Philadelphia Merchant Dies of Self
Inflicted Wounds.
HIS FAMILY WAS AT DEATHBED
New York, April 23—The body of
the Philadelphia
who cut his throat and
wrists soon after he had been arrested
on serious charges, and who died in
St. Mary’s hospital, Hoboken, was tak-
en to Philadelphia. The coroner was
called to the hospital, but as the case
was plain a certificate of death giving
suicide as the cause was given and the
Benedict Gimbel,
merchant,
body turned over to the family.
He died in the arms of his devoted
wife, who had been at his bedside ever
since the day he was found in the lit-
tle room in the Palace Hotel with his
windpipe partially severed by a jagged
plece of broken water pitcher, and the
blood flowing from a cut artery in the
wrist.
Charles and Isaac Gimbel, brothers,
were also in attendance at the last,
and there was an effecting scene when
Benedict Gimbel at last succumbed to
the exhaustion caused by the great
loss of blood.
When the dying man finally fell back
on his pillow and breathed his last,
Mrs. Gimbel swooned and was carried
from the death chamber by her broth-
ersdnlaw. So prostrated was she by
the sudden collapse of her husband
after a day of varying hopes and fears
that her relatives took her to Phila
delphia, where she was placed In
charge of physicians.
That the mental strain under which
Mr. Gimbel labored because of his ar
rest was ome of the important con-
tributing causes of his failure to re-
cover from hig wound is the opinion
of Dr. Jurist, the family physician, who
came from Philadelphia i» attend him.
It was omly by the constant use of
stimulants that the patient was kept
alive Sunday, the doctor said. Mr.
Gimbel's evident desire to ‘die even
after the arrival of the members of his
family, who vainly did their best to en-
courage him to live and fight for his
liberty also greatly operated to the
disadvantage of the doctors who were
striving to save his life. Mrs. Gimbel
had rooms at the hospital, where she
.oould be called at a moment's notice,
and was almost constantly at his bed:
.sjde endeavoring to overcome his de
sire to be relleved of his troubles by
death.
. Members of the family had strong
hopes that, if Mr. Gimbel recovered,
charges against him could be over
® by the plea of insanity, and they
had engaged Mr. Shields, of Philadel
to assist Daniel O'Reilly, of this
, a8 counsel to fight the case. They
had planned to send Mr. Gimbel to an
asylum if they were successful in
court.
[Benedict Gimbel was a member
of the firm of Gimbel Brothers, of
Philadelphia, which is a corporation
managed by seven brothers, deceased
‘being the youngest of the number and
owning a small minority block of the
stock. They operate one of the larg:
.est department stores in the United
States. |
KILLED BY FLOBERT RIFLE
Boy Accidentally Shot By Lad While
Shooting at a Mark.
Scranton, Pa., April 22.—Eugene Mc:
Gowan, aged 12 years, died at the
home of his widowed mother in Hones
dale from a bullet wound inflicted by
a flobert rifie in the hands of Edward
Dolmetsch, aged 13 years, of this city,
who was on a visit to his grandmother
in Honesdale. The boys were shooting
at a mark on a barn door in the Dol-
metsch yard. McGowan happened to be
in the rear of the barn while young
Dolmetsch was shooting. A bullet went
through a crack in the barn door, de-
flected slightly, passed through a
seven-eighths inch board and entered
MecGowan’s side, penetrating the liver.
He died in five hours.
SUES THE POPE
Heirs of Father Massarenti Claim Part
of His Fortune.
Rome, April 20.—The heirs of the
late Father Marcello Massarenti have
brought a law suit against the pope,
serving papers upon Cardinal Merry
del Val, the papal secretary of state,
as his representative. They claim part
of his fortune, most of which was de-
rived from the sale of his famous art
collection to an American.
Kansas Fruit Crop Destroyed.
Kansas City, April 22.—That 95 per
f\ithough Lad at Gloversville, N. Yq
Greatly Resembled Him.
Gloversville, N. Y., April 22.—Myles
Standish, a nephew of Dr. H. M. Mar-
vin, of Dover, Del, father of Horace
Marvin, Jr., the kidnapped child, ar-
rived in Gloversville to see the child
held here on suspicion that he is the
kidnapped Marvin boy.
Mr. Standish went at once > the
place where the boy was stopping with
the woman alleged to be the wife of
Al H. Allen, the suspected kidnapper
and saw the child. He made a minute
examination of the lad, romped and
played with him for half an hour be-
fore he became thoroughly convinced
that the boy was not Horace Marvin,
and so announced himself to Chief
Smith, who accompanied him. He ac-
knowledged that the resemblance was
striking, but when he came to examine
the boy closely there were many points
of difference. The boy's face is alon-
gated, while that of the Marvin boy
was round. The latter had a scar over
his right eye from a cut. The boy here
has a scar over his right eye, but it
was from a burn. The boy held by the
local police has hair several shades
darker than Horace Marvin's, and the
latter's teeth were regular and in fine
condition, while the boy he came here
to identily has irregular and poor
teeth. The Marvin boy was not tick-
lish, while the boy claimed to belong
to the Allens is extremely 80.
LIQUOR CRUSADE IN ATLANTIC
Several Saloonkeepers Arrested For
Violating Sunday Law.
Atlantic City, N. J., April 23. — A
crusade against Sunday liquor selling
was opened here when one councilman
and a number of other liquor sellers
were arrested, charged with violating
the liquor law. They were arraigned
before Magistrate Hughes and held
under $800 bail for the grand jury,
which sits in May. Those arrested
were Councilman John Donnelly, Paul-
ine H. Grieb, Annie Horton, Hotel
Carlsbad, Louis Weinsaft, Sarah Kelly
and James J. Flanagan. It was stated
that about 40 more warrants will be
issued, which will take in every saloon
in the city and reach every hotel and
cafe. The crusade is the outcome of
a fight made by the Royal Arch Liquor | H
League against a $500 license fee pro-
posed by council.

BODY OF MISSING BOY FOUND
Tamaqua, Pa., Lad, Reported Kidnap:
ped, Died of Hunger On Mountain.
Tamaqua, Pa., April 22.—The body
of John Sobel, aged 6 years, who dis
appeared from Hauto a week ago, and
who was thought to have been kid-
napped, was found lying beside a mine
breach on the Lansford mountain. The
condition of the child’s body indicates
that he had been dead at least four
days, and it is believed that he wan-
dered away and died of hunger and ex-
haustion. It was at first reported that

man.

have been foul play. The coroner is
