Delnoce was then, living at 2l64 Fifth
venue. She has since moved to Ga East
One Hundred and Thirtv-nrst street.
Delnoce's mother is living In Fleetwood
avenue at One Hundred and Sixty-tifth
street, and two OF his brothers are also
taken the part, Of his wife against her
husband. Much of the double life the
man was leading was we'll known to
order that she would not worry any
more than was necessary. Her son, ii
Is said. also. was fully aware of his
fathers conduct.
although Delnoce has for three years,
at least. been living OFF and on with the
woman, who was arrested with him, he
also visited his family. He kept CON
tinually telling them that he was out OF
work that he was III. and could not live
much longer, He always refused to tell
them where he was living or ANYTHING
about himself. He never asked to con-
tribute any money to the household cX-
pcnses, nor was he asked to. He gener-
ally remained n few minutes at "A time.
When seen in Raymond Street jail this
morning Delnoce refused TO saw anv-
thing about himself. save that the wo-
man who had been arrested with him
Is his wife. lie denied that she was any
relative OF the Acker family. of Acker,
Merrill x Condit, although Chief Drum
mond saws she Is IA sister Of Mr.. Acker's
wife. Mr. .Acker denied this to an
Evening World' reporter. Delnoce
says his father died many years ago,
and that his mother, who is wealthy,
married again. This is not so. She Is
Il widow. lie expects his mother to GO
on his bond.
Tho specific charge against the pair
is of counterfeiting the Argentine cur
roncy. Several plates and counterfritS
Of the value of $1,000. 90 were found
when the officers raided the place.
While in Argentine Delnoce engraved
the plates for the currency. and also
learned the secret Of preparing the
paper.
