Arlington Man Declares Spouse
Directed Personally Con-
Quoted Marriage.
CRUELTY ALLEGES WIFE
WHO SEEKS FREEDOM
Extraordinary Condiment in
Coffee Told of by Stepdaugh-
ter for Fathers Side.

Though 1t v as not leap year, Freder-
ick Gilman, of 81 Beach street, Arling-
ton, whose wife is suing him for divorce
before Vice-Chancellor Howell, claims
that his wife proposed to him and after
he had reluctantly accepted, she went
out and got a minister and bought a
wedding ring out of her own money. The
whole job, he said was completed in
one day.
Previously the Mrs. Gilman to be
had made several inquiries as to what
he proposed to do. His sister had gone
to Europe and his wife, whose maiden
name he thought then was Eliza or
Elizabeth Kane, but which he now says
was Mrs. Jeremiah Norton. with a hus-
band and two children living, was a
friend of hers and called frequently at
their home. She asked the defendant
several times what he proposed to do,
and each time he answered that he
didn't know, but he knew for one thing
that he was not going to get married.
He had been married before and his
first wife died in 1898. They had three
children. He fought shy, according to
his statement, but on that fateful day
he wss cornered, and when Mrs. Gill;
want to be any longer, proposed, he
consented.
The bride lost no tine according TO
Gilman, in running out for a clergy
man and getting a ring. She brought
both back to the house and became Mrs.
Gilman before he woke up. 1t was in
1907 that Gilman claims he discovered
his wife had husband and family liv-
ing He was advised to get a divorce,
but hesitated, because of his love for
her children.
Mrs. Gilman produced witnesses to
show that her first husband died in
Bellevue Hospital, New York, about
fourteen years ago. She claimed that
Gilman treated her most cruelty and
gave an instance of one case when he
thrust her head-first into a vat of
picked meat
Elizabeth Gilman, Is years old. the
womans step-daughter, testified that
she and her brother had been treated
most cruelty by their stepmother. She
arverred she had seen her stepmother
spit in her fathers plate at table and
also in the coffee pot. Her purpose, the
girl said, was just to be disagreeable
and to prevent them from drinking.

MAN Who KILLED

PLEADS NON vULT
VincenzO Bu0nerb0 Withdraws
Not Guilty Plea and Will
Be Sentenced.
MAY GET 80 YEARS;

Shot Young Man Because He
Married Without His
Consent.

Unmoyed and apparently Indifferent
as to his fate, vincenzo Buonerbo, the
slayer of Sabato d D'Alessio, retracted his
former plea of not guilty in the Court
of Oyer and Terminer today. and
pleaded non vult to murder in the
second degree. The extreme penalty
for the offense is practically life SEN

Buonerbo is So years old
He made his plea through Joseph
Federico. while Frank NJ. McDermit
and former Judge Thomas S. Henry.
his counsel, agreed to the action of
the court and prosecutor Judge Ten
Eyck, after saying that he saw no
reason why the plea should not be ac-
cepted, deferred sentence for two
weeks, when Mr. McDermit asked
leave for time so as to lay facts in
extenuation of the crime before the
court.
Buonerbo killed D'Alessio because he
had married his pretty daughter. Caro-
lima, when he. the father. had picked
out a man of more wealth. The slay-
in occurred August Is last in front
of S42 Chestnut street, a fruit store

had just left it, when Buonerbo,
who is bald-headed and has a little
black mustache, opened fire on him.
There was much excitement in the
courtroom after the case had been
disposed of among the rival adherents
of the families interested, but the
court officers managed to keep them
within bounds and fiery words merely
filled the circumambeant air.
Antonio D'Alessio. a brother of the
dead man, was particularly fierce. in
his denunciation, saying that Buonerbo
deserved DEATH and the widow as
loudly declared that he did not.
AS the party of Italians were leaving
the court room, Antonio D'Alessio was
heard to murmur sundry threats, and
among the things some of those who
were near him say he looked at his
sister-in-law and declared.
We'll. If they don't kill Buonerto. I
might as well kill YOU
The whole crowd was hustled into the
street.

BLUEFIELD, w. Va, Jan. 12.--As the
result of another fire-dnhip explosion
at the Lick Branch mine. at Switch
back, about twenty miles from here,
between 80 and 100 miners were
killed at s.30 o'clock this morning. The
number may be largely Increased, as
from ESQ to 900 miners were at work

tained shortly before noon how many

On December 2S last an explosion oc-
Cured in this mine, which, up to that
time, had been regarded as a model
mine. On that occasion the cause was
not ascertained, and the death list
reached fifty. The last body IN connec-

which the State mine inspectors de-
clared that the mine was again safe
and that work could be resumed.
The majority of the miners who were
engaged to resume work at the mine
were Americans. 1t was stated that
the mine was examined, early today,
before the new shift went to work,
and that it was reported to be per-
fectly safe. In spite of this, however,
soon after work was begun, the ex-
plosion occurred with death list that
will probably far exceed that of the
December explosion.
The mine is the property of the Po-
cohontas Consolidated Collieries Com
pany and is situated in the Tug river
district, territory that until the De-
cember explosion had been unusually
free from gas.

MIR. Congleton declared that the fail

it impossible to pay bills contracted by

Attractive Empire Combs

Empire combs have come back with
the empire coitfures. and in Paris and
London there has been a rage for the
genuine combs OF the period, very
high prices being paid in many cases
for the antiques. Even where the
stones used are not real gems. the de.
sign and workmanship often give real
value to these combs; but excellent re-
productions have been made from
many of the most attractive empire
designs, and these will content the
woman who does not care to spend
large sum upon an ornament which is
likely to be but a passing fad. Dealers
in antiques tell us. however. that they
have sold number of the genuine
old combs, chiefly in dull gilt and
pearls.-American Register. London.
