wife. but about two days ago Mrs Bat
tell moved with her mother 10 the corner
Of Seventh ana streets southwest.
Mrs Batteu was out when a reporter
for The Times called this morning, but
her mother. Mrs. Baton. readily talked
Of the circumstances that led up TO the
separation She said
Accused Of. Bigamy.
My daughter lived with Batteu until
she could stand IL no longer. He would
come home drunk and beat her uumer-
clfully. About three months ago my
daughter got wind of "a rum0r that her
husband had a wife living IN Richmond.
Va She communicated with the au-
thoriues at that place and received ir-
formation stating that Il was true that
Bsttell had a wife living there
My daughter then confronted him
with the information He did not deny
the charge. but stated that he had only
married the woman for her money. He
told my daughter that he got a good
slice OF her money and skipped out
Prior 10 his marriage 10 the woman at
Richmond he married another woman
In Virginia. but from her he obtained a
divorce.
The primary reason why Mrs. Battell
lEft him was that he was continually
drunk He would come home at night
and beat her.
Wrote Letter to Wife Yesterday.
ION one occasion he came home aad
tried TO murder her. He threw her
across the bed and pulled a razor across

up her life even % get rid OF him
Two DAYS ago she came 10 live with
me. Then We decided to move and not
let him know where we had located.
Yesterday Mrs Rattell received a special
delivery letter from him stating that
he had consulted a fortune teller and
that she had Informed him that unless
he uuburdened his heart and told her
a terrible secret that weighed upon his
soul he would never be happy. The let
ter was brought 20 us by Mrs. Amelia

ADVICE FROM FIRE CHIEF.
Beat Things to Do When Caught In
Burning Building.


Chief Crocker, OF the New Yorl
fire brigade, offers the following ad
vice as to conduct In case OF an out
break OF fire.
Keep cool; no matter how hot
everything around you gets, retain
a cool, calm equilibrium, and you'll
come out all right.
Send in the alarm Immediately
do not take II for granted that some
one else has rung up the fire de
partinent
Fight the fire yourself before the
fremen arrive. Very few fires, If dis
covered at the outset are beyond the
control of the people on the premises,
II only quick, intelligent action is
taken. Fight the flames with pals
of water; smother them with rugs
and blankets: beat them out with wet
brooms.
Block the spread OF fire. II the
burning room or rooms can be shut
on from the rest OF the building. It
will take considerable time for Pine
fire to spread Shut all doors, tran.
SONS and windows opening on shafts,
and, II possible. those to the exterior.
BY closing mp the burning rooms you
prevent draughts. and cut OFF new
supply OF oxygen. The fire, after ex-
hausting the oxygen, will only smoul.

spreading through a building, burns
straight to the roof. usually by way
OF the halls and stairways, and then,
widening its course eats back to the
stories below. The lower floors are
the safest In time OF fire.
Never try to climb up the stairs to
the roof, and never open the scuttle

BE careful not to get excited, and
not to breathe in the hot, smoking at

escape without Drawing too great heat.
A wet towel held over the mouth and
nostrils will enable you to live in an
otherwise deadly atmosphere. But
unless the fire spreads into the room
