Persons living in the neghborhood of the tene-
ment house No. 317 East 109th street heard cry for
help on the night of June %, proceeding from the
second floor Of the building. AS the appeal soon

the same night Thomas Dunn. laborer living at
that address, called upon Charles b. Ellison ply
sician having office at No. 215 East 10Th
street. and told him that his wife Honora
Dunn had been taken very ill, and asked
him to render professional aid. DR.. Ellison
went to the house and found Mrs. Dunn lying un-
conscious on a bed, with blood running from her
mouth. The doctor sent for ambulance and had
the sick woman transferred to Bellevue Hospital.
There she remained until last Saturday night, when
death ensued. In consequence of the extreme heat
she buried the following day in
Calvary Cemetery, her husband and his two
childreh--one aged three and the other
six years--following the remains to the
grave. Nothing more thought of the matter
until Monday, when DR.. Ellison had his suspicious
aroused by remarks dropped by the neighbors, and
thinking there something wrong, he acquainted
Captain Robbins. of the Twenty third precinct, with
the facts. Near midnight the Captain sent Detective
Sawyer to Dunn's room. He made to leave his
bed and go to the station house, in East Eighty
eighth street, avenue A. An autopsy made
and death declared to have resulted from natural
causes. Justice Murray yesterday, however, com
mitted Dunn to await an examination.
