COMELY WOMAN MURDERED
Husband Held for New York Crime.
Victims Brother Sought.
Disappearance of Diamond Ear
rings Bears Ont Theory
OF Robbery.

New York, April 13.-Mrs Antoinette
Lieberman. a rather comely young wom-
an who lived with her husband in FIVE
room fiat at 706 Courtlandt avenue. the
Bronx, was murdered some time this
morning BY somebody who gained access
to her fiat, and. after stabbing her with a
hunting knife as she lay In bed. left and
locked the door after him.
The woman's husband, Israel Ileber-
man. who keeps a womsn's tailoring and
shirt-waist establishment at 759 Melrose
avenue, made known the crime shortly
before noon. when he rushed out of the
fiat with the hunting knife. covered with
blood. In his hand He said that he had
found 1t stuck through his wife's neck
when he came home TO see why she had
not come 20 the store as was her custom.
Lieberman later in the day was held
without bail by Coroner Mcdonald on a
technical charge Of homicide. although
the police and coroner, after a day OF
questioning did not seem to have shaken
his story much, If any
When found. the woman's diamond ear
rings, which the husband said she had
worn when she went 10 bed, were miss
ing. There were also other things about
the fat which seemed to give some color
TO a theory of robbery.
Tonight the police were deslrous OF
questioning a young brother of the mur-
dered woman who once lived with the
couple, and with whom she at one time
had a quarrel, according to the husband.

OF universal agreement Jefferson was q
man Of wonderfully vigorous and many

and infinite activity. Scarcely a subject
OF inquiry lay outside Of the range of his
versatile intellect.

His writings are no longer widely
read; his name is more on the lips than

ciples and should nearly a century after
his death claim 10 be maintaining his
traditions is a remarkable tribute TO hts

Gayety-RE:esnue.

Charles Barton and Bert Baker, al the
head Of an all-around good burIesque
company, are the attraction at the Cay

keep one continually laughing because Of
the peculiar mix-ups into which they get
themselves. The costumes and dancing
of the chorus are praiseworthy. The olio
IS composed Of singing and dancing.
When taken separately. each act IS Of
high class, but would be far better If
there were more Of varsity. The Nico-

Of no ordinary ability by their comedy
musical act. Bert Baker was heartily
applauded for his singing Of old Irish
songs. Frank Pierce, with the assistance
OF Alice Maizee. sang himself into favor.

liked for their blackfaee work, ana MIL
