PLAYED ON
FEARS OF:
A Wife

New York. April "a novel confidence
game was nipped in the bud when In
spector OBrien's detectives arrested Err
nest A. Belden and his wife OF No. 30
King street. both ex-convicts. on COM
plaint of Mrs. Innah @. Hart, OF No. 1864
Fulton street. Brooklyn.
Belden is 80 years old and dresses
stylishy. The Belden woman is 10 years
his senior and slatternly in her dress.
The police say she dresses as a servant
TO secure employment and rob her en-
ployers
Mrs Hart Il the wife OF sea captain
who was sent to Sing Sing prison few
months ago for smuggling. She has a
baby, born since her husbands conviction.
Belden on Wednesday introduced himself
70 her as a member OF a law Arm.
He said her hus band had been detected
by prison officials In attempt to
smuggle a letter 10 her. and that he had
been punished by being cast into a black
dungeon 30 feet under ground on a bread
and water diet.
1T is a horrible place" said Belden.
"and unless he is released at once he is
almost sure 10 go mad"
Mrs. Hart. almost beside herself with
grief and fear, asked Belden what she
could do. He told her that for 5000 he
could influence the prison doctor TO have
her husband placed in the prison
hospital.
Mrs. Hart said she could not raise so
much, but might get 800 among her
friends. Belden consented to accept that
sum. He made an appointment 10 meet
her in the general postoffice yesterday.
She arrived at the appointed hour and
had the money with her. Her baby was
in her arms.
Belden was a few minutes late. For
some reason his wife had gone TO the
postoffice ahead OF him and had been
followed by Detectives McKenna, Dewey
and Cassassa. who had recognized her in
the street.
Mrs. Hart recognized her as a woman
who had recently answered her advertise
ment for servant and had run off with
jewery and clothing. She caught the
woman by tho arm and screamed for
help. just as Belden arrived on the scene.
The detectives arrested all concerned.
McKenna says that Belden took him
aside and SAID: There's n hundred dol
lars here for me. and II you wait TIL /
get IL you're on for half OF It,"

Only Retire Them.
Baltimore, March DIR. ~William
Osler, of Johns Hopkins university,
who recently made some declarations
concerning men older than 40 or 90
have given out this signed statement
with the view OF correcting errors
which have arose from Interpretations:
Il have been 50 misquoted in the pa
pers that 1 should like TO make the
following statement:
First. that I did not say that men
at sixty should be chloroformed- That
was the point in the novel which /
referred. and On which the plot hinged
Secondly, nothing in the criticisms
has shaken my conviction that the
telling work of the world has been
done and is being done by men under
40 years of age The exceptions which
have been given only illustrate the
rule.
Thirdly, il would be for the general
good if men at so were relieved from
active work. We should miss the en-
ergies of some young old men, but,
on the whole, it would be of the great
est service to the seXagenarjans them
selves"
