Two widely Varying aud Shocking Stories
In Relation 10 Her Death.
DR.. Marsh made post-mortem examina-
tion yesterday In the case OF Bella Jones, OF 100
Thompson street, who the police say hanged
herself TO tne cell door. When her friends
claimed her body they found several bruises OF
the head. arms, and chest that they believed
were received at the hands of 0ficer Beard.
who arrested her. Their story Is that the ofi-
GERS entered Miss Jones's room, after she had
gone to bed. and were In such haste TO arrest
her that they did not give her time even 70 put
on her clothes, but dragged her OF to the sta
ton In her night dress. The autopsy showed
conclusivelv that Miss Jones died Of strangula-
tiun, none OF her bruises having heen such as to
produce death. Her severest bruise, that on
the head, was probably made In her struggle TO
free herself from the police. Ii was just such
as would have been made by contact with the
corner OF an iron railing, against which the
spectators say Oficer Beard dashed her head
Oficer Beard ana the dOoTman say that she had
no bruises when she was first taken into the
police station. They add that they saw her
Dash her head against the cell door IN her
drunken desperation. She, 1t Is said. was quar-
resome IN her cups, and had often been ar
rested for dsordeTly conduct.
