The cat was the property of the Stillivans, who live in the house. While walking over the Brooklyn bridge on the day of the cat's alleged experience, Mike Sullivan, one of the juvenile members of the Sullivan household, was quite sure he saw Mrs. Olsen throw the cat cut of the "windy."

JAkEO DAYS IN LOFT, PATENT LAWYER GETS OUT Bulldog at the Froehlers Door in Manhattan Couldn't Stop Writ. THE CHARGEWAS ABANDONMENT But Real Object Was to Set Webb Free. Secret as to Machine Patents Caused Trouble. Sallow, nerve racked and trembling, Ernest C. Webb, 4.S years old, a patent attorney, was arraigned In the Gates avenue court this morning on a charge of abandonment preferred by his wife, Kate M.

Webb, of 230 Warwick street, East New York. Webb tellB a strange tory of having been kept a prisoner in a loft In Manhattan and it was theie that an officer got him yemerday. Mrs. Webb says that she believes her husband's story, so the examination on the charge, which will be heard by Magistrate Hlgglnbotham tomorrow morning, ought to result In an acquittal for Webb. It Is nearly a month now since Webb has been home to his wife and daughter and for all of that time he has lived In a loft on the fourth floor of a brick manufactory at 722 East Eleventh street, Manhattan.

On that floor la the fur dressing establishment of Julius Froehler and there he has a machine over which there Is a squabble as to the ownership of the patents. It Is said that while Froehler does not own the patent, he has been using the machine and that when an actlou was commenced against him, he retained Webb as his attorney, and then being fearful that Webb might glvo away his elde of the ease kept him a prisoner in the factory. Webb declares that ho was kept a prisoner on that door by force. He was dosed with whisky and drugs, he says, compelled to sleep there and wa furnished with his meals, but was not allowed to go on the street. His wife was allowed to sec him as often as she wished, but no one cloe was permitted to even gaze upon his face.

On September 2 Mrs. Webb appeared at the dates avenue court and swore to a warrant charging ner nusnanu with abandonment and then told Court Officer James fjlhhons thnt he could be fouud at the East Eleventh street address. The officer went there the next day, opened a door that led into a little olllce about ten feet square and was met by a ferocious bulldog. Mr. Froehler suavely Inquired what he could do for him.

"Is Mr. Wobb here?" inquired the officer. "No; he's not." answered Mr. Froehler. "What do you want with him?" "I would like to see him Individually," replied the cop, who was not telling the exact nature of his visit.

Then Mr. Froehler said that he would carry any message that the caller eared to leave, and rtnally told the olfleer to go to 220 Broadway, Webb's office building. The cop went there and found that Webb did not have his name on the door, and then he went around to Froehler'a residence, at 34 St. Mark's place. No one there knew anything about Mr.

Webb, A week later the officer again went to the loft on the fourth floor and again Inquired for Webb. This time he told Julius Froeh ler that he was an officer and thnt he had a warrant for the arrest of Webb. Officer Gibbons showed Ills shield, exhibited the warrant, gave his number and his name and even begged to sec Webb. All the time Froehler kept denying that the person sought wns anywhere about, said that he feared the officer was looking for some evidenco about the patent which is in litigation and finally declared that as Officer Olbbons didn't have a search warrant he wouldn't let him In. It was agreed between them that lf Olbbons should be accompanied by an officer In uniform a search of the place would be allowed.

The man on post readily agreed to accompany Officer Gibbons, and when they went back the little door leading Into tho big fac tory room was opened for them. On a bench some newspapers were spread out and a roll of clothing looked as lf It had been used for a pillow, tut there, wasn't, the first sign of Webb. Afterward Webb told the officer that while he had gone down for the man on post, he (Webb) had been carried down into the engine room. Officer Gibons saw that he couldn't win by those tnctlcs. Ho thought a long time, nnd yesterday made an engagement with Mrs.

Wobb to meet him In Manhattan. She did so, and together they went to East Eleventh street, which Is In the heart of the gas house district. The plan wns for Mrs. Webb to go upstairs first, see If ner uuMmuti waH more, come down and report and then go back again on a pretense of having forgotten something. Julius Froehler wns away and tho plan worked admirably.

When Mrs. Webb went back the second time, the officer crowded in behind her and there beheld Wehb lying on a cot behind one of the blind machines. Henry Froehler resented the Intrusion of the officer and threatened all sorts of dire things. CbniicB Goodyear, a big strapping Englishman, also hnd a lot to say. The officer finally told all hands that he would blow his whistle and have the two cops who were at the foot of the stairway, In the room in a minute If they attempted to In terfere with him am- more.

Of course, there were no officers about but the bluff seemed to work. In jiffy the officer grabbed Webb and pushed him throueh the door leading Into the office. The bulldog made a jump, as if to Intercept them, but Mrs. Webb stepped In front of the dog and the door slnmnied. Next he o'her door was opened nnd the officer nnd Webb were koIiir down the steps, two at a time.

When Webb reached the street he danced about like a boy, so glad was he to get out. Mrs. Webb soon followed and so did the dog. The last of the dog was on Fourth avenue as he was chasing the ear on which were the cop. Mr.

and Mrs. Webb. Webb declares that not only wns he drugged, on! that there were peep holes rrom mo taeiory room into tne of- flee, so that no one could enter without i first being thoroughly looked over. When he was arraigned in court to-nay he told the iToohlPi' was in rourt To-dRy also. Whil- lie ailmittpfl ihal Webb had slept and inicn his meals in the fourth Ilnnr of his ruriory, lie denied that he hnd hern Kept thrrn us prisoner.

He says that ho sent n.niif'y tn Mrs. Webb during all tho tlmo that Wtii) was with Mm nnd thnt thn lawyer stayi'd tiit'ir of hla own freo will. BURNED AT RESCUE WORK. Two Women's Lives In Danger When Lump Exploded. Mrs.

These thermostats are set a few degrees higher than the ones in the tanks, but below the scalding point and in case the thermostats In the tanks fail to work or get out of order, the rise In the temperature will automatically operate the second thermostat and close the main steam supply. A supply of fresh air is furnished to all the bath rooms and waiting rooms by electrically driven fans located In the basement The air before entering the rooms passes over a cheese cloth filter, which removes all dust, and then over a series of steam colls Which heat the air to the nroner tnmnerntitm Exhaust ventilation Is provided for thn waiting rooms and for each Individual hath room, the arrangement of the baths being such that the fresh air Is drawn Into each room or stall under the door and, after passing through tho dressing rooms nnd bath rooms, nnnsna Tint through the registers located near the ceiling line nr the hath rooms.

EDS0N WAS INSANE. Verdict of Coroner's Jury at Inquest Into tha Deaths of Edson and Mrs. Fannie Pullen. The inquest Into the death of Henry Town-send Edson and Mrs. Fannie W.

Pullen wa3 held by Coroner Moses J. Jackson this morning in the Criminal Courts building, Manhattan. Edson was the financial clerk of St. Michael's Protestant Episcopal Church, who on September 3 shot his wife's friend, Mrs. Pullen, and thefl killed himself.

Patrolman Willis J. Payne of the Ono Hundredth street police station was the first witness. Ho testiiled that he was called to the Edson flat, 292 West Ninety-second street, on September 3 by Dr. David O. Edson, who told him a shooting had occurred there.

He told of finding Henry Townsend Edson and Mrs. Pullen lying dead on the lloor and said that the pistol with which Edson had done the shooting was still clutched In the dead man's left hand. Dr. Cyrus Edson then testified that he saw and identified the body of his brother at an undertaking establishment in Amsterdam avenue. "Mrs.

Pullen," he said, "was tho most Intimate friend of Mrs. Edson, my brother's wife. She had told me on the day before the shooting that my brother had called at her house and on being refused admittance had made faces at her through the glass door and that ho shook his list at her. It was that that caused mo concern as to my brother's condition. Now, on looking back, we can see that my brother had long been deranged, insane.

When very young he suf fered an attack of corebro-splnal meningitis which left him highly nervous, and wo have thought his trouble probably dated from that Illness." J. C. Marshall Shirk of 1,339 Pino street, Philadelphia, a brother of Mrs. Pullen, testified to having Identified his sister's body and said that he had never heard of any trouble between her and Mr. Edson.

The name of John F. Pullen, the husband of the dead woman, was called by the clerk, but he was not present, and after the reading of a statement from Dr. Hammond regarding his Investigations, the hearing was closed. The jury brought In a verdict to the effect thnt "Mrs. Pullen came to her death from a pistol shot wcund at the hands of Henry Townsend Edson, while he was temporarily Insane, and that he shot himself while In the same condition of mind."
