Her Husband.
SHUT UP in AN ASYLUM.
Taken to Morris Plains on Illegally
Obtained Certificates, and Kept
There a Month.

A very curious story came to light In
the Prosecutors office yesterday. Mrs.
M. Beach, who lives at No. 80 Washing
ton street, Hoboken, accompanied BY h er
father. whose name has not been made
known, called upon the District Attorney
to tell it.
''The husband Of Mrs. Beach. . said her
rather, is an employe Of the Delaware,
Lackawanna & Western Railroad, and d
year ago he concluded that he wanted to
get rid Of his wife. To do this he either
made physician guilty Of conspiracy, or
else hoodwinked him outrageously. He
called on this doctor one day and asked
him to sign certificate in lunacy. The
physician declined to do this because he
had never seen the woman
Beach showed him that his family ply
sician, reputable doctor. had signed the
document, and then the ouher doctor
signed it, too.
AFTER he secured the document Beach
pressed his wife to take
the invitation with pleasure, and thetwo
apparently enjoyed themselves until the
station next to Morrfstown was reached.
Here Mrs. Beach got glance at the
ticket. 1t was marked Morris Plains
Why thought we were going to-
Morristown, she remarked.
So we are, but we will go to Morris
Plains first. he replied
When they reached the station, a clos-
ed carriage was in waiting. Mrs. Beacn
before she knew where She was, was
thrust into it and the driver whipped up
his horse to gallop. Mrs. Beach said
they went so fast she feared to struggle
or cry eut.''
Aweek later on. the father Of the women
learned where she was. and at once in
stituted such vigorous proceedings that
within month she was released.
District Attorney WinVald informed
Mrs. Beach that he would on the com
plaint of herself or her father present the
case to the Grand jury. He denounced
the action of Dr. Simon as being most;

Senator Werts in replying stated that
the chance of the worker reviewing the
envelope was not liable to happen once in
thousand times, but he proposed to be
prepared for that once. No system could
be devised, he said, which human ingenu-
ity could not cfrcumvent, and he pro-
posed to reduce that chance to the mini
mum. The amendments were adopted.
The race track bill came up and the
amendment legalizing bookmaking was
adopted. The bill then passed with three
dissenting votes, Senators Martin, Gard
ner and Roe. The measure is practically
dead and the amendments were the
method by which it was slain. The main
object for which the bill was introduced,
the prohibition of winter racing, was
to have accomplished in the Senate is to
legalize bookmaking. 1t will have to go
back to the House to have the amend
ments concurred In and there it will stay.
Mr.. Kalisch, who fathered the bill
through all the attacks made upon 1t in
the House, hes abandoned 1t, but he will
not let the Assembly agree to the Senate
amendments.

would not have relished if he had heard

the Senate providing that If any

courts for the right to place them there.
