MONSTER OR VICTIM?
Probably Hyman Silberman
Did Not Try to Burn
His Store.

Hyman Silberman, the Polish Jew VIII O
As suspected of having set fire to his store
in Grand street few nights ago, and who
has been remanded these two days By
Justice Stilsing while the police were
working certain clues. was further re-
manded this morning.
The evidence, however, adduced this
morning tended to show that Sllberm IS
family were in bed when the fire broke
out. The court after remarking tn at
Silberman was either o hideous monster
who contemplated the burning up OF his
family as well as his stock, or else an fnno-
cent man was about to dismiss the charge,
when he ascertained that an important
German witness, who had been subpGned,
had not appeared. So he remanded Sill
herman for the present
A man named Norton, who was In Kill
murray's saloon next door when the ire
broke out, testified that some one came
in and said the house was afire next door.
He rushed out of the rear door and found
Sjlberman and his wife partially dressed,
in the yard back of Silberman's store.
OpMealia, one of the tenants above the
store, said he was aroused py Norton, who
had run up stairs knocking at the doors.
He grabbed his wife and three children
and rushed down stairs. He found Silber-
man standing in the hallway wringing
his IHuuS anu CTyluR. vi, uy GILL ~
they'll all burn" O'Mealia says he
rushed into the rear of the store into the
apartments filled with smoke and felt
around for Silberman's children. No one
was there. O'Mealia incidentally testified
that Silberman was quarrelsome ne1gh-
bor,and three complaints had been lodged
by other tenants asking the owner of the
building to compel him to move out.
Silberman, according to O'Mealia's story,
was doing poor business at the place.
He asked the Court to excuse him, as he
had to hustle for something for his family
to eat, as the entire family was destitute
of clothing and food.
Counsellor Henry Puster produced Sill
bermans eldest boy, who testified that he
was grabbed by the arm by some one
and led terror stricken into the street be-
fore he realized the place was affre. He
had scarcely any clothing upon him. The
clothes he wore in court had been fur
nished by Susritzky, with whom the
family took refuge after the fire. He saw
the baby thrown through window after
the fire broke out.
The prisoner, n tall raw-boned Hebrew.
with scant hair but struggling growth
of white whiskers. stated that he was
aroused by a rap on his window and
some one crying 'firev' As he opened q
door leading into the store smoke came
rushing through and blinded him. He
grabbed his trousers and shoes and child
lying on a lounge. His wife, who was
awakened, also rushed out. He thought
his boy and the baby were still inside.
He had occupied the store about two
months, and moved there from Bay
street.

A BOARDING HOUSE ROW.

In Retaliation for False Charges Young
Man Has q Pretty Girl Arrested.
Justice Douglass yesterday dismissed
the charge Of entering and larceny pre-
ferred some days ago by Mrs Maggie
Fallner, of No 23s Grand street. against
one of her boarders, Lawrence Powers.
Powers is still held on the charge Of as
sault and battery.
AS soon as Powers realized that he was
to answer both charges he immediately
applied to Justice Langden to have a
warrant issued for the arrest of Miss
Mary Peters. Mrs. Falluer's stepdaugh-
ter. on charge Of assault and battery
The story as at present developed is not
uninteresting Powers is somewhat
unsophisticated Irish lad of twenty or
thereabouts. Miss Peters, the step
daughter, is prepossessing young
woman, who, according TO Powers story,
has elected the admiration of several
male boarders. 1t appears that to Pow
ers, though he himself modestly disclaims
1t, Miss Peters made herself agreeable to
an extent that aroused the jealousy of his
fellow boarders. A few days ago Mrs.
Fallner gave Powers notice to leave her
house Immediately.
She says Powers got mad ana assaulted
her. Shortly after this episode silver
watch. with heavy gold chain, some
Powers coat pocket and stuffed into the
lining of his coat sleeve. Mrs. Fallner
had Powers arrested on the two charges
Of assault and battery and entering and
larceny. Powers retaliated by appearing
before Justice George Langdon and hav-
ing Miss Peters arrested on a charge of
assault and battery, which he says took
place after the fuss between him and
Mrs. Fallner. Miss Peters waived exam
ination.
Powers processes entire innocence of
the larceny and maintains that somebody
put the things in his coat pockets to put
up job on him. Both Justices Douglass
and Langdon, after mature considera-
tion and a strict cross examination of
Mrs. Fallncr and Miss Peters, were in
clined to the opinion that Powers sur
misses were correct, and Justice Douglass
thereupon dismissed the charge of lar
ceny. In the direct examination of Mrs
Fallner and Miss Peters both declared
that Powers left Immediately after the
assault to draw $l2 out Of bank which
Mrs. Fallner demanded as the amount
due her. On cross-examination both
denied that he left the room. Powers
had previously declared that he did go
out. and it was while he was out the
things were put into his pockets.
