A Sun reporter called at Mr. Isaac Pser's
residence In Division street and inquired about

he's come back" said Mr.. Piser and further
inquiries brought out the following narrative:
Marx Piser. tailor by trnde and
a quiet. mild-tempered man. was married in
England eight or nine years ago to a very
youthful Irish girl. He was OF jewish faith
and she Roman Catholic; he about 81 years OF
age and she about is. There was no
change In the religious profession Of the
wife at the time OF the marriage.
but after several years. Marx Piser made up
his mind 70 come TO New York, and then his
quenee. He had relatives living here. and
feared that his association with them might
prove unpleasant unless his wife consented to
adopt the Jewish faith. This she agreed to do.
and they came TO this city. This was four or
hve years ago. The wife changed her creed,
and Tor two years or more they lived pleasantly

Her next appearance was on Monday night.
In regard TO that Mr.. Piser said: Mr.. Levy
came here this morning and told me that the
night before as my brother was about to enter
the house, his wife and three strange men met
him. and his wife begged him 10 20 with her.
He refused. saying that he would sooner die on
the spot. Then she became violent and threat
ening. and insisted that he should not enter
the house. Finally. the men who were
with her surrounded him and took
him away, evidently against his will.
He did not come back again. and nothing
had been heard OF him since then. When
heard that was afraid that he had come to
HARM because / know that Sarah-thats his
wife's name-has a very violent temper.
therefore beRged Mr.: Levy TO 20 with me to
Superintendent Walling.
= But this afternoon NV brother turned up
again. He walked IN here, and told me what
had happened. He said there was only one
man with hts wife and this man soon left them.
man and wife. My brother says that his wife
begged, threatened and promised in turn. but
that he refused 10 live with her again since she
had so often abused her rights as a wife and
he had no faith in any more OF her promises.
He walked away from her but she refused TO
leave him. following him about wherever he
went. They walked the streets all night. and
even until o'clock this morning. Finally. her
continued entreaties and promises prevailed.
He consented once more 10 try to live peaceably
with her as man and wife should and they
have now determined to take rooms together.
But have no confidence that they will stay to-
gether a month. II is always so when such
marriages take place. II people want to be
happy. let every one marry his own"
Neighbors Of Marx Piser say that his wife is
young and handsome woman. but that she
has a very violent temper The language some
times used by her townrd her husband is very
trying. according to their description. and one
night recently she Is said 10 have picked up u
knife and threatened to stab him.
