weight 900 pounds) was not only an all
noyance but n source of anxiety to him,
and he had predicted the manner in which
he died.
Until he died few Newarkers knew that
he was married. All knew tha he was a
rich man, and many persons believed that
his money came from illegal medical
practices. He was convicted of malpractics
in 1880 and sent to state prison for seven
years after a highly sensational trial in
which every influence was used to save
him, even to bribing jurors, which was
detected in time to prevent the success of
the attempt. At the time of his trial DIR.
Gedicke was an alderman, an influential
Republican politician and the chairman Of

by hundreds of influential citizens, failed to
save him-from imprisonment, but he was

and that they had a son about three years
old. Then came the birth of a posthumous
