FIVE CLAIMED THE BODY.
Alleged Wives OF a Dead Man Want
the 1000 He Left.

CHICAGO, Sept. 2s. - Five women
fighting for the body of a man. whom
each claimed as her husband, was a
spectacle presented at an undertaking
establishment N this city. The corpse
was that of Thomas Holbrook. a negro.
who was killed Wednesday morning by
Carrie Stewart.
Holbrook, who was twenty-six years
of age, had quarrelled with the woman
and she shot HIM. Her detention at the
jail on charge of murder. was the
only thing that prevented her beng at
the undertakers with the other hve
women, to claim Holbrook's body as
that Of her husband.
The police say the dead man was
not married to any one of the six, and
the only reason they claim him as n
husband is to get possession Of about
81, 600 he was worth.
While writs of attachment and search
warrants for the body were being served
on Undertaken Rolston the corpse was
on its way to Oakwood Cemetery. Coro-
ner McIale had given Mr.. Rolston per-
IN sslon to bury the body.
When the lawyers and alleged be.
reaved widows learned how they had
been outwitted by the undertaken they
became demons'rative, and the police
had to be called.
One of the women who claimed the
body was white.

TYPEWRITER IN TROUBLE.
Mrs. Montgomery says She Works
for Parkhurst and Terry.

Mrs. Mary Montgomery, a refined.
we.l-dressei woman. who gave her age
as twenty-eight, and said she lives at
S9s Lexington avenue, was discharged
in iorkvllle Court this morning. Po-
liceman Thomas w. Roe had her in
court. The woman claimed to be a
typewriter In the Office of Commissioner
OF Accounts Terry. and said she was
employed also by the Parkhurst Society
to get evidence OF excise violations.
The officer said he found her at $50
o'clock last night leaning against a
lamp-post at Fifty-first street and Lex
ington avenue apparently drunk. He
took her to the Lexington avenue ad.
dress. On reaching the stoop. the hall
door was suddenly thrown open by a
man, who said:
Take her away. She does not be-
long here"
In court she was recognized as having
appeared there two months ago when
she charged her husband with abandon
ment. She said she had been drugged
In a Second avenue saloon where she
took glass OF sherry. She alleged
somo men insulted her there and she
escaped.
Comm ssioner Terry declares there is
no such person employed in the office
of the Commissioners of Accounts. In
fact, there are no women emp.oyeI
there and he has none in his private
office. He does not know, and never
heard of Mrs. Mary Montgomery.

He bore his Illness with patience. COM

only regretted the loss of time which

He could not hold pen. so he asked

he was laid up, and could not go TO

Ing her to come to Hardy street instead.
When she arrived. Mrs. Drew pointed
