pECTs:-The sin Of poor Alice Bowlesby
s cutting wide swath OF desoiation.
Her famiy-the mother al two young
er daughters-nre suffering that intense
grief that refuses to be comforted, and
one OF her lovers-Walter Conkling, the
son OF Patterson alderman-yester,lny,
deliberately committed suicide. Whether
he is tho one who ruined Alice aud
brought her to such miserable ending
remalns TO be shown at tho Coroner's in
quest, which commences today. The
name OF another gentleman friend of
Alice's-one Tripp-is mentioned in
connection With tho woe that befell her;
but he has disappeared, and his where.
abouts is not known. The inquest of
To. day will doubtless divulge oil the facts
in the matter, and present narrative so
much moro strange than any conceivable
fiction that it ought to prove an ever pre-
sent warning against the commission OF
the one crime that carries such terrible
! woe in it's wake. There Gun be but one
verdict rendered. Alice Bowlesby came to
her death by cruel malpractice Mt the
hands CT Dr.. Ascher, alias DR.. Rosen-
weig. Whatever formal links nre to be
supplied to complete the legal chnin Of
evidence, thnt fact is firmly established
in the minds Of all the people of this
city who have ordinary intelligence.
Now what is to be done with DR.. Rosen
weig?

fence will not be wanting to MD him. a
motion for writ Of hdbeas corpus was
presented and granted i'll hs behalf yes
terday, requiring TINT be be produced
this morning before Judge Sutherland,
in the Supreme Court Chnmbers, when,
no doubt, an effort will be made to have
him released on bnil. It is not likely
thut he can bo released even on heavy
bail, in tho present state OF public cx-
citement; but it is evident from the mo-
ton that no stoue will be left uuturued
to save him from tho vengeance Of the
law We hnvo precedent to he found
among the stone quarries at Sing Sing
for his Incarceration ut hard labor, but
none for his execution, although his de-
liberato attempt to spirit away the body
and to hide the effect of his malpractice
may put new anh moro tangible aspect
of wllful murder in the eyes Of the lnw
upon this most horrifying case.

Of IN old gentleman at Dewittville. in
this State, who had seen service during
tho war OF 1912. and had been one Of the

After the death Of his wife. about twelve
years ago, ho was 80 much affected that
he lost interest in life. and made M as-
