his efforts with a few curt words.
Beyond saying he was sorry he could

was silent. But all his defiance and

CHOOSES DEATH
In THREE WAYS

New York, June 1S-The body of an
against continued life ny providing three
ways for death, was found under the
Happyland pier at South Beach. staten
Island, early this morning. He had cut
two arteries, attempted to strangle HIM
self, and had lashed himself to a pile
that would be twenty feet under water
when the tide crept in.
By a card, which was in the water
soaked pocket of the mans coat, he was
identified as Peter Brauhn, 7OS Bush
wick avenue, Brooklyn.
The body was found in a sitting posi-
ton, held In place by the strands of a
twenty-fiYe-foot clothes line. About the
throat a blue cotton handkerchief had
been noosed so tightly that the skin was
cut beneath the chin.
Both wrists were cut to the bone and
the arteries in each were severed. The
water that had come up about the body
and retreated some time after midnight
had washed away all traces of blood.
There was closed razor in a waistcoat
pocket
After having trussed himself up to be
drowned by the rising waters, Brauhn
must have severed the arteries Of his
left hand with the razor, then pulled
tight the knot about his neck with the
right hand, and, holding the razor in the
bound left hand, drawn the right wrist
across the blade.
The last act Of the mans deliberate
preparations for death was the folding
up of the razor. once used, and replacing
It in his waistcoat pocket.
At Brauhn's home, in Brooklyn, Moth
ing of the circumstances antecedent to
his death could be learned.

WIVES QUARREL
Peter Not Willing to Take
Sides in the Matter.

Pittsburg, Kans., June 1s.-The two
wives of Peter c. Sharp have quarreled
and each is contending that she alone is
the legal wife and is demanding that
the other go away. Peter has tried hard
to keep his wives from quarreling. He
wishes to keep them both and has not
taken sides with either one openly.
Sharp lost his first wife, Anna Gather
in, forty years ago. She was visiting in
Chicago then, and when the great fire
burned the city he went there to search
for her, but could not find her. For
forty years she hunted the country up
and down looking for him, and he was
travelling around looking for her.
At last, after forty years of search, she
found him through the Pension Office,
and she came from California to his
home here. Sharp then had another and
younger wife, whom he had married nine
years ago, supposing his first one to be
