WHO IS MARK
sTRE|CHER, A
LAWYER ASKS

Is Mark Streicher OF this city Morris
THEM. of Chicago. and again is he
Jacob Lederer of New York?
These interesting questions were
raised by Attorney James A. williams
in the superior court today. Mr.. Will
liams is attorney for Annie Kotler,
who has filed a bill in equity against
Morris Them, Jacob Lederer and Mark
Streicher.
Shortly after the hearing was opened
the attention OF Judge Baker was
called to the fact that there had been
no service on Them or Lederer. Cita-
ton had been served on Streicher as
the attorney In fact OF THEM I'm this
state. Commenting on this fact r. ID.
Bassett said Them was not in court.
Mr.. Williams said very quickly: Yes
he Is for he sits right by your side"
Mr.. ,Bassett said his brother was
facetious. IT developed. though, that
the court rather thought II THEM was
not in court there were parties In court
who might aid materially the piafntfff
In getting service upon him.
Mrs. Kotler in her bill recites that
she owns property on Public and Cot
tage streets and that the same was
mortgaged by her husband TO Robert
L. Walker for $500. by herself to
Jacob Lederer for $1,000 and TO Morris
THEM on Feb. %, 1905, for $4500, and
again to Them for $4,000 on April 13,
1905. She denies the validity OF the
last three mortgages, because she
AYERS that the consideration has
wholly Nsed.
The rMney for which these three
mortgages were given. IL is claimed
was to be used by Streicher upon
buildings to be built on the property.
She claims the money was not so ap-
piled, and that there are heavy obliga-
tions against the building for labor and
materials.
Mrs. Kotler offers to pay anything
that may be in fact due under the
mortgages and wants master in
chancery appointed TO find out first
buildings and how much Is still due
for materials. The three mortgage
deeds We're all delivered TO Streicher,

the mortgages and now had the Them

said Thein was I'm Chicago, had been

In response to the questions Mr.. Will

THAT nothing similar occurred previous

WEEDEN ESCAPES
FOR THIRD TIME

Frank weeden, the noted insane
prisoner patient at the state hospital.
again escaped from that institution
this morning, the latest breakaway
for liberty being his third within as
many months.
The escape was made between $40
and o'clock this morning and was
effected with much cunning and the
dexterous tearing away of lathing and
plaster from a partition.
When Weeden and other inmates OF
his dormitory awoke this morning just
before o'clock and were assembled
by the attendants. weeden reported
TO one of the attendants that he was
sick and he was passed TO another
room there TO be given relief.
On his way TO this room, he groaned
repeatedly and in the room continued
TO moan as IL In pain. and finally threw
himself to the floor and twisted and
great agony.
ATTENDANT ALARMED.
The attendant became alarmed and
left Weeden in the room alone to go
and notify the supervisor. who at once
sent word TO one OF the hospital
physicians. but as the doctors live out
side the walls OF the hospital some
little time naturally had TO elapse be-
fore the one summoned coHlaEaF#iper
Pending the arrival OF the physician
Weeden was left in the room and the
other patients were marched to the
dining room to he served with break
fast.
While attendants and patients were
at breakfast Weeden seized the op-
portunity to get his liberty which his
