to Work.

Morris Girple. forty years old, OF ~
Chrystie street, died at Gouverneur Hos
pital at an early hour this morning as n
result OF having taken poison at his
home a few hours previous with suicidal
intent.
The mans death reveals a terrible
story Of cruelty and ill-treatment, when
the man has heaped upon his poor
wife and four children for years. HIS
wife's refusal to stand 1t any longer
and threat to have him arrested was
the. cause of the mans suicide.
Cripple came from Russia eighteen
years ago He was then industrious, and
soon became an expert salesman. Eleven
years ago he married, and Immediately
afterwards he began to ill-treat his wire;
He became an inveterate gambler. and all
his earnings were spent at the gaming
table.
Shortly after his marriage he lost his
position and then made his wife go out
and hunt for work. From that time he
refused to work. and forced his VIE 10
work to support him and the family:
Added to this he was abusive, and
beat his wife in n brutal manner. ON
several occasions neghbors have had to

of the money his wife earned by scrub
bling.
AT last II became so bad that the poor
woman could stand II no longer. She
made known her intention of leaving
him last Thursday, whereupon Gipplt
flew into rage and beat her in a
frightful manner. She then procured a
summons in the Essex Market Police
Court but when her husband discovered
this he kept out OF the road.
About O'Clock last night he returned
home In sullen mood and immcdil tely
began abusing his wife. She asked hin
to leave, whereupon he grabbed "A tablt
knife and chased her out OF the house
He then began breaking up the furniture
and acting In such violent manner tina
A policeman was summoned, but Gippl,
quieted down. and the officer did no
arrest him.
About II o'clock he again began t,
get boisterous, and again chased hi
wife out of the house. He then close,

aid they broke open the door, and there

In tine saloon at 43 Lorimer street. con-
Quoted by Constantine Hapst.
Becker was in the saloon last night
with a number of friends He boasted
Of his ability as high kicker and
some of his friends derided his claimed
prowess. An argument ensued. and 1t
was finally decided that Becker should
attempt to kick one of the globes in
the chandelier. II he succeeded In do
ing SO, his friend would have to treat.
All this time Hapst was nodding be-
cleared for Becker the saloon Keeper
awoke and objected. The crowd laughed
at him, and Becker took q short run and
made a kick at the chandelier.
Nobody could deny that Becker won
the bet. He struck the chandelier with
his right foot, but It got entangled with
the brass work. and he hung a minute
while his friends laughed at him.
Then the chandelier gave way and
came down with crash, while the
globes flew all about the room.
Hapst caught Becker as he was run
ming away and held him until a police
man appeared and took him in charge.
The saloon keeper said in court to-day

More Pookmakers to Be Arrested
by De Lacy's Men.
Later the Race Horses at the Track
May Be Seized.
They Are Classed as Implements
in the Lottery"

Peter De Lacy and Lawyer Abe Hum
mel were closeted In the latters office
for more than an hour this morning dis
cussing the plans for further movement
in their fight against the Brooklyn
Jockey Club.
When asked what he intended doing
at Gravesend this afternoon, De Lacy
said: II am not prepared to answer
that question nov, but can assure you
that there will be some more fun. A good
general never tells his plans in advance.
1t will not be my fault however, II the
matter Is not brought to an issue very
soon."
DE Lacy has beer advised by his coun-
sci, It IL said, that there is no good legal
reason why the horses that run at the
Gravesend track should not be seized. II
that move is necessary to stop racing.
II De Lacy's contention that the Ives
Pool law Is unconstitutional Is correct
then horses can be classed as "imple-
ments' In the lottery that De Lacy al
leges IL being conducted by Dwyer et al.
and are therefore Liable to seizure by the
Sheriff just as would be the parapher-
relia of the Louisiana lottery, II Race
track Owner John A. Morris moved the
plant Of his huge gambling concern here.
Whether this step will be taken by De
Lacy later remains to be seen, but
Lawyer Hummel says that 1t will not be
carried out for the present. The latter
was little more talkatiye than DE
Lacy. He said: I'VE will be on hand
at the race track again to-day and will
proceed as usual to carry out the pro-
gramme we began yesterday In this case.
II we are. right in our Interpretation of
the law then ,a. we want things pushed to
"As fast as those arrested are brought
up for examination we will present the
cases to the Grand Jury"
When asked II he would ask the
Sheriff to seizn any Of the horses at
Gravesend to-day. Mr.. Hummel replied
mo. we don't wish to be unnecessarily
unpleasant in this matter, and while
such a step Is certainly legal, we Will
waive that point. at least for the
present. l think our movements to-day
day. and much OF our proceedings will
be confined to the betting ring. | will
not say exactly what we will do. bu,
rest assured we will be there at the
