“f MOTHER-IN-LAW MISS WOLFSBRUCK, , WHO WON $3,500 . . AT MONTE CARLO AND WIFE JAILED) pe De Convene ie Jersey City Dancing-Master, Accuses Them of Abduction and As- Sault in Fight Over Their Child ARREST AN OUTRAGE, SAYS THE WIFE’S FATHER. Couple Lived Unhappily To- gether, Separated Two Years Ago, and Both Want Custody of Their Little Girl. ‘ Mrs. Helen De Commerce, a young wife, charged with assault on her step- laughter, and Mrs, Elizabeth Cook, Mrs. De Commerce's mother, charged with duction, were arraigned in the Combs Police Court to-day on com- plaint of Alfred De Commerce, of No. ¥69 Summitt avenue, Jersey City. According to De Commerce, he and his wife Helen separated two years ago, and he assumed the custody of their] daughter Dimple, who {fs now three years old. Healleges that on March 14, while Dimple and her stepsister Alberta were walking in the street together, his wife and Mrs, Cook, her mother, carried off Dimple, the yqunger woman slap- ping Alberta's facetto prevent her from interfering. When the two women were’ arrested at No, 2 West Ninety-ninth street Dim- ple was found with them. Her father has put her fn charge of relatives until the courts decree who has a right to her custody. Father Feels Outraged. William Cook, the father of Mrs. De| Commerce, who has been in the employ of the Ames Bag Company in Jersey City for twenty years, feels outraged over tho arrest of his wife and daugh- ter, He claims that the detectives took them and his granddaughter Dimple without warrant or process of law. As to the charges made by De Commerce against the two women, he says an in- vestigation by the courts will absolve them of wrong-doing. “Commerce 1s the name of my son-in- Jaw, and not Do Commerce, as he would have it appear,” said Mr. Cook to-day to a reporter of The Evening World. “He {8 a dancing-master in Summit ave- nue, Jersey City, and was a widower with one child when my daughter, poor girl, married him eight years ago. She was, only seventeen then, Commerce had been living in the same house with my family, and that is how they met, Separated Two Years Ago, “Soon after the marriage Helen found out that her husband was not all that she hed taken him to be, There were many quarrels, and he treated hermost unkindly—brutally, if I may use the term, “Dwo years ago Helen separated from her husband and took her child. She kept it until one day she and her sister Florence and Dimple were out for an airing in Van Vorst Park. Commerce came along and said he would take the little one and buy her @ pair of shoes, Not suspecting that this was a ruse she let Dimple £0 with him, and not a trace of her was she able to find until a few days be- fore March M4. Then she heard that Commerce's daughter, Alberta, was in ‘the habit of visiting a friend and sak- thg Dimple there. Finding that she was to call there on the Mth, Helen and my wife arranged to get the child back, They procured a hack and had ft standing in front of the house. ‘Then! Helen* went in and took the child and,ran’to the strect with her. Alberta ‘followed, but Mrs. Cook held the door, and when ‘Helen and baby were nafs inside tim vehicle she foined them, She did not slap Commerce's girl’? Mrs, Cook and her daughter were ar- rested in West Ninety-ninth street, but they were,taken downtown ‘to the Mer- cer street! station. It took Mr. Cook hours before he could find what had become of them. He says that as the detectives were leaving his house the janitress's little boy followed them out of curiosity, wondering why Mrs, Com- merce was crying, and one of the men went him back with a kick. Both women were held in $1,000 each for examination, POSSE HUNTED DOWN BROTHERS IN FEUD gece Two Fugitives Captured as They Left Woods Where They Had Hidden After Shooting in Which Man Was Killed. SOUTH BLOOMFIELD, Vt, April 1.— ‘A posse of special officers and citizens from both sides of the line dividing Vermont and New Hampshire captured Reuben and Edward Bronson, the brothers who are accused of the mur- der of Charles Lyons, keeper of a road- house here, The men were captured early to-day as they were emerging from the woods about two miles from town, Althoug' they were armed with rifles, thelr ammunition had been used up in the fight with Lyons last nieht, which resulted, it ta sald, from a fa: ly feud, and they offered ‘no resistance.

It, {!s true that the reputa- tien given to Miss Wolfsbruck 1s bullt on a rather filmsy structure, but she has tho money, and she has the dls- tinction furthermore of . being one of the few American women ever ordered away from a Monte Carlo gaming table because her luck was beginning to make the bankroll look unhealthy. Miss Wolfsbruck’s luck was not due to any system of play, nor was any careful study of the fascinating gamo of roulette responsible for her winning. With a start of $2, she won $3,500 in a very short time, and all because of the stimulus given her conversational pow- era by the tale of a new bonnet. How- ‘ever, that story of a bonnet patd all of the young woman's expenses abroad and brought her ‘home with a dig enough surplus to’ buy her all . hor clothing for the next year or 80. “It all happened Ilke this," sald Miss Wolfsbruck to-day to an Evening World reporter: "I went over with @ party of tourists and ag that kind of travelling didn't suit me T left the party and-went off on my own hook. I mot some friends and as they were going to Monte Carlo I went with them, She Didn't Know How to Bet, “We went to the Casino one night and they told me I ought to make one bet. I didn’t know how to bet, but they told me a good way was to play the first, yecond or third dezen on the roulette wheel. I didn't know what that meant, but I took out a two-frane’ piece and sald I wanted it put on the second dozen, An attendant placed st for me and then the ball spun around and around, T watched it for a second’and then a lot of people who had been on the excursion steamer came in the Casino and saw me. ‘They gathered around and I forgot all about my bet, in fact I didn't even look around at the table. They Talked About Bonnets, “One of the ladies told me aboyt a love of a bonnet she had geen, and wo talked that bonnet and other bonnets over for some time. Suddenly—I don’t know how long after I put that: bet down—an attendant came to me and said: ‘You cannot play at this table any longer, madam.’ A man seated near me then spoke up and said: ‘You'll push that Juck too hard in a minute and lose it all.’ ‘Mercy, but they ‘startled me. turned azound and there where t had lald my, two-franc plece, was a pile of gold as big as a melon, ‘Is that mine?’ IT aaked the man next to me. “Yes, and you'd better get it before they ' spin the wheel again or something ‘beside the second dozen ts Ukely to turn up and you'll loge it all.’ “Well, I just swept that gold over to my lap’ and counted it, and it was a trifle over $3,500.

Miss Elizabeth Byrone, a pretty bru- nette of less than thirty years, the pro- prtetor of a stationery store at No. 606 Second avenue, was in the Yorkville court to~lay to prefer a charge against John F. Collins, a water inspector, for pointing a revolver at her head and arying, “Now you will marry me?" Conins, being a friend of Miss Ry- rone’s brothers, naturalty fell in love with the sister, whose ways are charm- ing and dangerous to susceptible man. He became such a persistent suitor that the young woman was forced to tell him that she would play sister at any and all times, but further than that, “No, Collins dropped on his knees last night and asked for Miss Byrone’s hand. The negative that came from her 8 jarred all the amorous sensibilities in Collins's breast and, according to Mise Byrone, !n the heat of passion he pulled a revolver from his pocket and levelled it at her head. “No more funny business,"’ said Col- lins. “You come with me to the church right off, You'll marry me or you won't marry any one else. Blizabeth did not faint, but she gave a shriek that brought both her brothers out from the back of the store while mhe rushed to the street for a police- man, The brothers fell upon Collins, and soon after, alded by Policeman Flanagan, they overpowored the anlen' lover and relieved him of his revolver. Then Collins was taken (o the East Thirty-ff{th street station.
