ORDERLY BROBERG 4 BIGAMIST.
Such Charge Is Brought Against Him
ny Freda johnson.

Surgeon-Major Junius l.. Powell, sta
toned at Fort Hamilton. sent to the Sur
geon-G General at Washington yesterday the
papers in the case Of Sergt. Alexander
Broberg, who is said to have married two
women. Broberg started for the Philippines
few weeks ago. Sergt. Broberg has been
in the army more than ten years and is
nearly 40 years old. He was an orderly in
the hospital service. He was regarded as
a competent man. Until few days ago
no one at Fort Hamilton had any idea that
he was married.
In the latter part Of November he told
Major Powell that he was anxious to see
service in the Philippines. His request
was indorsed and sent to Washington
where il was granted, He started for Wash
inpton Immediately, and the authorities at
Fort Hamilton heard that he had sailed
for the Far East on Dec. /.
4 few dsys aSo pretty ssiT swedish dha girl girl
Broberg's wife. Her name is Freda John
son and she works for family in Flatbush.
She is about 20 years old. With Major
Powell she left transcripts OF her wedding
certificate and the certificate OF another
girl who also. she said. married the soldier.
Miss Johnson's story is that she met
bers OF the Coast Artillery at Fort Hamilton
about four months ago. II didn' t take
long for their acquaintance to become
serious and early in November, she says,
Broberg proposed to her and was accepted.
He asked her to keep the marriage secret
and she says that he promised to make a
home for her very soon.
She suspected nothing wrong until last
Saturday, when she was called on by a
man who said his daughter had also mar
ried Broberg. His name was Mutt, and his
daughter Margaret said that she had mar
ried Broberg in Hoboken only about week
before he had married Freda johnson.
Miss johnson then got copies OF both the
marriage certificates. Miss Mutt, accord
ing to her story had been engaged to Bro
berg for two years.
Major Powell said yesterday that he ha d
supposed that Broberg had wanted to 60
to the Philippines for good and sufficient
military reasons" until Miss johnson called
on him. Without venturing any opinion
on what the Surgeon-General would do
he said that Uncle Sans arm had long

Aman in evening dress and wearing high

and staggered him. Another man gave
him blow that Strengthened him up in time
for the man with the high hat to give HIM
a sledgehammer knock on the nose. The
printer fell against the window and the
glass was shivered. All the men passen-
gers tried to land on Maxwell. They finally
picked him up and tried to pitch him out OF

ders were out when Policeman O'Leary

Policeman Arthur j. Mallon Of the West
Sixty-eighth street station, who shot and
killed Robert Brennan, 10 years old, In the
Bowery. on the morning OF May last,
was convicted OF manslaughter In the first
degree before Recorder Goff In General
Sessions yesterday. The jury was out two
hours. Mallon will he sentenced on next
Friday. The extreme penalty is twenty
years
1t Is long time since a policeman has been
convicted for a crime OF the kind. Mallon
was exonerated by Coroner's jury and 1t
was three months after that before he
was indicted. 1t was principally through
the efforts Of Assistant District Attorney
Garvan, who was in charge OF the homicide
bureau. that Mallon was not allowed to 60
free. When Mallon was indicted fund
was raised for his defence, and according
to information brought to the District
Attorney every policeman in the city con-
tributed dollar
1t was the morning after the last police
parade that Mallon killed Brennan. NAL
Ions story at the trial was that he was
looking for thief who had short-changed
his half-brother. Robert j. Jones, in a
dive at % Bowery. Mallon said that he
didn't 20 into the dive. but waited until
Jones came out. Then Brennan attacked
him, and while he had his pistol in his hand
some one grabbed his hand and the revolver
went of. After Mallon had told this story
he remembered that when Brennan fell
after being shot he had a blackjack in his
hand.
The principal witness against Mallon
was William 0'Brien, an ex-convict who
says that he has reformed. O'Brien said
that Mallon was in the dive and that when
he came outside he struck at Brennan.
Brennan then struck Mallon and ran. and
Mallon shot him.
The blotter Of the Eldridge street station
showed that Mallon said when he was
arrested after the shooting that he shot
Brennan because he was escaping after
having been arrested. The sergeant before
whom Mallon' was arraigned testified that
Mallon didn't say anything about a black
Jack and that he didn't see one.
1t was recalled yesterday that O'Brien
was asked by Mallon's counsel IL he was
friendly with the police. O'Brien said
We'll. / don't dine with them an they
don't dine with me. ! don't go to parties
with em an they don't go to parties with
me-"
1t was said yesterday that after Mallon
was exonerated by Coroner's jury he gave
a little dinner at an uptown restaurant. At
the dinner were a couple Of police officials
and some others who were interested in
seeing him go free.

for hard work. Many young ladies

GETS FAMOUS SEAT.

When Speaker Pro Tenn Frye, of
the Senate, called to order the Sec
ond session of the 18Th congress
next month, Senator McC lumber of
North Dakota will answer the roll
call from the seat formerly occu-
pied by the late George Frisby
Hoar of Massachusetts. It will be
a proud distinction for the North
Dakotan, for no other seat in the
United States senate chamber has
attached to it as much history as
the one in question. Indeed, this
very fact has led to considerable
rivalry between some of the senat-
ors. One Senator Lodge, of Mas
sachusetts, is particularly anxious
to secure the seat for himself. AS
it is, this seat is Immediately on
his left, but the powers that be did
not see fit to so honor the new sen.
ator from the Bay state with the
chair.
It is whispered about the capitol
that Mr.. Lodge las not yet given
up hope to secure the coveted prize,
1t IS said that he has even gone SO
far as to ask the North Dakota
senator to swap the seat for his
own. Just why Senator McCum-
Der should do this, no one will dare
explain. But it will not be denied
that the North Dakotan is capable
of fllingit and to add to it's history.
