A LOTHARlO'S DEATH.
Fell From a window While Els.
Gaping a Husba n DIS Wrath.

NEW YORK, May 8.-The dead body
of Nathaniel A. Hatch, a member of
the firm of Walter T. Hatch and Sons,
bankers and brokers, was found in
the yard Of No. "a West Twentieth
street this morning. The story of his
death can not at first be told, but the
story OF Mrs. Lillian Scofeld, hand
some woman of about 30, suggested
murder actuated by jealousy. Mrs.
Scofield and her husband, Charles w.
Scofeld, were taken to the police
station this morning, where Mrs. Sco-
field said she had dined with
Hatch, who accompanied her
home about midnight. She in
vited him into the house. Sco-
field was asleep in the back parlor
but was aroused by the movements Of
his wife and Hatch. The latter was
hastily concealed ON the second floor.
Scofeld's jealously was aroused and
he questioned his wife in a most vio-
lent way concerning the man who had
been with her. She steadfastly re-
fused to give the mans name, and
insisted that he had left the house.
Scofeld then left the house. She
searched for Hatch but could not find
him, and thought he had also left the
house. She retired and knew no more
OF the broker or what happened in the
night until the body was discovered
in the yard this morning.
Scofield was formerly a broker in
good circumstances. He told the po-
lice that he had cause on several oc-
casions to doubt his wife's fidelity
Hatch was 80 years old aud lived with
his wife in handsome house on
Fifty-third street. His wife was for
merly one of the most prominent
ladies in Brooklyn society.
A coroner's inquest was held this
afternoon and Mr.. and Mrs. Scofield
were examined. From their testi-
mony it was evident that Hatch was
killed by falling from the window
while trying to escape from the hus-
band. The prisoners we're therefore
released.

AMERICAN CITIZENSHIP.
Concerning enforced military duty
required by France of naturalized
American citizens, Secretary Rayard
has instructed Minister McLane to
inform M. Flourers that the Govern
ment of the United States holds that
a decree of naturalization granted by
it to French citizen is not open to
impeachment by the French Govern
ment, either in the executive or judi
cial branch, and if it is al
legged to have been improvi-
IDENTIFY issued the remedy is by
application to the Department OF
State. "You will further say" writes
the Secretary, "that the subsection to
forced military service of the citizens
whose cases you report, is based upon
an assumption that they are not citi
zens of the United States. This depart
ment asks for their immediate release
and for proper compensation for the
losses which they have received by
such detention. 1t cannot be ad-
mitted that American citizens not
charged with any crime should be de-
tanned under arrest for even a single
day, after their proofs of citizenship
h a va hpnp rreseutad Tn ceeaa like
this the United States can never adj
nit the propriety of submitting to the
ordinary delays of judicial action"
