NEGRO LAD YIELDS
TO MUSICAL LURE
TO STEAL sTRAD'
Baffled by Stolen Fiddle, He
Proceeds to His Own
Undoing.

George Rattalls, a violent passion for
clothesman and November 13 make a
foreboding combination when mixed in
the right proportions.
At least Rattalls, who is a little
negro shaver, thinks SO, in spite of the
fact that he barely missed going to
jail by being just three days under Is
years.
When Rattalls, who resides at 115
Halsey street, saw Gustave Rederman's
violin, he became possessed with an
inordinate longing to become a musi-
clan. Then on November 10 he broke
into Rederman's home, stole the treas
ured 'Strad" and departed hastily into
the night with the fiddle tucked beneath
his coat.
He hurried home, tried to play and
found that the "Strad' only uttered
squawks and dissonances in spite Of
all his wiles. Whereupon he took the
fiddle in disgust to a secondhand store
in Academy street and sold 1t for
money to buy a h~armonicon.
He was wheedling the stirring strains
of Way Down South in Dixie from
it when P1ainclothesman Sebold. OF
the Fourth, arrested him.
"Sholy yo don't want me-" he quav-
cred. "Yo let me 60. 1t IA thirteen
and ma name what lone it,. Ma name
am Rattalls, and when 1 hooked that
there fiddle Use was just ratified"

1t all started when Mile. Trentini,
recently arrived from abroad, an
nounced that she and Caruso were to
wed. Caruso himself, happening along
later, used a lot of uncomplimentary
talk in branding the yarn as untrue.
Whereupon Trentini retorted in kind.
An interviewer. quizzing the made
moselle in Chicago, found two photo
graphs side by l upon her dressing
table. One was of her, the other OF
the famous tenor. Clutching the pic

WEDDING BELLS
RING As BRIDAL
PAIR DIE IN Gas
Girl and Fiance Perish in What
Was to Have Been Their =
Home.

CHICAGO, Nov, 1.-THE bells al
Holy %Innocents Church were rung to
announce thu approaching marriage of
Frank Mycek to Stella Gera. They
were in reality sounding the docth-knell
of the two, for across the street Mycek
and Miss Gera were being slowly as
phyxiated in what was to be their
future residence, at 1414 West Superior
street. Owing to the changing of the
bells they were unable to make their
cries for help heard.
The couple had paid I. visit to the
house earli.r in re day to make things
ready for the wedding feast. Their
bodies were discovered by Adolph My
eek and Miss Stepka CHA, who had
called to take the bride and bridegroom
to the church.
Forcing their way into the room, they
found the bodies lying near the thresh-
old, where the victims had vainly tried
to get air. Gas was pouring from a
leak in a corner of the room.
The key had been twisted almost
double by Mycek nj Miss Gera in
their frenzied efforts to unlock the door.
The girls bridal veil was c1utched
tightly in her hands. and pieces of a
chair and battered walls showed how
the prisoners had tried to attract at
tention.

immensely wealthy gold mine at Por-

the bank he carried a wicker suit

reform and a mask made out of a colS
ored handkerchief.
In court today Hamilton looked far
from the athlete he claimed to be
when arrested. His face was covered
with a straggly bunch of black whis-
kers while he sat hunched up in a
chair with his face in his hands. APP
parently he paid no attention to what
was going on around him.

but the Board of Trade. which body
made some objections to the bill, with
the result that it was referred to the

mother home, Louis Troutman, 20
years old, fell across the street car

something about the shooting. Young
Troutman was removed to a hospital,
