hfrs Luyster, who resides in Bushwicl
avenue, Brooklyn, and who described her.
| self as the mother-in-law Of Bauman, called
at the coroner's Office to ascertain when the
inquest over the bodies would be held. Sh'
stated that the first intimation she or hel
daughter Tho wife of the suicide) had O
the terrible tragedy was from reading it il
the morning newspapers.
Baunan, it appears from her narrative
was married to her daughter, then nioeteel
years of age, three years ago. Baunal
was principal in the German Seminary, il
Meserole street, Brooklyn. He taught thu
French, German, and other languages. Hi
wife and Miss Mcnamara (she was know
By. her maiden name, having separated
from her husband, an italian named Al
mejo, some time ago) taught the Englisl
branches in the same institution. Bauman
who is described az man of singularl.
winning manner, was q finished scholar
and under his management the school fou
rished and was largely attended by th
youth Of Brooklyn. Mrs. Bauman and Mis-
| Mcnamara were strong and firm friends
and Bauman vas also intimate with the lat
ter.
No heed was given to this by Mrs. Bau
man, as she supposed the attentions to b.
merely such as would be bestowed by :
husband on the particular friend of hi
wife. About eight or nine months ago thu
suspicious of Mrs. Bauman became aroused
| by the excessive attentions of her HUSBAND
to her friend and fellow-teacher, and sh,
demonstrated with him, declaring it wal
even attracting the attention of others, anC
| causing considerable remark. He laughed
at her suspicious, declared they had NJ
| foundation in fact, and continued the init
macy with Miss Mcnamara.
The assertions of Bauman served for 9
time to allay the suspicious of his wife
who loved him devotedly. Of late, how

came 50 open and undisguised US to caus,
considerable comment, and even gave rist
to scandal among the older scholars anC

tor the scandalous stories set aaoat, as be
declared, by designing persons. His con
duct finally became of such nature tina
the trustees Of the school made it subjec
for investigation, and were SO convinced O.
the truth OF the stories that they dismissed
both Bauman and Miss Mcnamara.
1t is conjcctured that, becoming despe
rate at the loss of his position in the schoo
and in society, Bauman had made an ap
pointment with Miss Mcnamara to NEE
him at their old rendezvous with the inten
ton of killing her and then ending his owr
life. How well he succeeded has already
! been told.
Bauman was a native of Germany, anc
| thity-two years of age. He has two bro
theirs, one Of whom, residing in Buffalo, ha!
been informed by telegraph of the death o.
his brother. Bauman, who resided viii
his wife in South Fourth street, Brooklyn
has left no children.
Miss McNamara was about twenty-fou
years OF age, anu remarkably handsom(
brunette, with large, lustrons dark eyes
and profusion of curls. Something Over
