day she was turned out Of her rooms in building owned
by Deputy Controller Richard A. StOrrs. Mr. Miller

aud was sent TO the Lunatic Asylum Wards Island
At this his adventures in the German revolution
were related, and substantiated by numerous
letters and adavis ia German, which are now In the

plead her case in court and when she returned she
found her household goods on the sidewalk.
