Found Her Dead in a Lot

New York, 1895

Constable Brechtner, of Ridgewood, while searching for Mrs. Maggie Leibler, Wednesday afternoon, found her body in a vacant lot near Leibinger & Noehn's brewery. Mrs. Leibler did not live happily with her husband on account of her fondness for drink. The body was removed to the Newtown morgue. The woman had bled to death from a cut on her hand, which she received in breaking a window in the saloon of Herman Frost the evening previous.


Left Her Sick Husband

Mrs. James B. Remsen, of East Norwich, left her home and sick husband Thursday afternoon after several weeks of incessant watching. Search was made and several hours later the fact that she boarded a train at Oyster Bay for Brooklyn was learned.
