Schatchen Made the Match. This story of a commercial marriage, ® Jealous wife, conspiracies and the plot is beat told by Brandels himself. “On Feb, 21 last," he sald to an Even- ‘ng World reporter to-day, ‘Miss Ray Rosenbloch, just nineteen years old, came to this city trom Winnipeg, where her father is a wholesale grocer. Her family sent her here to get married. She knew no one and she employed a wchatchen, or a professtonal match- maker. This woman—the match-maker —knew ef me and brought the girl around and introduced her. We liked each other and agreed to marry. She 4nformed her father, who sent on her dowry of. $2,000, and we were married ‘on March 7, just two weeks after the rst meeting. “I then established this dental office fand she entered an uptown detrital wehool. But she was of an exception- ally jealous disposition, She found fault ‘with every woman who came to my office. She created several scenes in the ‘office and three weeks after our mar- riage I told her to get out. Then she swent to board with « woman at No. 298 East Third street, Until last August I sent her regularly $7 each week.

Husband Makes Affidavit, “I ran to the street,‘and the next ‘minute I saw Young and Nathan come running out as though frightened, and make their way up the street.” Brandels then took the three informers to his lawyer and they made this afmi- davit: “I reside at No, 185 Bast Nincty-thir street, Now York’ City and that on thi |day between 12 and 1 o'clock P.

Her husband, Anton, keeps a dhy goods store on the ground floor, He and his wife arose at 5 o'clock and prepared brealofast. ‘Then the man sat down in an arm chair and his wite lay down on a lounge with her head resting on his knee, They both fell asleep and when the man awoke and asked. his wife to get him @ cup of coffee, he found she was dead.

Magistrate Mayo listened to a case in Jefferson Market Court to-day thet was full of @ tangle of human lives—bigamy contracted by a man and woman, each with the knowledge that the other was married, a story of forgery by the hus- ‘band of one of the women, and an ex- posure of plot and counterplot. ‘The men in the case are John Folsey, walking delegate of the Carpenters’ Union, and William Virtue, now serving @ term in the Hudson County jail. The women are Mrs. Folsey, who also be- came Mrs, Virtue, and the first and only legal Mra. Virtue, The man who juggled with checks could not attend. His engagement in jail prevented. Folsey had his wife arrested on a charge of bigamy, but when she ap- peared in court to-day he had a chango of heart and was about to destroy the evidence of her alleged guilt when the Magiairate interposed. After saying that he bad no case against his former wife he and Mrs. Folsey-Virtue started ‘out of the court-room. ‘Phen Mrs. Virtue No. 1 appeared and told her story, Ghe asked the Magis- trate to see that justice was done; that the woman be punished for stealing the affections of her husband, and then wept that revenge had not come sooner. Five Children, Too, Mrs, Virtue No. 1 was married to William Virtue in 1891 and has five chil- dren, the oldest of whom ts eleven, The Virtues lved at No, 63 Chalmers street and the Folseys two blocks away. They were dear friends. Mrs, Folsey, soon after her graduation from convent, was taken right into the heart of the Virtues and her affairs became ites.’ She was @ mere child pretty, bright and gay. Virtue, fascinated by the archness and piquancy of Mrs. Folsey, began to show more than a passing Interest in the women, He occastonally showed atte tions that provoked Mr. Folsey's objec- tions and words of censure from his own wife, But Virtue did not heed either. After a time Mrs. Folsey went to Long Branch for a visit and Virtue saw her at that summer resort. Mrs, Virtue No. 1 discovered it, and for a time affairs were unpleasant. But tirat (Mscovery was nothing to one that came later. “Last February Virtue is alleged to have married Mrs, Folsey n Fordham. Then Folsey discovered ‘the alleged duplicity of his wife and took thelr child, a beautiful girl two years old, to his home. x It was on Feb, 2 that Mr: said to have become Mrs. After Virtue was arrested and se: jail his second wife was forced :0 wo for a family in Arlington, Folsey lured her to New York and had her arrested here ‘The woman says she came over to see her child, the absence from whom was eating into her heart, and that she could stand ¢he misery no longer, Mysteriously Withdrew Charge, Why Folsey changed his mind so sud- denly in court to-day is a mystery of the case. He was seen to approach his wife and whisper something {nto her ear. Then he told the Magistrate that he could not produce the evidence to back up his accusations, Both the Fol- seys were on thelr way out when the agerieved Mrs. case like a bomb in a quiet, camp. “Phat woman is false,’ she cried. “she came into my nouse when she was without friends, She broke my bread, 1 shared my bed with her. Knowing me she deliberately and my husband, started out to wreck my life. All my misfortunes are on her head. She is guilty of the crime. It was hor entice- ments that lured my husband from me." Mrs. Virtue No, 2 made a movement as if to leave the court, but Magistrate Mayo forestalled her. “Stop,” the cried, “i am going to sift this ease to the bottom, Then he or- dered a recess before the examination During this recess Folsey is decinred to have been tound trying to destroy the evidences of the marriage of Virtue and his wife, contained in a letter from the minister’ who performed the ceremony.

He replied: “Not in the least.
