When the men were arraigned Car
bone said through an Interpreter that
he knew nothing Of the bomb plot

entirely innocent. Last night the police

wealthy men were to be killed ant
banks were to be looted.

CHANGES HER MIND
and ASKS DIVORCE
Mrs. Ida VI. FrOelich Finally
Decides Reconciliation
Is Impossible.

Mrs. Ida NJ. FroelIch got an inter
locutory decree of divorce from Albert
j. Froeiich. a broker. more than two
years ago and has been trying ever
since to decide whether she really
wanted her matrimonial bonds severed
through the granting OF a fnal decree.
She has Just submitted a petition to STU
preme Court Justice Page In which she
said that she has come to the conclusion
that the family cannot he reunited and
that it would be better TO have a final
decree entered.
In her petition Mrs. Froelicn said
she got the interlocutory decree from
Justice Giegerich on January 9, l9t2,
which gave her the custody Of her son
Robert, then IA years old. She left at
once for the home OF her parents in
California, but they were opposed to he-
action on account OF the effect II might
have on her son and Mrs. Froelich saws
she wasn't sure of her own final de-
SIRE" so she did not instruct her atto--
ney to apply for a Anal decree.
Since then she has returned TO New
York and while living alone here has
decided that there can be no reconcilil-
ton. Because of the failure TO apply
for the NAL decree within the required
time after the interlocutory decree was
signed Mrs, Froelich had to apply for
permission to get IL.
Tit couple were married in 1899 and
the divorce suit was brought on the
ground OF misconduct in August. 1912,
