SYLVIA GERRISH DEAD.
widow Of the Spendthrift Son Of the Late
Judge Hilton.

Mrs. Sylvia Gerrish Hilton, widow OF
Henry Graham Hilton, a son of the late
Judge Henry Hilton, died on Saturday Of
pneumonia at her home on Morris
Heights, The Bronx. Mrs. Hilton had
peer living in seclusion in the house
for some time. She had japanese serv-
ants, and a formidable array of bull
dogs which were kept busy last year fright
ening away process servers who made re-
peated attempts to serve Mrs. Hilton in a
suit TO foreclose a $1,000 mortgage on the
property.
Mrs. Hilton came to this city from San
Francisco in the sos and became a popular
comic opera actress, noted for a beautiful
figure. She was one of the favorites at the
old Casino Theatre and became one of a set
that included Della Fox, Howell Osborn and
others that we're noted among the gay per-
Sons Of the town. In 1850 her name first
began TO be associated with that Of young
Hilton. He was found asleep in a cab out
side of the Casino stage doc one night very
late, and when disturbed by a Waterman
aid that he was wa ting for Miss Gerrish.
Hilton lavished diamonds on the actress
and furnished a fine apart ment for her.
1t has been stated thai the pair were
married in March, 1901, just four days after
the death Of Hilton's first wife, who was a
Miss SanXey OF Brooklyn. Judge Hilton
cut his son on from any inheritance. but
after his death. it Is understood, a settle
ment was made upon the son. Mrs. Hilton
was running for a train at the High Bridge
station when she fell and broke her ankle.
Last August her home was robbed of
silverware by burglars. .
As Miss Gerrish the actress first appeared
here in any part Of prominence on De-
cember S, 1887, as Jorine in "Madelon."
Later she had a part in the Gilbert and Sui
livan opera The Woman of the Guard"
She was one of the cast in The Brigands"
and The Drum Major" both OF which
were produced at the Casino In 1888. Later
she retired from the stage, returning In
1890 in the production OF uncle Celestin."
Then she again retired. returning TO the
stage at various times for a few years after

FATHER-TN.LAW UPHOLDS FELL.
Edwin =. Cramp DcnOunces Alma Roberts,
suit Against Young New Yorker.

~HILADELPHIA Dec. 9.-It was on the
advice of his wife and his father-in-laW,
Edwin S. Cramp, that Theodore Roosevelt
Pell of New York de cided to accept I'M
pleasant publicity and openly contest the
claim for $4,000 damages for breach of
promise brought against him by Aim
Roberts.
A family counsel was held more than
five months ago. Mr.. Cramp went over
from Philadelphia at the request of his
son-in-law and insisted that not one cent
be offered to keep the proceedings from
going to the courts. in which course Mr..
Cramps daughter concurred.
None of the family is bothered about
this preposterous suit" said Mr.. Cramp
this evening. 1T is simply one Of tho~o
affairs of which any young man of good
family in any large city is liable to have
some woman attempt to make him ths
victim.
"The woman claims breach of promises
vet almost the first question she asked Mr..
Pell the first time she came to his office on
business was whether lie was not the young
man who had married my daughter. On
the face of it the suit Is not h 1t purport'
to he.
Imagine a woman 81 or 10 who has been
a chorus girl ani who keeps a boarding
house for men,, n New York, being the
victim of a young man Of p.
Il know hundreds of prominent men an
the large cities who will never visit A woman
on business or allow one to enter their
Offices. But in some businesses this rlIe
cannot hold. understand that this woman
called at my Son-in-law's Office and pro-
fessed To he looking for a house. He went
with her TO show several and on the trip
she asked him many questions.
He did not see anything more of her
until one day he received a note asking hlm
to call. He thought it was some businca
connected with the house, but she old hiu
she was in a delicate condition and aSFcl
him to write the address of some physician
he knew. He was amazed and declined 20
do so.
"AbCtt five months ago he heard Of the
case and asked me to come TO Now York.
He had told his wife Of it and We all advised
that no attention he paid TO the proposal 10
settle but TO Use all the money necessary
to fight it openly"
Mr.. Pell narried Miss Florence Cramn
in 1903. Miss Cramp was known to her
friends in this city and Newport As Tiny.
She is fond of ennis and il was on the Now
port courts that Mr.. Pell first met her.

deep shadows of the doorway. But they
continued to pound.
~Only want a drink Of water. pardner,-
one Of the men whispered through the
keyhole as Charlie went forward TO make
a second inquiry. He let them in. They
promptly downed him and just had time
to get his money, SIPS. when there was a
great commotion outside. Detectives Mike
Crowley and Grover l.. Cleary of the
Church street station, thinking IL queer
that the lights in "a were out 90 early,
had come across the street TO investigate
and heard the racket. They tried TO get
in, but the door was locked. They could
dimly see the struggle in the rear OF the
barroom. Roundsmen FULLY and Higgins
had also come up. The four smashed In the
door.
Az they entered the two robbers ran out
They got by the cops but Higgins pulled
his revolver and fred vice They stopped
and were subdued after making a second
attempt 10 resist.
At the Church street station one OF the
men was found TO be at least a half breed
Indian. He said he was Frank Pierce. IS
years old. Of Medina, Orleans county, and
aid he was a, gambler. His companion
said he was Joe Peterson. rs years old, a
section hand at Saranac Lake. Pierce was
unable TO explain where he got a handbook
showing an ts42 balance drawn VIZ in the
name Of Alexander d. Matoux on the
National City Bank Of Troy.

it's the white half OF me that's going TO hell. -
They were both held for trial in 81 900
bail each by Magistrate Barlow in the
TOmbs police court.
Central ONCE detectives said Pierce has
already done Ave years for burglary and is
a crook who will do murder without scruple.
Peterson. they said, is Just a big lout OF a
farmer who was probably directed by
the halfbreed.
