NEW YORK, Aug. 1e.-Yesterday was
pretty "dry" day. but q shade pleasanter
for the thirsty who have learned the
scheme for securing drinks behind doors
apparently closed. Few liquor dealers
took advantage Of the privilege Of keeping
their places open, which has lately been
dscreed to bs legal, provided liquors are
not given away or sold. Steve Brodie had

law, but he was promptly discharged by
Magistrate Cornell Afterward he was
arrested twice, but each time he was re-
leased and resumed business.

HIS WAS A DOUBLE LIFE.
Queer Matrimonial Rotations of Harry
Francisco Epyealed.

Queer Matrimonial Relations of Harry
Francisco Revealed.
CHICAGO, Jan. AFTER two years the
history of Harry Francisco is uncovered
through a suit filed hero for an account
ing of his estate, and it shows that his
mysterious suicide was caused by fear of
exposure of his double life. The suit is
brought by his first wife to recover her
dover in $4,000 worth of real estate which
he owned here and in other places.
The deposit ons taken show that on
June Z, 1862, Jennie Carlton was married
to Francisco in Charlton, n. Y, by the
Rev. j. Il. Craig. Until 1882 they lived
happily together. "Zay" Francisco, as he
was called, held different positions, prin-
cipally on railroads, in the vicinity of Gin
cinnati. Finally he went to South Nor
walk, Conn, where he ran the Mahake-
more hotel. In 1882 he met with reverses
and left his wifi, to face the situation
alone, telling her he was going to New
York. 1t was six years before she saw
him again.
After time she received letters from
him, saying he was going west to make a
home for her and sent money to her.
About that time she went to live with her
daughter, who is married to Harry A.
Groesbeck, a wealthy member of tho
stock exchange, who lives in New York.
In 1888 Francisco visited his wife, and
they parted amicably. While away from
her he was living in Cincinnati, where
he became infatuated with the beautiful
wife of w. G.. Holcomb, n prominent
dentist there. DR.. Holcomb soon pro-
cured a divorce from her and Francisco
married her, saying that his first wife was
dead.
About that time Francisco wrote to his
first wife, saying he was going to Coron-
ado, Cal, but instead came to Chicago
with Alice (his secoud wlfe), and lived
here until his death. He soon built up a
lucrative real estate business and was
we'll liked by all. In 1891 Mrs. Groesbock,
his daughter, was told that he was living
here in luxury with another wife and
wrote to him. She received an answer
that quoted her suspicious. Next she
| heard that he was dead. She then came
| here and for the first time Alice learned
| the truth.
After Francisco's death Alice took out
| letters of administration and was allowed
| n widows dover of $1,000. Friends of
Francisco wondered when they learned he
had transferred all of his property before
| his death and all the deeds were signed
| by Alice as his wife. Soon after his death
| his son-in-law como here. A move will be
made to open the estate and compel an
| accounting. Seven months after Fran
| cisco's death Alice Peck-Holcomb-F ram
cisco was married to A. l.. Periolat. and
| is now living here. Their present home,
| winch is IN her name, Is stId To be a part
| of Francisco's property, as is also a valu'
| able piece in Minneapolis, which also
| stands IN her name.
