Then suit was brought on the Dill and an or- der was secured from the court allow- ing the summons to be nalled to the door of her apartment. After this jude- ment was seoured by default, Mrs. Simpson continued to elude the process servers. The lawyers for the dressmaker learned that she had $20.00 on deposit with her attorneys, Board- man, Platt & Soley. At the request of the dressmaker’s counsel, Judge Bischoff issued an injunction prohibiting Mrs. Simpson from disposing of any of her property. Previous to this Mrs. Simpson had sent her horses and all other attachable property to Newport. It appears that she overlooked the $20,000.

Word of the action of Mr, Evans reached IReimling’s Music Hall, two blocks away, where the “Mayor of the Bowery" was holding forth three shows a day. The “Mayor of the Bowery" has just as much professional dignity as any other performer, and when he found that another on the bill was doing only two shows a day and that Mr. Evans had taken a firm stand, he likewise, took afirm stand. He stood outside the music hall all day telling his troubles, but he did not perform, WOMAN FOUND DEAD IN A HALLWAY.
