THEY WERE POOR AND NEEDY.

Mrs. Hannah Brumback, seventy.
seven years old, OF IA 1-2 North Fifth
street, Williamsburg, Is dying In st.
GATHERINGS Hospital to-day. She was
very badly burned early this morning,
and the indications are that she had at
tempted to end her life.
Mrs. Brumback lived at the address
given with her blind husband, who Ii
over eighty-five years old. They were
in very poor circumstances. and 1t was
n mystery to their neighbors how they
got along.
Shortly before o'clock this morning
Mr.. Brumback was aroused by his
wife's screams. He called to her, but
received no answer, and then the old
man partially dressed himself and felt
his way to the door. and shouted for
some one to tell him what had become
Of his wife.
There were plenty who could tell him,
but would not, for only few feet away
from the sightless Old man lay his wife,
burned beyond recognition.
She had come running out into the
street few moments before with her
clothes all ablaze and shrieking for help.
Half dozen men on their way to work
took on their coats, wrapped them
around her and extingIished the flames,
but not before she had received injuries
that will prove fatal She was taken
to st. Cthertne's Hospital, and the sis
tiers there say that there Is no hope for
her recovery.
Policeman James Matthews, who ar
rived shortly after the affair happened,
learned enough to convince him that
Mrs. Brumback attempted to end her
own life. Mr.. Brumback says that OF
late she had frequently talked OF conn.,
uniting suicide, and when asked why.
sh should have chosen such a horrible
mode of death, he shrugged his shoulders
and said bitterly:
I'VE are too poor to afford to buy
poison"
Another point that tends to support
the suicide theory is that there was no
fire In the house, and 1t is hard to see
how her clothing could have got ablase
accidentally.
Since her removal to the hospital the
old woman has been In such horrible
agony that II has been found impossible
to get any statement from her.
