Wit against her husband, Emil
Schropf, charging him with making
threats to take her life. He was
arraigned before Justice Adam this
morning to be placed under a peace
bond, but the case was dismissed,
as there was not sufficient evidence
to warrant prosecution. The judge
reprimanded the husband and told
him not to modest his wife any
more; that if he could not live
with her, to "split blankets"
and live apart. They have not
lived together for the past two
months and the husband accuses
her of deVOting her love and afTec-
ton on member Of the Twenty

threats to take her life. She is a

mother, where the wife now lives.
