SEERESS GETS HERSELF
NAMED IN DIVORCE SUIT
Told Mrs. Brown Latters Husband
Was Untrue and Is Made
Correspondent.

POUGHKEEPSIE, N. Y, May "a
Mrs. Margaret N. Brown, OF Kingston,
in a suit for divorce brought against
her sixty-year-old husband. alleges
that while in this city on visit, a
fortune teller informed her that her
husband was untrue.
She remained in this city several
days, the story prayed on her mind
and she engaged a detective to fol-
low her husband. The detective
made a report, and in her complaint
she names the fortune teller as CO.
respondent
1t is said that neither the wife nor
the fortune teller knew the identity
of the other. Before Supreme Court
Justice Joseph Morschauser the fact
was brought out that Brown had not
entered any defense but admitted the
offense.
Mr.. and Mrs. Brown had family
troubles a few years ago. when they
signed separation papers in which he
paid her $1,000 on agreement to re-
lease all hold on him, but this lasted
only a short time and they began liv-
ing together again. He obtained a
position in this city while she re-
mained at Kingston. Brown visited
his home as usual. and there was no
further trouble until the wife came
here on an unexpected visit and con-
suited the fortune teller.

Change Date of Execution
From Next Thursday.

Levandowski, one OF seven Sing Sing
prisoners whose death has been set
for Thursday night, wrote today to
Warden Lewis II. Lawes asking him
to let him die Wednesday.
put my execution day ahead" he
wrote, "and let me die on May 28'
which is my twenty-sixth birthday"
He explained that he regarded his
birthday as the unluckiest day of his
life and thought his twenty-sixth
would be a more ftting time for his
death. Warden Lewis refused TO grant
the request, one reason being that
the Others whose death has been set
for Thursday have a superstitious OBJ
lection to any change in the plans.
Although seven are slated to die
Thursday and invitations are to be
sent out today, It is regarded as cer-
tain that reprieves will arrive for
four OF the men. These are James
Cassidy and his three sccomplices In
the tobbery and murder OF otto Fiala,
