NEAR TO DEATH
Four Mems Murderous As
sault on Patrick Cruden
in the Early Morn
ing Hours.

Patrick Cruden, of No. 234 Monticello
avenue. was murderously assaulted early
Sunday morning and this morning it was
said that his condition is critical The
assault took place in front of Crudens S
home. From what can be learned, four
men jumped on Cruden and beat him In
to insensibility. One OF the men hit him
with blunt instrument on the bridge of
the nose. crushing that organ. Crudens
teeth were knocked out, and his head
and body We're covered with cuts and
bruises.
The assault took place about one o'clock
and judging from the time that Cruden
staggered into his house covered with
blood, he must have been lying in the
street unconscious for almost two hours.
DR.. Wallace Pyle, who is attending Cru
den, said that his wounds are serious.
The police have made no arrests in con-
nection with the case. Cruden does not
know who the men were, and the police
have no clues. 1t is Believed that the
men wha assaulted Cruden followed him
from a saloon on Monticello avenue for
the purpose of robbing him. Mrs. Cruden
said this morning that she did not believe
her husband had been robbed.

TO WIDEN MONTGOMERY ST.
Problem Which Now Keeps
Engineer Van Keuren
Awake Nights.

Chief Engineer Van Keuren is just now
spending great deal of time on the
problem How to Widen Montgomery
Street"
The solution Is not so easy as might be
thought. The plan is to widen the street
from Hudson street to Jersey avenue.
The traffic on that street has so in
creased in the last few years that the
accommodations are inadequate for truck
ing. The street could be widened suffi-
ciently, says Chief Engineer Van Keuren,
If three feet were taken away from each
sidewalk. This would necessitate the re-
moving of all stoops and the doing away
with front yards. Then the stoops would
have to be built inside the houses.
The whole task could be done in two
months at a cost of $780, 600 or less. It Is
estimated that the work below Warren
street will cost $4,000. There would be
no drainage to property and all the work
would be paid for by the city, SO that the
property owners would have their inter-
ests improved at no cost. Nothing would
be done with the houses between Jersey
avenue and Barrow street. opposite Van

FIRST CHOIR BRIDE DIES
Mrs. Emma GIanzman, First of
Zion Church Singers to
We'd, Passes Away.


The choir and members of the Zion
lutheran Church, Boulevard and McAdoo
avenue, are plunged in corrow over the
sudden death of Mrs Emma Glanznan n,
the FIRST bride of that choir Mrs Glanz-
Death came yesterday afternoon at four
o'clock. and was due to Bright's disease.
Mrs. Chairman had only been i'll since
Monday Of last week. Her condition be-
came serious toward the latter part of
the week, and Saturday she lapsed into
Inconsistencies She regained conscious
ness several moments before death took
her, and after speaking a few words to
her attendants, expired in the arms of
her husband
The news of the death of the first bride
of the church choir came as shock to
all her friends. Since that first wedding,
which the Rev. William Sanft performed
at the home of Mr. and Mrs Otto Weisz-
Hamburger in New York last June, FIVE
other couples from the choir have been
married by Pastor Sanft. The last couple
was Miss Caroline Lutz and Mr.. John
Nick, who were married Wednesday at
the home of the brides parents in Dam
forth avenue
It was just ten months to day since
Miss Hamburger was married to Mr.
Frederick Glanznian Their married life
was ever 50 happy. and the husband of
SO short a period is almost distracted.
Arrangements have been made for the
funeral, which will be held Wednesday
afternoon al two o clock from the house,
No. GIG Ocean avenue. The Rev. William
Sanft will conduct the services, and the
choir of the church of which Mrs. CLAM
man was member, will take part. It
has been arranged to have all the newly
welded bridegrooms as pail bearers. In
terment will be made in New York Bay
Cemetery. The choir has decided to at
tend the funeral in a body, and to have
several floral offerings prepared for their
late associate
The Rev. Mr. Sanft announced the death
of Mrs. Chairman at the services last
evening. and there was scarcely a dry
eye in the congregation. The members of
the choir were so shocked that the mus
ical programme suffered greatly. None
of the members could take part in the
services.
Mrs. GIanzman was pretty girl, and
well liked by all her friends. She was
twenty-five years old,

CAN'T SEE HER CHILDREN
Vice Chancellor Denies Mrs.
Ouiset's Application.

Three pretty little girls played about the
Court of Chaneery this morning and did
much to relax the severity and dignity Of
that fountainhead of justice. They were
the daughters of Emile C. Euyrard, of
West Hoboken, and Mrs. Louise c. Outset,
of New York. They were in court with
their father and nurse to answer writ
of habeas corpus which their mother had
taken out to gain possession of them.
About eight years ago Celeste Mae was
a very pretty French girl, sixteen years
old. when she met Emile Euvrard, a we'll
to-do manufacturer of artificial flowers.
She was fattered by his attentions and
for seven years she lived with him as his
wife, during which time the three pretty
little girls. were born.
In October, 1901, the young woman be-
came i'll and expressed a desire 10 go back
to France Euvrard agreed to give her
$3.50 for the expenses of the trip and, as
the woman claims, to take care Of the
children while she was away, He had her
sign a paper which. she says. he told her
merely made the children his heiresses
and provided that she could come and see
them whenever she wished.
Instead of going to France, Celeste went
to New York where she married a French
man named Louis c. Outset and went to
housekeeping with him at No. 81 West
Eighth street After while she went
over to West Hobolzen to see her children
and was refused access to them. She then
learned that the paper which she signed
was formal adoption OF the children by
Eurrard, a REIMBURSEMENT of her part Of
all claim to them.
Then she sued out writ of habeas COZ
pus for the possession of the children,
claiming that as she was the mother she
was entitled to them,
Mrs Outset did not appear in court this
morning. The children, extensively
dressed and in charge of nurse, attracs-
ed much attention from the lawyers pres
ent. Douglas Story. counsel for Mrs.
Outset, asked Vice Chancellor Stevenson
for an order giving him permission to see
the children. George Ryerson, counsel
for Eurrard, opposed the motion and
called the attention of the Court to the
fact that Mrs outset was not present in
court. and said that if she wanted to sec
the children so very badly she would hav
been present, as she knew that the
would be in court.
The Vice. Chancellor took the same view
of the case and denied Mrs. Story's appli-
cation. He set down the habeas corpus
proceedings for April 16.
