 In 1906 Coroner Clifford B Wilson elected an al coroner = In July 1, 1907 he was appointed a member of 9 committee to revise the building laws of the city.
 It was supposed that this committee would work as such committees have done, for the honor of the city and their own.
 The matter paltered along for months.
 Finally code emerged. 1t was freely said that Al derman Wilson had done the work upon it.
 An examination of the code showed that 1t was hodge podge of codes of other cities.
 Thousands of words of itthe greater part-had been sheared verbatim from the Underwriters Code and from the Code Adopted by the City of Cleveland. These facts fully exhibited by the Farmer than year ago.
 An examination this morning of bills paid by the city auditor disclosed startling fact

Her Husband Who Refused to Help Her, a Nephew and a Boarder Found Dead With Her - Gas Poisoning the Cause

Without my boy. life Is worth nothing to me. If my husband doesn't help me get my boys freedom, I'll kill him.
 That is the statement that City burt Interpreter August M. Brill said today Mrs. Annie Marcharick made in the corridor outside the city court room on Thursday morning last when her husband wouldn't help her save her son by former marriage from commitment to the State Reform School,
 Today in the undertaking parlors of Funeral Director Pistey in Reilly street there are four bodies: John Harcharick, the husband; Annie Har- charick; her nephew, John Prevusnak, and a bCarder, John Kepesar.
 Medical Examiner Garlick made a careful examination of the circum- stances, and he was not willing to say that the deaths of the three were de- liberate murder on the part of the grief stricken woman, Coroner Will son is examining into the circum- stances.
 City Court Interpreter Brill says that he remonstrated with the wo- man when she threatened her. hus- band. q don't care if they hang me- she replied to Brilfs arguments. T might as we'll be dead as be with out my boy"
 The court committed the boy despite his mothers wild protests.
 While the authorities are loath to believe that the asphyxiation of the three men was premediated murder, they cannot avoid the opinion that Mrs. Harcharick carried out her threat and that the death of the others with her was the result.
 Theodore Dralus, living on the floor below, smelled the gas and discovered the dead. A wide-open valve, where meter had formerly been placed, was pouring a flood of gas into the house. Dra1us shut off the gas and sum- moned assistance, but the four were stone dead and had been so for some time
 Mrs. Harcharick's son, Peter Per- halla. aged 15, son by a former mar riage, was arraigned in the city court last Thursday on the charge of in corrigibility. During his trial his mother made such scene that Judge Frank l.. Wilder was obliged to or der her from the court room. She objected strongly to this, and the eject her forcibly.
 'sYou take my son away from me- 2 she screamed in Hungarian, "and I will kill myself"
 The boy was convicted of a number of petty thefts and was committed to the Connecticut State school for boys at Meriden. When the court inter- preter informed Mrs. Harcharick of her sons sentence, she broke down and repeatedly sobbed that she would kill herself if her boy were taken away Her husband refused to take an appeal from the courts decision and she became hysterical.
 Young Parhalla was sent to the Re form School and the authorities thought no more of the incident until the discovery of the tragedy.
 A double funeral of husband and wife will be held at Pisteys undertak- ing parlors at g o'clock tomorrow morning. and at 9:50 the funeral of the boarder, Kepesar. will be held at St. Johns Greek Catholic church. The remains of the nephew are held awaiting word from other relatives
