New York, Wednesday.—Mrs. Stephen Malato, wife of a promi- nent politician, is reported to be lying at the point of death at the residence of her husband in Chi- cago. As Nina Van. Zandt, Mrs. Malato was married by proxy to August Spies, the anarchist, just before his execution for complicity in ‘the, Haymarket riots in 1886. She is said now to dismiss the es- capade of her proxy marriage to Spies by saying: “I was a foolish young «girl then.” She is the hter of an i hemist of Chicago. When the Haymarket riots oc- curred ‘she was only 17 years old, and fell in love with Spies when she saw him at the preliminary hearing, and for along time after the anar- chist’s death she shut herselp up in her room and denied herself to all WANT TO SEE HIM Toronto Aldermen Invite Ohief Guthrie to Visit Their Town.
