MARRIAGE ANNULLED AFTER EIGHT YEARS
Jennie WEBSTER Was Not Sixteen When Wed to Drug Clerk Robert CARLIN
FATHER TOOK LEGAL STEPS
Angry When She Told Him, But Agreed to Delay Action.
A peculiar boy and girl marriage of eight years standing was revealed
in Special Term of the Supreme Court yesterday afternoon, when Justice
SUTHERLAND granted a motion to annul the marriage of Jennie Daisy
WEBSTER, daughter of William R. WEBSTER, of 249 Clinton street, and
Robert CARLIN, which took place March 13, 1898, and was for a
considerable time kept a secret from the parents of the young couple.
When Jennie was not quite 16 years old, and was still kept by her
mother in short skirts she donned one of her mother's skirts, went to a
hairdresser to have her hair done up in real ladylike fashion, and then
to a nearby parsonage. She told the minister she was several years
older that she really was, and he consented to marry the couple.
After the ceremony the youngsters separated, vowing to keep the
contract a secret, the bride going to her home and the bridegroom to
the home of his parents. About a year after the marriage Mrs. CARLIN
told her father about it. He became quite incensed and said he would
have the marriage annulled.
For some reason or other Mr. WEBSTER did not make the matter public,
and young CARLIN continued to call at his bride's home and frequently
dined with her family until some six months ago, when WEBSTER told
young CARLIN that he was going to take legal steps to have the marriage
annulled. The singular facts were aired in court yesterday. Mr.
WEBSTER said that there was no record of his daughter's birth in the
Bureau of Vital Statistics, but he produced an old family Bible which
showed that she was born Sept 26, 1882. When asked why he had so long
delayed this action, Mr. WEBSTER said that it was by an agreement with
young CARLIN, who is a clerk in a drug store. He added, "My daughter
never assumed CARLIN's name; he has never contributed to her support,
and in all these years she has never been out of my home a single
night."
Young CARLIN was not in court nor was he represented by counsel.

FREEL'S WIDOW OBJECTS TO HUSBAND'S WILL
Alleges Valet, Who Gets Most of the Estate, Used Undue Influence.
Mrs. CATHERINE FREEL, of 333 Clinton avenue, through her attorney, M.F.
MCGOLDRICK, made objections to the probating of the will of her
husband, Frank J. FREEL, who died at Stony Creek, Conn., leaving
besides the handsome residence in Clinton avenue, an estate valued at
more than a million dollars. Mrs. FREEL is joined in the objections by
her daughter, Mrs. Philomena MCCLEARY, who was represented in the
Surrogate's Court to-day by Messrs. PEARSALL, KAPPER and PEARSALL.
The will is dated March 2, 1906, only a few days before Mr. FREEL died,
and the point is raised that at the time of making the will, Mr. FREEL
was so enfeebled in health, both physically and mentally, that he was
incapable of making a will.
It is further charged that the will was not a free and voluntary
expression of his wishes, but that it was instigated largely under
undue influence by Patrick J. COLBERT, the testator's valet, or by some
other person or persons acting in concert or privately with him.
By the terms of this alleged will Mrs. FREEL and her daughter feel that
they have not received their rightful consideration as being next of
kin, a large portion of the estate having been bequeathed to COLBERT.
BANK THIEF TURNEY HELD FOR GRAND JURY
Joseph A. TURNEY, of Brooklyn, the defaulting teller of the National
Bank of North America, accused of stealing $34,000, was to-day held by
Magistrate MOSS in the Centre street court, Manhattan, in $10,000 bail
to await action of the Grand Jury. TURNEY was entirely at ease and
smiled as he waived examination. He was not represented by counsel.
In default of bail he was remitted to the Tombs.
Vice-President Walter W. LEE and Cashier E.B. WIRE were in court. When
shown the complaint against him TURNEY inquired if any one else was
accused besides himself. He was told there was not.
SUSPENDS SENTENCE ON GYPSY FORTUNE TELLERS
Magistrate DOOLEY to-day suspended sentence on the two gypsy women who
were take from the kitchen of the Hotel St. George on Saturday night,
where they were telling fortunes. John GODFREY, the mendicant*
officer, told the Magistrate that a suspended sentence would prevent
any further trouble from the women. The camp on New Lots road will
decamp very soon it is said.

PLEAD NOT GUILTY TO BEGGING CHARGES.
Benjamin BOYLE and Patrick MCCARTHY pleaded not guilty to charges of
begging in Adams street court to-day, and were held in $200 bail by
Magistrate DOOLEY until to-morrow for a hearing.
SAYS WIFE BROKE HIS NOSE WITH A PLATE.
The SHIELDS'S in Court Making Accusations Against Each Other.
The William SHIELDSes, of Bath Beach, were this morning again in the
Coney Island court. The live at 78 Bay Twenty-second street. This
time William accuses his wife, who is an attractive woman of 35, of
assaulting him and threatening his life. SHIELDS exhibited a broken
nose as the result, he said, of his wife having thrown a plate at him
with unerring aim last Sunday.
In reply to her husband's charge that she had struck him on the nose
with a plate, Mrs. SHIELDS testified that she did it in self defense.
She asserted that she had stood abuse from her husband right along,
and that she was getting tired of it. She claimed he had struck her,
and spat upon her. She declared that he wanted to get rid of her so
that he could go with a woman he was, as she alleged, "courting on the
outside."
Mr. SHIELDS declared that his wife was accepting the attentions of a
patrolman. He asked her where she got the clothes she had on. He
declared he didn't buy them.
George SHIELDS, the father of the complainant, testified that he had
seen his daughter-in-law raise trouble with his son, and that on one
occasion she had threatened her husband's life.
Magistrate VOORHEES adjourned the case until April 8.
WIDOW AND CHILDREN IN WANT, APPEAL FOR SUPPORT
The Brooklyn Bureau of Charities appeals for contributions to a special
fund of $35 for a widow who is almost incapacitated for work owing to
rheumatism. Her husband died four months ago, and since then a
13-year-old son, thinking that upon him had descended the
responsibility for the care of the family, went to work, but was
returned to school owing to his age. He will reach working age by
summer time, and in the meantime, while he goes to school, a pension of
$2.50 will be required for the care of himself, his mother and
11-year-old brother, in addition to what little is now earned by the
mother. The family is a very self-respecting one, and by summer time
they will be entirely self-supporting. Contributions for this fund,
marked Special B9, may be forwarded to WILLIAM I. NICHOLS, general
secretary, 69 Schermerhorn street, Brooklyn.
MAGISTRATE SCORES MAN WHO CALLS DAUGHTER WAYWARD
The father of ANNIE WOODS, 19 years old, of East Twenty-third street,
had her in the Coney Island court before Magistrate VOORHEES this
morning, complaining that she not only associated with improper and
evil companions, but that she would not live at home.
"No," the magistrate said, "she doesn't live at home, because she
can't. You and your wife are fighting so much that she cannot endure
it."
WOODS had been in the Coney Island court before, but as a defendant.
The case was put over to April 13.
PATRICK HEARING GOES OVER A DAY.
The continued hearing on the application of ALBERT T. PATRICK, the
condemned murderer of WILLIAM MARSH RICE, for a new trial, which was
scheduled to take place before Recorder GOFF in Part I, of the Court of
General Sessions to-day, was adjourned at the request of District
Attorney JEROME until 2 o'clock to-morrow afternoon.
CAN'T GET WORK TO SUPPORT HIS GIRL WIFE
LOUIS DOUGHERTY, 21 years old, of 496 Eleventh street, accused of
non-support by his wife, Anna, was before Magistrate TIGHE in the
Butler street court to-day for the seventh time, DOUGHERTY saying each
time that he was trying hard to get work and couldn't. His wife says
he has given her no money since shortly before Christmas.
DOUGHERTY's father to-day volunteered to pay the girl wife $3 per week
until his son gets employment, and the case was again adjourned until
May 11.
HAS HER SON ARRESTED FOR DISORDERLY CONDUCT
PATRICK KEEGAN, 40 years old, of 519 St. Marks avenue, was before
Magistrate STEERS in the Flatbush court to-day, charged by his mother,
MARY KEEGAN, with acting in a disorderly manner.
The complainant said that her son had created a disturbance in her
apartments and had called her bad names.
The case was adjourned for a week.
HALED TO COURT FOR HOOTING AT TEACHERS.
JOSEPH FALLON, janitor of Public School No. 95, on Van Sicklen street,
was the complainant in the Coney Island court this morning against
16-year-old GEORGE W. REED, of 16 Lake street, whom he accused of
raising a disturbance in the neighborhood of the school almost every
afternoon. In his complaint, FALLON said that REED was usually
accompanied by a number of other boys, who not only made noises, and
created general disturbances, but even hooted and molested the teachers
as they were leaving the building.
Magistrate VOORHEES discharged the boy with a warning.
PERJURY NOW CHARGED IN SYRIAN CHURCH SQUABBLE
The case of ANTON SUFTY, of 311 Henry street, who is charged with
perjury, was again before Magistrate TIGHE in Butler street court this
morning. The complaint is based on the hearing of a charge of
conspiracy against Bishop RAPHAEL HAWAWEENY of the Greek Orthodox
Church, 299 Pacific street, and fourteen other, in August last.
After a number of witnesses had testified that the statements made by
SUFTY at that time were absolutely untrue, the case was adjourned until
April 10.
MAX ZEHDEN'S SISTERS ACCUSE THE WIDOW.
Allege She Used Undue Influence to Get Him to Transfer His Property
Sisters of the late MAX ZEHDEN, who accumulated a fortune from his
picnic grounds in College Point, have brought suit in the Surrogate's
courts in both Kings and Queens counties to have his widow restore to
the estate property deeded to her shortly before ZEHDEN's death. The
sisters, Mrs. HENRY LEHMAN, and Miss CECILIA ZEHDEN, of Manhattan, and
Mrs. MINNIE TOGNOLA, of Brooklyn, claim that the widow improperly
influenced ZEHDEN to transfer his property to her while he was in no
mental condition to transact business. In the papers filed to-day they
don't speak of Mrs. ZEHDEN as the widow of their brother, but as "his
alleged wife." The estate involved is worth nearly $150,000.
The suit in this county will come up for a hearing on April 18. Mrs.
LEHMAN seeks to have an administrator appointed in place of Mrs.
ZEHDEN, and also to have her ordered to restore to the estate $20,000,
supposed to have been deposited with a Brooklyn trust company.
ANONYMOUS LETTER CAUSED STILLWELL'S WOE
GEORGE E. STILLWELL, a good looking young man about twenty-four years
old, of 19 Jefferson avenue, appeared before Magistrate HIGGINBOTHAM in
the Gates avenue court to-day in answer to a summons secured by WILLIAM
R. CONVERSE, of 354 Gates avenue, who accused him of being a disorderly
person.
According to CONVERSE's story, STILLWELL called at his home on
Wednesday evening last and asked his nineteen-year-old daughter Maria
if there was a Miss SPEEL living in the house. Miss CONVERSE told him
she knew of no such person whereupon, it is said, STILLWELL smiled and
asked her if she was sure of that.
The talk between the two attracted the attention of Mrs. CONVERSE, who
directed the stranger to try the next house. He thanked Mrs. CONVERSE
and left only to return in about fifteen minutes and again asked for
Miss SPEEL. The second time STILLWELL returned, it is claimed by Mrs.
CONVERSE, he walked into the hallway of her home and began to talk in a
confidential tone to Mrs. CONVERSE's daughter.
Mrs. CONVERSE disliked STILLWELL's actions, and the following day she
secured a summons for him in the Gates avenue court.
The story told by STILLWELL in court to-day differs entirely from that
told by the complainant. He produced a letter which he said had been
received by his roommate, JOHN BRAYTON, in which the writer, a Miss
SPEEL, invited BRAYTON and a friend to call at her home, 354 Gates
avenue.
STILLWELL told Magistrate HIGGINBOTHAM that when his friend BRAYTON
received this communication he was naturally surprised. He asked
STILLWELL, it is said, to go around to the address given and try to
find out who the mysterious Miss SPEEL was. This was the way STILLWELL
accounted for his visit to the CONVERSE home.
After reading the letter Magistrate HIGGINBOTHAM expressed it as his
opinion that the writer of the letter was insane and probably trying to
annoy Mrs. CONVERSE. He dismissed the case.
GRAY-HAIRED THIEF "TOO OLD TO REFORM"
JOHN MADISON, 62 years old, of 34 Carmine street, Manhattan, accused of
stealing a pocketbook containing 75 cents from a woman, pleaded guilty
to-day before Recorder GOFF and was remanded for sentence Friday. He
was first sent to prison in 1874, and since then has served several
long sentences.
"I'm an old bird," he said, when brought before the Recorder.
"Why don't you try to reform?" inquired the Court.
"What's the use?" replied MADISON. "I'm too old to reform. State's
prison is the only place for me."
MADISON is gray-haired and looks like a broken down old man.
WILL ATTACH ESTATE TURNEY IS HEIR OF.
Knowledge came to President CURTIS, of the National Bank of North
America, that JOSEPH A. TURNEY, defaulting note teller of the bank, had
fallen heir to a large estate, and steps were taken to-day, to attach
the inheritance to make good the $34,000 TURNEY admits stealing.
Under a promise that her name would not be made public TURNEY, it is
said, has disclosed the name who got part of the loot. She still has a
large part of the money TURNEY gave her and is expected to make
restitution to avoid notoriety.

VICTORY FOR PRIEST, CALLED USURER BY BROOKLYN WOMAN.
Justice KEOGH, in the White Plains Supreme Court, has vacated a motion
to examine, before trial, the books of the Rev. Father THOMAS J. LYNCH,
of St. Joseph's Seminary, near Yonkers, who is charged by MARY THERESA
MCCABE, of 265 Putnam avenue, Brooklyn, with usury. The complaint
states that she went to Father LYNCH for loans on two properties and
asked for $4,000 and $5,500. She alleged that the papers she signed
executed mortgages of $5,000 and $7,000 respectively.
MARRIED SECOND WIFE AGAINST COURT ORDER
Now Civil Engineer's Spouse Hales Him to Court on a Charge of Bigamy.
EDWARD T. ORTLOFF, a civil engineer, 28 years old, who lives at 689
Bedford avenue, was before Magistrate O'REILLY in the Manhattan avenue
court to-day on a charge of bigamy, preferred by LAURA ORTLOFF, to
whom he was married on Oct. 8, 1905. The two lived together until a
week ago, when she learned that he had been previously married.
The complainant before her marriage was LAURA KASELER, and her parents
live at 1253 Madison street. On learning that her husband had been
married before, the first wedding having, it is alleged, taken place in
June 1902, Mrs. ORTLOFF went to the Manhattan avenue court and secured
a warrant for his arrest.
ORTLOFF was represented in court to-day by ex-Judge WILLIAM KRAMER, who
said that his client had been married before, but that he had obtained
a divorce from his first wife early in 1905. The interlocutory decree
ordered ORTLOFF not to marry again before March of last year, but the
engineer did not understand this provision, and he took his second wife
five months before the law gave him the right to do so. Judge KRAMER
pointed out that ORTLOFF could not be held on the bigamy charge, but
that he might be held in contempt of court for not waiting until the
law permitted him to remarry. The magistrate paroled the prisoner for
a hearing on Monday.
COST HIM FIVE DOLLARS TO SPEED HIS AUTO.
WILLIAM STILES, 22 years old, of 773 Atlantic avenue, was fined $5
to-day by Magistrate STEERS, in the Flatbush court, charged with
exceeding the speed limit while driving an automobile in Prospect Park.
ITALIAN WEDS GIRL HE HAD ABDUCTED
When the case of VINCENZO ROMEO, 22 years of age, of 504 East Eleventh
street, Manhattan, who was charged with the abduction of pretty
13-year-old MARIA NUNZIATTA, of 221 Van Brunt street, was called this
morning in Butler street court the pair appeared before Magistrate
TIGHE smiling happily. ROMEO lad before the judge a marriage
certificate signed by the Rev. Mgr. DUFFY, rector of St. Agnes' R.C.
Church, at Sackett and Hoyt street, where the young couple were married
since ROMEO's arrest. The complaint was dismissed.
BRAYTON ACCUSED ON THREATENING CONVERSE.
FRANK BRAYTON, of 19 Jefferson avenue, was paroled for examination on
Saturday by Magistrate HIGGINBOTHAM, in the Gates avenue court, to-day
on a charge of threatening WILLIAM R. CONVERSE, of 354 Gates avenue, in
front of the court house yesterday after CONVERSE had appeared against
WILLIAM STILLWELL, a roommate of BRAYTON's, whom he accused of calling
at his home last Saturday night and forcing his way in on the pretense
that he was looking for a Miss SPEEL.
The case against STILLWELL was dismissed yesterday and it is claimed by
CONVERSE that as soon as the party reached the sidewalk BRAYTON turned
to CONVERSE and called him a cur and threatened to punch him in the
face. BRAYTON denied the charge.
ORPHAN ASYLUM GETS GIFT OF SLOCUM VICTIM
Old Statute Raised by Heirs to Defeat Bequest Held Not to Apply
Surrogate CHURCH in a decision to-day upheld a bequest of $1,500 to the
Bethlehem Orphan and Half Orphan Asylum, made by MARGARET GERDES two
months before her death in the General Slocum disaster, in which her
husband also lost his life.
Recently, when Mrs. GERDES' will was offered for probate, the question
was raised as to whether she or her husband died first, for on that
point hinged the distribution of their estates. The Surrogate decided
that they died at the same time, and that Mrs. GERDES' estate must be
distributed accordingly.
When the will came up for probate Lawyer MOSES J. HARRIS, as special
guardian for two minor heirs, CAROLINE VOLGER and LORETTA BOOMGARDEN,
offered a memorandum objecting to the bequest of $1,500 to the asylum
as being null and void under section 6 of the Laws of 1848, which
declares that a bequest to a charitable institution must be made for a
longer period than two months before the death of the testator in order
to be legal. This point has frequently been passed upon by the courts.
Surrogate CHURCH holds in the GERDES matter, however, that the
situation is peculiar. As Mrs. GERDES left no husband or children,
Surrogate CHURCH holds that Section 6 does not apply to her will, as it
was intended principally to guard against injustice to near surviving
relatives of the deceased. In view of these facts the Surrogate
decrees in favor of the orphan asylum, notwithstanding the fact that
the will was made within two months of the testator's death.
HEAVY BAIL FIXED IN CASE OF ALLEGED HIGHWAYMAN
TIMOTHY SCANNELL, of 165 Cooper street, was held in $3,000 bail for the
Grand Jury in the Myrtle avenue court to-day on charges of assault and
highway robbery made by JAMES BOYLE, of 142 Fifth avenue,
superintendent of the Echo Farm Company.
PEDDLER, WITHOUT LICENSE, ARRESTED AS PICKPOCKET
Detectives FARRELL and DEVOY, whose special work is watching the
steamship docks when vessels are to sail for Italy and other points in
the Mediterranean Sea, yesterday arrested a young man who was moving
among the crowds peddling jewelry. They suspected his motives, as many
complaints have reached the police about emigrants and their friends
being robbed at the piers. The prisoner gave his name as SAMUEL
GOLDSTEIN, and his address as 55 West Houston street, Manhattan. He
had no license to peddle and in the Adams street court this morning
Magistrate DOOLEY fined him $5.

SUES CITY FOR MONEY WILLED BY MOTHER
Daughter Wants $53,000 Left By Mrs. CRANE For Building Memorial
Fountain.
Unless the "City Fathers" get on the job mighty quick New York will
lose a bequest of $53,056.07, which was turned into the city treasury
ten years ago for the purpose of erecting a drinking fountain in some
public place to the memory of Mrs. Angelina CRANE, who died Sept. 19,
1894, and left this sum for the above-mentioned purpose. For ten years
the city officials have neglected to carry out the provisions of this
bequest, and now Mrs. CRANE's daughter and next of kin, Mrs. Edith H.
SIMMONS, has brought suit against the city for the recovery of this
money on the ground that the city officials have not and do not intend
to take advantage of the bequest.
Corporation Counsel John J. DELANY has managed to stave off the suit a
few days by filing a demurrer, and Supreme Court Justice MADDOX this
morning sustained the demurrer, which is based on the ground that the
complaint does not state facts sufficient to constitute a cause of
action against the defendant. Permission is granted the plaintiff to
plead again within twenty days.
The suit has brought to light a peculiar situation in the CRANE
household prior to the death of Mrs. Angelina CRANE. Mrs. CRANE died
Sept 19, 1894, leaving personal property of $92,000. At the time she
made her will she, for some reason, was greatly displeased with her
only living child, Mrs. Edith HAWTHORNE SIMMONS, and cut her off with a
paltry $5. She said, "Inasmuch as my daughter, Edith HAWTHORNE CRANE,
now wife of Robert S. SIMMONS, has treated me in a most undutiful and
unnatural manner, I therefore, give and bequeath to her the sum of $5
and no more."
Mrs. CRANE then proceeded to divide her $92,000, as follows: To the
Woman's Hospital at Park avenue and Lexington, Manhattan, $5,000 for
the endowment of a free bed; to the Home for Incurables, $5,000; to St.
Luke's Hospital, $5,000, and to the Tribune Fresh Air Fund, $5,000;
and all the balance of her estate to the City of New York for the
purpose of erecting a drinking fountain to her memory in some public
place in New York City.
The balance of the estate after the other legacies in the will had been
paid amounted to $53,056.07. This sum was paid unto the city treasury
July 28, 1896, but has not as yet been used for the purposes for which
it was given.
DESERTED FIRST WIFE: NOW ADMITS BIGAMY
It developed in the Gates avenue court to-day that Fred LANGENEGGER, 52
years old, of 413 Ralph street, who was accused by his wife, Sophie, of
abandonment, was the husband of another woman who accompanied him to
court to-day.
The second wife was Mrs. Ida RITCHEY before she married LANGENEGGER.
The couple were married about three years ago, during which time the
defendant has ....[rest of article missing]
[................] WIFE HE DESERTED
Stephen J. HANLON, of 831 Madison street, was held in $1,000 bail for
examination on Monday by Magistrate FURLONG in the Gates avenue court
to-day on complaint of his wife, Ida, 22 years old, who accuses her
husband of abandoning her on March 13 and later assaulting her. HANLON
denied the charge.
MOTHERS COMPLAINED OF NEGRO'S POOL ROOM.
George GROVE, a negro, who keeps a billiard room at 4 Washington
street, was fined $5 by Magistrate DOOLEY to-day for allowing boys
under 16 years of age to play pool in his place. The mothers of
several boys had complained to the police about the place and Capt.
SHAW made a raid last night.
ADMITS HE STOLE MOTHER'S EARRINGS
Harold GLOZIER, 17 years old, of 1343 Forty-eighth street, was in
Flatblush court this morning on complaint of his mother, Mrs. Nellie E.
GLOZIER. She said that on March 21 her son took a pair of diamond
earrings from her home, valued at $250 and that he afterwards admitted
to her that he had pawned them for $70 and sold the ticket for $5.50.
The boy waived examination and was held in $1,000 bail to await the
action of the Grand Jury.
His mother seemed deeply affected when she took the stand and said she
would like to have the boy committed to some institution.
Detectives MANION and MATHEWS of the Parkville police station, who
arrested the boy, said he told them that he and another boy had gone to
Philadelphia to see the prize fight of the proceeds of the theft.
6 April 1906
SENTENCE SUSPENDED ON "HUMAN SNAKE"
John WILMER MARTINE, the Fifth avenue haberdasher's clerk, was
arraigned to-day before the Justices of the Court of Special Sessions,
Manhattan, for sentence under his plea of guilty to stealing a polo
shirt valued at $5 from his employer, McLAUGHLIN, the haberdasher.
A probation officer reported to the court that he had discovered that
MARTINE's real name is John RAUSCHENBACH and that he has a sister, Mrs.
Bertha BROWN, living at 510 Otterbein street, Baltimore, and another
sister, Mrs. Ida NODMAN, living at Cherry Hill, Md. The probation
officer declared that he understood ex-Senator MASON, of Illinois, had
been informed that MARTINE was engaged to the Senator's daughter, Ruth,
for some time, but that the engagement had been broken. At one time,
it is said, he was secretary for James H. HYDE, former vice-president
of the Equitable Life Assurance Society. He finally joined HARRIGAN'S
circus, eventually developing his act known as the "human snake."
After hearing this report the justices suspended sentence and he was
paroled in the custody of the probation officer until May 25.
EXCISE AGENT ARRESTS L.I. CITY HOTEL MAN
Edward LONERGAN, proprietor of a hotel at 31 Bergen street, Long Island
City, was arrested last night by Henry GEORGE, a special agent of the
State Excise Department, and locked up at the Fourth street station.
LONERGAN was taken into custody after refusing to surrender his hotel
and liquor license. He was taken before Magistrate HEALY in the Long
Island City police court to-day and held for examination on April 13.
He is out on bail.
As near as can be learned the place at 31 Bergen street is owned
jointly by Patrick McCARTHY, who was convicted of running a disorderly
house a few months ago and fined $250 in the Court of Special Sessions,
at Jamaica. The contention that the license of the Bergen street hotel
was forfeited when McCARTHY was convicted.
District Attorney DARRIN, of Queens, was notified to-day and will take
charge of the case.
FIFTEEN YEARS FOR SLAYER OF DEAF MUTE
Thomas MOONEY, 29 years old, of 365 Tenth avenue, Manhattan, who shot
and killed Charles BRENNAN, a deaf mute, on Sept. 24, in the rear room

convicted of manslaughter in the first degree, was sentenced to fifteen
years in Sing Sing prison to-day by Justice DOWLING in the Criminal
Branch of the Supreme Court.

LEAVES ESTATE TO MAN WHO BEFRIENDED HER
Oyster Bay Druggist Learns That He Has Inherited a Considerable Sum
OYSTER BAY, April 7.---
Dr. Louis KEYSER has just been apprised that he
had inherited what is believed to be a considerable sum of money from
an aged woman whom he befriended years ago in Manhattan. The executor
of the estate had great difficulty in locating Dr. KEYSER, who is a
druggist.
Years ago, when Dr. KEYSER was a drug clerk in Manhattan, he found
numerous opportunities to befriend Mrs. Catherine O'NEIL, an aged woman
who, it appeared to the young man, needed friendly assistance. All
that he did for Mrs. O'NEIL was taken thankfully by the age woman, who
conceived a strong affection for the gallant young man who was willing
to trouble himself about an aged old woman with no hope of material
reward. Dr. KEYSER found a larger business opening and Mrs. O'NEIL
passed out of his life, as he supposed, although she often returned to
his thoughts.
Recently, Mrs. O'NEIL died. When her will was opened it was found that
she had left everything to Dr. Louis KEYSER. Included in her
possessions were two life insurance policies, said to be for
substantial sums. The executor knew nothing about Dr. KEYSER and, was
the will did not inform him that he was a druggist, he had difficulty
in tracing him. Chancing to mention the bequest in a wholesale drug
house, the executor was informed that there was a Dr. Louis KEYSER
residing in Oyster Bay, where he conducted a drug store. Dr. KEYSER
was communicated with and requested to claim the effects of Mrs. O'NEIL
at once. The exact value of the estate is not known.

Woman Says Six Have Measles--TIGHE Sorry, But Holds Him for Robbery
Daniel F. CORBETT, 48 years old, of 13 Dennett place, was a prisoner in
the Butler street court this morning, on a charge of assault and
robbery, made by George MCWHINNEY, who has been here but three days
from Dover, N.J., and is at present stopping with his brother Thomas,
at 501 Columbia street.
On Tuesday MCWHINNEY went out for a walk down along the docks at Erie
Basin, and finally went into the saloon of Henry SAVERESE on the Long
Dock, and ordered a drink.
Three men who were in the place when he entered engaged in conversation
with him and in a spirit of friendliness he invited them to drink.
After having three drinks MCWHINNEY says that, feeling tired, he went
into the rear room to sit down and rest himself. No sooner was he
seated than the three men went into the room after him, threw him to
the floor and proceeded to rifle his pockets. Altogether they relieved
him of $35 and a silver watch and gold chain valued at $56. Leaving
him in a dazed condition they made good their escape.
MCWHINNEY, after he had recovered, went back to his brother's house and
told his experience to a policeman living in the same house, who told
him to go at once and report the matter to the Hamilton avenue station.
He did not do this, however until yesterday, and then Detectives
MCGLOIN and MOLIN were assigned to the case.
After much search they finally found the missing watch in a pawnshop at
537 Court street. CORBETT got $3 on it, and afterward disposed of the
ticket for 15 cents to SAVERESE, the saloonkeeper.
This morning CORBETT's wife was in court to intercede for him. She
said that they had six children at home with the measles. The
magistrate said he was very sorry for her, but wanted to know what she
was doing in court when she should be quarantined in the house. "The
courtroon seems to be a neutral ground for most people whose houses are
infected by contagious diseases, in their idea," remarked Magistrate
TIGHE. The case was adjourned and CORBETT held under $1,500 bail.

fireman, called at the court and showed a certificate that KRAEGER was
married to his sister, Edith BOSSERT, on Jan. 31, 1904. KRAEGER was

Led astray, she claimed, by her sister, who is now an invalid in the
Kings County Hospital from an ailment from which doctors contend she
cannot recover, 14-year-old Isabella ARNOLD, of 433 West Forty-sixth
street, Manhattan, was turned over to the Children's Society to-day by
Justice FLEMING in the Children's Court, pending final disposition of
her case.
The girl told a story that shocked even the most hardened of her
listeners. She was arrested at Coney Island, where she had been taken,
she claims, by her sister, Isabella. She said her mother is an
habitual drunkard, and that she practically had to look out for herself
for a considerable time past. There is a younger sister at home now
whom the officers of the Children's Society are about to take into
custody, and see that she is properly taken care of.
There are charges standing against three men whom the ARNOLD girl named
when arrested. Her case will probably be sent to a corrective
institution.
DEATH THREAT HAS TIED WOMAN'S TONGUE
When Philip CORETTO, 26 years old, of 261 Fourth avenue, was taken to
Coney Island court to-day, on the charge of felonious assault preferred
by Mrs. Olympia DE AMBROSIO, of 58 West Fifteenth street, Coney Island,
the police told Magistrate VOORHEES that they considered him the
"bloodiest Italian in Brooklyn." They alleged that in the past year he
had done more stabbing and shooting than any one band of Black Handers.
CORETTO's face is scarred. There are four bullet holes in his head and
his left thumb has been cut off.
CORETTO was arrested Tuesday night by CARRO and SEMONETI on a charge of
assault preferred by Mrs. DE AMBROSIO. The assault occurred during a
fight on the evening of March 18, and since that time CORETTO had been
in hiding. The case was called last Friday, but the DE AMBROSIO woman
failed to appear. This morning she told the magistrate she wished to
withdraw the charge, as she was misinformed as to her assailant.
The detectives said Mrs. DE AMBROSIO's doubt as to the identity of her
assailant was the result of threats made against her life by Italian
agents. There were twelve Italian spectators in court this morning,
and the detectives declared that some of them belonged to the agency.
Magistrate VOORHEES held CORETTO without bail for examination next Wednesday.

shop of Anton HECT, at 222 Leonard street, yesterday afternoon to get a
wagon which HECT had been painting for him, the two had some words
regarding the payment for the work. GORE insisted that he had made a
deposit, while the painter said he had received no money.
After some loud talk, which attracted a crowd, GORE started to take his
wagon from the yard in front of the paint shop. While the two men were
talking some one removed a nut on the rear axle, and the wheel ran off.
GORE accused HECT of taking the nut, and when Policeman LYNCH, of the
Herbert street station, came along, he insisted upon the policeman
taking HECT to the station house. There GORE wanted to prefer a charge
of larceny against HECT, but Sergeant COLEMAN refused to entertain the
charge, as the policeman had not seen the act committed.
When the two men returned to the paint factory they again got into an
altercation, and when Bicycle Policeman CRANE came along he found a
crowd of several hundred persons about the place. HECT and GORE were
still having a war of words and CRANE arrested both on a charge of
disorderly conduct. After the two had been in the station house some
time a real estate agent bailed out HECT, and then HECT put up a bond
for GORE's release. The two men then returned to the paint shop, one
of the spectators restored the missing nut and GORE took his wagon back
to Manhattan.
The two will be in the Manhattan avenue police court this morning.

IMPORTANT DIVORCE RULING IS SUSTAINED.
WASHINGTON, April 16.---The Federal Supreme Court to-day held in the
case of John W. HADDOCK versus Harriet HADDOCK, appealed from New York,
that a State other than that of the matrimonial domicile cannot grant a
divorce to either party unless the other party is actually served with
notice and made a party to the suit within the jurisdiction attempting
to grant the divorce.
HADDOCK married and deserted his wife in New York in 1868, later
obtaining a decree of divorce in Connecticut without Mrs. HADDOCK being
served with notice except by publication. In 1889 Mrs. HADDOCK sued
her husband in New York, obtaining a decree of separation and alimony.
HADDOCK opposed this decree by pleading in bar his decree in
Connecticut. The New York Court of Appeals overruled his plea, and the
Supreme Court to-day upheld the New York court.
DIVORCED ACTOR, RE-WED, WANTS HIS CHILDREN
Lawyer Frederic H. STILLWAGEN, to-day, on behalf of Martin L. ALSOP, an
actor, applied to Supreme Court Justice MADDOX for the custody of his
children. The children were placed in the care of their mother, Ida
Irene ALSOP, of 145 Chestnut street, Brooklyn, in a decree for divorce
granted to Mr. ALSOP in Illinois in 1902. ALSOP declared that the
children were with his brother in Ozone Park, where they were being
well taken care of and were going regularly to school. ALSOP has
married again and wishes to have legal control of the children.
Counsel for the divorced Mrs. ALSOP secured a postponement until April
19 to secure testimony.
LECTURES "COPS" WHO ARRESTED A BUTCHER
A Brownsville butcher was brought before Magistrate VOORHEES to-day in
the Gate avenue court on a charge of selling 45 cents' worth of meat
yesterday. The magistrate paroled him, saying as he did so: "Almost
every saloonkeeper in the city sells beer and whiskey on Sunday, which
is a direct violation of the law," and to the officers who made the
arrest, "You picked out a man who is selling meat and bring him here."
The officers replied that the people were being disturbed in their
peace and religious repose.
"I'll adjourn the case," said the magistrate, "till to-morrow and give
you a chance to bring to court the people whose religious repose was
disturbed by selling meat."
16 April 1906
WIFE PUNCHES SPOUSE IN COURT; ARRESTED.
Mary MURRAY, a little woman wearing gold-rimmed spectacles, was accused
before Magistrate DOOLEY in the Adams street court to-day by her young
daughter, who stood a head taller than she, of endangering the morals
of her children.
Mrs. MURRAY is quick tempered, and she denied the accusation with some
vim. Her husband was standing alongside of her when the accusation was
made, and when Magistrate DOOLEY told her the hearing would be
adjourned until Friday, Mrs. MURRAY promptly gave her husband a sharp
blow in the face which almost floored him.
"Make a charge of assault against that woman," ordered Magistrate
DOOLEY, and this was done.
Mrs. MURRAY had her husband arrested for abandonment, and he had
several witnesses in court to prove that she was an habitual drunkard,
unfit to take care of their children.
LORD DISRAELI'S FRIEND IN MYRTLE AVENUE COURT
A true member of the old English aristocracy asked for the redress of a
grievance in the Myrtle avenue court this morning. John HICKS, a
machinist, of 279 Myrtle avenue, complained that Francisco TRICNACH, a
barber, of 331 Myrtle avenue, had some tools belonging to him which he
would not give up.
HICKS said he had lived in this country twelve years. He asserted that
he had represented his local board in the House of Commons, and was a
personal friend of Lord DISRAELI.
Officer MALONEY was sent with HICKS to see that he secured his tools.
ALLEGED SWINDLER FACES WOMEN VICTIMS.
William C. STAMANCK, alias W.C. KENNEDY, 25 years old, of 265 West
Twenty-fourth street, Manhattan, was held in $500 bail in the Coney
Island court to-day on charges of swindling and obtaining money under
false pretences [British spelling.]
Miss Mary E. LESLIE, of 471 Forty-third street, says that on March 29,
STAMANCK represented himself to be an agent for a monthly periodical
and induced her to part with $1 for a year's subscription and a premium
of thirty-six pieces of crockery. She has not received either the
magazine or the premium.
Another complainant was Miss Detta PRESTON, of 146 Bay Fourteenth
street, who says the same representations were made to her by STAMANCK,
but when he called she only had a $5 bill. He volunteered to get it
changed and she has not seen him since.
George D. BOLTON, of 142 Ross street, New York manager for the
magazine, said that STAMANCK had no connection with the concern.
STAMANCK, who has been sailing under the name of W. C. KENNEDY, has
been wanted for some time, and yesterday when he called at the home of
a Roundsman Edward W. GAYNER, of the Fort Hamilton station, at 540
Fifty-eighth street, a niece of the roundsman answered to bell and
STAMANCK began to show her some books. The roundsman was home. He
asked STAMANCK to step inside and arrested him.
JUDGE OUT OF PATIENCE WITH FOREIGN LINGO
The patience of Judge ASPINALL in the County Court to-day was tried by
the length of time it took to get at the facts through an interpreter.
"If these people come her and do not learn our language we cannot spend
a whole day trying their cases." His Honor directed the interpreter to
ask the plaintiff when and where he was stabbed, the case being that of
John ZALINSKI, of 212 Watkins street.
"I object to your Honor questioning the witness," said defendant's
counsel.
"Go ahead and object and take a dozen exceptions if you want them. I
am trying to help your client if you only had sense enough to see it,:
replied ASPINALL.
The interpreter said that the defendant denied the assault, and that
the complainant had chased him with threats of doing him harm.
"That's enough," snapped his Honor. "Not guilty, gentlemen. Call the
next case."
HINTS BIGAMOUS WIFE WAS SPIRITED AWAY
David S. WALTON, charged with being a bigamist, was held in $1500 bail
for the Grand Jury by Magistrate NAUMER in the Myrtle avenue court this
morning. His first wife, Anna Merina WALTON, 28 years old, of 43 West
Sixteenth street, Manhattan, confronted the accused man in the court
this morning, but the second wife, Lena SUFT WALTON, 26 years old, of
240 Sixth street, did not appear.
When WALTON's attorney asked to have the bail reduced to $1,000,
Magistrate NAUMER said:
"Counsellor, I ought to have fixed the bail at $10.000. I wouldn't
reduce it one cent. We happen to know a few things about this case.
The second woman--referring to Lena SUFT--has been spirited away by
someone."
SENT BLACK HAND LETTER TO FATHER
Young O'ROURKE Admits in Court He Tried to Scare Him Out of $1,000
HAS BEEN IN TROUBLE BEFORE
Ordered to Catholic Protectory by Justice WILKIN.
Matters went hard with Walter O'ROURKE, 14 years old, of 950 Bergen
street, self-confessed author of a black hand letter, whereby he tried
to fleece his own father to the extent of $1,000. Young O'ROURKE is
known as "the bad boy of Bergen street" and has been in so many scraps
that the neighbors long ago despaired of any reformation on his part.
The boy's father, Cornelius O'ROURKE, made a charge against him in the
Children's court to-day of being a disorderly child. Walker [different
spelling] was arrested by Patrolman JOYCE, of the Grand avenue station
this morning after a chase that taxed the "cop's" wind. The boy, when
his case was called in court, marched to the box with a smile on his
face. Justice FLEMING was on the bench.
"Walker, did you send this letter to your father?" the justice asked.
"Yes, I did," the youngster replied. Asked why he had done so, he
declared that he wanted to have a good time. The Black Hand letter
read as follows:
"I will write to you that your son Walter will be held until you pay
$1,000 to the Black Hand and put it in the lamp post on the corner of
Franklin avenue and Bergen street, or we will send him to you after 7
days in a box cit [sic] in pieces.
"BLACK HAND"
If Mr. O'ROURKE was not better acquainted with his son's ways he might
have been very much frightened at this letter. As it was he simply put
it in his pocket and, after questioning the boy, made complaint against
him in the Children's Court.
Walter has been in the juvenile court on numerous occasions. His
father declared that he is absolutely incorrigible and is an habitual
truant from school. "The only thing he doesn't do," Mr. O'ROURKE
stated, "is to go out at night. And that is because I keep too strict
watch on him after he is once in the house."
Justice WILKIN sent the boy to the New York Catholic Protectory.
FINES FOR TWO WHO RAISED ROWS ON CARS
George DOHR, a teamster, of 60 Thompkins avenue, was fined $3 by
Magistrate O'REILLY to-day on a charge of disorderly conduct.
According to the testimony of several witnesses, DOHR so frightened a
trainman on a Sheepshead Bay elevated train, that he refused to go any
further on the way to New York because DOHR had made a bet of $1 to 10
cents that he would "lick" him. DOHR said he had no recollection of
doing anything of the kind.
A.J. WILLIAMS, a deck hand, on a Staten Island ferry boat, was fined $3
for being disorderly on an elevated car. William J. DOOLEY, a special
policeman, accused him of inciting his companions to take his
[DOOLEY's] club.
ACCUSES HIS WIFE OF BEING HABITUAL DRUNKARD
Mary NEWELL, 33 years old, was before Magistrate VOORHEES in the Gates
avenue court this morning charged with being an habitual drunkard. The
charge was made by her husband, Thomas F. NEWELL. Last Thursday night
her three children wandered into the Fifty-second Precinct station
house and were taken to the Children's Court charged with not having
proper guardians and were given into the custody of the Children's
Society, in whose care they now are. The mother has lived in three
places within a month. They were, 1,000 Union street, 43 Herkimer
street and Fulton street and Schenectady avenue.
Agent DORR, of the Children's Society, pressed the charge this morning
and Magistrate VOORHEES adjourned the case until Thursday, holding the
woman in $500 bail. Not being able to furnish bail she was sent to the
House of the Good Shepherd.
WANT NUTT PUNISHED FOR CONTEMPT OF COURT
An application for an order to punish for contempt of court was made in
Special Term of the Supreme Court to-day before Justice MADDOX, by
Lawyer GILCHRIST against Dr. Samuel NUTT, Coroner of Queens County, it
being charged that Dr. NUTT has failed to pay alimony at the rate of
$100 to his wife, Rita L. NUTT. Mrs. NUTT is suing her husband for a
separation. As there was no appearance put in this morning in behalf
of Dr. NUTT the order taken by default.
DOOLITTLE SAYS HE IS NOT DIVORCED
Ignored in Wife's Will, He Files Objections to Its Probate
SHE WAS GIVEN VERDICT
Three Months' Interval Had Not Expired
Claiming that his mother had obtained an interlocutory decree of
absolute divorce of Jan. 3 last from her husband, Warren Henry
DOOLITTLE, Sr., Warren Henry DOOLITTLE, Jr., of 575 Madison street,
this morning filed the will of this mother, Mary Elizabeth DOOLITTLE,
for probate in the Surrogate's court. Simultaneously there was filed
objections to the probate of the will by Mr. DOOLITTLE, Sr., who
claimed that he was the husband of the testatrix and that he had been
ignored in the provisions of the will on account of the influence the
children exercised over their mother.
Mrs. DOOLITTLE died at the above mentioned address March 27. She left
surviving her a husband from which it is alleged she had secured an
interlocutory decree of divorce, and three children who are Warren
Henry DOOLITTLE, Jr., of 575 Madison street; Mrs. Mary DEWEY DAVIS of
459 Eighth avenue, and Mrs. Lillian Belle TAYLOR, of 554 Jefferson
avenue. By the terms of the will the divorced husband is completely
ignored in the document, while all the family jewelry, service sets
and heirlooms of great value are equally divided among the three
children, as is also the residuary estate.
Mr. DOOLITTLE declares that the will was obtained by undue influence
and prays to have it set aside and that the testatrix be declared to
have died intestate.
A peculiar condition arises from the fact that while Mrs. DOOLITTLE had
secured an interlocutory decree for absolute divorce [dated Jan. 31,
1906] the three months had not expired at the time she died [March 27],
so the question may be raised if Mr. DOOLITTLE, Sr., was not legally
the husband of the testatrix at the time of her death, as the divorce
proceedings had not been completed.
17 April 1906
DIKE MOVES TO DISBAR LAWYER VALENTINE
Norman S. DIKE, as chairman of the Grievance Committee of the Brooklyn
Bar Association, moved before the Appellate Division of the Supreme
Court, yesterday, for the disbarment of Benjamin F. VALENTINE from the
practice of law. This action was taken because of VALENTINE's recent
conviction for forgery. He is now under bail pending a hearing before
the Appellate Division. On the request of VALENTINE's counsel, the
hearing was adjourned.
WOULDN'T DISCHARGE MAN WHO SWINDLED WOMEN
William C. SPANNACH, alias William KENNEDY, charged with swindling Bath
Beach and Bay Ridge women through fake subscriptions for a well known
magazine, was in the Coney Island court to-day. His counsel, ex-Judge
NEU, asked Magistrate FURLONG to dismiss the charges as the young
man's father had refunded the money that his son got. Magistrate
FURLONG said that the criminal intent was shown by SPANNACH and he
adjourned the case until Friday.
WILL MAKE CHARGES AGAINST THE ROUNDSMAN
Magistrate O'REILLY, in Adams street court to-day, discharged William
J. HETTRICK, of 10 Stockholm street, after a hearing on a charge of
disorderly conduct made by Roundsman John J. FARRELL, of the Bridge
squad, who arrested him while he was trying to catch a bridge car after
leaving the elevated train.
HETTRICK intends to make formal charges against the roundsman, and may
sue for false imprisonment as well.
18 April 1906
ASSAULTED WITH BRICK WOMAN NOT PROSECUTED.
Freda SCHNEIDER, 45 years old, of 252 East New York avenue, was in the
Gates avenue court to-day charged with assault by Policeman STRATTON of
the Liberty avenue station, who said the woman struck with a brick
Flora GOLDSTEIN, 42 years old, of 1833 Park place. Miss GOLDSTEIN
failed to appear to press the charge and the case was dismissed.

Thirty-fourth street March 17 and to-day began suit against her
husband, William A. BOYDEN, for separation on the ground of cruelty in

When Policeman Edward YOUNGS, of the Brownsville station, last night
tried to arrest William ZIMMERMAN, 21 years old, of 38 Amboy street,
for disorderly conduct, at Pitkin avenue and Junius street, ZIMMERMAN
took the policeman's night stick away from him and beat him with it.
Other policemen came up and clubbed ZIMMERMAN so badly that an
ambulance surgeon had to fix him up. In the Gates avenue court to-day
YOUNGS was unable to produce any witnesses to prove that ZIMMERMAN was
disorderly and he was promptly discharged by Magistrate VOORHEES.
WIDOW DIVIDES DITMAS ESTATE AMONG CHILDREN

MISS ROLLINS INSISTS ON THAT WEDDING
Stenographer Again in Court on Charge of Annoying Dr. HILDRETH
Miss Maud ROLLINS, 25 years old, a stenographer and typewriter, living
at 217 Carlton avenue, was to-day in the Flatbush court charged with
annoying Dr. E.R. HILDRETH, of 989 Bergen street.
Miss ROLLINS was in the same court about two months ago on a similar
charge. She then pleaded with the doctor to marry her. The Magistrate
committed her for examination as to her sanity.
She was declared to be sane and Magistrate STEERS dismissed the case
on her promise not to annoy Dr. HILDRETH.
This morning Dr. HILDRETH complained that Miss ROLLINS had again
annoyed him.
Asked by the Magistrate to-day why she went to the doctor's home she
replied, "I want him to do right by me. I want him to marry me."
The Magistrate said that if she felt she had any claim on the doctor
she could go to the Supreme Court.
He told her she would have to stay away from the doctor or go to jail.
She cried bitterly and said she did not want to go to jail, but she
would not promise to stay away from the doctor's home, delcaring that
Dr. HILDRETH had written a letter telling her to call. The doctor
denied this and the magistrate adjourned the case and paroled Miss
ROLLINS.
21 April 1906
SUPPOSED COUNTERFEITER HAD MANY HALF DOLLARS
In the Flushing court yesterday Magistrate SMITH held a man who
described himself as Giovanni GODLIANO, of First avenue, near
Forty-eighth street, Manhattan, in $2,500 bail. No one by that name
could be found in that neighborhood.
GODLIANO walked into a saloon at Metropolitan avenue and Helen street,
East Williamsburg, on Thursday night, and in payment for a drink threw
down a bright half dollar. A little later the man returned and handed
another new half dollar over the counter. Christopher HENRY, the
bartender, had meanwhile learned that he had accepted a counterfeit,
and he seized the man. After a chase he was caught by Patrolman John
GEDING, of the Glendale sub-station. Many new half dollars were found
in his pocket, together with a roll of genuine bank notes.
WHOLE FAMILY PROTESTS GEORGE THWAITES' WILL
"To my dear friend, Alice WATTERSON [sometimes known as Alice
THWAITES], I bequeath all my personal and real property." So reads the
will of George THWAITES, who died march 18, at his home, 171 Twelfth
street, and the children by his wife, Winifred THWAITES, who lives at
98 1/2 Tompkins avenue, have entered a protest to this disposition of
his property. The will and the protests were filed in the Surrogate's
office to-day, Lawyer James CROPSEY, of 26 Court street, being the
attorney for the objectors. The will is dated Oct. 13, 1904, and makes
Alice WATTERSON the sole executor. The children left by the deceased,
all of age, are William G. THWAITES, of 1462 Seventy-fourth street;
George D. THWAITES, of 335 Seventeenth street; Emily DORMAN, of 171
Fifteenth street; Annie JACKSON, of 1775 Seventy-first street; Charles
THWAITES, of 335 Seventeenth street, and Frank E. THWAITES, of 1775
Seventy-first street, all of Brooklyn. These children have filed
objections to their father leaving all his estate, valued at about
$20,000, to his "dear friend, Alice WATTERSON," to the exclusion of his
own children and widow.
SHE PREFERS STORE TO "CAT AND DOG" MARRIAGE
Because she did not like housework and would rather get back to her old
job in a department store, Mrs. Carrie ROBISON has brought suit in the
Supreme Court for a separation from her husband, James ROBISON. Mrs.
ROBISON before she married was making good wages as a saleswoman.
The case came up to-day before Justice MADDOX in Special Term on
motion of Mrs. ROBISON's lawyer, Russell E. COLOORD. She says that her
husband quarreled with her and she was in fear of life and limb while
she lived with him. Counsel for the husband denied the allegations
and said that Mrs. ROBISON went off with the furniture and refused to
return. The husband declared that his wife had acquaintances whom he
objected to. Decision was reserved.
ARRESTED FOR INTOXICATION; LET GO BY NAUMER
James MITCHELL, 29 years old, of 193 Jamaica avenue, arrested by
Patrolman WALES last night, and James MCDERMOTT, 25 years old, of 146

intoxication, were discharged in the Manhattan avenue court to-day.

CLAIMS HE IS HEIR TO TICHBORNE ESTATE
Destitute and sick, apparently with his last illness, an old man is
lying in the Hudson Street Hospital, Manhattan, who declares that he is
Sir Roger Charles DOUGHTY TICHBORNE, the long lost heir to the great
TICHBORNE estates in Hampshire, England. The story of the TICHBORNE
estates, over which there has been much litigation, is one of the
romances of the English nobility. A few months ago the man who claims
to be the heir to the estate, came to New York on his way to England.
His money gave out and he was taken in an exhausted state to the Hudson
Street Hospital. The story that he tells seems to be verified in
almost every respect.
The real Sir Roger TICHBORNE was educated in Paris, where he was born
in 1829. In early manhood he fell in love with his cousin, Katherine
DOUGHTY, but both being Catholics, they could not marry. Sir Roger,
after that traveled extensively. He was supposed to have been on the
ship Bella, which was lost at sea in 1854. The old man declares that
he was saved by a passing ship and afterwards settled in New York. He
married a Scotch girl and his son, Charles TWEEN, was born. He says
that many years ago he went to England and began a suit for the
estates, but took pity on those who had succeeded to it.
The old man declares his intention, [ ] he again gets well, of going
to England and says that he can prove his identity.

The authorities in the Raymond street jail had their trouble this
morning trying to get one of the prisoners, Patrick MCENTEE, who is
believed to be insane, in condition to go to the Gates avenue court,
where he was to face Magistrate VOORHEES, on a charge of vagrancy.
MCENTEE persisted in removing his clothing as fast as it was put on him
by the jail keepers. After he had been dressed eight times he was
bundled into the prison van and started off toward the court.
Upon the arrival at the Gates avenue court, Johnny QUINN, the driver
of the van, began to unload his prisoners and put them in the court
pen. When MCENTEE's turn came, QUINN was surprised to find the man
nude. He was dressed and carried into the pen. When he was wanted in
court he was nude, but the police finally landed him before the
magistrate clothed.
MCENTEE was taken to the Flatbush Asylum a few weeks ago and adjudged
insane, but Judge CRANE refused to commit him. The prisoner persisted
to-day that he was perfectly sane. He said he had a son living at 74
Grove street, and he begged the court to communicate with the latter.
This Magistrate VOORHEES promised to do, and the case went over until
May 2.
