Upon his promise that he would never

Twentieth street, was given his liberty
in the First Precinct Court today.

Of cruelty to animals. brought by Lewis

answering the complaint, White assert
ed that the horse had always been
lame and that his efforts to cure the
affection had proved ~unavailing.
DR.. H. Wander Roost, the veterinary,
was sworn and stated that the animal
suffered no pain while walking, but
that suffering was caused by a faster
pace. Upon hearing this White ex-
claimed, "Then I'll never make the
horse travel faster than a walk again,
IL II takes me a week to each my
destination" Judge Howell took him
literally at his word and allowed him
to go without INJECTING any penalty.

MRS. ERB, GOING

TRIES SUICIDE
New Theory Is That Her Hus-

Hit with Jardiniere.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. Mrs. J.
Clayton Erb, under arrest with her
sister, Mrs. Katherine Beisel. on the
charge Of being accessory to the MUIR
der Of her husband, Captain Erb, at
tempted suicide at Media Jail. Persist
ent reports to that effect were partly
confirmed last night by officials of the
prison.
Mrs. Erb Is said to have twisted u
portion Of her underskirt into a rope
and to nave attempted to strangle her
! self in her cell.
All last night she was In hysteria.
alternately shrieking II didn't shoot
Clayt! I never shot him!" and calling
for her sister to help her. Prison Of
ficials fear she will become hopelessly
insane because of the mental strain.
1t will be charged that attempts were
made to poison Erb and that the shoot
ing was decided upon when Mrs. Erb
and Mrs. Beisel became aware that Pro-
lessor Meeker, analytical chemist of
the University of Pennsylvania, had
found poison in a bottle given to him
Wy Ndpldlu Jill WCChS d6O. u "
had then said he suspected an attempt
to poison him.
After this discovery, according to the
police, Mrs. Erb and Mrs. Beisel met at
the Village Green Inn On Tuesday
night, two hours before the shooting.
and deliberately planned the murder.
After this conference, they say, while
her sister was waiting at the hotel
Mrs. Erb ran to Red Gables and taunt-
ed him until he became frenzied. Then
Mrs. Erb telephoned to Village Green
that "Mr. Erb was about to kill her."
Mrs. Beisel at, once went to the house,
and after Erb had been lured from his
room by his wife, shot him in the back,
the police say.
A new theory Is that Erb's death
was due to a blow on the head, infiict-
ed by his wife with a ~Jardiniere.
A fight has begun for the possession
Of the estate of Captain Erb. which is
said to be worth nearly 81, 900. 900. Rela-
tives OF the dead man are determined
that the widow shall have no part In
the disposal Of the estate and 1t IL

TWICE MARRIED,
DIVORCED, NOW

Judge Howell Decides Matri-
monial Tangie in Favor
of Woman.

Defiant one moment, weeping bitter
ly the next, Mrs. Rose Wilderman, of
1870 Broome street, revealed in the First
Precinct Police Court today a matri-
monial tangle that put to the test all
the of Judge Howell In his
attempt to bring about a just settle
ment.
The woman's story, told through an
interpreter, was to h effect that she
had married in Russia nine years ago
Samuel W%iiderman, and that they had
lived together up to three years ago,
three children resulting from the union.
Shortly after their arrival in this
country Mrs. Wilderman secured a
divorce. according to the rites Of the
Jewish religion. and two years age
married a mar named Cooper. who has
since disappeared. Mrs. Waterman
now has the care of four children and
the action brought by her today was
for the purpose Of compelling Wilder
man t. contribute to her support.
Through his counsel, Wilderman, who
Is employed as a butcher at 1876 Broome
street, demurred to this arrangement,
asserting thai his marriage to the
woman was invalid. inasmuch as she
had not secured a legal divorce at the
time of her marriage to him, and on
the further grounds that an action fol-
an absolute divorce brought by him
is now pending in chancery. The tangle
was finally Strengthened out by an or
der issued by the court, directing him
to pay "a per week to his wife until
the case in chancery has been dis
posed OF.

PHYSICIAN ACCUSED.
Charged With Selling Worthless
Medical Certificates.

Sherman, Tex, March 1S,-J. j.
Davis, special agent of the Texas med
zeal board, has filed complaint at
Denison against physician for swind-
ling. The charge grows out Of the
disposition Of certificates from the old
medical board, which was in existence
prior to July IL, 1907; when the pres
ent law governing the practice OF med
icine went into effect and a new board
was appointed. Large numbers OF
these certificates, which were ordered
destroyed, have been peddled to peo-
pie who desired to practice medicine,
bringing, 1t is stated by Mr.. Davis,
sums ranging from $50 to $500. There
will be a special meeting of the state
medical board at Waco in a day or
two. Mr.. Davis says that one of the
men engaged In disposing Of these
certificates will go before the board
and make a clean breast OF the whole
affair. II was also stated that men
high up In the profession would be
affected, and that many arrests will
follow.
Mr.. Davis stated that DR.. Brumby,
state health officer, was also looking
after this matter on his recent visit
to north Texas and Oklahoma. Most
Of the certificates mentioned, it is
claimed, were disposed of in this sec.
dion of Texas and in Oklahoma.
