WITH ACID
HENRY ROSENBERG TREATED AT
CASUALTY HOSPITAL.
His Wife Charged With Inficting In
juries-Mrs. Rosenberg Makes
a Statement.

Henry Rosenberg, a tailor, who resides
on Missouri avenue, was removed to the
Casualty Hospital about s o'clock last
night from 211 Pennsylvania avenue north
west suffering from burns on his face
caused by carbolic acid which he claimed
had been thrown him by his wife, Re
becca Rosenberg. the bottle which con-
tanned the acid inficting a wound on his
cheek While the cut and burns are pain
full they are not serious, and he was able
to leave the hospital this morning.
The trouble between Rosenberg and his
wife last night, it is said, was result of
request the wife's part that he return
to live with her This he refused to do.
Rosenberg separated from his wife in New
York city about three years ago and came
here Mrs Rosenberg followed him. arriving
here about month ago and making her
home at 73S 9Th street northwest. She has
seen him a number of times and asked him
to return to her, but this he declined tONdo.
About ten days ago Mrs, Rosenberg had
her husband arrested on a charge OF haV-
ing improper relations with another wo-
man, but after hearing the facts Judge
Mills of the Police Court dismissed the
case. Mrs. Rosenberg followed her nus
band from the court building and became
hysterical on the street and had to be re-
moved to the Emergency Hospital for
treatment. 1t is said that at that time one
of her friends took a bottle containing car
bOlic acid from her because 1t was feared
that she might attack Rosenberg with 1t.
Mrs. Rosenberg's Statement.
When Mrs. Rosenberg was seen by
Star reporter this morning she said there
was no truth in the story that she had a
bottle of carbolic acid with her when she
appeared against her husband in the Police
Court recently, and therefore it would have
been impossible for any of her friends to
take any from her.
Il heard yesterday afternoon that my
husband was visiting friends down on Penn
sylvania avenue, and l called there last
night to see if | could not induce him to
live with me. l am here in strange city
without friends. l haven't got cent of
money and my baby, who is little over
three years old is very sick. l told my
turn to me.
1T is not true what my husband says,
when he accuses me of throwing carbolic
acid on him. she said, with tears stream
ing down her cheeks, but it was him that
tried to throw it me after he had held
a bottle to my lips and tried to make me
drink the contents.
We were seated in the store talking and
he grabbed me by the throat and | ran out
into the back yard with him in pursuit. He
grabbed hold of me when l reached the
yard and caught me by the throat, and,
taking bottle from his pocket, he held 1t
to my mouth and tried to pour what | later
learned was carbolic acid down my throat.
l struggled with him and in some manner
the cork came out of the bottle and the
put it on him"
