SALOON SHOOTING MAY END FATALLY
Fusillade Follows Short Change Accusation in a Jamaica Barroom
 Daniel SULLIVAN, 29 years old, a hostler, is lying at the point of death
in the Jamaica Hospital suffering from a bullet wound in the abdomen 
received during the course of a free-for-all fight in a saloon at New York
and Locust avenues, Jamaica, last night.  As a result of the shooting,
William COOK, said to be the manager of the saloon where the shooting
occurred, is a prisoner in the Jamaica station.
 SULLIVAN, who lives at 33 Burns Court, Newport, R.I., had been visiting
his sister in Jamaica.  He is employed as a hostler by a Newport millionaire.
When he came to Brooklyn he had considerable money.
 After leaving his sister's home in Jamaica last night to return to Newport,
SULLIVAN stopped off at COOK's saloon to get a drink.  He was introduced
to several of the men in the place, and the crowd began to drink together.
 After several rounds of drinks had been served, SULLIVAN, it is said, accused
COOK of giving him short change.  This the latter denied, and the two men
began to quarrel.  SULLIVAN, it is claimed accused the saloonkeeper of
being a "beat", whereupon the latter, it is alleged, whipped out a revolver 
from behind the bar and fired several shots.  The shots fired by COOK were the 
signal for several of the men in the saloon who carried revolvers to whip out
their firearms and begin shooting.  One of the shots struck Sullivan, and he
fell unconscious.
 Somebody in the neighborhood who had heard the shooting telephone to the
Jamaica station, that a riot was in progress in COOK's saloon.  The reserves
were bundled into the patrol wagon and driven to the scene, but when they
reached the saloon the place was empty.  A hurry call for an ambulance was
sent to the Jamaica Hospital, and Dr. NOBLE, who responded, pronounced
SULLIVAN in a critical condition.  He was put in the ambulance and hurried
to the hospital where it is said he is not expected to live.
 The reserves scoured the neighborhood in search of the men who did the
shooting and early this morning Detectives CONLIN and ARCHARD
arrest COOK, who was found in a hotel some distance from his own 
saloon.  COOK denied all knowledge of the shooting, but when taken
before SULLIVAN in the hospital, the latter identified him as the many who
had shot him.
 The police have communicated with SULLIVAN's employer in Newport.

COUPLE KILLED BY POWERFUL POISON
 John S. GIVEEN and his wife, Nellie K., were found dead in their
bedroom, shortly after 6 o'clock this morning by Isaac P. KEELER, a
brother of Mrs. GIVEEN, in the home of Mrs. GIVEEN's mother, 365
Greene avenue.  The couple died from poisoning, the autopsy revealing
cyanide of potassium in the bodies.  Mrs. GIVEEN was in bed undressed
and her husband lay on the floor, near the window, clad in his undergarments.
 The autopsy showed that GIVEEN had taken enough of the drug to kill a
hundred men.  Coroner KENNEDY refused to express an opinion as to the
tragedy, except to say that there was no doubt that GIVEEN committed
suicide.  Further investigation may clear up the mystery of Mrs. GIVEEN's
death.
The dead man was 49 years old, his wife, 38.  He was a real estate broker,
doing business at 203 Broadway, Manhattan.  Recently he bought a home
for himself and his wife in Cranford, N.J.  They had been living with Mrs.
GIVEEN's mother, but were to move to their new home to-day, and last
night they went to bed leaving instructions to call them at 6 o'clock this
morning in order that they might catch a train.
 At 10 o'clock last night GIVEEN was heard to leave the house, an unusual
thing for him to do.  He returned shortly afterward.  Nothing more was heard
and this morning Mr. KEELER knocked at their door.  Receiving no answer
he opened the door and looked in.  He saw Mr. GIVEEN lying on the floor
face downward.  Mrs. GIVEEN was in her nightclothes on the bed and both
were lifeless.  Mr. GIVEEN's face bore a look of agony.
 Mr. KEELER rushed to the house of Dr. George EVERSON, 264 Greene
avenue, and summoned him.  Dr. EVERSON said the couple had been dead
for five hours.  Coroner KENNEDY was called and proceeded to make an
investigation.
 The autopsy revealed unmistakable traces of cyanide of potassium in both
bodies.  On a table nearby a drinking glass showed a dark stain upon it.
The Coroner's physician, Charles WUEST, declared it to be a clear case
of poisoning.
 Mrs. GIVEEN was afflicted with chronic headaches.  It is probable that she
was suffering with one last evening, and her husband may have gone to get
some headache powders for her.
 To what store GIVEEN went is not know, and whether he purchased cyanide
of potassium last night is not known.  Though such poison is not easy to
purchase, GIVEEN, who was formerly in the dyeing business may have 
found little difficulty in getting it.
  The position in which Mrs. GIVEEN's body was found would indicate that
she had taken the poison while in bed and fallen back dead.  Then her husband
probably took the poison and dropped dead on the floor.
 Detectives WHITAKER and CORKE were placed on the case, and they made
a search of the rooms.  In a waste basket they found the pieces of a torn
check for $1,000 drawn on the National City Bank, Manhattan, to the order of
Carpenter and ------."  The last part of the name could not be deciphered.
 Business troubles are given as the probable cause of the suicide of GIVEEN
and the death of his wife.  Relatives of the couple refused to talk about the
matter.

court to-day.

JOSEPH M'DEVITT DEAD.
Joseph McDEVITT, a resident of Brooklyn for many years, died yesterday

Derry, Ireland, 58 years ago, and came to this country when a child.  He 
was  employed as machinist at Pearce's Paint Works for ten years.  He was
a member of St. Mary's Star of the Sea Church, on Court street, and was

BLISSVILLE HAS MURDER MYSTERY
Young PROSKY May Have Been Pushed Into Acid in Chemical Factory.
 Strong circumstantial evidence points to foul play in the disappearance of
Frank PROSKY, 19 years old, of 55 Greenpoint avenue, Long Island City,
employed in the Laurel Hill Chemical Works, who was last seen at work
at the chemical vats of the company at 2 o'clock Sunday morning.  A chain
of peculiar circumstances, involving jealousy and an alleged flirtation with
a married woman, followed by the anger of the woman's husband, who is
employed on the same night shift as was the missing man, point to a
mystery.
 The question which is perplexing the police of Long Island City is, Did young
PROSKY fall into one of the vats of muriatic acid over which he was working,
or did the man whom he had enraged with jealousy, and who was on the same
night shift with him, push him into the vat in the darkness of the early
morning, or is it simply a case of accidental drowning in Newtown Creek
hard by?
 PROSKY resided in the Blissville section of Long Island City, where he 
boarded with his brother Jim.  The Blissville section is pronouncedly
Bohemian.  In such a community gossip runs riot and (cut off) fairly
reveled in spreading reports that Frank PROSKY was infatuated with the 
young and pretty wife of one of the Bohemians, whose name is withheld
by the police.
 From this same gossip it was learned that this Bohemian -- he was with the 
pretty wife, of whom he was jealous -- had been heard warning the shopkeepers
that his wife was not to receive from them the slightest bit of credit, as he
would not pay the bills for her any more.  He declared, rumor has it, that his
wife should (illegible) her bills to another, since she had been alienated 
from him. 
 PROSKY went to work Sunday afternoon, on his twenty-four hour ship, and 
on the same shift went the Bohemian who, it is intimated, had reason to
believe he was being duped.  Upon entering the Laurel Hill works the men
take off their street apparel and don a suit of oil cloth for protection 
against the acids.  PROSKY placed his street clothes, containing a watch and
chain and a considerable amount of bills, in his locker and went to work.
 All through the night he watched by the side of the vat of the muriatic acid. 
He was last seen, it is said by the police, at about 2 o'clock in the morning.
The next shift would not go on for several hours.  What became of PROSKY
between 2 in the morning and the next day is a mystery.
 The Bohemian who is suspected is being kept under the strictest
surveillance by the police, headed by Capt TRACY, of the Hunters Point
station.  Detectives have sent to the work to look for signs in any of the
vats that might indicate that PROSKY's body had been eaten by the deadly
acids, and some have been ordered to drag Newtown Creek in the belief
that maybe PROSKY took a stroll in the early morning air and slipping
fell into the murky stream.

MOTHER GIVE UP HER SON AS DEAD
  Mrs. Julia V. BREWSTER, of 1462 Bedford avenue, mother of William E. 
BREWSTER, who disappeared from his home, 201 President street, nearly
eight years ago and has never since been heard from, has petitioned
Surrogate CHURCH for letters of administration for the considerable
personal estate left by BREWSTER and for a decree declaring her son
legally dead.  BREWSTER mysteriously disappeared Aug. 31, 1898.  His
mother, refusing to believe that he was dead, for years kept his clothing
and effects as he left them and always kept a chair at the dining room
table with knives and forks set, because she said, "Willie surely will
return some day."  As time rolled on, however, hope faded, and now the
gray-haired mother has been forced to believe that her boy is dead.
  BREWSTER was a bachelor, 38 years old, when he suddenly dropped out
of sight.  On the night he disappeared he was at home talking with his mother
and his brother, Nelson W. BREWSTER, who now lives in Cincinnati.  About
9 o'clock William picked up his hat, took his $250 watch out of his pocket and
laid it on the table and made a move to go out.  His brother halted him for a
minute, remarking: "Say, Bill, it's about 9 o'clock.  What are you going out 
for?"
"Bill" mumbled something about going to a drug store and was gone.
  It was afterward learned that he went to a near-by drug store, got some
medicine for catarrh and then took a course for the river.  For a number of
years BREWSTER had been afflicted with chronic catarrh, which seemed to
cause him constant unrest.  He frequently remarked to his brother, "What is
the use of any one living in so poor health as I am in?"  It was only the day
before his disappearance that he said to his brother, "What's the use of 
living, anyway?"
  The fond mother and brother for years struggled with the hope that he would
someday come back and although he left bank accounts which, with interest,
now amount to about $10,000, the mother refraining from touching them.  
Even now, that all hope has been given up, Albert C. AUBERY, Mrs.
BREWSTER's counsel, has been instructed to advertise the Surrogate's
decree all over the country in the hope that if her son is alive the mother
may reach him.
  For years after her son's disappearance, Mrs. BREWSTER caused 
advertisements to be inserted in leading newspaper throughout the United
States and Canada, offering a liberal reward for any information that would
lead to the discovery of the whereabouts or fate of her son.
  Lawyer AUBERY to-day secured a $10,000 bond from the Empire State
Surety Company qualifying Mrs. BREWSTER to act as administratrix.
BREWSTER had accounts in four savings institutions aggregating
$4,613.96, and in three St. Louis institutions he had $2,118.12.  No will
has been discovered.

DIES LEAVING FORTUNE, BUT NO KNOWN HEIR
  Patrick WHITE, for years a familiar figure in the old Brooklyn hotels, was
found dead in bed yesterday morning in his room at the Mansion House.
He leaves an estate valued at more than $500,000, but had no heirs and,
as no will was found, the public administrator will take charge of the 
property.
  WHITE came to this country from Ireland, in 1840, when a lad of twenty, to
claim a property left him by an uncle in Baltimore.  In order that he might 
acquire the inheritance, the Legislature of Maryland passed a special law
permitting him to take title.  He then engaged in the shipping business,
amassed a fortune and retired about twenty-five years ago.  For nearly
thirty years he lived at the old Pierrepont Hotel, and wen that building was
torn down, three years ago, he moved to the Mansion House.
  For many years Col. WHITE, as he was known among his friends, had tried
to find some relative to whom he could leave his estate.  He commission
Manager CLEFT, of the Mansion House, to look up the family in Ireland, but
CLEFT, after a long search, came back to report he could find no trace of the
old man's relatives.  They were all dead, or had gone away without leaving any
information of their whereabouts.
  WHITE was missed yesterday morning when he failed to come down to the
dining room for breakfast, and Manager CLEFT went to his room.  He found
the old man stretched out on his bed, dead.  Dr. Charles HENRY, of 56 Clark
street, was called, but he said WHITE had probably expired during his sleep.
  In the room was found a chest containing bonds and other securities
representing nearly half a million dollars.  Deposits in various banks and
trust companies and property that is thought to be in a safe deposit vault,
will increase the value of the estate to much over this figure.  No will was
found.
  Although he had lived in Brooklyn for more than thirty years, WHITE always
considered himself a citizen of Baltimore, and many of the securities found
in his room are bonds issued by that city.

SCHUBERT A. SUICIDE, SAYS CORONER'S PHYSICIAN
The autopsy made by the Coroner's physician upon the body of Alfred
SCHUBERT, of 337 East Ninth street, Manhattan, which was found in St.
Ronan's well, on Jackson avenue, Flushing, last Sunday, showed that he
committed suicide.
SCHUBERT was left-handed, which accounted for the right wrist being
slashed.  His clothing had not be tampered with, and death resulted from
stab wounds in the neck, the windpipe having been severed.  His money
was in his pocket.
The sensational manner in which he committed suicide gave rise to the
rumor that he had been murdered.
A story is told that fifty years ago the property in Flushing was owned by
a wealthy family.  A young girl, a member of the family, was urged by her
parents to marry a man she disliked, and arrayed in her wedding dress, 
she committed suicide by throwing herself into the well.

7 May 1906
RICH WOMAN SLAYS DAUGHTER AND SELF
Miss Agatha WATERS, a young and beautiful society woman, was shot
and killed early to-day as she lay sleeping in bed by her mother, Mrs.
Mary G. WATERS, wife of John R. WATERS, prominent in the insurance
and banking world.  After killing her daughter, Mrs. WATERS sent a bullet
through her own brain.  The double tragedy occurred in the WATERS' city
home, 144 West Seventy-sixth street, Manhattan.  The only explanation 
that can be made of the tragedy by the family is that Mrs. WATERS
had so suffered from insomnia and worried over her daughter's poor health
that she became insane.
 Mrs. WATERS was in her usual health last night when she attended church.  
She urged her daughter, Agatha, to accompany her, but the girl was
suffering from a headache and declined.  After returning from church, Mrs.
WATERS chatted pleasantly with the family until all retired at 11 o'clock.
The mother went to her sleeping room and Miss Agatha and her sister, Ruth, 
who is younger, went to their room.  Miss Agatha was suffering from
nervousness and she was planning to go to Europe.  Her condition was
a source of great worry to her moths.
 The sisters lay sleeping in their beds in the front room of the third floor.
Miss Agatha's bed was nearest the door to the hallway.  From careful
investigation it is concluded that about 2 o'clock this morning, Mrs.
WATERS slipped quietly from her bed and went to her husband's study 
where she found his revolver on the desk.  She crept quietly upstairs and
entered the room where her daughters lay sleeping.  Mr. Ruth awoke and
the mother inquired if any one heard a telephone bell ring.
 "Then I don't know exactly what mother did," said Miss Ruth, to-day.
"There was a shot and I jumped up and saw mother walk quietly out of the
room.  Then there was another shot, and I heard a fall."
 Mrs. WATERS, after speaking of the telephone, had pressed the revolver 
against her daughter's head and fired.  She left the room and ran down 
stairs,  
and at the landing on the second floor sent a bullet into her own brain.  Mrs.
WATERS fell at the feet of her husband, who ran from his room on hearing
the first shot.  She died instantly.
 Physicians were called, but both the mother and girl were dead.  Dr. 
STEWART, the family physician, said Mrs. WATERS had been suffering
from insomnia for several months, but had displayed no signs of insanity.
The mother was 52 years old.
 Mr. WATERS is a banker and fire insurance agent.  For more than twenty
years he has been one of the most prominent men of the city in business
and club life.  He is vice-president of the Irving National Bank and a member
of many leading clubs.
 Miss WATERS was most popular in society and well known in the colonies 
at Newport, Glen Cove and Long Branch.
 Some weeks ago a mother and her three children jumped from a Long
Island Sound steamer and all were drowned.  A note in the stateroom was
addressed to John R. WATERS in this city.  A reported called at the office 
of John B. WATERS, the insurance man and told him that a Mrs. WATERS
and her three children had been drowned from a steamer off Point Judith.  
 "I have a wife and three children," said Mr. WATERS, "but when I left home
this morning they were all right.  Thank God it was not my family.  I am
certainly sorry for the other Mr. WATERS.  My three children are all girls,
Miss Agatha, Miss Ruth and Miss Grace."
 Mr. WATERS took the telephone from the hook and calling up his home
told them of the tragedy of Long Island Sound and of the inquiry of the
reports.

DEATH ENDS GAY FAMILY OUTING
 Laughing and chatting gaily, with thoughts of danger never entering their
minds, Joseph STORCH, a wealthy retired hardware dealer, of 630 Broadway;
his wife, their three children and their niece, Miss Lena STORCH, rattled
along Bedford avenue at dusk last night in a surrey, hurrying home from an
outing at Coney Island.  They were all anxious to get home early; a family
reunion was to complete the day's jollification.  Grim Death changed all
this.  At Malbone street, the carriage was wrecked by a Nostrand avenue
troller car, Mrs. STORCH was killed with her baby clasped in her arms, the
infant and Miss STORCH were mortally injured.  The baby died this morning
in the Kings County Hospital.
 When the party left Coney Island it was raining and the side curtains of the 
surrey were drawn down.  STORCH and his son, Isidor, a boy of 13, were
on the front seat; Mrs. STORCH, with her 13-months-old baby, Etta, on 
her lap and her niece were on the rear seat, and Sadie STORCH, a child
of 11, was seated on the floor.  All were laughing over the amusing things
they had seen at the Island.
 Near Malbone street there is a high fence which prevents persons passing
along Bedford avenue from the south seeing the car tracks on Malbone
street.  STORCH was not aware of this and had no idea of the danger to
himself and family until the carriage was in the middle of the near track.
Then he heard a sharp clanging of the car gong.  Before he could utter a
cry the car had crashed into the carriage, throwing the entire party into
the street.
 Mrs. STORCH, with her baby, asleep, nestling against her breast, was 
thrown directly across the track and the front wheels passed over her
killing her instantly before the car could be stopped.  As she fell the
mother instinctively tried to save her child and held it out at arms' length.
The infant's head was battered against the cobble stones and one of her
legs severed.
 STORCH and his son were thrown nearly fifteen feet by the impact of the car
and landed in a heap on the jagged edges of some paving stones.  Little
Sadie was hurled on top of them and received a painful scalp wound as
well as being bruised and shaken up.  Miss STORCH was thrown furthest
of any of the party and bruised but later found o be suffering from internal
injuries that will, very probably, result in her death.
 With the crash of the car and carriage, every passenger in the car -- it was
crowded with returning merrymakers -- jumped down into the street.  There
is no street lamp at that corner and the only light to reflect the ghastly 
scene was that thrown by the headlight on the car.  The STORCH family lay
scattered over the roadway, and their carriage hung half over a fence,
where it had been tossed by the force of the collision.  The horse had been
fried from the shafts and dashed wildly up Bedford avenue.
 Mrs. STORCH lay under the wheels of the car, blood spurting from her
mangled, lifeless form.  Her babe, its tiny arms still clutched around her
neck, was unconscious.  The motorman, white as a ghost, remained on 
the car platform, too terrified to move.
 While the crowd of passengers and others who had been attracted to the
scene by the sound of the collision, stood around stunned and helpless,
George FISHER, of 57 Halsey street, dashed up in an automobile  He
phone for the police, ambulance and a wrecking crew from the B.R.T
repair shops and then returned to assist the injured.  While he was doing
this another auto drove up and the owner and his chauffeur lifted Miss
STORCH in and hurried her to the Kings County Hospital.  Ambulance
surgeons dressed the injuries of STORCH, his son and daughter Sadie
and took Etta, the babe to the hospital, so badly injured that they saw
little chance of saving her.
 Isidor and Sadie were taken home in an auto, before had had a chance
to see their mother's body, and STORCH was also sent home, in the care
of a physician.
 With the arrival of the police reserves from the Flatbush station the crowd
made a rush for the motorman, Henry FAY.  They swarmed around the car,
tracking reddened mud in this path, and tried to reach FAY.  The motorman
swung a switch iron over his head and held the crowd back until the police
had drawn a cordon around the car.
 Efforts were made to extricate Mrs. STORCH, but it was impossible to lift
the car and the crowd waited, stamping impatiently for nearly half an hour,
before the wrecking crew arrived.  The car was then jacked up and the body
removed.
 FAY was arrested, and in the Flatbush court this morning he was held in
$1,500 bail for examination on a charge of criminal negligence.  He said
the accident was unavoidable, and that STORCH was really to blame.

SPIER A SUICIDE, POLICE SAY; NOT RICH BY A BANKRUPT
 According to a statement to-day by Police Inspector GRANT, Charles L. 
SPIER,, Jr., right-hand man of H. H. ROGERS and high in the councils
of the Standard Oil Company, who was found dead early yesterday
morning in his home in Staten Island, was not shot to death by a
burglar.  From the investigation made, the inspector says he is con-
vinced that the man committed suicide.  Inspector GRANT declares in
his statement to commissioner BINGHAM that there is not one thread
of evidence to bear out the theory that SPIER was murdered by burglars,
except the statement made by Mrs. SPIER, and that she was too much
excited to remember just what occurred.
JUDGMENT AGAINST HIM
 Developments to-day show that SPIER had an outstanding judgment in
bankruptcy against him and other for $50,870 in favor of the Mercantile
Exchange National Bank.  This judgment was entered after the Yetman
Transmitting Company, a concern of which he was president, and in which 
he was largely interested, went into bankruptcy.  The company failed in
November, and on Feb. 7 last, a judgment for $50,870 was entered
against SPIER.  That such a judgment was held against him came as a 
surprise to SPIER's business associates.
RECENTLY INSURED LIFE
 In investigating the dead financier's affairs it has also been developed that
he recently took out policies for $75,000 ordinary life, payable only in case 
of death, and the other for $25,000 on the endowment plan.  When the 
policies were first made out, SPIER had the name of his wife inserted as
beneficiary.  Before final acceptance, however, he made a change.  The
name of Mrs. SPIER was taken out and that of "Alfred LAUTERBACH,
trustee" was inserted.  The policies are incontestible, no matter what the
cause of death.
HIS SALARY SMALL
 The fact that Mr. SPIER owed $50,870 and that he had take out these
policies on his life cannot be explained.  While he and his young wife
lived on Staten Island and while he was director and president of many
companies in which Mr. ROGERS is the controlling factor, it is said that
he got a salary from the executive head of the Standard Oil not exceeding 
$5,000 year.  It is also said that SPIER was not the rich man he 
was supposed to be.  It has been shown that SPIER was in debt, if the
stories of his salary and the judgment against him can be credited, and
the judgment is a matter of record.
NO TRACE OF BURGLARY
 The police have not been able to find that burglars were in the house, and
they are unable to understand why the vicious bulldog, a pet of the family, 
did not attack the burglar if SPIER was fighting with him, as has been
reported to the police.  When Mr. SPIER was found by his wife, the dog
lay by the side of the body, licking the dead man's hands.  It has also been
proved that the bullet that killed SPIER was fired from his own revolver. 
The revolver was found beside the body when Mrs. SPIER threw herself
upon him and lay unconscious until the servants came.  The police have
learned that the interior of the dining room and the silver and cutglass were
disarranged, but it is argued by the police, who lean to the suicide theory, 
that Spier may have created havoc in his dying moments.
In spite of the belief of the police that SPIER committed suicide, Mr. ROGERS 
declares that he was shot to death by burglars.  It has been found that the
dead man's books are in perfect shape and that his accounts are correct.
In his safe, it is said, there is a note to Lewis NIXON, which fell due yesterday.   
 A reward of $1,000 has been offered for the capture of the supposed burglar.

9 May 1906
DYING, SHE ABSOLVES HUSBAND FROM BLAME
Bridget KEARNS, 35 years old, of 34 Spencer street, died early this
morning in the Cumberland Street Hospital from burns which she
received from a lamp thrown at her on April 21 by her husband.  That
night her husband returned from work intoxicated and demanded money.  
Mrs. KEARNS gave him a dollar, saying that all she had left was another 
dollar, which she needed for food for her four children.  After a further
attempt to get the money, KEARNS, it is alleged, picked up a lighted
lamp from the table and hurled it at his wife.  Her dress caught fire and
before the flames could be extinguished she was horribly burned.  A 
three-months old child, which she had in her arms at the time, was
slightly burned.
 Before the woman died she told the nurse that it wasn't her husband's
fault as he was kind when sober.  All during the night she cried for her
children and thinking that the sight of the youngest would soother her 
the baby was brought to her shortly before she died.  At the sight of the
child the woman's grief was pathetic.  A nurse held the child at her
bedside until the woman died, her hand clasping the fingers of her baby.

STABS WIFE AS SHE SLAVES, FALLS DYING NEAR HER BODY
Discouraged because he was unable to secure employment and support
his wife and 3-year-old daughter, Stefen RILEY, 38 years old, a Hungarian, 
attempted to murder his wife at their home, 591 Hopkinson avenue, this
morning and then stabbed himself twice in the heart.  He is dead and his
wife is lying in a dangerous condition in the Bradford Street Hospital.
 RILEY, who was once the owner of a large laundry on the upper west
side of Manhattan, has been unable to do any work for a year.  He had
been given up by several physicians as a hopeless consumptive.  This
seemed to grieve him, and for the past three months he had been
particularly morose.  Frequently several of his friends and neighbors have
heard him say that he wished he was dead.
WIFE SUPPORTS FAMILY
 A year ago RILEY was compelled to quit the laundry business because
of ill health.  He didn't do anything for several weeks, and he finally went
back to work as a street laborer in the hope that the outdoor occupation
might cure him.  Six months ago he was compelled to quit this and the
family lived on the earnings of Mrs. RILEY, a frail little woman, who made
what money she could by taking in washing and doing odd jobs for friends
and neighbors.
TAKEN IN BY NEIGHBORS
 Of late Mrs. RILEY has been unable to find any work, and two weeks ago
Mrs. Mary BURGHARAT, who lies on the floor below that occupied by the
RILEYs, took them into her rooms to live.  At first RILEY objected to going 
to live with the neighbors, saying that it would make a beggar of him, but
when he was confronted with a rent bill from the landlord which he was
unable to pay he agreed to accept the hospitality of his kind neighbors.
 During the two weeks that the couple and their little 3-year-old daughter,
Margaret, have been living with Mrs. BURGHARAT, RILEY has been
particularly despondent.  Frequently he would murmur to himself that 
some one of these days he would end it all.  In the night he frequently
woke up and would cry aloud, "I wish I could end it.  I am a beggar."
ASSASSINATES WIFE
 Shortly after 9:30 o'clock this morning Mrs. RILEY began to do the
washing of the BURGHARAT family in the kitchen of their home.  While
she was bending over the tubs her husband stole up behind her and twice
plunged a potato knife into the small of her back.  Mrs. RILEY screamed
and fell unconscious to the floor.  Her husband then turned on his heel and
in the presence of Mrs. BURGHARAT, who had been attracted by the
screams of Mrs. RILEY, twice plunged the knife into his heart.
 Mrs. BURGHARAT ran to the window and screamed.  Policeman John J.
BARNES, of the Brownsville station, who was on the corner, came to the
house on a run after he had sent a messenger to the station house for
assistance.
 When BARNES reached the rooms he found RILEY groaning on the floor.
Roundsmen MOGER and ROONEY of the Brownsville station, came
later and sent in a hurry call for an ambulance to the Bradford Street
Hospital.  When RILEY saw the three policemen he appeared to muster
up strength.  He struggled to his knees and the bluecoats had to struggle
with him to keep him on the floor until the arrival of Dr. HOLTHAUSEN.

HUSBAND DIES IN AMBULANCE
Dr. HOLTHAUSEN hastily examined the man and pronounced him dying. 
He said the knife had pierced his heart, and it was only a question of a 
few seconds when he would die.  The ambulance surgeon then turned his
attention to Mrs. RILEY, who, he said, was in a critical condition.  She 
was carried down to the ambulance, and just before leaving the doctor
took a final look at her husband.  He was still alive, and he, too, was
carried to the ambulance and husband and wife were hurried to the
hospital.
As the ambulance reached the entrance of the hospital, RILEY died.  Mrs.
RILEY was still conscious and up to noon some hope of her recovery was
entertained.
The little 3-year-old daughter was apparently dazed by the whole affair.
She cried at first, but then sat quietly in the corner, apparently not
realizing what had really happened.  She was taken care of by friends of
the family.

ONE DEAD, ANOTHER DYING FROM GAS
 Gustave WINK, 30 years old, a bricklayer, and Jean SCHENCK, 25 years
old, a carpenter, were found unconscious in bed this morning in the furnished
room occupied by both at 1354 Thirty-ninth street.  A hurry call was made to
the Norwegian Hospital and the surgeon made an effort to revive both men. He
 succeeded in reviving SCHENCK sufficiently to take him to the hospital, but
WINK was too far gone and died while the surgeon was at work.  SCHENCK 
is in a very serious condition and not expected to live.
 SCHENCK retired early last night and was followed at 11:30 by WINK, who it
is supposed in turning the gas off, twisted the fixture so that a leak was
caused.

POLICE WANT BALL THAT KILLED SPIER
Although the police insist that Charles L. SPIER, confidential man for 
Henry H. ROGERS, of the Standard Oil Company, committed suicide in
his home on Staten Island, District Attorney J. J. KENNEY, of Richmond,
is dissatisfied with this decision, and it is more than probably that the 
funeral, which was set to be held to-day, will be held up, pending further
investigation, and an autopsy to get the bullet.
 Police Capt. HOGAN said to-day:
"I will do all in my power to have the body of Mr. SPIER kept in a
receiving vault, so that it can be got at and the autopsy continued in a
further search for the bullet.  I have yet to confer with the 
District-Attorney.
"I want to establish once and for all time whether this man died from a
burglar's bullet or from a bullet from his own revolver."
 District Attorney KENNEY said to-day he would not interfere in any way
with the funeral of Mr. SPIER.  The family has arranged for private services
at the house, 7 Tompkins avenue, New Brighton, and interment at their
convenience.
In a statement issued to-day Mrs. SPIER says:
"We were perfectly happy.  I cannot imagine any reason why my husband
should take his own life.  There was not the slightest cloud in our lives.
Mr. SPIER was fond of his home and of me.  We had no differences.  I know
nothing about the $75,000 insurance he is reported to have taken recently.
All I know is that he had another policy to prove for me. No matter what they
say, I know that my husband was murdered.  The man who shot him could
easily have escaped out of the rear door and got down off the porch
without leaving any marks or footprints."
 Following the stories that SPIER was bankrupt and that he had recently
insured his life for $75,000 and made the policies payable to his trustee,
came the story that he figured in a scene at a well known State Island
club and was asked to leave the club.
 The statement has been made, and the police have given weight to the
theory, that the bullet that killed SPIER came from his own revolver, which 
was found at the side of his body with one chamber empty.  Coroner
CAHILL, acceding to the requests of Mrs. SPIER, did not perform an
autopsy to find the bullet.

MRS. INGRAHAM DEAD, ONCE COUNTESS WARD
The simple announcement in the newspapers that Edythe NEWCOMB
INGRAHAM died at Banchory, Scotland, on May 4, is one of the brief
closing chapters in a story of the tragedy of the well known NEWCOMB
family of Kentucky.  The beautiful Edythe NEWCOMB first married County
"Reggie" WARD many years ago, and after a divorce was wedded to
Nathaniel INGRAHAM, grandson of Justice INGRAHAM.
 Mrs. INGRAHAM was a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. H. Victor NEWCOMB,
her father being at one time president of the Louisville and Nashville
Railroad.  Socially Miss NEWCOMB was a leader in New York City
when she met the rich Count WARD in 1880.  They lived happily for
thirteen years.
 Mrs. INGRAHAM then met her second husband in Folkestone, England,
and the year following her divorce from County WARD was married again.
 Only two year elapsed before the courts were again called on by Mrs.
INGRAHAM in a suit which she brought against her husband for separation.  
He in turn sued her for a $4,000 annual income, being, he alleged, an
anti-nuptial(sic) settlement.  This still in the courts and was the subject
of a vigorous fight by Mrs. INGRAHAM.
 Mrs. INGRAHAM's father lives in Manhattan and is said to be broken in
health.

MISS POLE SLAIN; BODY IN CREEK -- ARREST LIKELY
A rigid investigation is being made into the death of John TROSKY, 19
years old, of 85 Greenpoint avenue, whose mysterious disappearance
had been baffling the police for some time.  His body was picked up in
Newtown Creek early this morning.  The Coroner was immediately sent
for and an autopsy will be performed as there are strong suspicions
that he was murdered and thrown into the creek.
 TROSKY got into difficulties at the Laurel Hill Chemical Works, where he
was employed, by flirting with the wife of another employe.  This got
him into several quarrels.  At the time of his disappearance some workmen 
though that he had been pushed into one of the vats of acid and thus
made away with. An arrest is expected in the case this afternoon.

10 May 1906
ITALIAN AND WIFE MURDERED FOR $200
 With their skulls crushed in, their jugular veins severed, and deep gashes
across the body, Vincenzo MUCCIO, 50 years old, an Italian bootblack
and cobbler, and his wife, Celeste, 64 years old, were found dead at 7:15 
o'clock this morning in the rear room of their three room apartment in the
basement of 459 Court street.  The scene in the bedroom was one of
utmost disorder, and the sight of the bodies caused more than one
spectator to turn weak and faint.  MUCCIO was lying on his back, as if
the murderer, after crushing in his skull, had deliberately turned him over
and made certain of the job by cutting the jugular vein.  The woman was
discovered in a kneeling position at the rear of the bed, her hair was a
solid mass of clotted blood, which indicated that she had been dead
several hours when found.  Her throat had also been cut, but she was
probably dead when the slash was made.  The bedclothes were covered
with book, which had also run down to the cellar through a crack in the
floor.  The struggle between the murderer and his victims had taken
place near the door was evidenced by the fact that the pools of blood
here were much larger.
 Just when the murder was committed is not definitely know, but it is
believed by the detectives on the case that the couple were killed near
midnight.  The occupants of the house had heard no struggle, and the
crash of the small hatchet with which the deed was done against the
wall in two or more places had failed to arouse them.
SUSPECT ARRESTED
 About an hour after the discovered of the crime, a man who gave his
name as Alphonso TEDESCA, was arrested at (?)7 Court street, where
he had been residing for the past few weeks.  To the neighbors he was
know as Alphonso (?)SULLETTA.  He gave his age as 21 years.  On
Monday afternoon, he came to the MUCCIO's and asked permission to 
stay there for a short time, until he was able to secure another position.
He had been employed in Carruthers and Ebbetts bowling establishment
at Franklin avenue and Fulton street.  He left on Monday because as he
told Acting Capt. McCAULEY, of the Detective Bureau later, "the place 
was too dusty and his lungs were becoming affected."  The police claim 
that TEDESCA knew that MUCCIO had a profitable business and saved
a considerable sum.  For that reason he tried to get himself into the good
graces of the couple.  This morning, he could not be found after the bodies
were discovered.  Suspicion fell on him at once and Detectives CARROA,
CIMETTA, (?)ARRELL and McCORMICK, of the Hamilton avenue station,
after leaving the bodies in care of three policemen, started on a search
for the man.  They had heard he was living with Michael ROSSA, at 347
Court street.  TEDESCA's brother was employed as a porter in a saloon
next door.  Then the detectives arrived they stopped TEDESCA, who was
just going out.
"Where are you going?" one of the detectives asked.
PREPARED TO SKIP
 TEDESCA turned as if to go upstairs again, when CARROA put his hand
on his shoulder and declared him under arrest.  TEDESCA then went 
upstairs to his room where the detectives found a blue flannel shirt which
had just been washed.  This they seized.  In another corner they picked
up the man's satchel, which was hurriedly packed with clothing.  The
prisoner wore a suit which seemed to be almost new.
 In one of his pockets the detectives found a roll of bills which contained
(?)00.  A little blood was found on the money.
 A search failed to reveal any blood-stained clothing, but the police claim
that the man had just washed most of his clothes.  The articles are being
closely examined this afternoon.  Capt. McCAULEY said he detected
several traces of blood stains.
 The prisoner made a long statement, which purports to explain his actions.
This McCAULEY says he does not believe and claims that the circumstantial  
evidence against the man is very strong.
"We think he is the man," said he this afternoon, after he had examined
several witnesses.
BOY DISCOVERED BODIES
 At 7 o'clock this morning Mrs. Mary HARDIMAN, a widow with three 
children, who lives on the second floor of the Court street address, went
downstairs and was surprised to find the front door, which had a catch
lock, open.  She did not pay much attention to the matter until Jocum
TUOMA, a 15-year-old boy, loving at 187 Prospect street, who was
employed by MUCCIO, arrived to open the place for business. TUOMA
entered the rear room, and in an instant came running out shrieking.
He was heard by a pedestrian, who called to Policeman O'CONNELL,
who was a block away.  Patrolman Jeremiah MURPHY, of the Amity
street station, jumped off a Court street car at the same time, and the
two at once reported the case to Police Headquarters.  O'CONNELL 
found a piece of a razor which had been used by the murderer sticking 
in MUCCIO's throat.
 The police also arrested Frank ALBETERO, of 10 navy street; Maria
SARACN (sic) of (?) Court street; Rosie MUCCIO, a niece of the dead man,
who lived at 435 Court street, while Mrs. HARDIMAN and Mrs. Nora CROSS,
a boarder, who came willingly to the Hamilton avenue station and told the
police what they knew of the affair.  
 Coroner Henry J. BREWER was notified.  He said it was a clear case of
murder, with robbery as a motive.  It is believed that the woman was killed
instantly, but that the man had been roused from his sleep before the
murderer could slash his throat.  Then followed a remarkable silent but 
deadly struggle.  That MUCCIO made a fight for his life was undoubted.
A big cut on his right wrist showed, where had tried to seize the small
hatchet from his assailant.
HAD NO ENEMIES
 MUCCIO had few if any enemies, it was learned.  All his neighbors said 
that as far as they had been able to learn, he had been involved in no
difficulties.  No threats had been made against him.
 One of the detectives said he though that MUCCIO had been murdered
first, and that his wife had knelt before the assassin and prayed for her 
life, but had been immediately struck down.  The kneeling attitude of 
the body when found seemed to suggest this.
 It was said that the MUCCIOs had about $200 stowed away in their bedroom.  
The fact that TEDESCA had a similar amount when arrested makes it look 
bad for him, the police say.
 Later in the day, TEDESCA made another statement in which he declared
he had found the money which was discovered in his pocket.  He was
positively identified by TUOMA as MUCCIO's three-days boarder.

SUICIDE CONVICT BROUGHT TO HIS HOME FOR BURIAL
Charles DICKERSON, who killed himself by drinking muriatic acid in

Corona, in a fight.  He got fifteen years.  His mother died recently,

MURDERER REVEALS REFUGE BY 'PHONE
Rocco FAZZALONI, 20 years old, employed in Joseph UNGER's saloon, 
on Sixtieth street, near Fifteenth avenue, last night ended a quarrel of
long standing by plunging a carving knife into the heart of Pasquale 
MONPRICI, who boarded over the saloon.  The men, friends in Sicily and
for several years after coming to this country, fell out because MONPRICI 
had displaced FAZZALONI in the affections of a young Italian woman
living in the colony of New Utrecht avenue and Sixtieth street.  They were 
standing in front of the saloon last night with several countrymen, when
the quarrel was renewed, and MONPRICI punched the other in the face.
  FAZZALONI ran into the saloon and taking a big carving knife from behind
the lunch country, returned to the street and stabbed MONPRICI between 
the shoulders.  The blade of the knife penetrated to the heart and MONPRICI  
fell against the saloon door dead.
  FAZZALONI fled after the stabbing.  The police found the bloody knife in
the street a block away.
  Detective VACHRIS, of the Headquarters squad, was sent out to try to
find the man.  Some delay had given the murderer a chance to get to a
car and the ferry or the bridge.  It was some hours after the tragedy
when VACHRIS, who had made many inquiries in the neighborhood,
chanced to stand in UNGER's barroom talking with a man who was
telling him something of the relations between the two Italians.  At that
moment the telephone bell rang.  VACHRIS walked over to the instrument 
before anybody realized what he was doing and asked, "Who's this?"
  The answer came in Italian.  VACHRIS is also of that race and he began 
to talk with the man at the other end of the wire in his own language.
He asked the question over again and an answer cam back that surprised
him so much that he almost dropped the receiver.  The answer was
"FAZZALONI," the very man for whom VACHRIS was looking.
"Where are you?" asked VACHRIS in Italian.
  The man replied that he was at a railway station in Jersey, whither he
had fled immediately after the affray.  He said he wanted a friend, whom
he named, to come to him immediately.
"All right," said VACHRIS.  "I'll see that somebody comes to you."
 The words had a sinister meaning that the fugitive could not detect.  He 
had been talking to the very man he was trying to elude.

VACHRIS hung up the receiver, left the saloon and started at once for
New Jersey, where he hopes to capture his man and bring him back to
be arraigned in court before nightfall.

12 May 1906
POLICEMAN SHOT DEAD; TENANTS TELL OF BURGLARS
Frederick W. SNYDER, a special policeman, 36 years old, of 10 Jackson 
street, was shot and instantly killed early to-day in the hallway of the 
three-story brick building at 254 Union avenue. One man, Vincent 
MORELLO, 38 years old, a furniture dealer, who lives in the rear of his
store in the building where the shooting occurred, is under arrest on a
charge of homicide, but the evidence so far fails to show that he fired
the shots.
 According to the story MORELLO told the police after he was arrested,
burglars entered the building, and in the alarm that was raised SNYDER
appeared on the scene and was shot down by the intruders.
REVOLVER ON MAN ARRESTED.
The prisoner denies that he fired a (cut off) although he admits that he ran
from the bedroom armed with a revolver.  When he was arrested and the
revolver examined it was found that the chambers were filled with loaded
shells.  The police say, however, that the Italian had time to reload the
weapon before a policeman reached the house.
 The shooting occurred shortly after 1 o'clock.  SNYDER, who was employed
as a special policeman at New Assembly (cut off), Driggs avenue and 
Eckford street, was visiting a friend, Harry RAFFERTY, on the second floor
of the house where the shooting occurred.  Earlier in the night he had been 
playing cards in the saloon of A. MANGOLD, at 252 Union avenue, which
is on the opposite corner of (cut off)kson street from MORELLO's furniture
store.  When the saloon closed for the night SNYDER and RAFFERTY went
to the home of the latter, where they found that RAFFERTY's aunt, Mrs.
Mary RAFFERTY, had prepared supper for them.
THREE SHOTS HEARD.
While the three were eating they were (cut off)used by a commotion in the
MORELLO apartments below.  There were shouts of "police" and screams 
from a woman and children.  SNYDER ran from the room and down the
stairs.  A minute later three shots rang out and by the time Harry RAFFERTY
reached the first floor he found SNYDER lying lifeless at the food(sic) of 
the stairs.  Blood was flowing from wounds in his head.  Standing in the 
hall near the body was MORELLO.  In his hand was a revolver.
 RAFFERTY ran into the street and yelled for the police.  Policeman John
Mc(cut off)LLAN, of the Herbert street Station, heard the shouts and hurried
to the house.  He called an ambulance from the Eastern District Hospital
and also summoned the patrol wagon.  When Dr. (cut off)EDMAN arrived he
found that one bullet had hit SNYDER in the right temple, another in the left
eye and the third in the breast.
			MORELLO ARRESTED.
MORELLO was hurried to the station house, where he calmly told a connected 
story of what had happened. He said that he and his wife were asleep in a
room at the rear of the house directly behind the store.  In the same room, in
another bed, were the four children of the MORELLOs.  These are Michael,
10 years old, Tony, 8 years old, Marie, 6 years old, and a girl baby, 2 years
old.  Suddenly MORELLO was aroused by his oldest son shouting that there
were thieves in the house.
 MORELLO jumped from his bed, grabbed his revolver, which lay on the table 
near by, and ran into the hall that runs into the building beside the store.
As he reached the hall he say three shots rang out and then three men ran
from the hallway and disappeared.  MORELLO said he did not fire a shot.
			BOY'S STORY OF BURGLARS.
MORELLO's story is borne out by the version of the affair given by his
oldest son, Michael, who says he was awakened by the wound of some one
working at the window latch close beside his father's bed.  At the rear of the
store, on the Jackson street side of the building, is a a low fence, and it
would be easy for a man to vault this to get to the rear of the building.
 Instead of making an outcry at once, Michael says he waited and saw the
man raise the window and step into room.  The thief then stole between the
two beds in the room and unlocked the door leading into the hall.  Next
the intruder opened the door that leads to the yard at the rear of the hall,
and a moment later three men stepped into the room where the family were.
It was when he saw the three men, Michael says, that he yelled for his 
father.  
				BURGLARS DISCOVERED.
When the burglars found that they were discovered they ran out into the hall.
The shooting followed immediately, too quick, the boy says, for his father to
have time to reach the foot of the stairs where SNYDER's body was found.
The police cross-questioned the boy, but could not shake his story of the
three men entering the room.  An examination of the rear yard and the window
did not throw any light on the matter.  The latch of the window had been 
broken for some time and the sash could be raised easily from the outside.
 When MORELLO was taken to the Manhattan avenue police court this
morning a charge of homicide was preferred against him by Policeman
McQUILLAN.  The prisoner made no statement and the magistrate held him
without bail to await the action of the Coroner.  The autopsy will be 
performed on the body of SNYDER to-day, and then the calibre of the bullets 
that killed him will be determined.  MORELLO' revolver was of the .38 calibre size.
				DEAD MAN OF WEALTHY FAMILY
SNYDER was well known in the neighborhood of his home.  He was separated 
from his wife and lived with his 18-year-old son Fred and a brother, Henry W. 
SNYDER, at the Jackson street house.  The family at one time was one of the 
best know in old Williamsburg.  His grandfather settled in the section more 
than seventy-five years ago.  He had a large farm in which is now the Fifteenth 
Ward. As the city grew and the land became valuable the family found itself wealthy.
 MORELLO has always borne a good reputation in the neighborhood.  He has
made money since coming to America half a dozen years ago.  He and
SNYDER were known to be friends.  The house in which the shooting occurred
was the property of the dead man.

KILLED THE BURGLAR WHO ENTERED HIS HOME.
A burglar, said to be William HICKEY, of 516 West Thirty-ninth street, was
shot and killed early this morning in front of 417 West Thirty-ninth street,
Manhattan, by Patrick McGUIRE, a truckman of 359 West Thirty-ninth street,
who had been aroused by the man entering his apartment.  The burglar fired 
several shots at McGUIRE, when called on to halt, and McGUIRE returned 
the fire.

INVALID HUSBAND SEES WIFE SLAIN
Mrs. Lena HOPPER, about 50 years old, was choked to death in her
apartments in a tenement at 225 East Seventy-fifth street, Manhattan, early
to-day.  While the murderer was choking, beating and assaulting the woman,
her husband lay in his bed unable to rise or give an outcry, because he is
suffering from inflammatory rheumatism.
James McPARTLAND, of 410 East Seventy-fifth street, who was employed as
a night watchman of the building in which the tragedy occurred, and which is
undergoing repairs, is under arrest charged with the crime.  The motive for 
the murder has not as yet come to light.  HOPPER's story of the crime is as
follows:
"Early this morning I was trying to forget my hurts from rheumatism and 
weakness from old age -- I am 74 years old -- when there came a knocking
at the door.  I told Lena not to open, but a man's voice cried out 'I will 
brain all of you if you don't open up.'  Then Lena got up.  I tried to rise, 
but it hurt me, and I was too weak.  She opened the door and in rushed McPARTLAND.
He grabbed Lena at once and hurled her to the floor.  I tried to yell, but 
couldn't make a sound.  I saw him choke my wife.  She tried to yell, but McPARTLAND
had her in his grasp and repeatedly struck her.  Then McPARTLAND started
out of the room.  I don't know how I did it, but I got to my feet somehow and
reached the window, where I shouted as loudly as I could for help.  Then
McPARTLAND turned on me and said that he would choke me to death
unless I kept still.  He then rushed from the building.  The firemen of Engine
Company No. 44, next door, came to us and I told them what had occurred.
They found Lena dead and notified the police."
 Mrs. HOPPER had been housekeeper in the building for several years.
McPARTLAND, the police say, was recently released from Sing Sing, where
he served seven years for killing an old beggar woman.
  The HOPPER couple were well off.  At one time Mrs. HOPPER held a mortgage  
on the house, and it was current gossip in the neighborhood that she had 
large sums of money hidden in her home.  Lately alterations of the building were 
begun and all of the tenants were required to move, the HOPPERs alone retaining
their rooms.

HEART DISEASE KILLS MILLIONAIRE CRAIG

success.  He returned to the East in 1867, starting a paper mill in Middle
Grove, N.Y.  That started him on the upward ladder to wealth, and since then
his business gradually developed.  He was one of the leading paper men in the 
United States.  His firm is that of H. G. Craig & Co., with chief offices at 
47 Murray street, Manhattan.  Mr. CRAIG was a life-long worker for charity,

13 May 1906
BELIEVE MORELLO KILLED SNYDER
After an investigation of the shooting of Frederick SNYDER, the special
policeman, of 10 Jackson street, who was shot down in the hallway of
254 Union avenue early yesterday morning, the Herbert street police
have come to the conclusion that Vincent MORELLO, who has a furniture
store in the same building, fired the shot.  They say they have evidence to
show that after the shot was fired MORELLO hid the revolver with the empty
shell, and on the arrival of Policeman McQUILLAN he had provided himself
with filled cartridges.  The revolver in the possession of the police is rusty
and shows indications of having laid in a bureau drawer for some time.
  The police are convinced that the shooting was largely accidental, and 
that the Italian was laboring under the impression that burglars were in the
house.  Directly above his apartments SNYDER, Harry RAFFERTY and
the latter's aunt, Mrs. Mary RAFFERTY, were moving about, and it would
have been easy for the Italian on being awakened suddenly to think that
thieves were in the house.  The 11-year-old son of the Italian still insists
that he saw three men enter the room where the family was sleeping, but
the police are inclined to think that the boy was dreaming.
  Capt. KNIPE, of the Herbert street station, yesterday afternoon had a talk
with Mrs. RAFFERTY and her nephew. From what he learned from the
woman he is convinced that the shooting was done by the Italian and that
there were no burglars in the house.
  Mrs. RAFFERTY said she heard nothing until the shouts of "Police" from 
the apartments under her. After SNYDER had run from the room and down
the stairs Mrs. RAFFERTY went into the hall on the second floor.  She
heard one shot fired and as she looked over the railing she saw MORELLO
standing near the body.  She says she saw Mrs. MORELLO come out of 
the rooms behind her husband and that she heard MORELLO tell his
wife to take the revolver and hide it.  MORELLO, she says, seemed to be
so badly frightened that he did not realize what he was doing.
  The autopsy on SNYDER's body was performed yesterday afternoon by
Coroner's Physician WUEST.  It showed that only one shot had been
fired.  At first the police thought three shots had been fired, but the 
autopsy revealed that what were believed to have been bullet wounds 
on the forehead were bruises caused by SNYDER striking his head when 
he fell.  The bullet that killed him penetrated his breast.

DONOVAN -- Elizabeth, Widow of the late Andrew DONOVAN, native of
County Cork, Ireland.  Died May 11th, aged 84 years at the residence of

residence, 1021 Putnam ave., Brooklyn; thence to the Church of Our
Lady of Good Counsel, Putnam and Ralph aves.  Interment at Holy Cross.  

JOHN A. SCHWARZ
The funeral of John A. SCHWARZ took place on Wednesday morning.
The Roman Catholic Church of St. Michael, on Jerome street, was crowded
with mourners.  The many societies which claimed the deceased as a
member were well represented, and many old-time residents of the Eastern
District and East New York were in the gathering.  The mass of floral
testimonials was perhaps the largest ever carried into the church, and
included remembrances of sympathy from relatives, friends and business
associates.  Altogether there were seventy-five floral pieces.  Among them
was a large harp of white roses from the Concordia Singing Society, a
great cross of ivy leaves and flowers from Ivy Lodge, Knights of Honor;
large wreaths of pink and white roses from the East New York Eichenkranz,  
Atlantic Council, Royal Arcanum, and the Foresters' Association of the
Bushwick Hospital.  The employes of Mr. SCHWARZ sent a floral piece 
eight feet high, made of pink roses in the form of a wreath.  The solemn
mass of requiem was celebrated by the Rev. Casimir LUTFRING, assisted
by the Rev. Fathers KRAUS and ASGARIUS.  The remains were placed 
in a receiving vault at St. John's Cemetery.
  Mr. SCHWARZ died last Sunday afternoon, passing away at his residence,
75 Schenck avenue.  He was for many years closely identified with the
business and social life of East New York and always took a keen interest  
in local affairs of advancement and improvements.
  His death was caused by dropsy.  About nine weeks ago Mr. SCHWARZ
returned home from Palm Beach, Florida, where he had gone last January,  
but his condition grew steadily worse and alarmed his friends who had
hoped that his trip South might do him good.
  He was a devoted husband and father and many residents of the East New 
York and Bushwick sections of the borough who knew him personally,
either in a business or social way, extend heartfelt sympathy to the wife
and boys who survive.
  Mr. SCHWARZ was born in the Sixteenth Ward, Jan. 6, forty-seven years 
ago, and had always lived there until about eight years back, when he
removed to the Twenty-sixth Ward.  He was the son of Stanislaus and Sophie 
SCHWARZ, and his father was a well-known Eastern District builder.  When 
he was a young man he entered the employ of Adam (cut off) furniture house, 
and he quickly rose to be a master of the business.  Twenty-five years ago 
next September Mr. SCHWARZ married Margaret BLOETH, and they were
making extensive preparations to celebrate their silver wedding.  Besides
his wife there survive the deceased, four sons, John A., Albert S., Frank X., 
 and Edward G. SCHWARZ.  The first three name of these sons will carry
on the business of their father.
  He was a member of many social organizations and was a prince of good 
fellows in many ways.  He was for some years the president of the old
Broadway Park Guard, and the annual meeting of that organization and of
the John A. SCHWARZ Association used to be a great event at the upper
Broadway picnic ground.  He was a man of very charitable disposition and
frequently helped out former boon companions.  He was much interested

ELOPERS NABBED AT PIER FOR MURDER
No sooner had the liner Graf Waldersee, of the Hamburg-American Line,
arrived at her dock in Hoboken, yesterday afternoon, than United States
deputy marshals boarded her and held back the passengers until they
had identified and arrested Wilhelm MEYER and a woman name Sophie
CHRISTIANI.  There was great excitement among the passengers when
it was learned that the couple were taken into custody for a brutal
murder in Germany.  The crime promises to develop into an international
sensation.  The victim of the murder, a Mrs. VOGEL, was a young and
beautiful widow, formerly a wealthy resident of San Francisco.  The story 
of the crime, as brought to this country, is revolting.  Mrs. VOGEL's body 
was disposed of by placing it in a trunk and leaving it with a transportation
company.
  There is no doubt that MEYER thought he would be safe in the United
States before the crime for which he was arrested was discovered.  Once
in this country, pursuit would have been difficult.  Several days ago, 
however, word was received here from the German police to arrest MEYER 
and his companion.  Great secrecy was maintained here because it was thought
that the friends of the couple might in some way warn them of the danger 
that confronted them.
  The arrests were made by Deputy United States Marshal REED and 
BURKHARDT.  They clapped handcuffs on the man, as he was in a highly  
nervous state, and it was feared that he would attempt to commit suicide.  
The woman collapsed completely.  She insisted that MEYER was her
husband, and that she knew nothing about the crime with which she is
charged.
  According to the information that has been gathered thus far MEYER 
lived for several years in this country, and had been engaged in the
furniture business in San Francisco and New Orleans.  In the former 
place he became acquainted with Mrs. VOGEL.  She also was of
German birth.  MEYER, it seems, lost no time in making love to her.
She agreed to return to the Fatherland with him, and they settled down 
together on a farm she owned at Wildungen, in the principality of
Waldeck.
  It soon became evident that the two could not live happily together.  
The demands of MEYER for money occasioned many quarrels.  About two
months ago Mrs. VOGEL had to appeal to the police for protection, and
MEYER was placed under bonds.
  There was much speculation in Wildungen when Mrs. VOGEL suddenly
disappeared.  The last seen of her at that place was on April 21.  On that 
day MEYER also disappeared.  The country folk finally concluded that
the two had patched up their differences and departed for the United
States, as they had talked of doing.
  A few days afterwards MEYER was seen in Frankfort.  He had a large
and heavy trunk, which he removed from the railroad station to an express 
company's storage room, and gave instructions that it was to be kept
there for three months, as he was going abroad.
  After disposing of the trunk, MEYER wrote for pretty Sophie CHRISTIANI,  
in Wildungen.  She joined him and they remained in Frankfort about a week 
and on April 29 they boarded the Graf Waldersee.
  MEYER's downfall came about because he overlooked the fact that a clue 
would be given by the decomposition of the woman's body.  An employe
of the express company traced the odor to the trunk.  When the receptacle 
was broken open, it was found to contain the body of Mrs. VOGEL, over 
which had been thrown a considerable quantity of chloride of lime.  It was 
said that the body was horribly mutilated.  Little difficulty was experienced 
by the Frankfort police in connected MEYER with the murder.  A description   
was at once cabled to the United States and the man's arrest yesterday as 
the Graf Waldersee docked was the result.
  A crowd gathered on the Hoboken pier as MEYER and the woman were 
taken from the vessel.  The man refused to talk, but declared that he was 
an American citizen and would insist on his rights as such.  The prisoners  
were taken to Manhattan and lodged in the Tombs.  The woman was in a 
pitiable condition when she arrived at the prison.  She declared that she 
was married to MEYER before they left German, that she thought that
her husband was wealthy in his own right and had a furniture business 
in this country.
  The police expect that MEYER will make a bitter fight against extradition.  
The United States authorities are awaiting further instructions from Germany.

COMMITTED SUICIDE ON FATHER'S GRAVE
William BORSE, a member of a family prominent for three generations
in Flushing, was found dead yesterday morning in the BORSE plot in
Flushing Cemetery.  There was a bullet hole in his mouth, and a
revolver lay beside the body.  He had been dead several hours when
found.
 It is believed that BORSE, who was 33 years old, had become despondent   
over ill fortune and returned from Staten Island and to his old home to end  
his life.  He had lost a foot while employed on a Staten Island railroad.
 His father was Frederick, his grandfather Frederick A., and his great
grandfather Barney BORSE.  The last named was one of the early
settlers of Flushing.  The young man's body was found lying across
his father's grave.  Apparently he had knelt beside it and shot himself.

PECULIAR ASPHYXIATION OF TWO YOUNG WOMEN
Although their window was wide open, two young women were
asphyxiated by gas escaping in their room at 220 State street
yesterday morning.  Their bodies were discovered by Frank
ANDERSON, who lives in the same house and he notified the police.

ANDERSON discovered that the lace curtain in the room occupied
by the girls, Christina FELIZO, nineteen years old, and Margaret
CARROLL, twenty-two years old, was blazing and the smoke coming
through the window.  He rushed to the room, and found that it was
full of gas despite the fact that the gas fixture itself was lighted and
that the lace curtain was burning.  The two young women were
unconscious and after extinguishing the fire with his hands, he called 
an ambulance from Long Island College Hospital.  Dr. WILLIAMS,
who responded, found that both were dead.  After the Coroner had
viewed them, permission was given for their removal, and the body of
Miss FELIZO was taken to Newburg, N.Y., where her mother lives.
Both the girls were employed in a Fulton street department store.
 It was found that the gas fixture had leaked because of a break that
had been made in an unaccountable manner, and filled the room with
the poisonous fumes.

DIES AFTER BEING RESCUED FROM BAY
After being rescued from drowning by his friends, John BEHRENS, 50
years old, of 1152 DeKalb avenue, died in the club house of the Bergen
Beach Yacht Club, yesterday.  Mr. BEHRENS, with five companions,
started on a fishing trip in Jamaica Bay, using a naphtha launch
belonging to a member of the party.  They fished with poor luck for a
while, and then decided to move toward Barren Island, where the 
fishing might be better.
The launch started off slowly, and then spurted.  Mr. BEHRENS, who
was sitting on the stern rail, was thrown backward by the sudden spurt
and fell into the water.  Robert FINLEY, of 223 Irving avenue, one of the
fishing party, promptly jumped in the water after him and was followed
by his 15-year-old son, William.  BEHRENS was alive, but unconscious
when the two rescuers landed him and he was taken to the Bergen
Beach Yacht Club.  All the way to the club efforts were made to restore
the man to consciousness, and the party was met there by Dr. MORRISON  
of the Kings County Hospital.  He worked over Mrs. (sic) BEHRENS for
more than two hours.  At the end of that time, it was determined that
life was extinct.

MOTHER DEAD, FATHER AWAY, CHILDREN STARVING
Their father away, visiting his mother, and their mother lying in her room
dead, three children of Richard DOODY, a letter carrier of 101 Martense
street, Flatbush, were found huddled together in the rooms they occupied,
half dead from fright and hunger, by a family friend, John C. HAWKINS, of 
2409 Church avenue.  When HAWKINS entered he asked the children 
where their parents were.  The oldest child, a boy of 8, said the father had
not been home since Saturday.  The other children are two little girls,
one of them an infant.  The other told HAWKINS their mother was in the
bedroom.
HAWKINS tried the door and finding it locked, hurried to the Flatbush
police station.  Capt. REYNOLDS quickly returned to the DOODY home
with him, and together the two force open the door of Mrs. DOODY's
bedroom.
Fully dressed, Mrs. DOODY lay upon her bed, dead.  Mrs. DOODY had 
been dead nearly twenty-four hours.
 Since their mother had locked herself in her room, the children made
several attempts to get into the room and called in vain for "mother."
They had had nothing to eat since Sunday evening, although there 
was plenty of food in the house.
DOODY, when seen to-day, said he had gone to his mother's intending
to fix her garden.  He said his home life had been perfectly happy and
that there was no reason to believe his wife was a suicide.  She was
subject to heart trouble and he believed this was the cause of her death.

JUMPS FROM WAGON TO DEATH UNDER TROLLEY
Six-year-old Samuel GARFMANN, of 1046 DeKalb avenue, was run over
and almost instantly killed by a trolley car of the DeKalb avenue line,
between Reid and Stuyvesant avenues, late yesterday afternoon.
 The boy was stealing a ride behind a wagon and in jumping off ran
directly in front of car No. 789, which was going in the opposite direction 
at a rapid rate.  Before Motorman William CASSIDY, of West Second
street and Neptune avenue, Coney Island, could apply the brakes the
wheels of the car had passed over the child, mangling him in a horrible

ONE KILLED, THREE HURT IN DYE WORKS ACCIDENT
 In some unexplained manner a drying machine in the dye room of the
factory of Julius Kayser & Company, manufacturers of underwear and
gloves, at 222 to 230 Graham street, exploded late yesterday afternoon,
and one man was killed by the flying fragments of metal and three 
others injured.
 The drying machine is an iron tank in the form of an ellipse, resting on a
pivot.  In this the dyed goods are thrown and afterward the tank is
whirled rapidly around.  The drying room is kept at a high temperature,
and the dyed material, when whirled round in the machine is freed from
dampness very quickly without affecting the original shade obtained in
the color tanks.
 It was nearly closing time yesterday when the man in charge of the tank
shut off the power which operates the machine and instantly the room was
filled with flying fragments of steel.  One of them struck Peter ANTHONY,
a dyer, of 174 Ellery street, fracturing his skull and killing him instantly. 
  The other men hurt were Emil ELBRECHT, 34 years old, of 1123 Willoughby 
avenue; in charge of the drying machine, who had his right hand severely
cut and his left leg injured by flying pieces of metal; Hugh REIBLING,
30 years old, of 21 Sumner avenue, a machinist, cuts on the left leg, and 
Frederick GOODRICH, 22 years old, of 107 Throop avenue.  GOODRICH 
was struck in the head with a piece of metal and his scalp laid open.
He was taken to the Cumberland Street Hospital.
 Those in charge at the factory could not account for the accident.  It was
the opinion of the experts, however, that the metal in the tank was
defective, and that the break was caused by a slight flaw.

ONE KILLED, NINETEEN HURT IN REAR-END COLLISIONS
Pleasure seekers bound for Coney Island last night in search of
excitement on board the cars of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company
were treated to plenty of it in two rear-end collisions.  In the first of
these accidents, which occurred on the Culver line at what is known as
"Dead Man's Curve," just north of the bridge across Coney Island Creek,
one unidentified man was killed and eight other passengers were injured,
when a (?)  motor train express crashed into one (?) car, which had been
stopped by the linemen who were making repairs to the wires.
 The second collision occurred at 10 A.M., on the Culver road at Gravesend
avenue and Neck road, when motor train 1306 ran into trolley 1034 of the
(?) avenue line.  This car was driven from the impact of the collision into
car (?) of the Nostrand avenue line, which was ahead of it and, when the
list of those who required surgical attention had been made up by the
police, it was found that eleven persons had been injured.
TRAIN HANDS NEGLIGENT
It is believed that the first accident, which occurred at 5:10 P.M. was 
caused by inexperienced train hands not running up the track and 
flagging the express when their train was stopped.  The police of the
Coney Island station are investigating and arrests are expected.
 The dead man in the first accident was about 38 years old, five feet
eleven inches in height, weighed 180 pounds, dark complexioned, and 
wore dark plaid coat and vest and black striped trousers.  In his pockets
were a pawn ticket made out to George FOREMAN and a meal ticket
on the New York Lunch Room, Avery and Kensington Walk, Coney
Island.  He was not known there.

CATBOAT CAPSIZED; BROKER DROWNED
Charles REDFERN, an insurance broker, was drowned by the upsetting
of a catboat in which he and two companions had been on a a trip up the
Sound off Point View, near College Point, last night.  The two other
occupants of the board were rescued and taken to the Flushing Hospital.
  Mr. REDFERN was 33 years old, unmarried, and lived at 408 East 123d
street, Manhattan.  His companions on the trip were Carl BAHLMAN, 22
years old, and engineer, of 426 Fifty-sixth street, and William KIRKE, 42
years old, an insurance broker, 1254 First avenue, Manhattan.  They
embarked in a catboat at College Point early yesterday afternoon for a
sail up the Sound, and were on their way back when the accident happened.  
A sudden squall overtook their little craft and the three men were thrown into
the water.
  REDFERN was swept away, but his companions managed to get hold of the 
overturned boat and held on, while they shouted for the help.  The capsizing
of the boat had been witnessed by Percy JACKSON, of North Beach, who  
was out in the launch "Quo Vadis," and who at once turned his boat in the
direction of the upset catboat and speeded to the rescue.  When he reached 
the overturned craft he found KIRKE clinging to the end of the mast, which
lay along the surface of the water, the boat having half righted itself.
  JACKSON managed to get KIRKE into the launch and then started after
BACHLMAN (sic), who was some distance away, swimming toward the
shore.  BACHLMAN had also had hold of the mast, but had let go and
started to swim to land.  When the launch reached him, he was hauled
aboard by JACKSON, who then cruised around for a short time in search  
of REDFERN, but failed to find him.  REDFERN was unable to swim and
probably sank immediately after the boat went over.
  After giving up the search for REDFERN, JACKSON speeded his boat for 
Flushing and on arriving there sent in an ambulance call to the Flushing
Hospital, as the rescued men were in an exhausted condition.
  It was said at the hospital late last night that the men were rapidly
recovering and would be able to be out to-day.

of the tragedy.  The prisoner would not make any statement last night.

SONS IN FEAR OF DEATH
Fearing their lives were in danger if they appeared in the Manhattan avenue 
court to testify against the murderer of their father, Michael, who was
stabbed to death in front of his home in Graham avenue, Robert and Joseph  
MARCANTUNO went to the Herbert street police station to-day and appealed  
for protection.  They said they were convinced the friends of the man
charged with the murder intended to kill them if they did not drop the case.  
Capt KNIPE sent them to the court under the guard of a policeman.
  James BASLIN, who is accused of having stabbed MARCANTUNO, had
nothing to say and was held without bail to await the action of the Coroner.
His father, Philip, and brother, Joseph, who were arrested on a charge of
assault, were held.
 The funeral of the murdered man was held this morning and a large crowd
of his friends followed the body of the cemetery.

TWO DEAD; FIVE HURT IN MANHATTAN TUBE
Two men were killed and five injured, two of them perhaps fatally, by
the fall of a mass of rock loosened by a blast in the tunnel under 
Thirty-third street, Manhattan.  The accident happened in the western
extension of the tunnel which is to connect Manhattan and Long Island
City.  A gang of fourteen men were at work blasting.  A blast was
exploded and the men started back to the spot to clear away the
debris.  The tunnel at that point, which is almost directly under Second
avenue, is nearly thirty feet high.  A mass of rock weighing several
hundred tons which had been loosened by the blast, but had not
fallen at first, dropped suddenly the full thirty feet, landing among the
workmen.  A rock weighing two tons caught a negro and an Italian, whose
names have not yet been learned, crushing them to pulp.
 The injured men are:  
Winschauhie DEFALISHA, fractured skull and injured thigh; 
N. BOSTOREY, compound fracture of the skull, left leg broken, back wrenched; 
Samuel ANDRESS, 238 West Sixty-fourth street, scalp would, internal injuries; 
A. FORTE, left knee broken;
M. HART, 641 Fifth street, lacerations of leg and body.  
The first three name who are in a serious condition were taken to Bellevue.
FORTE was attended and taken home, while HART, after having his
injuries, dressed returned to work.
William GORMAN is foreman of the blasting gang.  He was arrested.
The bodies of both men killed by the fall of rock were recovered later in
the day from under the mass of stone.  They were identified as Alfonzo
SALPRE and Joseph FARRELL, negro.

SLAYS DAUGHTER AND THEN HIMSELF
Hackensack, N.J., May 22 -- In a fit of temporary insanity John COLE,
who for many years had been an engineer on the boats of the Union
Ferry Company, Brooklyn, attacked his wife and his 20-year-old daughter,  
Mary, with an ax early this morning, killing the daughter and injuring
his wife so severely that she is expected to die.  COLE then obtained
a revolver and shot himself, dying instantly.
 It is believed that COLE attacked his wife and daughter while they were
asleep in their beds.  He evidently arose from his bed and going to the
kitchen of their home obtained an ax.  Returning to his daughter's room
he must have hit her a fearful blow on the head with the ax as her skull
was laid open.  He then probably attacked his wife.  Mrs. COLE's scalp
was laid open and her skull fractured.  She will die.  Having rendered her
unconscious COLE thought he had killed her.  He then went to his
dresser drawer and taking his revolver turned it upon himself.  The bullet
pierced his right temple.
 COLE was well known in Brooklyn, having served on the Hamilton Ferry and
other lines for many years.  Until recently COLE and his family lived in
Corona, Queens.  COLE sold his home there a week ago and purchased a
new home at Woodcliffe, N.J.  He continued at his work on the ferryboat
Montauk, of the Hamilton Ferry line, until Saturday last and was expected
to report for work to-day.  He had been acting queerly of late and it is
believed his mind was affected by the heat while at work.
 Ernest JAMES, the young lover of the murdered girl, who was looking
forward to wed her soon, first heard of the tragedy when he reached his
place of business in West Twenty-fourth street, Manhattan, this morning.
He had taken breakfast with his sweetheart and her family but two hours
before in the farm house back of Woodcliffe, and the news was a terrible
shock to him.  He had spent Sunday with his fiance and her family and
the girl walked part of the way with him to the Woodcliffe station, when
he took what proved to be his final farewell of her, kissing her good bye 
and then hurrying for the early train.
 JAMES said that when he left the house in the morning there was no
indication that COLE contemplated committing such a deed.

BIG ST. BERNARD DOG KILLS LITTLE GIRL
Thrown heavily to the sidewalk by a St. Bernard dog, which dashed
swiftly around the corner in front of her father's store and bumped into
her, Matilda HOOYS, 10 years old, of No. 118 Kingsland avenue, died 
yesterday of a compound fracture of the skull.  Matilda would have
celebrated her eleventh birthday on June 7 next, Anniversary Day.
She had made preparations to parade with the other children in the 
Sunday school of the German Reformed Lutheran Church in Graham
avenue, and in the evening she was to have had a reception in her home
for her schoolmates.
While waiting in front of her father's store for some of these schoolmates
to accompany her to school on Friday, Matilda did not see the big St.
Bernard day(sic), running up the street.  As the dog swung around the
corner it struck the child and her head hit the stone pavement.  She was
rendered unconscious and some neighbors carried her into her father's
store.  Restorations were applied, and when she did not recover a
physician was called.  He found that the girl was suffering from a compound 
fracture of the skull.  An operation was performed, but she died yesterday.
Funeral services will be conducted tonight at her home by the Rev. M.
WALENTA, pastor of the German Reformed Emmanuel Church.  The
funeral will be in charge of Undertaker John K. WIEGAND, of 207 Nassau
avenue, and the burial will take place in Lutheran Cemetery.

PITCHES OFF BRIDGE TOWER, BOUNCED, DEAD INTO RIVER
Jacob RUCKERSTRONG, an employe of the Bridge Department, was at
work on the structure of the Williamsburg Bridge just east of the Brooklyn
tower yesterday afternoon when the scaffolding broke and he fell to the
foundation of the tower, a distance of ninety feet.  His body was bounced
into the East River.  After some search it was recovered, but every bone
in the body was broken.  He was killed instantly.

BODY FOUND IN RIVER
The police are to-day trying to clear the mystery surrounding the identity
of the man, whose disemboweled body was found floating in the North
River, off Twenty-seventh street, late yesterday afternoon.  The trunk and
head are now at the Morgue, but the legs have not as yet been located.
The police expect to develop a murder mystery not unlike the murder of
William GULDENSUPPE, who was put to death by Martin THORN and
Mrs. NACK.
At first the police were of the opinion that the man had been cut to pieces
by the propeller of a steamer.  Then it was shown that the cuts in the
man's flesh seemed to have been made by some sharp instrument and
that the bones were disarticulated with remarkable accuracy.  When the
body arrived at the Morgue it was inspected by several physicians who
gave it as their opinion that it had been dismembered by human hands.
In the opinion of the physicians, the body was that of a man of tremendous
stature.
It is believed that the man must have weighed 250 pounds.  He had brown
hair and a large brown moustache.  According to the attendants at the
Morgue the body had not been in the water more than two days.
Coroner SHRADY will hold an autopsy some time to-day.

After listening to the testimony of a score of witnesses a Coroner's jury

finding of the police that SPIER had shot himself after deceiving his wife
by the statement that there were thieves in the family home at 7 Tompkins
avenue, New Brighton, Staten Island, was accepted by the jury, chiefly
on the testimony of SPIER's secretary and H.H. ROGERS, Jr., son of
the Standard Oil chieftain.  SPIER's act was believed to have been the
result of his heavy losses in Wall street.

BEREAVED FATHER STAYS ANGRY MOB
Yesterday afternoon about 6 o'clock car No. 1483 of the St. John's place
line ran over a little five-year-old boy, the son of Thomas McCORMICK,
of 691 Bergen street.  The accident happened almost in front of the dead
child's home, as the child and his three small sisters were playing in front
of the house waiting for their father to come home.  The father is an ice
dealer, and reaches his home about 6 o'clock at night.
 Seeing their father's wagon turn the corner of Underhill avenue, which is
the corner nearest their home, the children set up a shout, "Here comes
father," and little John ran out into the street.  The car in charge of
Motorman Reuben M. ROWLEY, coming down the street pretty rapidly
was almost on the child before anything like a stop could be made,
though the motorman made frantic efforts to do so.  Seeing he could not
stop the car, he reached over the dashboard, and as the fender picked up
the child he made a grab for him, missed, and the child rolled off and 
under the forward truck of the car.
 The child's mother was standing in front of her home, having come out
when the children shouted that their father was coming.  She reached
there just in time to see her little one crushed by the car.
 A crowd of strong men and curious women quickly gathered and in 
response to the mother's plea to get her little boy out, the men obtained
some strong planks and overturned the car completely and picked up
the child.
An ambulance was summoned by Policeman John J. MEEHAN, of the
Grand avenue station, who then tried to disperse the crowd which by this 
time had reached nearly 1,000 persons.  Dr. Alfred WHITE, of the St.
John's Hospital, pronounced the child dead.  The body was removed to
the McCORMICK home.
A crowd of men tried to mob the motorman, but before then had an
opportunity, the child's father pushed his way to the font of the mob and
standing in front of the motorman, besought the crowd to stay their
fury, as he did not think the man had done the deed intentionally.
Mr. McCORMICK told the crowd that he realized the man's position
as he himself had run over a little boy about a year ago and had been
nearly mobbed in much the same manner as this crowd was trying to
do to the motorman.
His words had a soothing effect on the people, and the man was placed
under arrest, without any violence being done to him.  He is 30 years
old and lives in Canarsie.  The reserves from the Grand avenue station,
under the command of Capt. MURPHY, were called to scatter the crowd.
Traffic on the street was blocked for three hours.
After the child had been taken from under the car the men who had hold of
a plan, with which they were lifting the trucks of the car, let go very 
quickly, and a negro who was holding the extreme end did not let go quick 
enough.
The result was he went up with a bound as the plank was released landing
back on the plank in a sitting position, with a face that was nearly white.
As soon as he could recover his breath he let out a yell.  "Gollies!  Ah
wuz a goner shure, dat time!"
Motorman Reuben M. ROWLEY was held by Magistrate FURLONG, in the
Flatbush court, this morning, for an examination on a charge of homicide.
He repeated that he was not to blame for the boy's death.

his wife and son.  A letter, which was found on the grave, said in part:
"Being now in the seventy-ninth year of my age, by the laws of nature,
the end could not be far in the future, hence I anticipate it but little in
time.  I would have you think and know that I am in the full possession
of my mental faculties.  This act is but the logical result of my condition.
I have always had a dread of living until my mental faculties fail, and
I should fall into second childhood.
"This is no sudden resolve of mine; I have contemplated it ever since the
death of my son, in 1892.  I write this calmly and without excitement, with
the full appreciation of what I am doing.
"As the springtime of my life is past, my summer ended and the closing
season, the winter of age, is falling heavily upon me.  I go to my rest.
Farewell."

UNKNOWN KILLED BY TROLLEY CAR
A well-dressed man, apparently 60 years old, and weighing about 160
pounds, was run over by a westbound Fulton street car this morning at
8:00 o'clock as he was crossing the street at Spencer place.  The 
motorman did not see him until the car was almost upon him, and the
frantic efforts he then made to stop the car were of no avail.  The man
apparently did not see the car either, as bystanders say he seemed to
have walked right in front of the car without making any attempt to get
out of the way.
 The car struck him and knocked him to the pavement, and his body rolled
under the forward truck.  The body was extricated without much difficulty
and an ambulance summoned from St. John's Hospital by a policeman.
Ambulance Surgeon WHITE, who responded, said death had been
instantaneous.  The body was removed to the Classon avenue police
station in the ambulance and the Coroner notified.
 The body was so thorough mangled that hardly a bone escaped a 
fracture.  The neck was broken and the ribs were badly crushed.  Both
arms and the thigh bones were fractured.  The right leg received a
compound fracture and the left leg a simple break.  The face and hands
were much cut up.  Added horror was lent to the condition of the body
by the complete evisceration of the intestines.
 An examination of the man's clothing failed to reveal anything whereby
he might be identified.  His clothing, which was of a good quality and
well made, consisted of a blue sack suit, black lace shoes, brown socks,
fancy striped shirt, and white underwear.  He had a gold ring on his left
hand, set with a blood stone.  He was of light complexion, about five
feet seven inches in height, and had gray hair and mustache.
 The car was in charge of Motorman George ZAHNER, of 187 Rockaway
avenue, and Conductor Jacob BAUMAN, of 309 Sumpter street.  The
police arrested the motorman on a charge of homicide and took him to
Myrtle avenue court immediately, but as there was no Magistrate in
the court at the time the man was returned to the station house to be
held until to-morrow.

HURT, HURRYING HOME TO TELL OF FATHER'S DEATH
In his hurry to get to his home after being informed that his father had

of the Bridge early to-day, and as a result lies in the Hudson Street
Hospital with a fracture of the skull.  James KELLY, Sr., of 333 Water
street, Manhattan, died in Bellevue Hospital yesterday, and his son was
returning to his own home at Coney Island to inform his wife of the old
man's death when he got in front of a trolley car t the Bridge look and
was thrown to the ground.
When Policeman GIBA, of the Oak street station, went to the KELLY home
in Water street to inform the folks of Jim KELLY's death he was told they
knew he was dead.  Neighbors who had called in to sympathize refused to
listen to him when he tried to explain that the injured man was in the Hudson
Street Hospital.  The fact that the father was dead was on their minds and
they could not be brought to realize that the son had been injured.  Young
Jim's wife, Elsie, lives with him somewhere on Coney Island, but her exact
address is not know.

UNKNOWN ITALIAN MURDERED; OVER 20 WOUNDS ON BODY
With throat cut, from ear to ear, face horribly lacerated by razor slashes,
and twenty stiletto wounds in the back and chest, the body of an
unidentified man, the victim of a most gruesome murder, was found by a
watchman, Charles SHIRE, of 60 Rogers avenue, in the vacant lots at
President street and New York avenue, at 6 o'clock this morning.  SHIRE, 
who stumbled over the mutilated and bloody corpse, almost fainted at the
sight, and, though ill and weak, summoned Roundsman James McGARRY
of the Atlantic avenue station, who happened to be in the vicinity, and 
McGARRY gave the alarm.
     REVENGE THE MOTIVE
The dead man, an Italian, was about 45 years old, 5 feet 8 inches in height,
and weighed 175 pounds.  Clothes of good texture were found on the body,
and the fact that the man's gold watch and $1.85 of money were found upon
his person, (?)uses the police to believe that the motive of the crime was
revenge and not robbery.
 Roundsman McGARRY sent for an ambulance, and Surgeon WHITE of St. 
John's Hospital, said that the man had been dead for six hours, which would  
indicate that he was slain about midnight.  It was evident that the man
had engaged in a terrible struggle with the assailants in the lonely and dark
spot in which the body was found.  Blood was upon the stones, grass and
earth.  The man's right hand was lacerated to the bone, no doubt caused
by the grasping the razor as he was struggling.
 The body was dressed only in underwear, trousers, and shirt, the coat
and vest being missing.  They were later found, together with an umbrella,
in the lot some fifty years (sic) away from the body.  Nearby was also
found a ten-inch stiletto and a razor bloodstained and nicked.  The razor
was marked on one side "Perfection Razor," and on the other side "Will."
    BODY HORRIBLY MUTILATED
The condition of the body was horrible.  The man's face was nearly hacked
to pieces, one ear hung by a shred, the neck was chopped through in 
several places and the chest pierced a dozen times.  The police say it is 
the most shocking murder they have had to deal with in a long time.
 Not a clue has as yet been found to the murderer.  The police are inclined
to believe there was more than one assailant.  They also think the man was
lured here from New Jersey or elsewhere.
 The body was removed to the Morgue, and although hundreds of Italians
viewed it, none could identify it.  The Italians think the man is not from
this city.
 The case bears every evidence of "Black Hand" or "Mafia" work.  The police
are certain that robbery was not the motive.
 The body was dressed in black trousers with the white strip, blue shirt
and blue underwear.  A small gold ring, containing a moonstone, was 
upon his left hand.  The vest, found later, was of yellow plaid, and the
coat, blue serge.
 Almost the whole Headquarter's staff together with Capt. GALLAGHER
and Detectives GUNN and RICHARDSON are working on the case.
 An Italian was murdered in the same atrocious manner in the Bath Beach
section a short time ago, and the police think the same gang who killed
him and also COSTO, the butcher, may have committed this crime.

BURNS FATAL AFTER HOURS OF AGONY
Left along while his mother went into another room to prepare dinner, two-
year-old Amandus Frederick HAYE, of 197 Knickerbocker avenue, toddled
to a table where there was some matches.  He lighted one and then stuck
it into a full box.  As the matches blazed up, the child yelled with joy and
reached over for the flaming box.  When his mother came in to see what was
the cause of the youngster's chatter, he was writing on the floor enveloped
in flame.  Some of the matches had fallen on his dress and before his
mother could do anything for him, the clothing was burned from his body
and the child was shockingly burned.  The flesh peeled from his arms and 
legs as his mother lifted him from the floor, and when a physician came all
chance of saving the boy's life was gone.
 Not only had the little fellow been blistered and scorched from head to foot,
but he had inhaled the sulphurous fumes and flame of the burning matches.
It was not thought that he could live more than a few moments, but the 
child remained conscious suffering the most excruciating agony until after
11 o'clock last night.  Opiates were then administered and the child remained 
in a coma until midnight when death ended his suffering seven hours after
he had been burned.
Mrs. HAYE was prostrated by her infant's death.
The funeral services will be held to-morrow under direction of Undertaker
John K. WIEGAND, of 207 Nassau avenue.  The burial will be in St. John's
Cemetery.

INSURANCE MAN KILLED UNDER HIS OWN AUTO
Reuben J. TAYLOR, superintendent of the Continental Fire Insurance
Company, was so badly crushed yesterday when his automobile ran
down an embankment at Riverdale avenue and 232d street, Kingsbridge,
that he died at the Fordham Hospital.  Mr. TAYOR (sic) lived at the San
Remo, Central Park West and Seventy-fourth street.  He was 68 years old.
 He and his wife were out in a new automobile.  Coming along Riverdale
avenue they struck one of the numerous hills in that part of the city.  
They were well up the grade when the machinery became deranged and the car
stopped.
 Mr. TAYLOR was his own driver.  His wife sat in the rear seat.  He tried
to start the machine forward, but it would not go.  Then he put on the
reverse.  When he tried to shut off the backward power, however, he found
trouble in doing so.  The vehicle was backing toward an embankment at 
the right of the avenue.  There was a fall of about fifteen feet from the 
level of the road.
 Mrs. TAYLOR was able to jump out and she was not seriously injured.
The auto went down the incline and turned over when it reached the 
bottom.  Mr. TAYLOR was pinned underneath.  He was unconscious when
he was removed to the Fordham Hospital.  There is was said that he had
several ribs broken and had received internal injuries.  His wife remained
with him until he died.
