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.

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.
