Good morning, Brooklyn. Today is the 281st day of the year.

ON THIS DAY in 1909, the Brooklyn Daily Eagle published an article titled “Accused Wife Sees Plot: Charges Desertion, and Love Note is Shown.” The article focused on “marital woes” that unfolded in court at the time that included infidelity and threats.
“Harry Bartow, an electrician, 23… was arraigned before Magistrate O’Reilly in the Manhattan Avenue court this morning on a charge of abandonment made by his wife, Anna, 25,” the Eagle reported.
