IDENTIFIES WOMAN FOUND DEAD IN PARK
The woman found dead in Riverside Park, Manhattan, Sunday morning while 
her evident companion on drunken revel, Clinton C. CLARK, of Columbus, 
Ohio, seamanon the battleship Indiana, was sleeping peacefully near her, 
was identified today by Patrick J. KIERNAN at the Morgue as his wife, 
Mary E. KIERNAN.  KIERNAN said the woman had left his home Saturday 
evening ostensibly to get some groceries, and never returned.
The inquest into the death of Mrs. KIERNAN will be held to-morrow.

as the officers are almost convinced the woman's death was due to an 
accident in falling from the wall above the park.

2 November 1906
ONE DEAD AND FOUR BURNED; FIRE RECORD FOR ONE DAY
INFANT SUFFOCATED IN CRADLE BY SMOKE WHILE MOTHER IS AWAY 
During Mrs. Marie MARIAGGLA's temporary absence in the rear yard of her 
home at 145 Twenty-first street, this morning an overheated stove in 
the kitchen set fire to the place, and the woman's seven months old infant, 
Josie, was suffocated as she lay in her cradle near the fireplace.
Mrs. MARIAGGLA noticed from the yard that something was wrong in her 
apartments on the third floor of the house and hastening upstairs was 
unable upon opening the door to enter the room, so dense was the smoke.  
Not a sound came from the child and it is doubtful if the mother could have 
saved her baby's life even had she gained access to the kitchen.
The fire damaged the building and contents about $800.  The house is owned 
by Alexander ADINOFF, of 763 Fifth avenue, and his loss is covered by insurance.
The police had Dr. STRATMAN summoned to the scene from the Norwegian Hospital, 
but he could only view the infant's remains when he arrived, pronouncing the
child dead from suffocation.

HURLED TWENTY FEET BY TRAIN: WILL DIE
No gates being lowered, although the gateman says he warned him, Herman ELLIS, 
45 years old, of 356 Rockaway avenue, drove his wagon across the tracks 
of the Long Island Railroad at Vesta and Pitkin avenues, this morning, and 
the wagon was struck by a freight train.  ELLIS was hurled twenty feet and 
now lies in the Bradford Street Hospital with injuries that will probably 
result in this death.  The wagon was wrecked and the horse killed.
ELLIS drives a wagon for Louis TELLER, a baker, of 1938 Pitkin avenue.  
In making his deliveries he had occasion to cross the Long Island Railroad tracks.  
A freight train was being made up and the engine was being shunted back and 
forth.  The gateman had not lowered the gates, as the train passed too often, 
at low speed.  ELLIS' right foot was so badly crushed that it was amputated 
this afternoon at Bradford Street Hospital.  His left arm was fractured and 
he also received a probable fracture of the skull.

DROWNED IN CESSPOOL HUNTING A BIRD
The body found in the cesspool in the yard of the Wick's ribbon factory in 
Woodhaven avenue, Glendale, yesterday, has been identified as that of 
John KARR, 17 years old, of 1640 DeKalb avenue, Brooklyn.  Sunday he left 
home with his brother to go hunting in the woods at Richmond Hill.  When 
near the factory he shot a bird and it fell in the factory yard.  He climbed 
over the fence to get it.  As he did not return his brother went into 
the factory yard to look for him.  Unable to find him he went home and 
with several friends returned and again searched for him in vain.  The 
cesspool in which the body was found is more like a pond and is surrounded 
by trees and brush, and it is believed that while searching for the bird he 
had shot he fell into the pond and was drowned.

FALLING WALL BURIES FIREMAN
Hicks Street Company Caught at Laundry Blaze and One Life is Lost
Six Others Are Hurt
Another Engine Company Has Narrow Escape
One fireman was killed and six members of the same company, Engine No.
103, were injured yesterday morning by the falling of a wall at a fire
which broke out in the boiler room in the basement of a four-story brick
building, extending from 86 to 92 Third street, owned by Edward H.
BANCKER, of 2217 Newkirk avenue, Flatbush, and occupied by the Pilgrim
Steam Laundry.  The loss is estimated at $75,000.  The one-story oval
brick ovens, with their tall chimneys, adjoining in the rear, and
fronting on Fourth street, were damaged about $3,000.

The fireman who lost his life was James W. MCCOSKER, 25 years old, of
110 North Eighth street.  The injured are:  John BLACK, 23, 590 Sixth
street, contusions, taken home; Owen WARD, 23, 337 Columbia street,
fracture of left leg, taken to Long Island College Hospital; John KELLY,
38, 91 Amity street, contusions, taken home; John FITZPATRICK, 26, 172
Hull street, fracture of right arm, removed to Long Island College
Hospital; James F. FINLAY, 24, 56 Wolcott street, fracture of left leg
and internal injuries, removed to Cumberland Street Hospital; Lieut.
John DONOVAN, contusions and lacerations, taken to his home at 657 Henry street.

The dead fireman and all those injured belonged to Engine Company 103,
with headquarters at 533 Hicks street.
Four alarms were turned in for the fire, Chief CROKER responding from
Manhattan to take charge, and Deputy Chief LALLY arriving on the second
alarm from Brooklyn headquarters.
The fire was pretty well under way above the basement floor when the
first detail of engines arrives and it was not long before the whole
interior was a seething mass, with the floors carrying down the
machinery on every story with the rapid progress of the flames.
The men of Engine 103, under orders, had mounted to the shed of a
one-story brick extension to the laundry plant, and had been at work
there less than half an hour when the rear wall began to bulge
perceptibly from the intense heat, and just as a portion of the crew of
Engine 104, of Degraw street, new Court, had been started on their way
to assist their comrades of No. 103, the wall toppled outward and
several tons of the debris falling on the extension shed and the firemen
stationed there, stove in the roof and carred the seven victims clear to
the cellar of the structure.
McCOSKER's body was crushed into an almost unrecognizable mass and at
least a ton of the fallen bricks and iron had to be removed before his
body could be reached by the rescuing party, comprising the members of
Engine 104.
Dr. CRANE, of the Long Island College Hospital; Dr. HEISER, of the
Cumberland Street, and Dr. HEWELL, of Seney Hospital, were early on the
scene with ambulances, and they took charge of the wounded.
Fireman MCCOSKER had been a member of the department nearly four years.
He was married and lived at the North Eighth street address with his
wife and four children.  The youngest child was born only two weeks ago,
and the mother was yet too ill to be informed of her husband's fate.
About 300 laundry hands and other help are thrown temorarily out of work
by the destruction of the Pilgrim plant.
The oven buildings in the rear of the larger building are owned and
operated by the New York Vitrified Tile Company.

avenue.  From there he went to the Washington place entrance of Fort
Greene Park and sat down on a bench.  He remained there, apparently in
deep thought for three hours.  Then, after writing the note to the
coroner, he pulled the revolver from his pocket and fired.  Several
women and a number of children who were near saw the old man take his life.

books.  The best known of these was his "Book of Many Men."  He owned

DRIVEN TO SUICIDE BY FAMILY TROUBLES
Thomas HAYWOOD, Separated from Wife, Inhales Gas and Dies
Family troubles, it is believed, led Thomas HAYWOOD, 60 years old, to commit 
suicide sometime this morning by inhaling gas in a furnished room he 
occupied at 473 Sixth avenue.
HAYWOOD was married, but separated from his wife owing to the many quarrels 
they had.  He rented a furnished room at the above address, and lived there 
by himself.  Last night he retired early, and nothing more was thought of 
him until this morning, when Chas. T. SAYA, a boarder in the house, smelled 
gas when he entered the hallway.  He immediately started to investigate, 
and traced the odor to HAYWOOD's room.  He forced the door and discovered 
HAYWOOD lying across his bed unconscious.  An ambulance was summoned from 
Seney Hospital, but Dr. HOWELL, who responded, could do nothing for him.
A letter was found on the dresser in the room addressed to a Mrs. LYNN, 
of 463 Fifth avenue, in which HAYWOOD requested her to take his trunk, 
as he did not expect to live very long after writing the letter.
The police of the Fifth avenue station were notified and the body was 
removed to the station house.  They say the case is undoubtedly one of 
suicide, and the only motive they can ascribe to the man's act is that 
he was despondent over his family troubles.

Thomas KIRKWOOD died on Thursday at his home, 106 Huron street, in his

sanitary engineers in the country.  The sanitary and drainage systems at

THREE CUT TO PIECES BY ENGINE
Fragments of Bodies Scattered Along Track for Several Hundred Feet
MEN WERE AT WORK IN N.Y. CENTRAL TUNNEL
One of the Victims Lived in Brooklyn
Without any warning, three men employed by the New York Central 
Railroad were run down and killed yesterday afternoon in the 
Park avenue tunnel, just above Fifty-six street, Manhattan, 
by a switch engine, and literally cut to pieces.  Fragments 
of their bodies were strewn along the track for several hundred 
feet, while the head of one of the men, which had been severed 
from the body, rolled toward the tunnel entrance.
The men who met their death were "bondsmen," who, with several 
others, were employed in securing the wire connections between 
the joints of the rails for the electrical power which is being 
installed.  Two of the men were at work on the rails and the other 
was a lookout, who, with a megaphone, warned them of the approach of 
trains.  It is thought that the engine which killed them came on 
so suddenly that the lookout had no time to warn the others, and, 
all becoming confused, did not jump from the track in time to 
save themselves.
The bodies of the dead and injured men were discovered by two 
inspectors of signals, who immediately informed Patrolman TOOMEY, 
of the East Fifty-first street police station.  TOOMEY called up 
the station house and the reserves were sent to the scene, where 
in a short time an immense crowd had collected.
The inside of the tunnel presented a gruesome sight.  The headless 
body of one of the men was found some distance away from the form 
of one of the others, which was crushed almost beyond recognition.  
The three bodies were taken to the signal tower, where they were 
held until Coroner SHRADY viewed them.  At the morgue they were 
identified from the pay checks found in their pockets.  The body 
of one of them was identified by Mrs. George LIBERTY as that of 
her husband, whose address is 16 Huntington street.  The other 
two victims were found to be Charles PIERSON, of 553 West 139th street, 
Manhattan, and John ULRICH, of 133 West 135th street, Manhattan.
The two other men who were also run down by the engine were taken, 
seriously injured, to the hospital, where it is said they cannot recover.
The driver of the engine, William McFARLEY, was arrested.

TWO, GRIEF STRICKEN, END LIVES WITH GAS
Mrs. WALLENTA, Surrounded by Dead Daugther's Trinkets, Inhales Deadly Fumes
Husband Returns to Find Body
Absence of Son Drives Mrs. LONG to Suicide
After distributing among the children of the neighborhood all the 
toys and playthings of her own little girl who died as the result 
of an accident two months ago, Mrs. Emma WALLENT*, 37 years old, 
the wife of an ornamental ironworker, committed suicide at her home, 
54 Tompkins avenue, yesterday, by inhaling illuminating gas.  
Before turning on the gas the unfortunate woman carefully prepared 
her shroud and laid it around her along with some trinkets cherished 
in life by her daughter.  No report of the suicide was made at the 
Vernon avenue station in which the precinct the suicide occurred and 
the first knowledge of the woman's tragic death came from the Coroner's office.
Since the death of her little girl, Lillian, 14 years old, about two 
months ago, Mrs. WALLENT had been despondent.  To her neighbors and 
friends she was known as a woman much devoted to her home and family.  
The little girl, her only daughter, fell down a flight of stairs.  
Her spine was injured as a result of the accident, and despite the 
efforts of specialists, the little one died.  The death cast gloom 
over the WALLENT homestead.  Mrs. WALLENT would sit by the window 
by the hour and fret and worry.  Her husband, fearing that the woman 
might try to do herself harm, had friends spend days with her, but 
she was not to be comforted.  On the day of the funeral she made 
the remark that she would soon follow her daughter.
The action of Mrs. WALLENT on Friday in distributing the toys and 
dolls belonging to her only child did not arouse the suspicions of 
Mr. WALLENT.  She summoned all of Lillian's former playmates and to them 
she gave the toys.  A very large doll that had been idolized by the 
little girl was given by Mrs. WALLENT to a daughter of Paul KUTSKY, 
of 56 Tompkins avenue, who sat by her playmate's bedside from the time 
of her fall almost constantly until her death.  The only things kept 
by Mrs. WALLENT were a few trinkets which had been idolized by her daughter. 
These she will take to the grave with her.
It was while her husband was at business yesterday that Mrs. WALLENT 
made the preparations for her death.  After arranging her shroud and 
placing it on the bed she put the trinkets along side the shroud, and 
then lay down to die, after placing a rubber tube, which had been
connected with a gas jet, in her mouth.  In her hand she held a 
poem written by a friend in German, in which it was stated that 
Lillian was not dead, but only sleeping.  Neighbors in the house
detected the odor of gas and began an investigation.  As they were 
about to break open the door leading into the WALLENT apartments, 
Mr. WALLENT returned from work.  In his arms he carried a number of 
packages, provisions for today's dinner.
When he opened the door leading into his apartments, WALLENT was driven out 
by the gas fumes.  He went into the bedroom, and there on the bed lay 
his wife, with the poen in her hand and the trinkets along side her body.  
He immediately summoned the family physician, Mr. Martin WEISBERGER, 
of 55 Tompkins avenue, but his call had come too late.  When he 
realized the circumstances WALLENT collapsed.  He was taken to a 
friend's home, and a watch is being kept over him, as it is feared 
he may try to follow his wife and daughter.
Brooding over the absence of a son who went West several years ago to make a

DIES POOR AS HE HAD ALWAYS LIVED
For fifty years John WALKER lived at Coney Island.  He went there poor. 
He remained poor.  He died in poverty and tomorrow the loyal Islanders 
will give him, the man that has held the record for remaining poor at the 
famous resort, a "good" burial in Evergreen Cemetery.
It is the boast of the Islanders that never a body goes out of it to Potters Field.  
Old John had not much to commend him, except his honest labor and his record 
of having lived there fifty years poor.  He was born in New York City.  When 
he struck the Island it was a waste.  Beyond a few scattered dwellings and a 
small roadhouse it was comparatively a wilderness.  The journey to Brooklyn 
was a thing to talk about for days.
John got work and remained and watched the dwelling house site bear palaces 
of pleasure and the roadhouse develop into a score of gorgeous hotels.
John, in his way, became an historian of the Island, and it was 
his delight in his latter days - he was 72 years old when he died - 
to relate stories of Coney's boom.  Some months ago Bright's disease seized him.
He died Friday at West Second street, survived by two grandchildren.
Undertaker Martin F. HEALEY, Neptune avenue and Third street has charge of 
the funeral arrangements.

The police are hoping to trace the identity of the wagon and its driver 
from descriptions furnished by eyewitnesses.

WHIRLING BELT BRAINS BREWERY EMPLOYE
Man, Working at Motor, Slips on Oily Floor to Awful Death - Panic Follows
The sight of a young man caught in the belting of a powerful motor in the 
machine room of the brewery at 371 Pulaski street, whirling at terrific 
speed in a huge circle and his head and body dashing against the floor 
at every revolution caused a panic among the crowd of brewery employees today. 
The victim of the horrible mishap was Charles RECHESBACH, 21 years old, of 
126 Sumner avenue.  He was working at a large motor engine, putting on 
extra speed, when his foot slipped on the oily tin which covered the 
flooring, and he fell forward into the machine.  He put out his right 
arm to save himself and that member was caught in the whirling belting.
In a second the unfortunate man was snapped from the floor and flew around 
with the rapidly revolving belt.
The sickening thuds of the poor fellow's head and body against the floor, 
and the shower of blood and brains which flew from the flying corpse 
unnerved the strongest man in the machine room and sent the weaker 
ones into a panic.
When some cool head stopped the machinery the mangled remains of the once 
powerful young man were taken from the bloody belting and laid in a corner 
of the room.Although poor RECHESBACH was dead an ambulance was sent for.  Dr. THOMPSON, 
from the Bushwick Hospital responded. He said the brewery employe was killed 
a second after the belting caught him in its deadly grip.

BRIDEGROOM SLAIN AT WEDDING FEAST
Police Find Him Dying in Arms of Bride - Guest Mortally Wounded
JEALOUSY THOUGHT MOTIVE
Assassin Escapes After Breaking Up Italian Celebration
Within two hours of the time that he had been married, Augustino SYLVESTRO, 
20 years old, of 17 Garfield place, was shot and killed last night.  
It was at a time when the merrymaking was at its height that the trouble 
occurred, during which SYLVESTRO was stabbed and one of his guests was shot.
There was a long list of guests at the festivities at the bridegroom's house, 
following the ceremonies that made SYLVESTRO and Marie ARNESTINO, 
the belle of Garfield place, man and wife.  It was just about midnight, 
after the hours had passed serenely and quietly, and a crowd had 
gathered outside SYLVESTRO's home to listen to the singing and see the 
dancing figures flit by the windows, that the neighborhood was thrown 
into excitement by reports of a number of pistol shots.  Men and women 
fled from the house in a panic.  Someone sent word of the shooting to 
Capt. MAUDE, of the Fifth avenue police station.  With all the reserves, 
Capt.  MAUDE hurried to SYLVESTRO's house, which he found in darkness 
and apparently deserted.  The crowd had scattered from before the premises.
With drawn revolvers the police made their way into the house.  After 
lighting the gas, they perceived the young bride seated on the floor, 
holding her husband in her arms.  He had been stabbed in the stomach, 
through the arm and through the shoulder.  Near them lay Pedro DEPATINO, 
554 Carroll street.  He had been shot through the chest and again 
through the right arm.
The wounded men were hurriedly removed to the Seney Hospital, where 
both were at once operated on.  Within half an hour, however, SYLVESTRO 
had died of his wounds.  The doctors stated that DEPATINO cannot recover.
The cause of the fight is shrouded in mystery.  Detectives searched all 
night for Antonio SYLVESTRO, a brother of the dead man, but they refused 
to state whether they thought he had taken a hand in the crime.
Gaetano FERREOLLI, arrested on suspecion of doing the stabbing, was held in 
Myrtle avenue court today.
Some of those who were at the nuptials declare that jealously was at the 
bottom of the fracas.  Earlier in the evening Louis CALISINA, 14 Garfield place, 
fought with Louis NOBLE, who lives in the same house, and cut him on the arm 
with a razor.  It is said that NOBLE was formerly a suitor for Miss ARNESTINO's hand.  
It is also said that the fight between NOBLE and CALISINA resulted because 
the former attempted to be one of the wedding party, to which he had received 
no invitation.

13 November 1906
DEATH BY BULLET, ANSWER TO "BLACK HAND" DEMAND
Udrico PAVONE Kills Man He Says Wanted Money or His Life - 
Ran Away After Shooting, But Is Captured by Brooklynite - 
Victim Was White Plains Saloonkeeper, and Police Say He 
Was Mixed Up in Another Murder Case - 
May Have Been Leader of Gang Responsible for Local Outrage
Two men stood at the corner of Grand and Mott streets, Manhattan, this 
morning, and after what looked to a witness like an argument, one of the 
men reached suddenly toward his hip pocket and before the other could 
do anything, pulled out a revolver, pressed it against the man's abdomen 
and fired.  The man who was shot reeled and fell to the sidewalk, and 
the shooter dropping the gun, turned and fled down the street, with 
several witnesses in pursuit.  One of them was Policeman Richard Wilson, 
who was off duty and happened to be in the street at the time, and 
the other was Frank NELKEN, of 225 Sackett street, Brooklyn.
The assailant ran down Mott street to Hester and was making for the park 
at the Bend, when NELKEN, who proved the faster, reached out and grabbed 
the man by the nape of the neck.  The man stopped and began to cry, saying 
he would submit to the police and begged that his captors keep the crowd 
from doing him harm.
He was taken to the Mulberry street station house where he said he was 
Udrico PAVONE, 33 years old, a stenographer, at present out of employment, 
and that he lived at 127 Hester street.
He told the police that the man he had shot, and who was instantly killed, 
was an agent of the "Black Hand" and had made an appointment with him 
to meet at the place where the shooting took place.  When they met, he 
says the "Black Hand" man, who was identified as Annuniato LIGATO, 
45 years old, a saloonkeeper in Tarrytown Road, White Plains, demanded 
that he pay to him $500 on pain of death.  He said he refused to be blackmailed.  
He had only $28 in his pocket when he met LIGATO, all he had in the world, 
and he was not going to part with that.  He shot LIGATO because he believed 
it was a case of his life or LIGATO's, when he refused to be blackmailed.
When the body of LIGATO was examined by the police a 38-calibre fully 
loaded revolver was found in one of the pockets of his trousers.
The Manhattan police communicated with the White Plains police and from 
them it was learned that LIGATO and a cousin, Edward BUETO, are notorious 
as being members of some gang in the "Black Hand" business, but nothing 
has ever been proved against them, as is the case in all "Black Hand" affairs.
Coroner ACRITELLI viewed the body of the dead man.  He said that LIGATO 
was one of the men who was implicated in the murder of an Italian in Harlem's 
"Little Italy" on the night of Oct. 12.  The man killed at that time was 
named GAROFOMA, but his murderer has not been found.  LIGATO and others 
arrested at the time were discharged in court, owing, as usual, 
to lack of evidence.
The police are of the opinion that PAVONE is telling a straight story,
and this, they say, is really the first time to their knowledge that a 
"Black Hand" man has been caught in the act and killed on the spot.  
The police also believe that LIGATO has something to do with "Black Hand" 
outrages in Brooklyn.

notified the police.

14 November 1906
BURNED TO DEATH TRYING TO ESCAPE
Four Others Managed to Get Out of Smith Street House Unhurt.
FIFTH LEAPED OUT WINDOW
Victim First Overcome by Smoke in Hallway
Suffocated by thick black smoke that was pouring in dense volumes up the 
narrow stairway by which he was attempting to escape, Frederick REUTER,
22 years old, was burned to death in a fire which occurred shortly before
6 o'clock this morning in a two-story brick building at 123 Smith street.  
Of the five other inmates in the building at the time of the fire, four 
escaped narrowly without injury, and the other, Gustave JOHNSON, was 
compelled to jump out of the top window about twenty-five feet to the 
ground to avoid being caught in the fire-trap.  He sustained a painful 
but not a serious wound on the forehead.
The cause of the fire is unknown.  It originated in the hallway leading from 
the street to the apartments on the first and second floors.  The ground 
floor of the building is occupied by a saloon, with pool tables and a 
bowling alley, under the name of Alfred JOHNSON, although the proprietor 
is Charles REUTER, brother of the man who was burned to death.  Shortly 
before 6 o'clock the bartender, Victor ISAACSON, who was cleaning glasses 
at the bar preparatory to the day's business, happened to glance through 
a crack in the door leading from the saloon to the hallway.  The entrance 
was a roaring furnace of flame.
ISAACSON ran to the rear of the building, where Miss Alma REUTER, sister of 
the proprietor, was cooking breakfast for several boarders.  Together the two 
began to shout in an effort to awaken three sleepers in the apartments above.  
The porter was sent to awaken the proprietor, who was slumbering in a front 
room directly above the saloon.  He thought the porter was joking, and was 
about to turn over for another nap when the flames leaped into the room, 
and he had to dash for the door in his nightclothes.
He shouted to his brother Frederick, who was asleep in a room adjoining, and 
the latter responded quickly.  He made for the wrong door though, and started 
down the short stairway, hoping to leap through the flames and gain the sidewalk.  
But the house is nothing more than a tinder box, and in the few seconds that
the fire had been burning it had assumed terrible proportions.  REUTER was 
overcome by the smoke and licking flames, and fell to the floor at the head 
of the stairs, where the fire burned him to a crisp.  When the stairway had 
been entirely consumed the body of REUTER fell to the floor below.  When 
the flames had been extinguished the body was taken to the undertaking 
establishment of William H. DALY, 136 Smith street.  It will be buried 
from there, after services, which will be held probably tomorrow.
REUTER was 22 years old and a carpenter by trade.

Gustave JOHNSON made his escape from the burning building by jumping from 
the second-story window, clad in his sleeping garments.  He landed on his 
head, but was not injured sufficiently to be taken to the hospital.  
An ambulance surgeon bandaged up his wounds.
The building was gutted, with the exception of the first floor.  All the 
furniture and fittings in the seven living rooms and two meeting rooms, used 
by Swedish and other societies, were destroyed.  The pool tables and bowling 
alleys have been rendered unfit for use.  Mr. REUTER places the damage in 
the neighborhood of $7,000.  There was no insurance.
Mr. REUTER could not explain the cause of the fire.  He said he had no enemies.  
The fire spread so rapidly that it had done all its damage in less than a half 
hour.  W.F. WENISCH, proprietor of a delicatessen store across the street, 
sent in the alarm that brought the engines.

ILLUMINATING GAS GETS THREE MORE VICTIMS
Nellie BLAKE, 22 years old, who gave her address as Gravesend; a man whom she 
described as her husband, Michael, and a strange man whose name has not been 
ascertained, were found last night in a small room in a furnished room house 
at 96 First street, Manhattan, almost asphyxiated.  Other lodgers in the house, 
smelling the odor of gas, burst in the door and found the woman sitting bolt 
upright on the floor with eyes closed; one of the men on the edge of the bed 
in a semi-recumbent position, his head bowed in his hands, and the other man 
prostrate on the bed in the stuffy room, with his face against the wall.

Dr. PHILLIPS, from Bellevue Hospital, was working over the victims of the 
gas, which was escaping from an open radiator, when the man described by 
the woman as her husband, died.  She and the other man were taken to 
Bellevue Hospital, where it is said both will probably die.  The woman was 
conscious only long enough to tell her name and that of her husband.

15 November 1906
Died To-day-As the result of an argument over financial matters between two 
old friends yesterday one of the men seized a heavy crowbar and 
struck his victim over the head with it.  The victim is John DOYLE, 
55 years old, who owns a stable at 331 Union avenue.  He died in 
the Williamsburg Hospital early this morning from a fractured skull.  
Earlier in the evening he was attended by an ambulance surgeon from 
the Eastern District Hospital, who pronounced Doyle suffering from 
a scalp wound, and left him at his home, after sewing up the wound.  
A few hours later DOYLE became unconscious and the family physician 
was called.  He diagnosed DOYLE's injury as a fracture of the skull, 
and had him removed to Williamsburg Hospital.
The man accused of having caused DOYLE's death is George LOGEMANN, 
38 years old, a dealer in coal and ice, of 284 North Eleventh street.  
He is the son of an old and well-known resident of the Fourteenth ward,
who formerly owned a large grocery store.  The son George keeps his 
horses and wagons in a stable at Union avenue and North Eleventh 
street, owned by DOYLE.
Yesterday afternoon LOGEMANN drove into the stable, where he encountered DOYLE. 
The men immediately got into an argument over the rent of the stable.  
DOYLE accused LOGEMANN of having failed to pay the rent for his 
horse and wagon, and LOGEMANN persisted that he had paid.  Both were 
under the influence of liquor, and the argument grew quite warm.  
Mrs. DOYLE took a hand in the scrap, and her husband, it is claimed, 
grabbed a pitchfork and made a lunge at LOGEMANN.  The latter ducked, 
and, according to witnesses, picked up a crowbar and brought it down 
on DOYLE's head.  The latter fell to the ground unconscious.
During the excitement some one ran to the Bedford avenue station and 
told of the fight.  A call for an ambulance was sent to the Eastern 
District Hospital and Dr. TIETZE, who responded, made a hasty 
examination of DOYLE's injuries and pronounced him suffering from a 
scalp wound.  He sewed the wound and left DOYLE at his home.
Detectives from the Bedford avenue station arrested LOGEMANN on 
a charge of felonious assault.  About two hours after Dr. TIETZE 
left, DOYLE fell on the floor of his home unconscious.  Dr. 
Richard A. HENDERSON, of 168 North Sixth street, was called and he 
pronounced DOYLE suffering from a fracture of the skull.  He advised 
that he be removed to a hospital, and this time Dr. McCOY was called 
from the Williamsburg Hospital.  Several doctors worked over DOYLE
in an effort to bring him back to consciousness, but their efforts 
were fruitless.  The charge against LOGEMANN was then changed to homicide.
This morning when the case was called in the Lee avenue court, 
counsel for LOGEMANN asked for the parole of his client, he and 
LOGEMANN not knowing that DOYLE was dead.  DOYLE's son was in 
court to press the charge and when the police told Magistrate HYLAN 
that DOYLE was dead, the latter immediately held LOGEMANN with bail.
When seen at the Eastern District Hospital Dr. TIETZE said:  
"When I attended DOYLE he was merely suffering from a scalp wound.  
I can stake my life on that.  He had a wound six inches long in his 
head and I could plainly see that there was no fracture.  In addition 
the man was drunk and I left him with friends after dressing his wound.  
If he died from a fracture of the skull, he must have received 
it after I left him."

16 November 1906
Shot in Revenge For Old Murder
Escaped from Prison to Meet in This Country the Uncle of His Victim
His Assailant  in Flight
Woman in Jail As Accessory to the Crime
Georgiano ALDIASI, of 100 Jackson street, is dying in St. 
Catherine's Hospital from a bullet wound received in a stable 
at 187 Withers street, while Mrs. Monella RANTO, of 178 Union avenue, 
is held in the Raymond street jail without bail, charged with aiding 
and abetting the crime.The affair occurred early this morning, 
when ALDIASI, who is a rag peddler, went to get his horse from 
the stable. As he entered Mrs. RANTO hastened to her husband, told 
him that ALDIASI was after his horse and, it is alleged, holding a 
dagger in her hand, held the back door open while her husband fired 
the shop that felled the peddler.
The shooting was entirely without provocation, ALDIASI told 
Policeman LLOYD, who came from his post a few blocks away and found 
the wounded man on the floor. Meantime Ranto had made his escape, 
but his wife was on the spot, and she was taken to the Herbert 
street police station.
After his wounds had been dressed in St. Catherine's Hospital, ALSIASI 
made a statement to Dr. MILTMORE, wherein he said that he had several 
years ago, while a youth in Italy, accidentally shot a nephew of RANTO. 
For this he was sentenced to eighteen years in prison. He escaped a 
few years ago and came to this country. After her husband's nephew met 
his death at the hands of ALSIASI, Mrs. RANTO swore eternal vengence, 
and, true to the traditions of the Italian vendetta, carried her enmity 
to this country.
From the statements made by people living near the stable where the 
shooting occurred, it appears that in a game of cards last night there 
was a quarrel between RANTO and ALDIASI over the winnings. After ALDIASI 
went home RANTO told his wife what had happened, and it is believed the 
couple made plans for revenge. When ALDIASI fell wounded this morning, 
RANTO hurried out through a back door and escaped down a rear alley, 
leaving his wife to face the policemen. 
ALDIASI, who cannot live, according to the surgeons in the hospitalis 
a well to do rag dealer and stores his goods and stables his horse and 
wagon in the barn where he was shot.Detectives are on the trail of 
RANTO, while his wife, after facing the charges of felonious assault 
and of aiding and abetting in a shooting affair, in the Manhaattan 
avenue court to-day, was sent to Raymond street jail.

Rosie wailed and went into hysterics and Mrs. EMIL bundled the tot in a shawl 
and started for Manhattan with it to the house of her mother, Mrs. SEIDMAN, 
of 69 East Fourth street. The latter sent for her family doctor, Dr. KALICH, 
who prescribed for the child. A half hour later the baby died. 
       The mother and father made a pitiful picture, going over to Manhattan 
in the morning across the Williamsburg Bridge in a trolley car. The mother 
tried to arouse the child and wept loudly. The father sat helplessly at her 
side, the picture of despair.

Get Four For Old Black Hand Crime
       It was not the desire for revenge as has been reported, that caused 
Tony NABILLIO to betray his countryman and confess to Acting Capt. McCauley, 
of the Detective Bureau, the details of the brutal murder of Antonio COSTA, 
who was shot to death in his butcher shop at Thirty-fourth street and Fourth 
avenue, on the night of Oct 11, 1905, but, according to Detective Sergeant 
Tony VACHRIS, it was to protect himself and throw out all the blame on the 
others. 
       In COSTA's safe, after the tragedy were found Black Hand letters, 
demanding money. Last March Detective VACHRIS, arrested Gennaro ESPOSITO, 
Toney NABILLIO, Asco LOMBARDI and Tony SEBASTIANO and charged them with the 
murder.
       When the prisoners were brought to headquarters all had pistols and 
Gennaro had a dirk concealed in his trousers.
       They denied all knowledge of the murder, and when they were taken to 
the court of Special Sessions and VACHRIS explained to the judges his 
suspicions they were all given a year apiece in jail for carrying concealed weapons.
       Gennaro (ESPOSITO) only served seven months, as his wife went before 
the Charity Commissioner and said she had no means of support for herself and 
her children. The others were released from jail a month ago. 
       Since then NABELLIO has been going around among his countrymen telling 
them that he had nothing to do with the murder and put all blame on his 
companions. The police heard of this and got hold of NABELLIO and brought him 
to headquarters, where he made a confession, because he said his conscience 
troubled him. He said that LOMBARDI, SEBASTIANO and Gennaro(ESPOSITO) were 
the murderers.
He said he had nothing to do with the murder.
       In spite of  this confession VACHRIS learned that on the night of the 
murder NABELLIO went to the Brooklyn Hospital and was treated for a serious 
stab would in the right leg, which the police believe he received in the 
fight with COSTA.
       Yesterday LOMBARDI, ESPOSITO and SABASTIANO, with NABELLIO, were 
arrested by VACHRIS and charged with  murder.
       The police believe that NABELLIO in spite of his confession is 
implicated in the murder of COSTA.
(NOTE: The spellings NABELLIO and NABILLIO are both used in this article.)

She was graduated from the Boston School of Oratory, and for several years 
before adopting the stage, was a professional reader. She accepted the part 
of Hebe, in "Pinafore," at the Boston Theatre in April 1879, and her maiden 
effort was crowned with success. She then appeared in "Hazel Kirke," at the 
Madison Square Theatre in this city, playing the part of Dolly Dutton, and in

immediately successful. Her next appearance was in "Oedipus Tyrannus" at the

performers their parts in English. Miss CAYVAN then appeared at the

Marcelle in "A Parisian Romance." Miss CAYVAN found the place of leading

Another Victim of Auto Smash Dies
       Daniel BARKALOW, a broker, of 352 Fifteenth avenue Paterson, N, J., 
who was in the automobile crash in Central Park last night in which Tom 
COOPER, the famous bicycle rider was instantly killed, died this morning at 
6:45 o'clock in Roosevelt Hospital, Manhattan. BARKALOW was found to have a 
fractured skull and severe internal injuries.
       Helen LAMBERT, an actress, who was also of the party, is still in the 
hospital and in a very critical condition. Her skull is fractured, her right 
arm is broken, and it is said by the house physicians that she has a very 
slender chance of recovering.
       Virginia LEAVITT, another actress, and who it is now said was the 
secret bride of COOPER, was not seriously injured, and was taken from the 
hospital last night by four women friends. Before she left the hospital the 
LEAVITT woman inquired of the entry clerk:
       "How is Tom?"
       The clerk evaded the query by saying that he did not know, but would 
find out and let her know as soon as possible.
       "Be sure and let me know how Tom is," was her last remark as she got 
into a carriage and was driven away. One of the four women who drove away 
with the LEAVITT woman was heard to say to her:
       "I am afraid your husband is the worst hurt of all."
From this remark the police infer that COOPER and the LEAVITT woman had been
secretly married, for the cyclist had not made any announcement of a wedding.

SON'S PLEAS BREAK FATHERS HEART
DENNIS FEELEY,62 years old,who for some time past made his home in the 
lodging house at 17 Atlantic Avenue,was found dead in his room there this 
morning. The ambulance surgeon who was summoned from the Long Island College 
Hospital gave the cause of death as heart failure, but from the evidence 
discovered by the police it is really supposed to have been due to a broken 
heart.
The old man had evidently died while sitting in bed reading letters from his 
son,several of which were found on the blanket.These were all signed,'' Your 
loving son,JAMES CROWLEY'',telling his father that he is known by that name 
in Dannemora Prison.The police as yet have not been able to discover any of

SUICIDE IGNORES  WIFE for NIECE
Mystery surrounds the suicide of WILLIAM SUYDAM,63 years old,a wealthy

showing that SUYDAM had several thousand dollars on deposit.In a letter SUYDAM 
states that he leaves his fortune to his niece,TILLIE SUYDAM, whose father 
is a well known manufacturer of stoves at Perry and Hudson street,Manhattan.
Although the shooting occurred soon after 9o'clock, the police did not hear 
of it until after midnight,when Dr.THOMPSON, SUYDAM's physician,called at 
the Clymer street station and reported the death to Sergeant KEILAHER.
Detectives were immediately sent to the house and an ambulance surgeon was 
called,he pronounced the man dead,and then the detectives began a search.
Several letters were found in a desk all addressed to EDWARD TERHUNE,who 
lives in the neighborhood.
No reason can be assigned for the shooting.Aside from a stomache disorder.
SUYDAM was apparently in good health.Last night he came home at his usual 
hour and greeted Mrs.BUTLER as he passed in the house.Nothing further was 
heard until the shot.

RED TAPE DELAYS BURIAL OF WOMAN
 Owing to the red tape in the Bureau of Records of the Health Department in the 
borough, the body of Mrs.LAURA EDLINGER,could not be removed from the morgue 
of the German Hospital,where she died on Monday,until late yesterday 
afternoon,and very much inconvenenience has been caused to the relatives of 
the dead woman in making funeral arrangements,and to the authorities of the 
hospital bt the action of the Health Department. The death certificate was 
made out by Dr.ADKUS,of the hospital staff,and stated the cause of death was 
''general peritonitis''. The Health Department refused to issue a burial 
permit,owing to the requirements of a law that called for physicians to state 
the cause of the general peritonitis when that was the immediate cause of 
death, not having been fulfilled in the death certificate.
 The case was sent to the Coroner on Thursday and yesterday his 
physician,Dr.WUEST, decided that it was not a Coroners case.In the afternoon 
the Coroner decided that it was,and directed Dr.WUEST to make an examination 
and, if necessary,an autopsy. The doctor did so and found that required the 
attention of the Coroners office and said he did not see any reason why the 
Health Department schould not issue the burial certificate.
 Dr.WUEST said,when he was seen regarding the case; '' The high-handed manner 
in which the Bureau of Records of the Health Department of Brooklyn does 
things is becoming unbearable and many physicians protest against it.''
 The necessary certificate for the removal of the body from the hospital and 
subsequent burial was issued yesterday afternoon by the Health Department.

25 November 1906
WOMANS BODY FOUND
 The body of a young woman was found last evening in the inlet at Simis Beach,
Far Rockaway. She was not more than 25 years old.There were no marks of 
violence on the body,and the Far Rockaway Police think the young woman went 
there and drowned herself.
 On the body was found the return half of an excursion ticket between Long 
Island City and Far Rockaway over the Long Island Railroad.It was dated Nov 
24 and it was bought in Long Island City yesterday.
 The fact that the woman bought a return ticket would seem to discredit the 
theory that she contemplated suicide at Far Rockaway,but the police say they 
nevertheless think it was her intention to end her life there.
 The dead woman was about five feet six inches in height,weighing about 145 
pounds,light complexton, brown hair, blue eyes.She had 1 gold tooth.She wore 
a black jacket,white waist,black stockings,oxford tie,and a black felt hat 
with white feathers.She had a tan colored hand bag in which was $1.25 and the

Brooklyn and Manhattan and efforts are being made to learn if any one 
ansering the description of the dead woman is reported as missing.
