monarchy. If Mrs. Langworthy goes out now, she will arrive on the crest of the wave of sympathy and indignation that has been roused by the simple recital.of her wrongs. The very romance of this stranger lady from climes afar across six thousand miles of sea to seek redress at the Argentine courts, which the courts of her own country failed fco afford, might well fill the imagination and touch tho hearts of a less chivalrous race than the descendants of the Spanish dons. Mrs. Langworthy, at least, does not shrink •"rom facing the ordeal.

.CHAPTER LXXV.

conclusion.

We have now brought the strange true rtory of the Langworthy marriage down to '.he present day. What is to be the sequel •jf that story it is for our readers to decide. We have no fear as to tlieir response. How ever much they may regret or condemn the mprudence which led Mildred Long to take :he step which was the fatal source o lall her nisei _esj there is only one opinion as to the ,1 ufamyofthe conduct of her husband, andl

the urgent necessity fay teaching g, creature so cruel and so insolehl. that there are limits to the forbearance of* mankind. It is a re proach upon civilisation that such a caitiff should escape unwhipped, of justice. What ever may have, been her errors of judgment, under the overmastering impulse of a first and passionate affection, they have been cruelly expiated. But he, the cause and origin of it all, has suffered nothipg, lias enjoyed every thing, and now snapshis linger at the courts^ and trii.mphs in the apparent impotence of his victim ! Is that to last. It is for each one who reads these lines to supply the apswey.

APPENDIX.

OFFEK,^ <QF COSIPROIffiISE.

It is like extracting blood from a flint, buf drop by drop it comes. Messrs Bircham have made a new offer. At last old Mr*} Langworthy is willing to pay in full the alimony and taxed costs decreed by the court, and even to make some allow ance — amount not stated — for the child. But Mrs Langworthy, sen., still fails to see that the interlocutory judg ment obtained in the breach of promise action makes • her daughter-in-law first creditor to the full amount claimed, pend ing the decision of tho Sheriff's Court, which is not likely, to award less than is claimed. For the court, by awarding her alimony pendente lite of £1,200 per annum, has already assessed the monetary value of a marriage with Mr Langworthy. Damages for breach of promise to marry can, there fore, be calculated without difficulty. W^iat sum is needed to biiy Mrs Langworthy an annuity of £1,200? That sum, no more and no loss, is tho financial equivalent lor the breach of promise. Mrs Langworthy, sen., ignores this, as she formerly ignored tho order for alimony. Probably in this matter also she will open her eves too late.

To this, of course, as to all similar offers made since the light of day was let into the subject, Mrs Langworth'y has returned an absolute and unqualified refusal. Mrs Langworthy's position, as affirmed bythc courts, and Mrs Langworthy's claims, as fixed by the courb, are nob mabters on which com promise is possible. She wouldbeunworbhy of the sympabhy which has been excited by tho narrative of her wrongs if sho consenbed bo entertain for a single moment any pro posals whatever that would take her ease out of the Court, and make what is now a public scandal the subject of a privabe bargain. The sense of public jusbice would be outraged if ab this time, by the assent of bhe victim, a singlo step were to be taken which would tend to diminish by as much as a featherweight the pressure which the combined forces of the law and public opinion are bringing to bear upon Mr Edward Martin Langworthy. Mrs Langworthy had better lose everything than consent to any compromise,, what ever.

THE CASE IN COURT: -^EIW DEVELOP

MENTS.

The Langworthy case has entered upon a new and more exciting pha_c. The pro ceedings at the private examination of Miss Florence Langworthy before Mr Registrar Hazlitt on Saturday cannot be reported. The point at issue is whether, with intent to defraud his creditor—to wit, his wife, Mrs Edward Martin Langworthy-Mr Edward Martin Langworthy transferred his property to his* mother or liis .sister. Mrs Lang worthy's decree of alimony dates back to tho Oth of February, 1884. At that- time he was possessed of money, securities, and real estate valued at over £50,00 *. Now it is alleged he has nothing in the country, and the question is where his money has gone to. The object of the examina tion conducted on Saturday was to ascer tain whether the bankrupt had madp over his property to his relatives to defeat his creditors. His sister, Miss Florence Lang worthy, was subjected to a very searching examination, lasting over two hours- and a half, on Saturday, and the examination of the mother is to be resumed on Friday next.

The absence of Mrs Langworthy, sen., was excused on the ground of ill-health, vouched for by an affidavit from one of the doctors who certified that she could not stand the strain of an examination in open court on a previous occasion. She was ordered to pay the costs of Saturday's pro ceedings, and notice was given that if she did not put in an appearance next Friday application would be made- for an order to commit her for contempt of court.
