A Hot CHASE AFTER A HUSBAND

A Hot CHASE AFTER a HUSBAND
Albert Simmons, an electrician, who
lives in west Thirty-fifth street, had a
souabble with his wife in the street
while they were out walking Satur-
dav afternoon, and the couples antics
caused great amusement and some ex-
element to those that saw them. Sim
mons is 40 years old. His wife is ten
wears Younger. They were walking
in First avenue near Thirty-third street
when their excited talking first at
tracted attention. Suddenly Simmons
dashed down Twenty-eighth street to-
ward the river, shouting to his wife,
who followed him: CPL settle this.
I'll 90 drown myself!'
BY this time the crowd of persons
who were taking their half hoiidy on
the avenue had become interested, and
followed close to his heels, wild with
the anticipation of seeing the man
Jump off the dock.
They had no intention OF stopping the
fun, but merely wished to be In at the
finish. When he reached the pier,
however, two or three men who were
at work seized Simmons before he could
carry out his threat. AS he stood on
the edge of the dock, held by three
brawney longshoremen, policeman
came along and asked him why
ne had attempted suicide. For
reply Simmons gave him q SLY wink
and WHISPERED: "Sh-I was only fool
ing the old woman" The policeman
told the couple to behave themselves
and go home, and Simmons and his
wife turned to obey, but in a moment
the man dashed away again.
Swerving 10 one side, he suddenly
leaped over fence and disappeared
He took short cut to o saloon, and
entered it just in time for his wife to
catch glimpse of his coat tails as he
rassed through the screen door.
Mrs. Simmons, followed by crowd,
was close at his heels. Simmons was
nowhere 10 be seen when she ran into
tie saloon, but she promptly Owed into
the cellar, which was filled with beer
kegs and empty bottles. AS she ran
down the stairs the fleeing husband was
climbing through the trap door, which
he had butted open with his head. He
ran toward Second avenue, and was in
a fair way to make good his escape
from his wife when policeman stol-
ped him. A moment later Mrs. Sim
mons came running up, and she, too,
was placed under arrest. They were
placed in separate cells as precaution-
airy measure.
When arraigned in the police court
Mrs. Simmons told Justice McSlahon
that her husband had Sc which she
wanted to take from him for household
uses. Hc refused to allow her to be-
come family banker, and she chased
him. She was discharged. Simmons
was sent up for ten days.
