Hackman Pallmann Drives His
Charge to a Police Station.
Says the Woman's Companion Drew
Razor and Escaped.

An excited cabman named Emil Pail
mann, living at 4l3 West Thirty ninth

a razor and let him 40 out of my

The woman, who proved to be a beau
tiful albino, about twenty-five years
old, was carried into the station-housc

drunk. She described herself as Lizzie
Hess, OF $50 West Thirty ninth street.
She refused to tell the name of her de-
serter.
BY order of the Sergeant a complaint
of intoNicltion was made against her.
She looked crestfallen when arraigned
before Justice Meade at the Sorkville
Court at o'clock, and had nothing to
say for herself. The Judge fined her 81,
and as she did not have the money she
was led into the prison.

WEARIED OF MARRIED LIFE.
Albert Hertz Says His Wife Was

Albert Hertz, of 2s6 East Houston
street, has wearled of married life and
is making efforts to regain the indie
pendence of bachelorhood. He has en-
gagged a lawyer to bring suit in the
Supreme Court for divorce, but al
though the summons and complaint are
already drawn up, his wife, Ernestine
Loos Hertz, has 80 far succeeded in
GLIDING their service.

months after his marriage, which took
The first link in this alleged chain of

young man who had courted krnestine
before marriage. Hertz says that when

But Hertz's love was only dormant,

He traced her, he says, to a dancing
hall next door to Silver Dollar Smith S

When Hertz entered the place one
night he saw his wife, he says, "trip

head resting placidiy on the shoulder

riveted upon the eyes Of her partner in

complaint, that she did not notice for

she did awake to the consciousness OF

Hertz says that his wife's alleged

FOR PERJURY NOW.
Arnold Will Have His Self-Styled
Wife Arrested Again.
She Secures a Reduction Of Bail In
the Threatening Letter Case.
Lawyer Hummel Says She Is a
Cuban's Discarded Mistress.

Annie Fisher, the woman whom the
wealthy manufacturer, Nathan Arnold,
caused to be arrested for sending him
threatening letters, won a victory this
morning by having her bal! reduced
by Justice Beach In the Supreme Court
from 5000 to $1,000.
The smile that came to her face when
Justice Beach announced his decision
quickly gave way to a frown. however,
when Lawyer Abe Hummel stated that
his client, Mr.. Arnold, would now have
her arrested on a charge Of perjury.
Arnold Is mlld-mannered man OF
about thirty years, and a member of
the firm Of D. II. Arnold & Co., of Is
West Houston street. Annie Fisher is u
few years his senior. and may have been
beautiful at one time. She Ia now very
heshy, and the deep lines in her face
and the dishevelled way in which she
wears her hair give her an unprepossess-
ing appearance.
She met Arnold about eleven years
ago, when he was youth just out of
school They had been intimate since
both admit, Arnold tired of her.
Then there. was a settlement, and
Arnold says he gave her $1,000 He al
leges that she in return made an affi-
him she had lived as wife with the
son of wealthy Cuban planter, had
been sent to. New York by her lovers
father, and had then met Arnold and
lived with him, but had never regarded
him as her husband.
A short time ago, however. the woman
commenced a suit for separation from
Arnold, and In an affidavit claimed
that he was her common-law husband.
1t Is on account of these alleged con-
Trajectory affidavits that the charge Of
perjury Ia to be made.
in ordering reduction of bail on the
charges of sending threatening letters,
Justice Beach said that the amount as
fixed by Police Justice Grady yesterday,
virtually commenced punishment before
there had been an examination.
The charges Of sending threatening let.
tiers will come up before Justice Grady
tomorrow.
Lawyer Moss stated this afternoon
that the charge of perjury would not be
made until tomorrow. H..
COUNSEL for the Fisher woman sta teal
that she would during the day deposit
with the City Chamberlain, a sufficient
sum to secure her release. :
