Murder or Suicidel

NEW YORK, August 14.-It was supposed that
Mrs. Margaret Bra dford, whose body was found
in the GoTanuS ca nal yesterday, had committed
suicide, but from what the coroner can learn this
morning it would appear that the unfortunate
canal boat L. ID. Cummings which lay near the
spot where the body was found stated that he his
wife and some friends were sitting on the deck OF
the boat Saturday night, when they heard a
splash like some person falling in the water.
They heard no outcry, but went over to the place
there, and asked him why he did not save the man
supposed to have fallen I'm. He replied with an
oath, and on the question being repeated ran
in the water they retired. MRS Bradford,
with her daughter and some friends, had been
spending the evening In the and a
house they missed her, and they started back to
look for her. She was In good spirits all the even
the bridge They notified the police and the canal
was dragged and the body found. There was only
one In the family that insisted upon the suicide
theory, and that was the son. An autopsy will be
made to determine whether the unfortunate woman
was injured before she got into the water.
