Edward Newman, who on Wednesday night mun
dered his sweetheart, Katie Hayes, and then at.
tempted his own life lay in the Chambers Street
Hospital yesterday in a very critical condition. The
wound which he had inflicted in his side with the fatal
oyster knife is serious one but his physician claims
that he will recover If peritonitis does not set in
Newman is reticent about the particulars of the
tragedy. and when any allusion was made
TO It he seemed annoyed and disposed to
resent 1t Coroner Ellinger and his dep.
uty visited him during the day, but he
refused to make any statement to them. The case
accordingly remains considerably involved. New
mans motive for perpotratng the murderous deed is
a mystery To- all who knew him and to all who were
cognizanI OF his Intimacy with his victim. They both
worked together In Iodd's salt factory in Tompkins
street. and the last three they have seem.
ingly been much attached each other. Newman,s
attentions to Miss Hayes have always been very
marked and on her part she has appeared to recpro
his affection. Her parents, how .vcr averse
to the match and that constrained the pair to meet
the houses OF mutual friends. On Wednesday
evening they appeared In Mrs. wendover's
house. in Gouverneur street, where they passed
the evening friendly gossip with an acquaintance of
theirs named Mss Turner. At eleven O'Clock they
bade their friends goodby but olteref at the hall
door, and some time afterward when Mrs. Wendover
going down stairs she was surprised to hear
Shrek anu Katie Hayes rushing wildly up stairs
with the blood streaming from CHASTITY wound in her
in the side, and both fell together on upper
entry lay there till the police appeared the
dead, the other seemingly dying.

light upon the strange tragedy but he seems firmly
