The Blows of the Murderer Heard in the
Next House.
From tie sunday AercurV.

II now turns out that on tue Friday morning Of
the murder. about o'clock. three distinct sounds
were heard to emanato from MIR. Nalhau's house.
The SPLENDID mansion Of Or. Pocsham, the corner
Of Finh avenue and rwtuty.hr1 street Is senaratcd
from Mrs. Nathan's hy yard about twenty or tweL-
ty.hve feet wide. The side windows OF the Nathan
house look ont uron tire rear windows Of DR.. Peck
hams, and rice rtrsd. The windows Of both houses
being open, there would be no great difficulty In
hearing noise made In one house or the other.
At the hour above nsmed. when the storm WINS
over. and the dark clouds wero clearing away, Mrs.
Pcckham was awoke by heavy sound ns OF body
falling on a floor. She aroused her husband and re-
marked that there was somebody In the house. The
doctor listened attsntsely for further Indications,
and presently heard another heavy SOUND, but more
like the crack Of pistol prenaturely going OF A
third sound followed. and then every thing quiet.
The doctor looked out of his window and heard the
noise d. atm CITY In Mr. Nathans house. and remarked
10 Mrs. r. that there some one In there. That
morning when the murder was announced these
mysterious sounds had o terrible meaning for the
doctor and Mrs. Peckham, as they were, no doubt,
the strikes of the dog on Mr.. Banjamin Nathan 5
skull and his fall TO the floor.
DR. Peckham's theory OF the murder, sitter Visiting
the house and examining the body n little. IL that
Mr.. Nathan was awakened by the noise OF some one
tamreriny with his safe. and that, springng out OF
bed to see who was there he received a blow from
this iron "dog which completely stunned him,
and disabled him from utterinx a sound or calling
for assistance. lie must have been then dragged
out iuto the other room where the bloody work was
finished. This operation would also account for the
difference In time between the nrst sound beard by
Mrs. Peckhaul, and the second and third heard by
the Doctor and Mrs. II.

the morning OF the murder, which was, as will be
remembered, very wet, he reached the house about
i've O'Clock, and found the front door open. Think
ing that the servants were up early and were going
to clean the entrance, he went to the next hou.e and
folded his PAPERS there. While he was occupied in
this manner, he saw a man Ia n laboring dress ap-
proaching with dinner pail In his hand. This man

A reporter who visited the Nathan mansion on

allowing nothing to escape his notice, makes the
following statement concerning the testimony given
on Thursday before the coroners jury by olncer
Mangam: 49, 1900
The public, as wen as tho press, have again been
fearfuy befudded by the testimony OF oflcer John
Mangam before the coroner's jury. II now appears,
they say, that the blood was not found on Washing
ton Nathan's garments, but on his brother Fred.

point OF fact To prove beyond doubt that oficer

hours after the BODY was discovered was in Mr..

that II was Wash,n and would not he convinced
that it was any one else. Now, this was perfec,

IL Ia only natural that man like Mr. Mangam. who
Is cOn.ttutonaly umid and irresolute. should be
unable to testify clearly on this point He saw two
young men suddenly make their appearance on the
street crying " Murder" &C, and one OF them had
blood on his garments. A very short time after
ward they botl appeared dressed In their everyday
clothing. Washington Nathan has not denied that
the blood was on his garments; and every detective
enaged In working up" the case we'll knows, or at
least thinks he well knows that the bloody gar
meuts are the property Of Washington Nathan.
According 10 the testimony OF Washington him
self. taken on the day OF the murder, his brother
Frederick had knowledge Of the tragedy until
Washington gave the alarm, whereupon he ran
down stairs and appeared on the doorstep with
