FAMILIES HOME
Summer Widowers Decide
Weather Cool Enough-FaIl
Suits Appear.

Come on back home, the weather's
fine" is the substance Of kilograms that
Washington's summer widowers" be-
gan to frame today to be dispa tched to
the folks at mountain and seashore re-
sorts.
The weather man asserts this remark
able weather will continue at least for
a couple Of days, and II may be the fore
runner of an extended cool spell.
Fall suits were again comfortable in
early morning hours today, and blankets
were brought out last night as WASH
ingtonians prepared for bed. Sleeping
porches were abandoned and electric
fans about apartments and homes were
disconnected. The weather was cool
enough to suit even the fat men.
The change In the temperature,
however, was welcomed by many
summer widoweYs" who have been
seeking an excuse to bring the fam
lily back to town. Somehow families
have an idea they must go ap in the
mountains or down to the beach to
enjoy the summer. but when n real
lonely husband can send temperature
figures Under 70 the family hasn't
an excuse left.
If this pleasant weather continues
and II Is not improbable that It will
last for several days. absent ones
will begin to return to poor old
dad" and the weather man will be
praised by the lonely fellows who
are sitting dejectedly about club
rooms these days and nights

Convicted, Hurls
Shoe at Accuser
New York Tailor, Sentenced to
Chair, Thinks Poverty
Caused Verdict.

NEW YORK, Aug. 1S.-Hyman Lieb-

Sadie. by throwing her from a fire es-
cape at his home 7S East Ninety eighth
street, on March II last was sentenced
by Judge Wadhams yesterday to die in
the electric chair in the week beginning
September 27.
Before sentence was pronounced ,Lieb-
man upset the quiet of the courtroom
by throwing one Of his shoes at Charles
ton Society.
Zusner was accused by Liebman of
being responsible for his plight, having
brought him back from Texas. to which
State he fled after being ordered by the
court to pay his wife and children SO
month. The shoe struck Zusner un-
wound.
Liebman. who had been examined by
alienists and found sane. guessed what
sentence the court would impose. and
lie said he knew the verdict was going
to be against him. because he was a
poor man. II he had money. he said.
he. could have got the jury to declare
on September 1s. his birthday. when he
will be thirty,-eight years old:
Judge Wadhams denied this request,
and after fixing the date Of the execu-
ton. he directed that Lehman be taken
to Sing Sing at once. Lehman admit
ted that he killed his child, and said
ne intended to kill his five-yei. "-old son.
Samuel, whom he also threw Off the
fire escape. The boy will be crippled
for life as a result of his injuries.
Lehman gave as a reason for getting
rid Of tho children that he could not
give them good home and did not
want to see them grow up in poverty.
An appeal will be taken from the ver-
dict of the court.
