Dr. A. A. Smith, his physlclnn. said thnt ho
did not think tho patient was In any danger

on which was written " Dr. Monuos's condi

Beggar Mesroehkl is well known tochnritn
ble ilobroWB of New York, nnd is ospoctally
well known to hovernl rabbis. Ilo Is 5 loot 7
inches tall, stout and dirty, and is described
as homoless. Ho la about 45 yenrs old. Ho Is
known us a desperate nnd ungrntoful fellow.
Ho come to thia cnuntrv in 181. Tho year bo
fdro thnt he owned n llttlo storo in Alexandria.
1-gypt, and in tho bombardment of thnt olty
by tho British hla Btoro was destroyed.
Ilo tried to get indemnity for it. but did
not succoed. und ho ennio to America
Iionnlioss. He wns assisted, like all poor llo
irows. to get along, at lonst for n while, with
out work, und ho concluded to get along en
tirely without work. As a professional beggar
ho was successful. Ho preyed on robbis clueily.
Whon Importuned to do something for bim
st'lf, nnd when tho monoy to start him was
given to him. ho sometimes purchased n stock
of ehoe strings nnd fancy goods and became a
street fakir. But ho would never keep at it
long.
Tho first act of violence ho Is known to hnve
been guilty of was committed threo years ago
in tho houso of ltabbl Alexander Kohut ot tho
East Fifty-fifth street synagogue Ho was
ono of tho many Hebrew boggara who re
ceived aid from woulthy manners ot that con
gregation, and Dr. Kohut had given him
monoy on xoveral occasions. Ho culled at tho
bouso30liaekmnn placoono day when Dr.
Kohut was out A. B. Ehrlich. who is now
connected with tho Hobrow Charities organi
zation, was thoro giving a Latin lusson to Dr.
Kohut's son. To tho maid who opened tho
door Mesrnchki said ho came tor monoy
which Dr. Kohut had promised to glvo him.
Tho maid said that Dr. Kohut was out. Tho
man said ho didn't care: bo wanted tho
money. Ho pushed his way into tho hall, nnd
then domandod S100 cash of one ot the ladles
ot tho family. Tho oung woman was fright
ened. "I want a hundred dollars." Mosraehki
cried a second time, nnd ho drawn pistol from
his pocket. Tho noise hn mndo attracted tho
attention of Mr. Ehrlich. who ran out and
called n policeman. In tho mean tlmo Mos
rachkl ngain demanded $100, nnd cockod hla
flstoi and brandished It about his bond,
hrcntenlngto murder tlio whole family If ho
didn't gut tho monoy. Tho young woman ho
confronted said sho had not tho money, and
ordered him to leave tho house. Finally ho
said ho would go provided ho got money
enough to pay his way down town. Tho po
liceman came in just than and grabbed him hy
the nock with one hand and seized the pistol
with the othor.
Tho man wns locked up In tho East Fifty
fifth btreot station. That night when Dr.
Kohut got homo and a policeman nskod him to
appear In court tho noxt day nnd mako a
chargo against tho man. ho paid ho did not
wish to prosecute. Ho thought u night In tho
Htatlon house would bo huflloleut punishment.
Tho next morning thcro was no complainant
and Mosrachkl was discharged. Ho did not
trnublo Dr. Kohut ngnln.
In the Inst throo years ho has rccolrod as
sistance from Dr. Benjamaii of tho I'ittccnth

Henry Mcndea have given him a groat doal of
money, hut ho waa novor satisllol and ho
would ofton ropro.iah them for not giving him
moro Onco in a while thoy refused to givo
lilm anything, and then ho became insolent
nnd abusive. Ho never thunked them for any
thing he got.
A car or s ago ho got money onough to
tnku him out Webt. lie did not t-tay long. A
few weeks ngo ho said ho expected a iinckago
from San Antonio containing merchandise.
This p.iekngn did not ennio until a week Intiir
thnn It was expected. Mnsrachkl said that tlio
delay bud cost lilm SIOO. Ho told Dr. Henry
MunduH ul. out it and tho rabbi consulted u
luwyorfor lilm to see If It was posslblo to re
rover damages. Tho lawtersald thatuothlng
could ba recovered. When Mcbranhki was iu
formed of this ho flow Into n passion
The beggar has boen following Dr. Mendes
fierslstently for nearly a month, and demand

almost ulways gottlng soinothing. Ho called
