stepchildren Refuse TO Admit Their Mother
TO the House.
Alderman Samuel F. Kerr, of the Fifteenth
ward, yesterday afternoon heard q strange
story from the lips of Mrs. Margaret
Bracken, who entered a charge of abandon
ment against her husband, Thomas Bracken
She said that she is the second wife of her
husband, who has several large children.
Her husband owns a piece of property,
which he wanted TO sell, SO that he could
settle the proceeds on his children, and, his
wife says, cut her out of her dover. She re-
fused to sign the deed for the property, and
the sale fell through. Then he attempted to
mortgage the property for all it was worth,
intending to settle the proceeds of the mort
gage on the children and to let the property
be confscated by default.
Mrs. Bracken learned of this scheme, and
notified the MORTGAGE not to advance any
loan on the property. This angered her
husband, and he had her sent to the work
house for 80 days on a charge of drunken
ness. She served the term and returned to
her home, but last Saturday her stepchildren
put her out of the house, and have since re-
fused to allow her to return, even for her
clothes. She has no relatives to 60 to, and
has been staying with a neighbor.
The parties live on Thirty-third street.
Mr.. Bracken was arrested, and gave bail
for hearing Friday.

MRS. POTTER's DOUBLE.
Little Chicago Exponent of DeIsarte That
Greatly Resembles the Actress.

Little Chicago Exponent of Delsarte That
Greatly Resembles the Actress.
The Chicago Conservatory has a pupil
who strikingly resembles Mrs. James Brown
Potter. She is Miss Mildred Holland, a
modest little student of %, who rather dis
likes the title "Chicago's Mrs. Brown Pot
ter" Miss Hollands face is marked by
much more strength than Mrs. Pot
ter's, especially about the chin
and mouth, but the general
contour at a slight distance is wonderfully
like the fair reader who first came into fame
through "'Ostler Joe." She is not quite
so tall and lacks that sinuous symmetry of
the other.
The hair that fell to her shoulders. as she
took her place on the Conservatory plat
form the other day, framed her face in a
raven black arch, and her soft brown
eyes looked questioningly at Miss Anna
Morgan, the Western exponent of the e1-
pressiveness of Delssrte.
"Grieip' said Miss Morgan.
Instantly the brown eyes were moist with
a deep sadness, while around the mouth
lines told of suffering sacred, deep and
pervading. The contraction of the brows,
the hopeless helplessness of the whole pict-
ure, the clasped bands and drawn face,
made a picture that might have resulted
from great bereavement.
"Hatred!" commanded the instructor.
The mist of tears vanished before the
glow that came into the eyes. now shining
with tigerish expression, implacabie and
relentless in its purpose. There were lines
about the mouth, but they were hard, pitt
less and cruel. The nostrils were dilated
by great storm OF passion. Her hair hung
like kissing serpents about the head, while
two delicate pink hands were clinched so
tightly that the knuckles stood out in white
spots.
"Mirthp' said Miss Morgan.
A sunshine of dimples lit up the face,
while the brown eyes merrily sparkled and
two rows of even teeth, moist and pearly,
were disclosed.
The three pictures concluded Miss Mil
dred Hollands work and she stepped down.

SLICK DETECTIVES RECOVER 500
DIAMOND SPARKLER.

A shriner Who VIII Remember His Pitts
burg Visit-How q Confession Was
Forced From the Thief. Who Stole It
The Young Woman in Jail.
One of the slickest pieces of detective
work on record in this city is case finished
by Inspector McAleese ana Detectives
CouIson and Robinson yesterday, by the
arrest of two young women charged with
stealing a 500 diamond pin from "Shri-
ner" who came here to attend the meeting OF
the Imperial Council. The man is ii. 4.
Darrag a welI-known railroad official OF
ST. Paul. Mimi, and tine women are jean
nette HAYS and ''Sofey" Sourbeck, said to be
a daughter OF the well-known former hotel
proprietor of Ohio.
Mr.. Darragh arrived in the city last Mon
day, and in the evening paid visit to the
house of Alice Hazlett, No. 81 Second ave
nue.. After staying in the house about 3O
minutes he left and afterward visited sew
eral other houses in the lower part of the
city. While in the third house he missed
his 500 diamond stud and started back to
the first house to trace the stone. The In
mates there were indignant and denied all
knowledge of the stud. In the house was
"Sofey" Sourbeck and Jeanette Hays.

former while employed on the Ft. Wayne
road as an engineer six or seven years ago,
and boarded at the old Sourbeck House at
Alliance. The women were positive he did
not lose the diamond while with them, but
Darragh's friends reported the matter to In
spector McAleese.
Detective Coulson was engaged to work
up the case. He visited the Hazlett house
and searched all the rooms. He was sure
the diamond had been stolen by one of the
women, but there was not the slightest par
ticle of evidence to justify arrestiDg them.
He took bold chances, however, and ar
rested the Hays woman. Detective Shore
found that the woman had been arrested
once before in Wheeling for shoplifting,
and after being given a hearing, she was
taken to Jail. While ruminating as guest
in Warden Berlin's palace she sent note
to Detective Robinson. In the meantime
Miss Sourbeck was locked up in Central
station and as ''bluff" she was told that
her friend had made a confession, saying
Miss Sourbeck had taken the pin, and she
would probably be sent to the penitentiary.
The bluff worked as smoothly as anything
could and the girl got scared. She broke
down and began to cry, saying Miss Hays
had taken the pin and hid it under the
carpet on the third floor of the house. 1t
was found there by the detectives. John
MarkowiIz went bail for Miss Sourbeck and
the other woman will be sent to court.

HIS DUAL EXISTENCE
Leads to the Suicide of Charles
Suezel, of the Southside, by
TAKING PARIS GREEN AND WHISKY
His Secret Disclosed by a Life insurance
Policy.
A NIGHT OF AGONY ENDS IN DEATH.

Suicide seems to be all the fashion on the
Southside, and paris green the favorite anti
dote for domestic troubles and unfortunate
love affairs.
Yesterday Charles Suezel, Swiss, living
at 1921 Jane street, when at home, drowned
his troubles with whisky and paris green
mixed. He took too much, and fingered In
intense agony for fully 18 hours.
The cause for Suezel's rash act as far as
learned presents rather complicated state
of affairs. Mrs. Suezel cannot speak
English, but was last night interviewed
through an interpreter. She said she was
marie to Suezel about five years ago by
Rev. Gustave Lorch. The pair had three
children born to them, the youngest being 6
weeks old.
A RECREANT HUSBAND.
Suezel for some time worked in Dilworth
& Porter's spike mill. at South Fourth
street. Soon, however, his love for domes-
ticity seemed to have declined. He would
20 away for months and when he returned
would abuse his wife and then, after re-
pentance, would disappear. He had been
away for five months and only returned
Monday. The pair made up and domestic
felicity for time was in force again.
Mr.. Edwin Strunz, who lives in another
part of the house, said when Suezel came
home his wife and some of her friends "went
for him" for his actions.
On Tuesday morning at o'clock Edwin
Strun heard a noise in the yard, and on
going out found Suezel rolling on bench
and vomiting poison. In telling the story,
Mr.. Strunz said: ST told him that he had
taken too much, and if he had come to me
would have shown him better. He blus-
tered around, and told him he ought to 60
down to the river then went to bed, and
when 1 got up in the morning found him
again rolling on bench"
WOULD NOT TAKE MEDICINE.
DR.. Oscar Pringler was sent for about 9
o'clock yesterday. and applied antidotes and
left medicine, but Suezel spat it out, and
until he died, at about $50 last evening.
Just before Suezel died be handed an in
surance policy for 81 1000 in beneficiary
association to the doctor. 1t read. ITO My
Wife, Sall1e;" and here Is where the mys-
terry began, or rather the cause of the
suicide became clear. His wife's
name ia Mary. She afterward said that he
had another wife and three children, but in
her excitement at the time of the event,
would not satisfactorily answer the query
as to where the other family lived, or If she
had any proof that such was the case. 1t
was also said by Mr.. Strunz that there was
girl of IS mixed up in the family complica-
tion.
