• Notes

  BIOGRAPHY: http://www.fultonhistory.com/Fulton.html Anthony Ehrstein. about 50 years of age, was arrested yesterday for assaulting his wife, Katherine, at their home, No. 9 Rugraf place, a little street running from No. 406 Jay street. The family consists, beside* the husband and wife, of seven children, five girls and two boys. Mrs. Ehrstein has worked hard to maintain the family when her hnsband could not or would not support them. Ehrstein has been employed by the contractor on the Front street pavement. He went on strike with other laborers and while the men have been out he has spent hiost of his time in consuming bad whisky. Yesterday morning he arose at 5 o'clock and left the house, returning at 5:30 in the morning in an ugly mood with a strong smell of liquor on his breath. He started to annoy his wife and becoming angered beyond control, seized her by the throat and was choking her when their 11-yoar-old son Interfered to save his mother and struck the infuriated man on his head with a shoe. The blow mude a slight scalp wound, but made Ehrstein release his grip on his wife's throat. He threatened to kill her before the day was over and behaved in such a terrifying manner that his eldest son, a young man about 25 years old, was obliged to interfere to prevent serious trouble. Finally Mrs. Eliwtein procured a warrant for her husband's arrest and he was placed where he could not harm his wife or children. He was charged with assault in the third degree and his case will come up before Judge Ernst to-morrow morning. Officer Scholl made the arrest yesterday nfternoon. It was thought at the police station from the man's manner that he was insane. He has been arrested before for cruelty to his family. BIOGRAPHY: Rochester, Monroe, NY Union & Advertiser Mon Mar 11, 1895 EHRSTEIN SENT UP He of High Fence Fame and Poetic Inclinations goes to Jail to Sober Up. Anthony EHRSTEIN of 9 Rugraff street, he of high line fence notoriety, who is a laborer by occupation, but spends much time writing poetry about his neighbors and then tickling himself in the ribs to make himself laugh over it, is in trouble. EHRSTEIN, who when sober does not appear to be overburdened with sense, is very queer and does some strange things when intoxicated. His principal delight when under the influence of liquor is in exercising his vocal organs, and there is a saying in the neighborhood that EHRSTEIN's yells are so well known by people there that when children awake in the night and ask what strange sound they heard, the mothers invariably say, "Never mind, don't be alarmed; EHRSTEIN's drunk again, that's all." EHRSTEIN has been drinking for several days past, and is said to have written more poetry than usual, and to have sung his favorite songs and yelled his favorite yells till he has driven his wife and neighbors almost to despair, Mrs. EHRSTEIN, who takes very little stock in her husband's ability as a writer of poems, applied yesterday for a warrant for his arrest on a charge of drunkenness and making a nuisance of himself. He was sent to jail this morning and will remain there till he becomes sober and the smile which always, drunk or sober, wreathes his smoothshaven face, reaches its normal state, when but one lone tooth is visible and there is a twinkle in Anthony's eye which seems to say: "I get even mit him yet; is it is." http://www.fultonhistory.com/Fulton.html Anthony Ehrstein, who was arrested some time ago on the charge of threatening to commit aesault upon Frank Schoen, was brought into the presence of the police magistrate yesterday morning. From the point of view of the complainant, the visit was entirely satisfactory, Ehratein being sentenced to pay a fine of $25 or serve twenty-five days in the penitentiary.Ehrstein's home ia on Rugraff place, and Schoen lives in the vicinity.' The complainant wanted redress for certain alleged wrongs that he had suffered at the hands of Ehrstein. Schoen is a milk peddler. He has a milk route and also has the use of a barn, owned by Mrs. Alice Quinn, that is in the rear of Ehrstein's place, Schoen's complaint is that one night when he was comfortably seated upon the milking stool in the barn, and was engaged in milking one of the cows that comprise his good-sized herd, a big stone whizzed past his ear. He was certain that it was hurled by Ehratein, and a loud shout at the same momenf confirmed' this impression. He also says that Ehrstein lately threatened to brain him with an axe, and that he was afraid that he would carry out the threat. For this reason he had the man placed under arrest. Ehrstein does not like to have the barn there. He said that he did not threaten to kill Schoen and had no such intention.
