bands remonstrances.

home and. going to his sisters house,
stayed there until his death the follow
ing evening. Just before he died Mrs.
Deutcher called and demanded that she
be allowed to see her husband. She was
admitted to the room, where he was
lying on lounge. Mrs. Bennett the
sister. says as soon as Deutcher saw his
wife he raised himself on his arm and
pointing at her, exclaimed: II am go-
Ing to die of n broken heart. and you
are the cause OF II"
Deutcher was employed on Liberty
street, this city, and Is said to have been
very Industrious. He had three chill
dren. the eldest n boy OF thirteen years.
