To have ones own brother arrested
Is not a pleasant task, especially IL the
act has any connection with a sad
chapter IN the familys history but

which he claimed was the amount
necessary TO bury another brother.

Farnhurst Hospital and his asserting
the opinion that led to John threaten

been of unsound mind since childhood,
and who had been an inmate OF the

twelve years died on Saturday last.

TO Chester and going 70 the home Of
Alphonse demanded the sum of $50
with which to give the dead brother a
decent funeral Alphonse agreed 20
pay his share Of the expenses hut
positively refused 10 give the money
to his brother Tho latter then became
abusive and after using hard language
left the house and threatened 20 do
Alphonse bodily harm II he came out
on the sidewalk. An officer was sum-
moned and placed the Wilmington
man under arrest.
At the hearing before Alderman FL
/ lott, there being no one 90 appear
against him, Deprisco was discharged
with orders not to come TO Chester
for the purpose OF creating trouble.
In the meantime. Alphonse Deprisco
had come TO Wilmington where he
learned that the body OF his younger
brother had been inferred i'm Potter's
Field. and that his supposltion that
the elder brother wanted the $40 IN
