COP ARRESTS
MAN ON ROOF
Musician Accused of Bigamy
BY Young Bride.

Steven Bensi, twenty-three years
old, a musician, is under arrest on a
charge Of bigsmy preferred by his
wife, who was formerly Miss Jennie
Siligy, of 8s1 state street. The
young woman charges that Bensi has
two wives in Hungary, which is the
native land Of both. The man was
arrested by Patrolman Hartung last
night on a warrant issued by Justice
W. A. Housed, Of New Brunswick, a
constable being detailed from that
court to bring the warrant to this
city.
Tried TO Hide from Of1cer.
When Officer Hartung went to the
house after Bensi he was told that
the man was not at home. The
complaining wife, who was with the
officer, insisted that he must be
around and q search was made.
Bensi was finally located on the roof
in the rain behind a skyIight. He
accompanied the officer to police
headquarters without making any
disturbance. Many offers to go the
mans bail soon came in from differ
ent Hungarian citizens in the city,
some volunteering as much as $1,000
II that would secure his freedom.
Ball could not be taken by the local
police, however, as it was only
through courtesy TO the New Bruins
wick court that they were holding
Bensi, not through any jurisdiction
over him.
Victim of Misrepresentation.
Local authorities are OF the i'm
preston that Bensi is the victim OF
Misrepresentation. Recorder H. w.
Kehoe, who married the couple on
March 16, was approached by the
wife and asked to issue a warrant
for the husbands arrest and was re-
fused. The recorder is of the i'm
preston that Benst was migrepre-
scented by the interpreter who acted
for Bensi at the time of his mar
rfage. AS circumstances have turned
out, he now believes that Bensi knew
little OF the tmporta, : of his mar
riage ceremony as 1t as being per
formed and he believes that the
interpreter, with the wife's knowl-
edge, misrepresented Bensi. Bensi
would not live with his wife longer
than a day oil so after the marriage,
although he contributes TO her sup
port, it is understood.
May Be After Revenge.
After living apart from her for
about a month, the wife has now
brought bigamy charges, apparently,
in the minds of local authorities, for
the sake of getting back at Bensi for
leaving her. Chief Burke stated
last night that he would not have
allowed his officer Il serve the war
rant had he connected the case with
that which Recorder Kehoe had re-
fused 10 act on.
Bensi has been playing in an or
chestra conducted by his wife's
father. He only arrived in this
country a few months ago. II is
said that he was practically forced
into the marriage.

POPULARJUDCE
0N|SLAND DEAD
Judge Stephens Observed
Goth Birthday Yesterday.
;peciaI By United Press Wire.

Specin! 0p UH7teQ PTeSS WHe.
New York, April 2O:-stephen D.
Stephens, for thirty years county
judge Of Richmond county, died at
his home in New Brighton, S. l. His
term of service was the longest Of
any county judge in the history of
New York state.
Yesterday was the s~ixty-sixth an
niversary of his birthday. During
his sickness of several weeks he has
been the object of much solicitude
and well deserved sympathy, and he
has had periods when his condition
was better than others and GONZALES
cence might have been predicted.
Native Staten Islander.
Judge Stephens was born at Rich
mond, where his family resided for
many years and made themselves
very useful in furthering good OBJ
jects. They were connected with St.
Andrews P. E. church, where Judge
Stephens's father served for a long
period as a member of the vestry.
His business habits as a merchant
caused him to be a valuable help to
the causes which were under the
direction of that body. 1t is worthy
of mention that the Judge, then
Stephen D.. acknowledgements
his father in the office in question
and held the position during the
eighties and from~1905 up to yester-
day, when he was again reelected.
His education and experience fitted
him to aid in-earrying on the I'm
portant duties to be attended in the
best manner and to the satisfaction
of all concerned. Mrs. Stephens also
gave much valued attention to the
musical department of the church,
and was an efficient worker in other
directions.
United Twenty-seyen Years Ago.
Judge Stephens was married on
April IT, twenty-seven years ago, to
Miss Agnes I. Lasar, daughter Of
Sigismund Lasar, professor OF music
at Packer Institute, N. Y. The
clergymen officiating were the late
Rev. DR.. Richard S. Storrs, of the
Church Of the Pilgrims, Brooklyn,
and the late Rev. Dr.. Thomas S.
Yocum, rector of st. Andrews
church, Richmond.
Since the marriage the Judge and
his good wife have resided most of
the time at New Brighton, but have
been faithful IN the performance of
all duties required Of them at their
old church home at Richmond. They
have also heartily engaged In much
work of a benevolent character in
the vicinity of their residence. This
has been Of great service to the
people at large as well as to those
sought to be benefited.
His Tremendous Popularity.
In 1873 Mr.. Stephens was elected
to the state assembly on the Demo-
cratic ticket and reelected the fol-
lowing year. In 1881 he vas elected
county Judge and surrogate by a
large majority: in 1887 he was re-
elected without opposition; six years
later he was again elected without
opposition and at all the other cleo
lions held since when such offices
were voted for he has been chosen by
large matorities.

SETTLE WITH
FIRST WIFE
Mrs. Hult May Take Money
Offered Her.

Frederick i. Gilbert, representing
Louis HUT, alleged bigamist, is un-
derstood to be in this city today
making a cash settlement with Mrs.
Matilda HUT, of 2SO Davidson ave-
nue., wife No. 1, in reorganization OF
her claims upon HUT, which were
recently thrown out OF the New York
courts as outlawed.
1t is understood that HUT is offer
ing his first wife 500 down and $50
every three months to give up all
claims upon him. Mrs. HUT, wife
No. /, has been advised by her
friends here to accept the offer, as
the law cen to be able to do little
for her. She is bringing up four
children, the oldest of whom is about
eighteen and the youngest ten years
of age.
Mrs. HUT recently went to Cedar
hurst, L. l., where HUT is living
with wife No. 2. Rather than have
her annoying him, although he now
as no fear of the law interfering,
HUT agreed to make a settlement
with her. Mrs. Hult received word
in a communication a few days ago
that Counsellor Gilbert would be
here today to make the settlement
1t is understood that HUT is pre-
pared to put up bonds for the carry
ing out Of his agreement.
The local Mrs. Hult is now self.
supporting, although following
Hult's desertion of her eleven years
ago she had to depend on the assist
ance of neighbors for a time.
