Idleness and Drunkenness Lead to
the Suicide of Michael
Heidi.

When process server put a dis
possess notice in the hands of Michael
Heidi in his squalid fiat at No. 26S
West One Hundred and Seventeenth
street yesterday the cup OF Heidt's
trouble overlooked. His wife and
eleyen-year-old daughter. Elizabeth.
had left him two weeks ago because
of his idleness and constant drunken
ness; his money was gone; nothing re-
mained in the fiat to be pawned.
Early to-day Elizabeth came down
to the nat from her temporary home
on upper Eighth avenue to see her
father. She could not get In and she
could get no answer to her knocking.
So the child went out on the street
and told a policeman she feared her
father was In trouble. The policeman
returned and climbed into the apart
ment through a rear window.
He found the body of Heidi hanging
from six inches of rope that was tied
to q stout hook in the kitchen wall.
His feet were only few inches from
the floor. 1t was evident that he had
slowly stranged to death.
The policeman cut the body down
and little Elizabeth ran in terror to
where her mother was to tell her the
dreadful thing she had seen.

SICK TENANTS EXEMPT FROM
LEVY OR EVICTION.

No distress for rent nor execution for
a Judgment debt may be levied upon the
goods OF an insured person. nor may
proceedings be taken to eject him from
his house, II the doctor attending him
has given a certificate to the effect that
such action would be likely to endanger
his life.
However. the reasonable rights OF
landlords are carefully safeguarded.
Such certificate must be renewed by
the doctor each week. and after one
month the person whose interests are
adversely affected by 1t may have It set
aside, unless security Is given for pay
ment OF future rent, or for the amount
OF the judgment debt. In any case 4,
cannot be extended for more than three
months from the date on which 1t was
originally granted.
The certificate does not destroy the
landlords right to rent nor does Il In
any way authorize the tenant to live
rent free. 1t merely postpones the land.

Of a few weeks rent until the SICK
tenant has to some extent. but not
necessarily completely regained his
health. When the certificate expires, the
landlord may claim or levy distres,

tire scheme Is to provide money, doctor
