BOLD BRIGANDS GATHER

Harry B~runckelhof, of 246 Sixth ave-

home in the gathering darkness when
they were confronted by two sinister
figures who ordered them to throw up
their hands. They obeyed the COM
mand without hesitation and with
shaking knees and chattering teeth
awaited furthed developments. The
brigands who appeared to be about
their own age, went carefully through
their pockets and extracted the
munificent sum of fourteen cents.

H~EARTBROKEN BY
DEATH OF WIFE
He HANGS SELF.
John Drumm Strangles Himself
With Cfothesline at 90
kOssuth Street.
BODY IS FOUND BY
MARRIED DAUGHTER
Had Recently Lost His Job,
Which Added to His De-
sp0ndency.

With all the happiness Of his twenty
five years of welded life changed to
despair by the death of his wife, John
Drumm concluded last night that he
had nothing more to live for and killed
himself in the cellar of his home, SO
Kossuth street.
His daughter, Mrs. Mary Amberg, and
a neighbor found him hanging at the
end of a %clothesline. He had gone to
the cellar several hours before and life
was extinct. Wondering at his pro-
longed absence the daughter began an
investigation after supper, and when
she knocked at the door of the dark
cellar without receiving a response,
called in a neighbor, and the two made
the CHASTITY discovery.
Drumm's wife died several months
ago. During the years of their married
life the couple had been devoted to
each other. Drumm courted his wife,
the daughter says, as he did before they
were married, and throughout their
circle of friends they were known as
s~weethearts.
When she died he became despondent
and repeatedly declared that he had
nothing more to live for. His depres-
sion was increased by h loss of his
employment in the Wertz Bottling
Company.
The funeral will be held tomorrow
afternoon from the house.

of the kidnapping Ross met the child
and told him that they were going to
meet his father in another town. The
boy did not realize what had happened
until he landed in this country.
The only clew thai the detectives
had to work on was a letter sent by
the boys family to Captain Carroll.
They had learned that Ross sister had

NO REVIEW OF
VERONA LEVY IS
!. TO Be ALLOWED
Court Refuses Certiorari Writ in
Matter OF Sidewalk AS
sessments.

On the ground that lineal frontage
sidewalk assessments had already been
declared constitutional by the Supreme
Court, Chief Justice Gummere, in the
Supreme Court circuit today, refused
to grant a writ Of certiorari reviewing
the action of the Mayor and Common
Council of Verona In placing such as
sessments against Arthur e. Hedden
and others for improvements along
Bloomfield avenue in that borough.
The application for review was made
several weeks ago and the court said
it was done with the evident intention
of having the Court of Errors and APP
peals pass eventually upon the o
s~titutionality of the law under which
the assessment was made. If the APP
plicants desire such review to the court
of last resort, the chief justice added,
they should make application to the
Supreme Court, sitting as a whole in
Trenton.
