HER HOTEL BILLS

Coast While Husband Was
in Panama.

Jose J. Ramos, a wealthy exporter,
who was arrested last week charged
with threatening TO kill Mrs. Evelyn

Mrs. Rosenberg is the wife of
Samuel Rosenberg, lace importer, and
lives at the Hotel Claridge. Dressed
in fashionable blue serge suit, with a
white fur thrown across her shoulders
and wearing a many colored straw hat,
she told her story in a voice so low
that the magistrate asked her several
times TO speak louder.
Since her marriage on February %,
she said, Ramos had made several un-
successful attempts to make appoint
ments with her. On the afternoon of
July % she saw him at Times Square
in an automobile, and he told her he
had a letter from her mother which
he would not give her unless she &C
companied him to restaurant
u went with him." Mrs. Rosenberg
continued, land when we got to the
place Ramos said he was going to keep
me away from my husband. He had a
gun in his hand and said there were
six cartridges in it which would put me
away. / begged him not to do anything
rash.
