weisa nys tho Landlord Got Them to Annoy
Him In Order 10 Get Hin Out-He's Going.
Three generations OF the family of Ehrenberg
were represented among the prisoners III the
Harlem Court yesterday. Tho Oldest was Ber~
nard. 7s years old. and the youngest was Abram.
Jr., aged o months, whose only offence consisted
OF adding to the general confusion Of a tenement
house row by yelling vociferously while the
fight was in progress. Tho prisoners occupy
three floors in the tenement at 217o Second
avenue. Joseph Weiss. a butcher. is
In between the branches OF the Ehrenherg family.
The house is owned by DR.. Oncnmeyer, who is
tired Of Weiss as a tenant. Weiss says that
O%ncnmeyer has engaged the Ehrenbergs to
make his life miserable in order to get him out
without the expense OF dispossess proceedings.
The Weisses and the Ehrenbergs, Of whom
there are eight, have been quarrelling for a
month. At 0 O'Clock Friday night the mascu-
line division OF the Ehrenberg family invaded
Weiss's apartments and assaulted the Wcissos
with dire threats. Weiss is an ablo-bodied
butcher. and when he got tired Of listening to
the abuse OF his tormentors he pitched in and
thrashed them. He had driven them all into
the hall and the more peaceable tenants were
| yelling murder out OF the windows when Police
man Kupfrian and three others invaded tho
house. separated the combatants. and drove
them into their respective apartments with
their clubs. They nade no arrests. An
hour later tho fight was In prog
ress again. The cries OF the non:com.
batants in the house had collected q crowd OF
$50 people on the outside. and Policeman kup.
frian telephoned for tho reserves. Nine men
came along In the patrol wagon. They found
Weiss holding his own very well against the en-.
tire tribe OF the Ehrcnbergs. Morris and A BRAN
Of the second generation OF Ehrcnbergs had mis-
taken each other for one Of the enemy and were
pummelling each other industrinusly. The
women were screaming and pulling zach Others
hair. and Bernard. the head OF the tribe. had
suspended hostilitics and was praying to the
God OF Israel to bring destruction upon the
Weisses and the police.
In the general confusion Weiss had caught q
breathing spell. The contestants were bundled
into the patrol wagon and fought all tho way Il
the station. Morris's wife, Esther. was founC
to DO cut and bruised and had to be sent to tn,
Harlem Hospital. Gussie, the wife OF Abram
might have escaped arrest on account of Abram
Jr, the baby, but she insisted that che woulC
