he permits no purpose of his to be thwarted.

SLAIN BY A HOTEL GUEST.

Life-while Dying She Declares That the
Secret of Her Folly Shall Die With Her

BROOKLYN, August IA messenger
rushed into DR.. Bodkin's Office, in Mon
tague street Friday morning, and said that
a young girl was dying in Henrys Hotel,
at 62 Fulton street. The physician hurried
to the hotel and was conducted to room
on the top floor of the building. Here a
handsome young girl of about l9 years OF
age was found lying on a sofa moaning in a
heart-rending manner. At first she refused
to notice the doctor, but after a little per-
suasion allowed him to attend her. She
said that her name was Della Folen; that
she had only been in this country about
three years and that all her relatives and
friends were in Ireland. DR.. Bodkin be-
came convinced that the unfortunate girl
was suffering from the effects of criminal
operation which had recently been per-
formed, and after reporting his suspicious
to the police of the Third Precinct, the suf
ferer was at once removed to st. Peter
Hospital. This morning at half-past 2
o'clock she 6ied
