VIOLIN MAKER GAS POISONED
Joseph Bietau, New York, Who Has Ambition to Pro-
duce Finest Fiddles, Rescued by Policeman.
Joseph Bietau, 57 years old, a violin maker with
a workshop at 53 Avenue A, New York City, is at
Bellevue Hospital suffering from accidental gas
poisoning. He was saved from death only by the
heroic efforts of a policeman, who found him in an
unconscious condition in his shop. The stock of 56
violins, mostly of his own manufacture, were re-
moved for safety to the Fifth street police station.
According to neighbors and friends the violin
maker has the ambition to create violins in America
which will rival the Stradivarius.
It was ten years ago that Bietau began intensive
work to fulfill his dream of creating an unsurpassed
violin. His many friends who have heard the mel-
low tones of his instruments in his little shop are
praying with him that he may live to achieve his
ambition.
