Five Men and Fifty Feat of Rope Ceces-
sary to subdue sfsdman Petersen.
The family of Theodore Petersen, of
No. 81 Webster avenue, is much dis
tressed over the sudden, violent insanity
of Mr.. Petersen, which was first made
manifest yesterday. The unfortunate
man is thirty-four years old and has been
connected with Washington Market for
years, holding a trustworthy position
in produce firm. His business is of such
a nature that he is out late at night and
generally sleeps until noon each day,
Yesterday Mr.. Petersen left his sleeping
apartment at the usual time and des-
cended TO the dining room. His family did
not notice anything peculiar about him.
After lounging about the room for a
few moments he went to the piazza. Po-
liceman Brennan was stand a short dis
tance from the house. aud he noticed
Peterson gaze up down the street as il
looking for something.
Then he saw Pet ersen suddenly run
down the steps and out to the sidewalk,
where horse and wagon were standing
Peterson appeared to be frantic with
rage. He seized the wagon and shook il
violently. at the same time uttering i'm
precautions of harsh nature.
While Brennan was quietly observing
Petersen with a shout released his hold
on the wagon he had been shaking and
ran in the street making an effort to stop
the new arrival. Brennan concluded that
the time had arrived for him
to interfere and he darted
to the street for Petersen
and pushed him TO the sidewalk. The
policeman Is blessed with beautiful and
luxurious blonde beard that flows down
over his chest. Apparently realizing that
this beautiful ornament was the weak
point of the policeman. Peterson made a
grab TOR ii. He was successful.
He gave yank that threatened 1t with
humiliation. The policeman yelled and
swung his club. Down went Peterson
on all fours. Then Brennan jumped for
him. The mailman clasped his arms
about the policeman and nearly squeezed
the breath out OF him. Bren-
nan called for help and five
men ran to his assistance 1t required
their combined strength to hold the man
quiet while a sixth man got fifty feet of
clothes line and wound and bound the
mad man with il. Not until all
the rope was wound around
Petersen until he looked like a man
dressed in hammock, did the men release
MIN. Peterson was then carried to a
wagon and taken to the office of Justice
Aldridge, who committed him To the
County Jail for the examination of
County Physician Converse.

FORATTEMPFBD MURDER
A Little Girl Held For
Trial For Stabbing a
Boy.

Recorder McDonough's court in Ho-
boken was crowded with spectators this
morning. In the rear OF the courtroom
was an old woman constantly moaning
and wringing her hands. BY her side
were three little girls. pretty but bold
looking. The woman was Mrs. Dugan.
The children were her daughters.
Inside Of the railing were three little
boys aud three more little girls One of
the girls by the woman. dark haired
child with short dresses was Irene Dngan.
She was about TO be examined for an at
tempt to commit murder in the most
orthodox style. East Sunday night she
plunged long. keen bladed pen knife up
year old boy. On the Re-
corder's desk lay the weapon
with which the deed had
been done. The blade was dyed with
blood. Opposite Irene DEgan sat the
boy-accuser. He does not look TO be over
ten years old, but If what Is said is true
he Is not Sunday school boy. His name
Is Herman Sohmer and he says he il
twelve years old. The other girls and
boys inside the railing were witnesses.
Judging from the testimony addueed
either the police have the wrong person
in custody or some Of the witnesses have
no regard for an oath.
William Filpurt, a simple looking nine
teen year old youth VINO said he lived at
No % Bloomfield street, testified for the
defence. The Recorder asked him il he
had had a talk with Mrs. Dugan
and he blandly admitted that he had.
He said he was going home about half
past six o'clock on Sunday night when he
saw Irene Dugan, the prisoner, and two
other girls on the corner of Bloomfield
and First streets. Five or six little fell
lows were tormenting them. He then
saw Henrietta, Irene's older sister, and
two other girls standing in a gateway on
Bloomfield street. Irene and her COM
pauious ran to Henrietta and told her
that the boys were calling them bad
names. Then Henrietta ran across the
street and made lunge for Sohmer. She
then ran back to the other girls and told
them what she had done. She showed
them the knife dripping with blood.
Maggie McHale. eleven years old, tes-
titled that she attended theatre on Sun
day afternoon with ten-year-old Lille
Dugan- They met Irene Dugan quar-
reling with some boys at the corner of
First and Bloomfield streets. Irene went
home with her aud did not stab any one.
Herman Sohmer again positively iden-
titled Irene as the girl who stabbed him.
Herman Timens was also positive that
Irene did 1t. The Recorder decided to
commit her for trial.
Henrietta Dugan, Mary Williams and
several other girls of tender age have
acted so VIGOROUSLY about the Hoboken
ferry and the different parks in the city
that Captain Hayes had several detect
ives watching them. Captain Hayes said
he believed that the girls were of the
same class as some of the newsgirls who
hang about the Jersey City ferries.

ANOTHER CHANCE 70 KILL HER.

Kielberg's wife's Pitiful Story of Wo-
mans Love and Mans Cruelty.
At the Second District Police Court
this morning, Justice AldridRe, presid-
ing. the case of Christian Alfred Kiel-
berg was examined on charges of cruelty
to his wife Susan and threatening to kill
her on the night of January 12 Mrs.
Kielberg is the daughter of the late
Archie Mcdowell, for many years a
policeman in the Fourth district. Shortly
after marrying Kielberg. about four
years ago. she found out he was not all
she expected, and so her father, with
whom the couple lived, ordered him out
of the house.
The wife saw him from time TO time
and provided him with money and
clothes. The husband drank aud never
or very seldom worked. After old
McDowelPs death some ten months
ago, Mrs. Kielberg took her husband
back 10 her home. A child was born
which died about three months ago
hielberg has since then acted cruelty to
his wife. calling her vile names. attempt
ing to choke her, and threatening her life.
His one desire she alleges. seems to be TO
get hold of her money. Ga January ~,
he chased her around the house with
carving knife, bringing on an attack Of
nervous prostration, which threatened to
end seriously. he was arrested q few
days afterward.
This morning Mrs. Keilberg told her
story and said she feared her husband
and would have nothing further to do
with him.
When Keilberg was asked his side of
the story, he said he always worked. and
whiningly pleaded 20 be let go, saying he
loved his wife sincerely. He was released
on his own recognizance and told not to
bother his wife again.

todd PLEADS GUILTY.
A Repeater of the Spring
Election to be Sem
fenced on Friday.

William Todd. the election repeater
captured by that energetic and eloquent
old war horse. SieQfried Hammerschlag,
on April s, 1890. for illegally voting at the
charter election in which George r. Per-
kins and orestes Cleveland were candI-
dates for Mayor. pleaded guilty today in
the Court of General Sessions. He will
be sentenced on Friday.
Todd was seen By Mr.. HammerschIag
to vote in the Third precinct OF the
Fourth district. Mr.. Hammerschlag was
confident the fellow had no light TO vote,
and he watched him. He saw Todd 90
to the polling place of the Fourth pre-
cinct OF the same district and again vote
Then Mr.. Hammerschlag took him In
custody and turned him over to the
police. Todd was released on bail In the
sum Of $1,000. City Collector p. II.
O'Neill becoming his bondsman.
When Todd was wanted to plead to the
indictment found against him, he failed
to put In an appearance. After a number
Of constables had tried to find him and
reuorted they could not, District Attorney
Winfield gave the copies to Captain john
Graham to execute. He. few days later,
found Todd and arrested him. While
taking him to the police station, Mike
O'Mara. Joe Quirk and Patsey Mahoney
interfered with Graham aud a row took
place which enabled Todd to make a
break for liberty. Todd was arrested by
Roundsman Hopkins before he had run
block and the roundsman and Graham
landed their man AZ Police Headquarters
Chief Murphy ordered him taken to the
County Jall in patrol wagon and he was
incarcerated there. This was on August
10. 1890, and Todd has been in jail ever
since.
When he is sentenced on Friday 1t is
probable that the time he has passed in
Jail will be considered in his favor by
the court because he pleaded guilty.
