WIFE OF SICkLES
STANDS BY HIM
Greater Love Hath No Man
Than That Shown In End For
Aged Warrior.

New York, Sept. 30.--Mrs. Daniel e.
SickIes, wife of the aged civil wal vet
eran, last night answered an open let
ter which General Sickles issued to
his cOmrades-in which he declared
reconciliation with her was impossible
by declaring that she would foreclose
q mortgage which h held on her nus
bands Fifth avenue home and evict
the general. ,
Mrs. Sickles recently paid and took
over an $4,000 Judgment against the
general under which q trust company
threatened to sell the old soldiers col
lection of curios and valuable per
sonal belongings. She also holds a
sac, 900 mortgage on his home.
Anger Gets Best Of Her.
II shall forecIose that mortgage, /
shall evict him." her statement says.
Will any mythical comrades whom
he quotes trust him with money to
live on?"
In his statement to his Comrades
and friends" General Slckles declared
that. although his wife recently pawned
her jewels to satisfy the judgment
against him, reconciliation with her
was impossible. They have been
%estranged for more than a quarter OF
a century.
Old Love Triumphs.
1T was not necessary for her. (Mrs.
Sickles) to pawn the jewels the
statement adds. She has an ample
fortune of her own and an army COM
rade had already arranged to satisfy
the judgment. She had it transferred
to herself, and she now has it and can
enforce it n time h may choose to
do So.
Later last night Mrs. Sickles changed
her attitude and relented, withdrawing
her threat to evict.
NO" she said. II shall not depose
the general. / will not take any legal
action against him. nor Will 1 harm
him in any way. After all, he is the
father OF my children and I bear his
name. I took the mortgage on the
house to protect him and for the same
reason I had the Judgment transferred
to me. No, ! do not wish to do any
thing to disturb him."

MODERN RAFFLES IS
TOO ACCOMMODATING
George Wilson, Who Escaped
From Tombs, Found Doing
Society Stunt At Beach.

New York, Sept. 30.-The exploits of
the fictitious Raffies pale into insig-
nificance in comparison with the acts of
George Wilson, gentleman burglar"
who escaped from the Tombs during
h summer and has just been recap
tured in Atlantic City.
Wilson went direct to the seaside
resort after his escape, where he soon
became a great fayorite. He Is an
excellent swimmer. an all around ath-
lete, he's good looking, far beyond the
average, q good conversationalist and
wlthal possesses a charm Of name
which women describe as Irresistible"
MIST Romantic Miss.
A waek or so ago Wilson met Miss
Anna Price, q young and beautiful
heiress. He lavished all the pleasures
OF Atlantic City upon her.
During one OF the dinners to which
Wilson treated Miss Price h opened
h discussion OF burglars. Influenced
nc doubt by the newspaper reports that
only q night or two before gems TO
the value OF $4,000 had been stolen
from the home Of Walter Klein. Phila-
delphia banker.
"Oh. I do wish / could some day
see q real, e-enough BURGER" she
exclaimed.
Wilson smiled.
Maybe you'll get your wish some
day--soon," he said. ... .....
Close to midnight Wilson took her
to her, home in the fashionable Sec
ton Of Atlantic City, bade her good
bye, strolled around the block for a
few moments, donned his mask, ex-
amined his revolver and then broke
into the Price apartment. Wilson had
learned, through casual QueDlioning,
that the girl owned about $1,000 worth
OF diamonds.
Gets Her Diamonds.
II want your diamonds" he said to
the terrified girl, as he leveled the re-
volver al her head, n flashed the
rays OF his pocket lamp into her face.
The girl attempted to scream for
help. Wilson silenced her. He again
demanded her Jewels. She pointed to
a little jewel "a where Wilson found,
only a few hundred dollars worth.
Il want all of them-where are the
others" he Missed.
The girl finally was able to explain
that her sister had borrowed the other
diamonds that evening, n with q
muttered curse, Wilson Jumped through
the window which he had entered, and,
after removing his mask. sauntered
back to his hotel.
Hardly had he reached there than
he was called to the phone. 1t was
the voice OF the hysterical Miss Price
at the other end.
Hears of Own Exploit.
"Oh George. George!" she cried,
I've been robbed. A burglar broke
into our lat and took my Jewels. What
shall l. do?"
Wilson Gained her with a honeyed
speech and told her to get a few hours
sleep and to join him at breakfast. She
did. She told Wilson every detail about
the robbery and finally said:
What would you advice me to do?"
Call a policeman" said Wilson.
She followed his advice, the police
came, listened to her story, while Wit
son sat calmly by filling in the lit
tie details which she forgot in her ex-
element. .
IT want you to make every effort to
catch this burglar" said Wilson.
Further efforts would be useless"
replied the police, who had recognized
in Wilson Of Atlantic City the es-
capped Wilson of New York. We've

The murder theory is the only one
given any credence by the officers. The
bodies were mutilated as we'll as

young were large holes, evil

The bodies OF Mr.. and Mrs. Pfan-

That Pfanschmidt was h object Of
the murderer's assault and that the
other three occupants of the house

theory of the officers. Pfanschimdt
was not accustomed to have one in
his house and there is but little belief
that the motive Of the crime was

HOPE FOR PEACE BUT ARE
PREPARED FOR EMERGENCY

BelfaSt, ireland, Sept 3O.-Ihe sing
ing OF the national anthem by a crowd
Of 5000 persons comprising everybody
representative of Belfast's great indus
trial, mercantile, civil and religious
community last night brought to a
close a great anti-home rule meeting
in Ulster nall amid a fervor which was
not equaled even by the anti-home rule
convention of 1892. The meeting re-
newed the adoption of the resolution
passed at that convention protesting
against a home rule parliament for
Ireland.
In comparison with the demonstra-
tions held elsewhere during the past
week the absence of talk OF armed re-
sistence was noticeable. Also there
was less display of the military spir-
1t today in Belfast. The day, however,
gave q remarkable illustration OF VI
ster's determination not to accept
home rule, expressed in an orderly and
enthusiastic manner which can hard
ly fall to provide the government with
food for serious reflection.
Irish Officers Predominats.
The Weekly Outlook makes the
startling announcement hat one-third
of the officers in the British army are
Irishmen, that ove 80 per cent. OF
them are Union protestants and that
they are now considering how to resign
their commission In order to lead III
ster in arms against home rule.
Lord Londonderry In opening the pro-
ceedtngs said the determination of the
Unionists Of Ulster to oppose home
rule never had been more significantly
shown than In the campaign which
was Just closing. Those who signed
the covenant he declared would abide
by 1t at all hazards.
Premier Asquith and John Red
mond Cloud hooting) will learn from
It," continued Lord Londonderry, that
Ulster Is not bluffing. The covenant
VIII be something that they cannot
ignore.
Many letters from prominent Union
LIST leaders were read. expressing SYM
pathy with the objects of the meet
ing.
