constantly reminded them that they had
done a terrible thing and made desperate
efforts 10 persuade the young woman to
return to her former husband, even after

death.

Regina apartments was emphasized yester-
day. when a representative Of the instalment

lien upon some OF the furniture. Young
Noble had been without steady employment
for some time, and it developed that his
wife had recently called upon her former
husband for financial assistance. After he
lost his position with a Broadway concern,
following the clopement, Noble tried his
hand for a time at selling a patent tele-
phone extension. lie had circulars printed
