Lakes Nap on sIantIna Roof.

Henry Surman, a tinsmith, Of Bur
lington, N. j., naturally felt pretty
sleepy after he had workc.. for forty
hours without so much as a wink.
That was why he scared half hun
dred spectators and nearly spelled his
own destruction by selecting the edge
of a slanting roof as a couch.
Surman was working with several
other tinsmiths on the roof of a build
ing at Broad and Stacy streets. He
was doing some soldering along the
edge. and the job required him to
stretch out. In such a position he
dozed and his soldering iron rolled on
and nearly hit a pedestrian below.
For several minutes Surman slept.
Soon he began to get restless. 1t was
then that one Of the other workmen
saw his predicament from ten to tif-
teen feet away. He was afraid to yell
for fear the unconscious man might
start enough to roll him off. Also he
knew the worst might happen any
moment and mean not only the death
of the sleeper, but perhaps to some
body below.
Throwing a handful of gravel to the
navement to attract attention without
shouting. he waved and pointed in
wav that made those who looked un-
derstand the danger. They fell back in
hushed suspense, while the workman
Jobn Tilghman, worked his way along
the edge and erected a rescue.

The bullet struck the Bible, perfor-

hurled it at his assailants, who fed.
One of the men lost his hat, which the

panion.
The death of Melvin H. Couch, a
former district attorney of Sullivan
county, N. Y, revealed that, unknown
to his family and friends and to his
clients, woman had lived for three
years in a secret room connecting
with his law offices in Monticello, n.
Y. Couch was found lying dead on his
Office lounge.
Death was due to rupture of a blood
vessel near his heart. In the next
room crouched a frightened woman,
who admitted that she had seen him
die, but insisted that she was not re-
spOnsible for his death.
She said that she was Adelaide NJ.
Brance, of Goshen, N. Y, and that the
secret room had been her only home
for three years.
Mr.. Couch was sixty-ive years old,
and was formerly partner of Alton B.
Parker, Democratic nominee for the
presidency in 1904.
The door that led from the Office to
the living quarters of the woman was
always locked, and no one save Couch
and his companion passed through it.
She seldom left her quarters. Al
though Mrs. Couch was a frequent
visitor at the Office of her husband she
never suspected what the adjoining
room contained.
In the excitement attending the find
ing of Couch's body some one climbed
upon a chair and peered through the
transom into the secret room. There
he saw a woman huddled up on the
floor beside a plain iron bed Her
clothing was poor and ill-ftting, her
face had the look like that of a drug
user, and her disheveled hair was
streaked with gray.
The room she occupied was sparsely |
furnished, containing beside the bed
an old cook stove, a table and two
chairs. The woman, who is about
forty years old, said she had lived there |
voluntarily and had never gone out in
the daytime. At rare intervals she
went for a walk at night.
Mrs. Couch, who was present when |
the secret door was opened, tainted |
at the sight of the woman. After Ade-
aide Brance had been quieted and as
sured that no harm woud come to her,
she said:
81 came out of the room to waken
Mr.. Couch. who often slept in his of
flee. As soon as l saw him I knew he
was dead. l knew that Or. J. F. Cur
lette was his brother-in-law, and | tel
ephoned to him to come at once"
She said she met Couch three years
ago. when she called at his Office to
sell books. The lawyers friends re-
member that about this time he had
the room where she was found cut off
from his Office by heavy partition.
The woman was held on technical
charge, but the coroner's verdict as to
the cause of COuch's death supported
her assertion that she was not respOn-
sible. The attorney, she said, died of
a ruptured blood vessel on Sunday
morning. The autopsy brought the YER
dict that death was due to the break
ing Of the ascending aorta.
Mrs. Couch had not the slightest
idea of her husbands double life, nor
had his son or his daughter, said to
be engaged to a young professional
man of Monticello.
Mrs. Couch knew that her husband
had forbidden her the locked door in
his office, and that he often slept
there, alleging insomnia, but she had
no suspicious.
