POLICE SUPPRESS NEWS OF WOMAN'S DEATH
Mystery surrounds the death of a woman whose body was found lying in
the bed of her room at 11 Beach place, this morning, with a bullet hole in
the head, by a coal man. The woman, whose name the police give as
Angelina GUAINA, was about 40 years old and was dressed in her night
clothes when found. In the right hand was firmly clutched a revolver, and her
arm was lying stretched out as thought it had dropped to that position
when she died.
The police of the Amity street station are conducting an investigation under
command of Inspector WIEGAND, who absolutely refused to give out any
information regarding the woman or to allow reporters in the house. According
to those making the investigation, the case is one of suicide, though there
does not appear to be any grounds for the supposition beyond the fact that
the revolver was found in the woman's hand.
From neighbors it was learned that the woman has been a roomer in the
house for the past four months. It is said that a shot was heard in that
house on Sunday night. There was a party in the house that night.
The house has been a scene of several tragedies and the unusual course
adopted by the police in suppressing the facts in the case throws considerable
mystery round the woman's murder or suicide, whichever it is.

MRS. ELLA CASSIDY, A NURSE IN KINGS COUNTY HOSPITAL,
RUN DOWN AND FATALLY HURT.
Mrs. Ella CASSIDY, 37 years old, a nurse in the Kings County Hospital,
was run down and fatally injured by a trolley car in Adams street last night.
She was taken to the Cumberland Street Hospital, where is it said her death
is probably a question of only a few hours.
Mrs. CASSIDY left the hospital where she was employed on leave of
absence yesterday. With a friend she attempted to cross Adams street in
the middle of the block between Concord and Tillary streets.
It was 10 o'clock, and the street at that point was not very brilliantly
lighted.
The woman did not notice trolley car No. 3128 of the Bergen street line,
bound for Manhattan which was traveling at an ordinary rate of speed, and
she stepped directly in front of it.
The motorman, Ulysses S. BARRAND, 27 years old, of 20 Stone avenue, did
not see the woman until the car was upon her. She was thrown under the
fender and the front wheels passed over her, completely severing her right
arm, breaking both legs and almost tearing the scalp from her head.
As soon as the motorman could stop the car he seized the controller and ran
to the Adams street policy station.
"I've just run over and killed a woman at Adams and Tillary streets", he
exclaimed to the sergeant at the desk. He was as white as a sheet and
trembled all over. The Sergeant detained him and hurried several policemen
to the scene.
They arrived in time to see Policeman George DUKES taking the woman from
underneath the car. DUKES was patroling his post when he saw several
cars bound for Manhattan stalled in the street, and went to investigate. The
motormen of the stalled cars were standing idly by and watching the woman
under the car.
DUKES grabbed a controller from one of the cars and ran to the platform of
the car under which the unfortunate woman was moaning. Slowly turning on
the power he backed the car until bystanders were able to lift the woman up
and carry her to the sidewalk. An ambulance was hastily summoned and
the surgeon rushed her tot he Cumberland Street Hospital.
She was still conscious and was at once placed on the operating table.
The conductor of the car was T. W. HEATH. When Policeman DUKES
arrived on the scene he was busily taking the names of witnesses of the
accident.
Mrs. CASSIDY resided with her father, John ROACH, of 197 Baltic street.
She was out on a visit to some friends during the day and was returning to
her home when struck by the car. The name of her escort could not be learned.

as the auto came along. The chauffeur blew the horn, but was unable to stop
the machine before it had passed over the lad's body.

not escape damage. The wreckage of the wagon dashed along the sides of
the cars as they sped on and ripped off the steps and considerable of the
woodwork of the six passenger coaches. It was found that the cars were in
such condition that all will have to be sent to the repair shop before they are
fit for service again.
The greatest excitement prevailed among the passengers of the fast train when
they felt the shock of the collision. Many of them were thrown from their
seats as Engineer COLGAN applied the emergency brakes and brought the train to
a stop. The screams and fright of the women passengers added to the general
confusion and order was not restored until some minutes later when the
trainmen ran through the cars explaining the nature of the accident.
The driver of the wagon was picked up in the road a few yards from the tracks.
It was at first proposed to carry him to Long Island City on the train, but
it was deemed best to await the arrival of an ambulance, as the signs of life in the
injured man were feeble and the jar of the train would have endangered his
chances of living.
The Clinton avenue crossing is a blind one, seldom used, and on the outskirts
of Long Island City. A short block away from it is the Penny Bridge crossing,
where three persons were killed in February. At that point the tracks of the
Long Island Railroad form a broad curve. The road from the outskirts of the
city to the city proper runs over a down grade and trains usually make up lost
time over that stretch of track.

DR. SAMUEL S. GUY BROUGHT TO BROOKLYN
The body of Mrs. Lillian MOTT GUY, who was shot and killed, as charged,
by her husband, Dr. Samuel S. GUY, in her home at Far Rockaway, Monday
evening, has been embalmed at the residence of her brother, Guy MOTT. If
possible the funeral will be deferred until the arrival of Mrs. GUY's mother
and sister, who are now on their way from California. They are expected to arrive
on a fast train Saturday or Sunday.
It is doubtful if Dr. GUY, who was brought to Brooklyn Police Headquarters
to-day, will be allowed to attend the funeral. Before he was taken to jail
yesterday he requested that he be allowed to see his dead wife, but this was
refused. The hearing as to the charge of murder against Dr. GUY is set for
Saturday morning before Magistrate HEALEY, but District Attorney DARRIN
is likely to ask at that time for a further postponement. Coroner NUTT is to
hold an inquest in the case and the District Attorney does not want to proceed
with the examination before the Magistrate until the Coroner's inquest is
concluded.Anna HANSON, the servant girl who was in the house at the time
Mrs. GUY was shot, will appear as the main witness both at the Coroner's
inquest and at the hearing before Magistrate HEALEY.

SONS FIND PARENTS DEAD IN THEIR BED,VICTIMS OF BURGLARS
What appears to be a double murder, committed by burglars, was
discovered yesterday afternoon by Marcel PERAULT, who on entering
his home about 2 o'clock, found his father and mother stretched out on
their bed lifeless and gas flooding the rooms, at 1773 Madison avenue,
Manhattan. The dead man is John PERAU, a wealthy saloon keeper,
in business at the above address.
On a dresser was found an empty bottle that had contained chloroform,
which young PERAULT said his mother had purchased with a prescription
some days ago for sickness. He saw the bottle on the dresser a few days
ago, but there had been no occasion for it use. The Coroner was notified
of the tragedy.
The police are of the opinion that burglars chloroformed the couple and later
turned on the gas to make it look like a case of suicide. The gas cock
had been turned on, but had not completely torn off the pipes. The son did
not know how much money his father was in the habit of keeping in his
clothes, so the haul of the murderers cannot be estimated.
The couple when last seen by neighbors were in the best of spirits. They
were an unusually devoted couple and never had a quarrel. The dead man
was 42 years of age and his wife, Marie, was 40.

afternoon, by Joseph CURRIE, a steam engineer, 21 years old, in his room
at the home of his father, John CURRIE, at 1105 Prospect place. Dr.
SHARP, of St. John's Hospital, and Dr. TURNER, of 1072 Prospect place,
were summoned, but CURRIE was dead on their arrival. The suicide had
been reproved recently by his father, and the admonitions to mend his
ways seemed to weight upon his mind.
The father and another son, William, found Joseph's body in the hallway,
near the tope of the stairs on the second floor, and immediately summoned
medical aid.
On the edge of a sink in the hallway was found a drinking glass containing
a quantity of the poison moistened with water. An investigation is being
made by the Coroner.

illuminating gas. No reason can be given for the act. Nothing is know of
the man's antecedents.
For several weeks past the man has occupied the room, which he rented
from Mr. and Mrs. Frank WHITMAN. He was employed as an electrician,
but where the WHITMANs cannot say. He had a wife, from whom he has
been separated for the past nine years, but her address is unknown, as
well as the cause for the separation. BOUN told this to Mr. WHITMAN, but
was reticent as to the other particulars.
Mr. WHITMAN smelled gas about 7 o'clock this morning and traced it to
the man's room on the second floor. The door was locked. WHITMAN
forced it open and he and his wife found the cracks had been stuffed with
newspaper and one gas jet was turned on full.

pronounced the man dead, saying that he had been dead several hours.
17 April 1907
The Rev. W.N. PILE
Funeral services were held last night at the Church of the Second Advent,
Greene avenue near Tompkins, for its late pastor, the Rev. William N. PILE,
who died last Saturday at his home, 570a Macon street. The Rev. A.C.
JOHNSON, of Hartford, Conn., preached the sermon, assisted by the Rev. E.
WOLCOTT, of Eatontown, N.J. and the Rev. A.W. BRADFORD, of Springfield,
Mass. The Rev. Mr. Pile was born in New York City in 1842 and later moved to
Newark, N.J. where for some years he carrried on a prosperous commission
business and during which time he became interested and finally converted to
the truth of the Second Advent. He began immediately to preach, and because
of his marked ability as an expositor of Bible truth, especially prophecy,
the call to preach became so strong that he disposed of business and
dedicated himself to preaching as his life work. Mr. Pile was at one time,
pastor of Bethel Church, in Springfield, Mass., and there became editor of
the "Herald of Life," the official organ of the Life and Advent Union, in
which capacity he served fourteen years. The exacting duties of editor and
preacher proved too much of a strain on a constitution that never was
robust, and resigning his position as editor of the "Herald of Life," he
went South to regain his health. He afterwards returned and received a call
to take charge of a church in this city, numbering less than twenty members,
then holding services in a small hall at the corner of Nostrand and Gates
avenures, but shortly after purchasing the building of the Greene Avenue
Methodist Church, near Tompkins avenue, establishing themselves under the
name of the Household of Faith, and under which they continued until August,
1906, when the name was changed to Church of the Second Advent. Mr. PILE
from the first remained a loyal and powerful advocate of the doctrine of
conditional immortality and the near coming of the Lord. As an expositor of
this and kindred Bible truths, he had few equals. He possessed in a marked
degree the rare faculty of radically differing from others and at the same
time maintaining a broad charity for every honest conviction. He possessed
not only the love of his own people, but that of the whole Advent body, who
suffer in his death an almost irreparable loss. He leaves only a devoted
wife, his only child having died many years ago, beside which they will lay
his body to rest in the city of Springfield, Mass., this Afternoon.
M.B. OAKLEY, formerly of Brooklyn, died on Monday at his home in Lynbrook.
He was eighty-one years old.
