BRooKnYN; July 10.-This afternoon the
body of the woman who last night
bled to death from cats with q
razor on her wrist was iden-
titled by Frederick Gresner, q car
penter. of 67l Summit avenue, Jersey City
Heights, as that of his wife Pauline He
said she was AZ years of age and had been
somewhat demented for the past ten years.
After getting supper on Friday evening she
left the house, saying that she was going
down to the Indian doctors to get some
medicine and that was the last he had seen
of her. He obtained permission to have
the body removed to jersey.
An sir of mystery surrounds the woman's
death. Boys playing on Suydam street
near Myrtle avenue last night heard the
woman shrek, and saw two men running
woman, who was apparently endeayoring
to catch them. Suddenly the woman stop
ped, staggered, clutched at her head and
fell. The cries had in the meantime
brought several policemen to the scene,
but not till the men had disappeared.
Making an examination of the woman, she
was found to be dead. The only mark on
her body, indicating any violence. was a
slight cut on her left wrist.
An active search is being maintainc cd for
the young men whom the woman was
thought to be pursuing. The woman was
unconscious when fonnd by the police, but
died shortly afterwards. The police are of
the opinion that the woman inflicted the
cuts herself for the purpose of ending her
life, and they put no credence in the story
that she was pursuing the young men.
Mrs. O'Keefe saw her pass her house and
said that she appeared to be under the
influence of liquor.

VAS III MURDER ?
Am Apparent Accident In Newark that
Is Supposed to Have Been Pisemed-
ftRfed.

NEWARK, July 10.-Coroner Woodruff
began an inquest here to-day over the
remains of Joseph Zimmerman, the milk
man who was shot here, by a stray
shot, it was supposed, while asleep
under tree on his premises on
Springfield avenue, Monday afternoon.
He had lain down for snooze but . few
minutes later his fuur-year old boy rushed
in to summon his mother to his fathers
side.
6 Is he awake already ?" was her query.
:" Yes, mamma, somebody shot MIN, :
said the boy. aakBsA
The witness said that she then rushed
to where her husband was reclining un-
der the tree and said Don't brighten
me; is it true that you are shot, and is it
serious ?"
- Yes, May, ana shot" was the reply
of the wounded man, s'and it is . sad
affair. was in doze when I heard the
shot, and felt singing sensation in my
abdomen. / did not see anyone shoot"
He then ceased talking. as if from pain.
When his son Robert, aged eight years,
arrived on the scene, the dying man turned
t him and asked, ibid you shoot me,
Robby!"
mo, father" said the boy, shut saw
Jake Weber with gun on the other side
of the fence"
He died an hour later. A number of
boys had besn shooting during the day at
marks in the lot adjoining Zimmer-
mans house, and it was at first sup
posed that q stray shot from one Of
their pistols had found crack in the fence
and struck him in the abdomen. But ru-
mors prevailed during the evening that
some one had taken deliberate aim at the
sleeping man, and that his death, instead
of being accidental, was deliberate muir
der. The police have made fruitless
efforts to trace these rumors to respensl-
BILE source, but without avail. They have
arrested everybody that was in that lot
during the day, but the evidence
taken to-day not only shows that the
right man has not been arrested, but tends
to show that the shooting was not with
such weapon as is used to make harmless
Fourth of July explosions. An expert
called in testified that the ball taken from
dead mans body was from Smith Il Wes-
son revolver of improved and elaborate
workmanship, and that it was used in none
of the weapons produced by the parties the
police have in custody. So far as known.
Zimmerman had no enemy in the world,
but the suspicion grows apace that some
one who had a grudge against him took
advantage of the day and its liberties to
deliberately kill him.

Il MAD DOG CRAZE.

A Chicago Story that illustrates How q
Rabid Dog May Serve the Prohibition
lists.
CHICAGO, July 10.-A mad dog had pos
session of Halsted street last night. As
the animal rushed down the street there
was general stampede, but Hugo Lorey,
q nine-yesr old boy, was unable to get out
of the way and was bitten. The dog then
ran into Aldrich's saloon. which was filed
with customers. The appearance of the
animal, with eyes flashing and mouth
frething, swapping at all objects within his
reach, created great CONSERVATION in,the
saloon. Everybody vacated the premises,
boiling through doors and windows. The
dog retained possession of the saloon until
two police officers came along and killed
him with their revolvers. They had a
desperate fight, however, and narrowly
escaped being bitten. One Of them stood
on a counter and the other on billiard
table, from which point they fired q num-
Der of shots. Hugo Lorey will probably be
sent to New York to be treated by the Pas
teur method.
