The police made the discovery to
day that Veit, who was Mippoxcd
to be aingle, was married secretly
in October of laid year. His moth
er had ouly receutly returned from
Frauce and the coroner's theory is,
that her finding out alsnit her son's
marriage precipitated a iiarrel
between them, culminating in the
tragedy.

J. Nelson Veit, widow of the dead
man, in another uptow u apartment

aid that she never met her hus

whether or not the mother was ever
told of the marriage. Her husband,
ha said, left early last night and
telephoned to hei alsiiit I0::;n
o'clock that he would lie home iu
half an hour. She did not hear
from him again, she said.
The dead woman was the widow
of the late Kelii Veit, a wealthy
broker and seuior mcmlicr of the
firm of Veit, I.yon V Co., well
known years ago in Wall Street.
The mother usually spent the sum
nier mouths in France, where she
owned a chateau. Voting Veit was
a member of the National (iuards
of New York.

that she and Veit were married by

IT WORKED A CURE.
Antcdot of an Englith Doctor of th
Lat Ctntury.
Of the eminent physicians of
Fnglnud during (lie casiy part of
the lust century not one was moro
justly celebrated than Dr. Syden
ham. Of the nlleOilotes of his med
ical experience, related by himself,
the following is worth telling:
For a long time the doctor had
been consulted by a gentleman of
wealth and leisure who was per
fistetit in his demands for medical
help, who took all the medicine
prescribed, but who did not apjicar
in improve. At length lr. Syden
ham raid to him:
"Sir, I have done sll I can. If
you would Isj thoroughly cured you
inm-t consult lr. Itnbinson at In
verness, in Scotland. He is exceed
ingly clever in such diseases as
yours, and if I give you a letter to
him I can assure you ha will give
you relief.'
It was a long journey from Lon
don nwav to the extreme north of
Scotland, but the patient had plen
ty of leisure, lie hud money
enough, lie hud good horses and car
riages, and, above all, he was anx
ious to 1 cured. So away ho went.
Hut, arrived nt Inverness after a
ln'sirioiis jaunt of fully three weeks,
lie searched for Ir. Robinson in
vain. lie could find no Btich doctor.
And, what w.h more, he was credi
bly informed that such a doctor had
never lived there. The patient bot
tled up his wrath, had his horses
harnessed and their heads turned
homeward, and the distance, which
hud occupied him three weeks in
going, he covered in ten days on
lin return. Upon reaching Inndon
he made at once for the house of
I'r. Sydenham, upon whom he burst
like a whirlwind.
"Ila, Sir George! I am glad to
fee miu, snd to jec you looking so
well"
"I'ut no thanks to you, you grace
less rascal! Whv did vou so deceive
me?"
"IVccivc you, Sir George?''
"Yes. You told me I houlJ find
Ir. ltobinson, and you knew there
wa no such man (here. Now, what
is your excuse? What is your ex
planation?" "Sir George, answer me. Aro
vou nt lietter now than vou have
isen In-fore for years? In short,
aro you not entirelv recovered from
that old malady ?" '
The Ituronct thought a little and
