When the Charming Marie Is Arraigned in Court She Re- fuses to Talk and Her Case Goes Over. The charms of pretty Mrs, Marie Christian Kappel are apparently 40] abundant that they go around to the entire satisfaction of two young men who are alleged to be her husbands. Mrs. Kappel is accused by her father | of having married three men, one after | the other. The second husband does not | figure in the present complication, be: cause he is dead or has disappeared, but the other two husbands do, al- though quite unwillingly. This ts a ro- mance of the highly moral town of Hoboken, where lived Mrs. Kappel, her | husband, Adolph Kappel, who Is a cripple and a maker of artificial flowers, and tho alleged other husband, Max Kraft, a dog fancter, of No. 113 Mar- shall street, Hoboken.

He said that h Waughter ran away from home when | she was a mere child, that she married Kappel, that isappel went to Boston and left her penniless, and that she then wedded one Andrew Horn. Horn died or ran away and left her a few hundred dollars, and she then married Kraft and ‘went to live with him In the Marshall street se. The marraige with Kappel was per- formed by the Rey. A. D.

Lorraine Byron, fourteen years old, is dying in the Bushwick Hospital, Brooklyn, having herotcally sacrificed herself to save her mother and father and little brother from asphyxiation, Lorraine was awakened before diy- light to-day in her home in the firat floor of the tenement at No. 490 Kos- clusko street, Brooklyn, by a’ smell of gas. She realized that the gas was |escaping from a heating stove in the room occupied by Ner father and mother, and although she must have been in a dazed condition she struggled through her parents’ room and opened the window, thus permitting the cold, fresh air to flood the room. But she had no time to remain at the window and be herself revived, but staggared back through the gas filled hall to her little brother's room and there opened a window. With that the physical exertion was the floor under the window, exhausted and un- conscious. A half hour later a nelgbbor, who smelled gas,caused a policenianto break Dr, Callahan was called from the Bushwick Hospital, and he said that the opening of the windows had saved the lives of the father, William Byron, the mother and the little boy, but that the exertion in opening the windows had so weakened Lorraine, who had already inhaled much of the gas, that he did not believe she could recover, Lorraine was found where she had fallen after opening the window. She was hurried to the hospital, after her Bedridden 10 Months with Kidney Disease.
