DISARMED AFTER A STRUGGLE H. M. BENSON CREATES A SCENE IN A LODGING HOUSE. He Attempted to Shoot a Woman for Whom He Left His Wife and Three Young Chil- dren. H. M. Benson, a real estate agent, is locked up in the City Prison with a charge of disturbing the peace recorded against | him. as his wife, Benson last evening placed a loaded revolver in his pocket and started out with the avowed determination of killing her. Learning that she was stop- ping in a lodging-house at 118 Sixth street, Benson invaded her apartments, but was prevented from making her a subject for the Coroner by the night clerk, who had followed him to the room and disarmed him just as he was in the act of shooting his helpless victim. A policeman was at | once summoned and he placed the mur- | derous real estate agent under arrest. The woman whose life Benson sought is | named Ellen Maloney. According to her story he was married to her sister, by | whom he had three children. The faith- | less Ellen subsequently appeared on the scene and he fell madiy in love with her, His wife, learning thit he was infatuated with her sister, severely upbraided him. | The following day Benson bade his wife | and children adieu and took up his abode | with the er in the lodging-house on | Sixth str | . A short time afterward, suspecting that | the woman was untrue to him, the love- ;smmen real estate agent attempted to | | | | end his miserable existence by swallowing a quantity of morphine. He was found in a semi-conscious condition and removed to the Recelving Hospital, where he soon recovered. Since then, he claims, he has | received ‘corroborativé evidence of the | unfaithfulness of Ellen and he determined | to kill her and then blow out his brains. | _“She has wrecked my life,” declared Benson, after he had been taken to the City Prison. “I am sorry that they pre- vented me from killing her. | my home under the pretense of being a friend and soon stole my heart. After I deserted my wife and babies .I realized I had made a mistake. I was madly in love with her and when I learned that she was recelving the attentions of other men I attempted to commit suicide. “I fully made up my mind to kill her and then commit suicide,” he tearfully remarked to Desk Sergeant Bidwell. God, why did they stop me! I borrowed the revolver from a friend, and after ex- amining it to make sure that it was all right 1 went to her apartments intending to murder her and then blow out my brains. which she was seated the clerk, who evi- dently divined my purpose, took the re- volver from me. ! “I will kill her yet!” dramatically con- | cluded Benson, as he was being led into a cell. “She has ruined my life and@ must pay the nenalty.

O'Maloney, 31 Broadway, swore to a complaint in acting Police Judge Barry’s court yesterday for the arrest of John Flinn on the charge of obtaining money by false pretenses. January 28 Flinn call- ed upon O'Maloney and said he was the owner of four horses and a wagon and he had traded one of the horse: Maher, but needed $13 to carry out the trade.

Science has to-day furnished proofs | that all the purifying that your blood | needs, in fact, all that can be must be done by your kidneys. All through your kidneys once every three minutes. The kidneys strain or filter out the impurities in the blood—that work. Purifying your blood is not a question of taking a laxative or physic. Does your. blood run through your bowels? What the bowel-cleaner does is ‘to throw out the poisons confined in your bowels ready for absorption into your blood, but the poisons which are al- ready in your blood, causing your pre ent sickness, it leaves there. There is no other way of purifying your blood except by means of your kidneys. That is why bowel-cleaners fail to do their work—they fail to help the kid- neys. When you are sick, then, no matter what you think the name of your dis- ease is, the first thing you should do is to afford aid to your kidneys by us- ing Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great Kidney Remedy.
