Of rent she paid and to whom she paid H..
She said she leased the house from q Mrs,
Shields, who also lives on West Forty sixth
street and who, she said, formerly kept
| the house, and that she paid 500 a month
! for a sub-lease. The captain expressed
| surprise at the sum. He found In an old
| list Of disorderly housesthat woman named
Shields was down a. being the keeper Of

Two detectives were sent around TO the

that he was informed that the agents Of
some OF the houses on Woat EOTtV-HiYth
street collect enormous rents from the
keepers. He said he understood that the
owners OF the houses do not get all Of t.
An agent gives a receipt, he said, for a GER
tain sum for rent, and, in addition, collects
sum for which he does not give a receipt.

SPENT DAYS IN EFR'S TOMB.
JONATHAN REED USED TO TALK
TO HER BODY ~ ITS COFFIN.

Found at Last Lying Sens6less on the F1OsF
OF the Tomb-He Had Been stricken
With Apoplexy AFTER ReaHanging
some Articles His wife Was POnd OF.
Jonathan Reed, who has been known
for many years a. the hermit Of Evergreen
Cemetery because Of his daily visits 10
the tomb Of his wife, who died moro than
ten years ago, was stricken with Apoplexy
In her tomb yesterday and was removed In
a critical condition to the Kings County
Hospital. Reed is more than 10 years
old. and for many years he has lived In the
Eastern District Of Brooklyn. He acoumu-
lated fortune In business and just as he
retired about ten year, ago TO enjoy life
his wife died
The body was placed In a receiving vault
until Reed had built q costly tomb. After
her body had been placed In the tomb he
had II furnished en- the inside with many
fancy articles to which his wife had been
attached In life.
Reed became q daily visitor TO the tomb.
He told the curious people who Questioned
him that his wife was a. dear to him In
death as she had been In life, and that IL
was his duty to be near her all the time.
The notoriety which resulted caused the
cemetery officials to object to his long
visits to the tomb. Reed wanted 10 remain
in the tomb by night a. well a. by day,
but the cemetery superintendent refused the
request and Reed was finally allowed to ro-
main In the cemetery during the day only.
Gradually pubic curiosity TO see the tomb
died out, and the old man was bothered
very little.
In accordance with his custom Of years
he went to the cemetery yesterday morning,
and after dtting beside his wife's coffin
for time and talking 10 the body, he was
seen by a grAvediRger to be rearran Eing
the things n the tomb. Early In the after
noon another gravedigger on passing the
tomb peeped In and saw Reed lying on the
floor. As the door leading 20 the tomb was
ajar the man stepped in and discovered
that the old man was tnsensible. Police
man Dooley Of the Ralph avenue station
was summoned, and he telephoned for an
ambulance from the Bradford Street Hos
pital. DIT. Meistsr found that Mr.. Reed was
suffering from epoplexy and had him taken
to the kings County Hospital where his
condition last night was slightly improved,
although II 90 uld not be said by the doc
tors wheth or hewould recover.
