contractor. practically dropped dead in
Main street. near the corner of Pine
street. Saturday evening. Dr. S. H.
Huntington. town medical examiner.

:pronounced death to be due to heart

disease. _
Mrs. Queen. who was sixty-three
years of age, had been to the. business

and on her return, and only a minute
or two after she had left one of her
daughters. Mrs. Nellie llcaphy, of New
York. she was taken suddenly ill and
sat down on the stone steps in front.
of the residence of Mrs. William Mc-
Cormick.

Many other people were about the
vicinity on similar errands. Imt the
first person to come to her assistance
was a driver on a truck. He climbed
down from his vehicle and raised the
dying woman in his arms. The only
words she was heard to utter were:
"Please take me in somewhere."

Several other passersby stopped and
Mrs. Queen was carried into Mrs. Mc~
Cormlck’s home. It was soon discov-
ered that all effort to resuscitate her
was useless and that life was extinct.
Word was dispatched to the medical
examiner and to relatives. After Dr.
Huntington" had viewed the remains

he gave permission for their removal-

and they were taken to the home of
one of Mrs. Queen‘s daughters. Mrs.
Ida A. Dodge. in West Rocks avenue.

Mrs. chphy had a presentment Sat-
urday. that she should come to N01"
walk and see her mother. Sheacted
on this impulse and found her mother
in the very best of health. When they
were about to part Saturday evening.
Mrs; Heaphy to return to New York.
the latter accompanied her mother for
somerdistanco up hinln street after
her shopping trip and left, her to catch
a train after kissing her goodbye. Mrs.
lieaphy believed that she had time to
go but a few feet before her mother

, «was taken ultimatum illness-tabla.

did not know this at the limit. how
ever. and only learned of her mother's
demise after her return to New York,
upon the ri‘éce‘ilit of‘ a telegram.

Mrs. Queen is survived by‘onc son.
Morris Queen. with whom she lived.
and four daughters. Mrs. Ida A. Dodge.
Mrs. Bertha Badger. Mrs. I-lcaphy and
Mrs. Rose Gay. the latter of Ridgeflcld.

the residence of Mrs. Dodge tomorrow
afternoon at 2 o‘clock. The Rev.
WemySS Smith will omciate and inter-
ment will follow at Riverside Ceme-
tery.

Mrs. Queen had not heard from her
husband in a number of years. and
stated a short time ago that she be-
lieved that he was dead. He went to
South America to look after the work
on a contract he had taken and has
ncver returned to Norwalk. nor has
any word been received concerning
him.

Philadelphia Merchant Had
Been Arrested In New York
on Complaint of 16 Year Old
Boy’s Father

 

 

NEW YORK, April 22.-—-Itcumllct
Ginibel, the wealthy philanthropist.
who cut his throat and wrist with
broken glass in a hotel iii Iloboken.
soon after he had been tll'l'tliled on
serious charges In this city died in the
St. Mary‘s Hospital, rHoboken. shortly
before three o’clock this morning. His
wife was at his bedside. also his two
brothers, who came nere at once on
receiving word of his trouble. one from
Milwaukee and the other from Phila-
delphia. His personal physician, sum-
moned from Philadelphia. was also at
his bedside. .

The arrest of Benedict Gimbcl. a
man of wealth, member of a prominent
and DI‘OSDPI'OIIS‘fiI'm, married, and of
hitherto spotless reputation, caused
great surprise Thursday afternoonfle
was taken from ii cab In this city.
while in company with Ivor Clark. a
16-year-old boy, by two detectives who
noted on tho, complmnt of Clark's pat
rents. (limbel. according to the de-
tectives. resorted to an attempt at bri-
bery and offered the detectives $2,000
if they would release him. The oili-
ccrs apparently consented and, de-
manding cash. ware driven with Gim-
bel to his bankcrs‘ cities and given the
money. They then informed Gimbel
that the additional charge of attempt-
ed bribery Would be placed against
him and took him to the district at—
torney’s office, where, It Is alleged.
Glmbel. who keenly felt his predica-
ment, offered Assistant District Attor-
ney Krotel any amountof money If he
could be given his release.

Later Cimbel was arraigned in court
and released on heavy bull. Ho start-
ed. ostensibly for his home in Phila-
delphia. but never reached there. In-
stead he went to the Palace Hotel in
Hobokcn and there with jagged glass
obtained from a water pitcher which
he bloke. he cut. his throat in many
places and gushed his left wrist. He
was discovered several hours after~
wards almost dead from loss of blood.

At St. Mary's Hospital. to which
place be was taken Friday night, it
was thought for a. time that his life
might be saved. but Sunday he began
suddenly to full and late last night
hope was abandoned.

Glmhcl's wife and two brot. era who
have shown confidence and motion
to the husband and brother. went to
his bedside. into Friday night. and re
tnnincd there ever since. In a suite-
-mtmtwthe family notified the public
that Benedict Gimbcl had been ill for
some weeks as the result, of overwork
and that this had undoubtedly do-
lhi‘oned his reason.

PHILADELPHIA. April 22.~—ln cou-
neclion with the death of liencdict
Gimbcl in liobokcn today, the follow-
ing statement was made by (liiubel
Brothers. incorporated: "(limhel
Brothers is a corporation managed by
the seven brothers. deceased being the
youngest of the numbcr and ownlnr'
a small minority block of the. stock
His demise will have no more effect
on the business than the death of any
one director of a railroad."

Mr. Gimbel's evident desire to die
even after the arrival of the motor
bers of the family who vainly did
their best to encourage him to live
and fight. for his liberty operated
greatly to the disadvantage of the
doctors who were striving to save his
life. Mrs. Glnibel was almost constant-
ly at. his bedside cndcuvoring to over-
come his desire to be relieved of his
troubles in death.

Members of the family had strong
hopes tbntpif Mr. limbel recovered.
the charges against. him could be over
come by the plea of insanity and they
engaged counsel to fight the case.
They had planned to send Mr. Gimbel
to an asylum if they were successful
in court.

It become evident before midnight
that (linibcl could not. llvc unless he-
roic treatment was attempted. its fall-
cd to respond to oxygen treatment. and
Charles Gimbcl then suggested that.
as last resort. his blood be infused in-
to the veins of his brother. While the.
physicians could hold little hope even
with this infusion of blood to strong
then the patient. it. was determined to
try It as a last resort.

However. if is said that Gimbel did
not revive sufficiently after midnight
to test the experiment. Early this
morning‘lhe became unconscious and

expired .

TWO ALARMS OF FIRE.

 

South Nerw'alk Firemen Kept Buoy
Saturday Afternoon and Evening.

Two alarms of tire called out the
members of the South Nopwnlk Fire
Imimrtment, Saturday. but the financ-
ial loss in either case was not large.
and the time. in which the firemen
were out was very short. The first
call was from Ilox 25. and was tho
result of burning grass on Joseph J.
Ash's property In Monroe street, now
occupied by tho Phcutx Fur Company.
It, is supposed that some boys started
the flames which set fire to fences
and threatened the buildings in the vi-
cinlty. The firemen promptly cs-
tiuguislied the blaze.

The. next summons was from Ilox. it,
at 9:05 o‘clock. to the house occupied
by Charles Stelrwold. in South Main
street. owned by the Dudley P. Ely
estate. Sparks from a passing rail-
road train Set the roof on lire. This
had happened before. and the firemen
quickly had the flames under control.
The damage was slight. one exting-
uisher from the chemical engine be-
ing used.

Superintendent. Fools. in recognition
of the services of the firemen tp sav‘
ing his burn from destruction, sent to
the headquarters of Old Well Hook
and Ladder Company and Putnam
Hose Company boxes of cigars thi’s
morning.

The Norwnlk Fire Department was
called to No. 23 Elm street. this after-
noon‘. to the house owned by Henry
Green. where thcer was a fire in the
chimney. The flames were extinguish-
ed by the use of extinguishers and

mnuds for water on the East Side, in
Bridgeport. and in Stratford become
greater.
