ES1RANCED WIFE
RESCUESSICKLES
Pawns Her Jewels to Save Gen
eral From Being Sold Out by
the Sheriff.

New York. Sept. 13.-General Dan
iel E. Sickles' wife pawned her jewels
yesterday and used the money to pay
tie SS,066 which her husband owed to
the Lincoln Trust company
So the forced auction of the furni-
ture and keepsakes and Civil war COM
missions signed by Abraham Lincoln,
which was to have been held tomor-
row. is off.
Mrs. Sickles and her husband are
not now on good terms. They sep
arated not long after their marriage in
Madrid in 1871, and have been estrang-
ed most of the years since then. But
when Mrs. Sickles learned last week
that the general, who is Sc years OF
age, was about to be sold out by the
sheriff, she resolved to help him.
In pawning her jewels and saving
to the general his possessions in the
home at % Fifth avenue she had no
other motive than making her hus-
band happy, according to Ralph Wolf,
attorney for General Sickles.
Since coming to this country in
1908, after the death of her Spanish
mother, Mrs. SickIes has lived at the
Brevoort house, adjoining that of Gen.
eral Sickles, and owned by him, and
more recently in an apartment hotel
on West Eighth street with her son,
George Stanton Sickles.
| At noon today Mrs. Sickles set
forth on her mission TO relieve the
embarrassed general. She and her
son went first to the Knickerbocker
Trust company. There Mrs. Sickles
opened her safe deposit box and drop
ped into her handbag 10 pieces of
jewelry.
Then mother and son walked to Nc
Aleen's pawnshop on Sixth avenue and
Thirty fifth street. Henry McAleen
knew they were coming. The visit
was arranged three days ago. The
lawyers for General Sickles and the
Lincoln Trust company knew some
thing about it, too.
Mrs. Sickles laid the contents OF
her satchel before Mr.. McAleen. She
seemed to think she would be able to
redeem her pledges in good time. AS
she handed the pawnbroker diamond
and sapphire bracelet she observed to
her son:
THAT was a present from the gen
eral."
-Sicklas. little excursion ended
az the Offices of the Lincoln Trust com
pany. There she paid $s,066 to Vic'
President Webb and got receipt ack
nowledging that the Judgment hat

costs and accepted only the principa
and interest of the generals indebt
edness.
