With his brain smaller by four
ounces than when he fired a bullet
into his head on April 8, Jacob Ritz

Brooklyn, says the New York Press.
His case has drawn the attention OF
physicians from all parts of the city.
The hospital doctors said the recovery

A bullet plowed through Ritzs

days. A tumor formed between the
brain and skull and pressed upon the
injured lobes. A rubber tube was in.

CAN'T FIND HIS AFFINITY
Artist Earle Released From Jail
Searches for his Wife

Goshen. n. Y, Aug. 2S.-After
spending two sleepless nights In the
jail here on charge of beating his
wife, Ferdinand Pinney Earle of af.
Unity fame, was released yesterday
morning on $4,000 bail Immediately
on leaving jail he began a search for
his wife. Mrs. Julia Kutner Earle.
whom he married after inducing his
first wife to go to France and get di.
vorce from him.
Earle was surrounded by newspa-
per correspondents the moment he
stepped from the Jail. but he stopped
only long enough to say: Il am going
TO md my wife, no matter where she
is. l know that If can talk with
her for ten minutes. she will forgive
me and everything will be all right
again. This whole trouble has been
twisted and | have been misrepresen-
ted
Then pushing his way through the
group of reporters. Earle sprang into
"a carriage and went to a garage. His
brother, Victor NJ. Earle, who had
come from New York to furnish bail
for the prisoner, did not accompany
the artist, but took a train for New
York. Ferdinand Earle hired an au.
tomobile atthe garage and ordered
the chauffeur to make all haste to his
home at Munroe. The journey was
quickly over, and the artist dashed in
TO the house to put on fresh clothing.
He remarked to the chauffeur upon
coming out that he wanted to look
presentable when he found his wife.
To the great disappointment of
Earle, there was no train leaving Mon
roe until late in the day, so he de-
cided to go by automobile to Tuxedo.
and there board the 2:35 express for
New York. Earle said that he did not
know where his wife was stopping but
believed she was with her mother. He
was in high state of excitement and
said the two days in Jail had unset.
tied his nerves.
A few hours later, when the chauf.
feur returned. he said that Earle had
missed the 1885 train and that he had
decided to wait for the next train.
This train stops at Monroe, so the re-
porters boarded It, but Earle was not
at Tuxedo when they arrived there,
and he did not get aboard the train
they were on. All efforts to find
where he had gone were of no avail.
but 1t was thought he had found some
other mode than by train of getting to
New York.
II was reported here that Mrs. Julia
Kutner Earle was stopping with her
brothers at Basking Ridge, ~ j., but
persons who went there to talk with
her regarding charges of cruelty
against her husband, returned to
Goshen tonight, and said the reports
were without foundation.
