CHICAGO, May 13-Alderman Jona-
than Ruxton, representative of Presi-
dent Roosevelt's anti-race suicide club
in Chicago, and chief enemy of land
lords who close their houses and flats
to families with babies, was threaten
ed with death today unless he dropped
his advocacy of the ordinance in the
city council making it crime for
landlords to refuse to rent to people
with children.
Alderman Ruxton received an an
nonymous letter in which he was
berated and ridiculed and the writer
threatened to shoot him. The writer
evidently is a landlord who will be
sorely hit If the ordinance is passed.
The alderman declares he will urge
the passage of the ordinance more
strongly than ever. After turning the
letter over to the postal authorities he
said such threats would only make
him more bitter against landlords, who
refused to have children in their
buildings. The letter was shown to
several aldermen and they declared
they would vote in favor of the ordi-
nance.

Special Cable to The Herald.

Special Gable to The Herald.
LONDON, May 13.-Believers and
doubters in what is generally termed
spiritualsm had two matters to dis
cuss this week. The first was paper
on automatic writing read by Pro-
fessor Richet to the society for psy-
chical research. He told of a woman,
whose genuineness and good faith he
vouched for, who, without the slightest
knowledge of Greek writes Greek and
quotes sentences in Greek from book
she has never seen or heard of.
The second mystery concerns the
appearance in the house of commons
OF the astral body of a member of
parliament. Sir Carne Basch, member
for Middlesex, has been suffering from
influenza which developed into neuro-
the sessions of the house in order to
help the government whip. Finally,
however, he had to give in and remain
at home.
Sir Gilbert Parker, who saw what he
thought was the baronet, said: II
was attracted by seeing Basch out of
his place. 1 knew he had been i'll, so 1
nodded my head and said, II hope you
are better" He made no sign or reply.
His face was remarkably pallid and
he sat hunched up. I thought for a
moment and then turned to him again
but he had disappeared. 1 was puzzled
and went in search Of him. 1 inquired
about him all over the house, and in
every corner, but no one had seen
Sir Carne."

PLIGHT OF GIRLS
HUSBAND is SAD
Charles n. Gurney Comes to Los An
geIes to Bury Remains of
Murdered Wife

Stricken to the heart by a calamity
that has wrecked his life and fighting
with all his strength against the temp
tations of despair, Charles H. Gurney,
the young newspaper man whose bride
of few weeks was murdered by her
former suitor Friday morning, arrived
in Los Angeles yesterday morning from
San Francisco to take charge of the
remains of all that was dear to him.
The brief spell of torture to the young
man, compelled to sit quietly in a coach
and control himself while the greatest
sorrow of his life awaited him at the
end of the line, had written it's mark
on Gurney's face and he seemed to have
aged at least ten years.
Gurney was preparing to start house
keeping in San Francisco and was MAX
ing final arrangements for taking his
wife to the northern city when the
tragedy occurred.
II had just mailed a letter to my
wife telling her that all was ready.
and things looked fair for our building
little home, when 1 received the
news" said Gurney yesterday.
Didn't Fear Brlghtman
IT had gone to San Francisco with
the express purpose of settling there,
and If possible securing a good posi-
tion. so as to take my wife to that city
and start housekeeping. / knew that
Brightman had loved Donna, but had
won her and won her fairly and it never
occurred to me that Brightman would
even wish to see her, and 1 thought 1
was perfectly safe in leaving her in
this city"
When Gurney was called up on the
telephone by friends in San Francisco
and the terrible news told him he fell
from the chair on which he was sitting,
and only the quick work of the men in
the office i'm securing medical aid saved
him from probable death, as the shock
affected his heart.
Since his arrival In Los Angeles Cur
ney has been choosing every word he
utters with care, and win not speak Of
the great grief that has come to him.

BR|GHTMAN WAS
MARRIED MAN
Welded SECRETLY AND THEN
DESERTED WIFE
NO RECORD OF A DIVORCE
Murderer of Mrs. Gurney, Who Conn
mtted Suicide, Identified by One
Who Was Present at His
Marriage
Marriage

Adelbert Brightman, who murdered
Mrs. Charles II. Gurney, bride OF
six weeks, Friday morning, and then
turned the muzzle of his revolver to
his own head and fired, was the hus-
band of a woman now in San Fran
cisco, whom he married secretly six
years ago and deserted about year
later. A daughter was then born to
the deserted wife. The child Is now
living in the north with her mother.
Brightman was never divorced.
This information was learned last
night from George Clayton of 642 West
Thirtieth street, who called at Bresee
Bros. morgue and there identified the
body of Brightman as that Of man
he had known for seven years and at
whose marriage six years ago in Los
Angeles he was present.
Never Secured Divorce
Clayton declares that the murderer
of Mrs. Gurney never secured a d.
vorce from his wife, but deserted her
about year after their marriage,
and soon after the daughter was born,
who is now five years old.
When the marriage was solemnized
it was kept a deep secret and but
few of Brightman's closest friends
knew of his welded life, declared Clay
ton last evening. 1t is said that the
couple lived together on Kohler street,
where the wife continued to live after
Brightman deserted her.
II afterward learned that he had
been married even before this" said
Clayton, but I was never able to find
out who the woman was or where she
lived.
II saw Mrs. Brightman often after
the desertion of her husband and she
had great difficulty in making enough
to support herself and child. Three
years ago she went to San Francisco,
where she has since been living. 1 saw
her in that city a few months ago, and
she still had the daughter, who has
grown to be a beautiful little girl.
Sent Money to Daughter
Mrs. Brightman told me at that
time that a divorce had never been
granted, either to herself or her hus-
band, although she had not seen him
or had any communication from him
since he deserted her in Los Angeles
several years ago. She told me that
he sent money to the daughter occa-
sionally to help support her, but never
mentioned his wife's name or asked
after her in his communications.
In one of the letters found in the
dead mans pocket mention was made
of former marriage, and this is the
woman to whom he made reference,
it is believed.
