Ferdinand Berndt, aged 58 years, died
his home at 3:45 o'clock this morning.
He is survived by a wife and eight children.
The funeral services will be held
Monday. The deceased was the father
of Ernest Berndt, who was recently arrested
in Chicago as an accomplice of
Goerke in the incendiary fire cases of the
East vear. and who is expected to arrive
ome"to-morrow. It is the prevailing opinion
that the young man's disgrace is the
cause of the father's death, but this is
denied by the family, who attribute the
cause to heart disease. Berndt was apparently
in good health yesterday and was
on the streets as usual. His death was
unexpected. He was a shoemaker and had
lived in North Tonawanda 14 years.
