Memorie A devoted husband and fat Passed away December 21, 1931 WIFE and DAUGHTER4 Bore Doctor Cites Way To Control Peritonitis A means of controlling peritonitis is revealed in an article by Dr. Harry Koster of Crown Heights Hospital in the current 1 issue of the "Proceedings of the Society of Experimental Biology and Medicine." The new method, which has been tested on 15 patients with 100 percent success, may be used in surgery involving the intestinal tubes. It calls for the "looping" of the damaged tube outside of the patient's body, where any insanitary seepage is prevented from reaching the peritoneal cavity and creating infection.

SulWest Lane, Ridgefield, Pennies Draw Nickels, But It's Sucker's Game Here's a new way to cheat the subway. Put a flattened penny into the slot. It will prevent nickels inserted subsequently from dropping into the receptacle. When enough nickels have piled up it will be possible to recover the top one by sucking it up through slot. Repeat the operation 20,000.000 times and you are a millionaire.

For allegedly using this means of self-enrichment Chester Madzenski, 24, of 35 Diamond faces sentence Thursday for obstructing a subway turnstile and the action of the Court of Special Sessions on charge of petty larceny. Magistrate Charles Solomon in Bridge Plaza Court held him in $1,000 bail on each. Anthony Milli of the Independent Subway police said he saw the prisoner put a coin in a turnstile at the Greenpoint station, then go back through the turnstile and, after several other persons had gone through, lean over the coin slot and apparently kiss it. He took Madzenski into custody, Milli said, and investigation with the aid of a maintenance man disclosed the trick. Magistrate Solomon's tribute to Madzenski's ingenuity was the comment: "This is the most unusual form of larceny I've ever encountered.

But it goes to prove that dishonesty in any form is still a sucker's game." Assigns Fitzpatrick Loss of Leg Gives To Arson Suspect Fire Chief $60,000 Mrs. Mary Hamelburg, 43, indicted for second degree arson, pleaded not guilty when arraigned before Queens County Judge Thomas Downs yesterday and was held in $2,500 bail for trial during the January term of court. When Mrs. Hamelburg told the court she had no money to engage the services of an attorney Judge Downs appointed Assemblyman Daniel E. Fitzpatrick to defend her.

According to the indictment, Mrs. Hamelburg set fire to her home at 135-43 126th Ozone Park, Nov. 17, following an argument with her husband. At the time of her arrest, police said, Mrs. Hamelburg told them her husband had locked her out of the house the night before.

She told police the following night he went to a bingo game and again locked her out of the house. Police said she broke a window, climbed into the house and, after sprinkling kerosene on the furniture, set fire to it. She joined the crowd outside the house, police said, and watched it burn. 2 Sisters Plead Not Guilty to Theft Anna Gresch, 18, who gave her address as 135 N. 6th Fracherville, and her sister, Bette, 17, of 97-16 84th Ozone Park, pleaded not guilty before Judge Thomas Downs in Queens County Court yesterday to an indictment charging grand larceny.

Gerardo Guarino, 25, of 334 N. 10th Newark, pleaded not guilty to an indictment charging him with receiving stolen property from the two young women. They told the court they had no funds to hire a lawyer, and Judge Downs assigned John F. X. Sheridan of Astoria as defense counsel.

Their trial will be held before Part 2 of the January term of court. The indictment charges that Anna Gresch stole $480 from the home of Dr. James Tormey of 85-73 112th Richmond Hill, where she was employed as a maid; that she gave the money to her sister, Bette, to hold for her, and that Guarino later obtained $200 of the money from Bette.
