AS He
COULD BE TO
MA-IN-LAW
Says Mrs. browne, and Said
Mean Things Of Her
Mothers Store Teeth.

Handsome and young, with a tenn
perment and disposition peculiarly
happy. Mrs. Louise F. browne told
Vice-Chancellor Stevens late yesterday
why she had left the home of her
wealthy husband and his home in New
York city, choosing comparative pow
erty in Jersey City flat rather than
bear his company or continue to live
with him as his wife. She. left him,
and with her son, Henry Russell
browne, jr., April 20 last year, went
to Dakota and got a divorce, giving
her custody of her son. Now the di-
vorced husband is trying ITO get the
boy. and to accomplish his purpose has
attacked the morals and character of
the mother.
Much of Mrs Brownies testimony
appeared in yesterdays night edition
of the EVENING STAR.
"When fellow tenants gave up their
apartments Mr.. browne hurried down
and went through them. looking for
anything that was left behind" SAID
Mrs. browne, telling her side of the
couples jars. "He brought up old pots
and kettles, bottles, cast-off clothes
anything. When he was invited to a
reception he asked me to borrow a
dress coat for him from one of our
neighbors. He was rude to my mother.
Mother is old, ard after she had false
teeth he would ask her at table: Why
do you make so much noise with your
teeth?' When we went out to dine
mother always paid him in advance
her share. He always took it, even II
1t was fifty cents. IF she used post
age stamp she paid him for it, and he
was glad to get the two cents.
"One morning 1 found him busy
trying to sew up the button holes of
pair of cuffs which had thrown away
because they had worn out"
Mr.. browne is a woolen merchant
at 81 Leonard street and said to be
worth $500,00O. The evidence in the
suit so far brought out shows that
for is years he forced his wife to live
on $25 a week and buy her clothes.
Two years before she left him Mrs,
browne refused to live with him as
his wife. He gave her $4,000 in an at
tempt to regain her affection, she said,
but she told him he could not do that
If he paid her million dollars. She
left him finally after he had thrown
her against glass door in their apart
ments in the Windsor Broadway and
Fffty-fourth street, New York, and
gashed her arm in two places.
The suit for the custody of the boy
was adjourned last night until next
Wednesday.

NEW YORK, Nov. 9.--While fire

through the smoke-fllled halls and
burning stairway and stole the saw
ings of two sisters, who, fearing that
banks were insecure, had taken their
money to their room and hidden it.
The sisters, Eugenia and Edna Pho
pietro, came here from England six
months ago. They got employment and
Eugenia had saved $1oO in currency
and about $50 in gold. Her sister had
accumulated S100 in currency.
On retiring last night the sisters put
their savings in stocking which, with
three others, was placed across a chair
at the bedside. The fire started from
an overheated stove in a restaurant
on the ground floor. and when the sis
ters were awakened by the smoke they
were so frightened they would have
perished had not Policemen Hennessy
and Gum gone to the rescue and car
ried them to the street. Then the sis
ters remembered their money and be-
gan to scream.

and get the stocking. The men went, only
to return and to announce no money was
there. Several policemen were then sent
and returned with the same report
"It was there when we were carried out
of the ROOM" said Eugenia. II know It
was there"
When the fire was got under control the
women were taken up to the room. There
were the four stockings on the chair, just
as they had described, but the money was
gone. Eugenia then became hysterical, and
a fireman called down

the street. She was quieted by Edna, and
then the two sisters clad In their night
dresses, took their seats on the stoop of
an adjoining building.

robbed those sisters" commented the Bat

Everyone is wondering how the thief got
up the stairs with the firemen and police

Susan Clark, daughter of Daniel Clark,
of ia East Kinney street. they are in
vestigating the case today under the

Oliver Street School, the Clark girl
said, she met a man she didn't know,
an Italian. she says he was. of medium
build, who placed a piece of cloth
saturated with some fluid to her nose.
According to the girls statement she
lost her power of perception to large
extent, hut not sufficiently to prevent
her from walking to Pacific street.

Having no money the girl pleaded
with conductor of a South Orange
car, which she stopped. and he allowed
her to ride home. Her assailant was
nowhere to be seen. The girl made her
appearance at her parents home close
to 10 o'clock last night in an hysterical
condition.
Mrs. Clark was at the Third Precinct
Police station today, and from what
the police cleaned from the girls
mother they think that her daughter is
