MAYBE HIS WIFE PUT HER VETO ON HIS ACTS. Anyway, After Wilson’s Flat Was Raided by Detectives, the Original Informer Weak- ened and Now He Won't Talk. Morris Rodman, an employee of the Health Department, who lives at No. 1972 Seventh avenue, showed a complete change of front to-day, and Instead of helping the police in saving the race- playing wives of Harlem men, he abso- lutely refuses to make a complaint against John Wilson, of No. 235 Weat One Hundred and Sixteenth street, whose flat was raided yesterday at the Instigation of Rodman. Rodman, tremulous with excitement, rushed into the One Hundred and Twen- ty-fifth street station yesterday, and between breaths told the police that it they would arrest Wilson and raid his place he would prosecute him to the last ditch, “My wife 1s up there playing races now, and I can't keep her away from it," said Rodman. ‘She's a bigger woman than I ain, too."” . Capt. McGlynn, with three detectives, baie around to the so-called pool-room. jetectives Hawthorne and Fitzsimmons tntered the house by the natural meth- ods, but Capt.

He got a fine description of the fourth race from New Orleans. The women, most of whom were very stylishly dressed, begar to scream and shout incoherent things. Some fainted, Ofhers declared it was an outrage, a violation of constitutional privileges. unettc with snappy black eyes @ idea!

Capt. Mo- Glynn knew that he couldn't hold the ‘women, but he wanted to keep them In the flat long enough to mako sure of his evidence, “What, do you mean?” sald Wilson finally. “I was once a married man, but am now living away from my wife, ‘These women are my friends and I was entertaining them. Can't a man en- tertain fifteen women In his own house?” . Rodman Grew Repentant. Rodman and Wilson then went to the station, Wilson flashing a roll of Dills that emitted spars of prosperity. | At the station Rodman grow indignant that the police should insist upon his | making. a complaint as he had promised. | ‘The police were in a quandary, tor | without the complaint of Rodman’ tney | could not hold Wilson, It finally wound | wp with Rodman golng out of the sta.

Three persons were overcome by coal gas to-day in the house at No. 47 East Twentieth street, and but for the time- ly awakening of another member of the family the accident might have re- sulted mortally.

The three were asleep on cne of the upper floors of the house, which is a one-family dwelling, when another member of the household was awakened by the fumes of gas that came from a furnace used to heat the water which supplies the radiators of the house.
