Grief Over a Child’s Death Destroys Mrs. Sticker’s Reason, Officer Knocker, of the Clymer street station, Willlamsburg, had a lively fight with a mad woman on a roof at 3 o'clock this morning. John Sticker, his wife and three chil- dren live in a three-story house at 186 Middleton street, A few weeks ago one of the children, a boy of fifteen, died suddenly. Since then the mother gave evidence of being mentally unbalanced, About 1.90 o'clock this morning Mr. Sticker was aroused by a noise in his room and awoke in time to see his wife, fully dressed leaving their apartment. Before he could arise, however, she was gone. Bticker reported the case to the police of the Sixteenth Precinct, and officers on post were ordered to keep a sharp lookout for the woman. Nothing was heard of her, however, until 8 o'clock A. M., when Policeman Knocker w: surprised to see a shoe drop on the pavement. It was followed by a hat, shawl and a pair of gloves. Knocker went up through the bullding Whence these things came, and finally clambered to the roof. The first person he saw was Mrs, Sticker, only half dressed. The woman seized the officer and endeavored to throw him to the street, as she had done with her cloth- ing. The policeman and the woman fought over the roof for nearly ten minutes, when the husband and some of ti neighbors appeared and took the crazy woman away with them, It is probable some time to-day she will be sent to a private asylum, —_—— ANOTHER BIG BRIDGE SOON.
