brother, and the other her lover,
fought each other in the little apart
ment. The brother. who was armed
with large kecn-edgcd carving knife,
finally went down with three bullet
wounds in his body. He is in hos
pital and probably will die. The police
are searching for the lover on a charge
of attempted murder.
The principals in the affair We're Mrs.
Jennie Smith, a widow, her brother,
Herbert Partridge, with whom She
made her home, and Charles Johns, u

lice that the affray was the outgrowth
of the refusal of Johns to cease payin;,

warned him to do 50.
When Partridge returned home early
Wednesday morning and found Johns
IN the apartment he seized a carving
knife and Sprang upon the intruder. In

peon said that he had but a slight
chance for recovery.
Johns home is in New Rochelle.
When Mrs. Smith was arraigned in
