THE SCORE FROM = A. n. TO ~ N.


At 7 o'clock Littlewood recorded 461 miles,
Q laps. Fitzgerald's record was 47O miles, 5
laps ut the same hour, but in his wonderful
race Jimmie Albert had scored only 467 miles,
3 laps and Littlewood was only 8 miles, 8 laps
behind that score, and in good condition.
The English champion was getting the bens-
fit of Albert's slow work during Friday:
Between midnight and o'clock Little
wood had run "a miles 4 laps. The same
gait until midnight would make him II record
breaker, with IA very easy task tomorrow to
beat Albert's final record.
Dan Herty's face wears the same uncon-
cerned expression that 1t has borne all
through the race. He has his schedule to
work upon and he cares for nothing else. He
has seen Guerrero run first in a race until the
very last day and then suddenly drop out
He knows how much his own frame will
stand, and he puts on no extra straw. At 9
o'clock this morning Guerrero was fifteen
miles ahead of him.
As it becomes probable thai Littlewood
will break Albert's record, interest in the
race grows apace, and ut daybreak this morn
ing there were 800 people in the Garden.
There seemed to be an alliance, offensive
and defensive, between Noremac and Guer-
zero. and they took turns in worrying Little
wood. But the cool-headed Englishman
wouldn't worry. He ran his own gait and
needed nobody. But when either of the 9th
ers passed him the crowd choered aud yelled
and got excited,
Last night n package was left by n mail
carrier for Old Sport. The old man feared a
practical Joke and would not open il. Harry
Nugent removed the wrappers and disclosed
a toy pistol, with some " verses v advising
Sport TO shoot the other fellows in the race
in order TO win.
Lakewood did better between 7 and 3
O'Clock, scoring five and q half miles. This
left him just five miles behind Albert's score
for that hour, II gain of a mile in two hours.
a review of the men for the week shows re-
markable records. On Monday Gus Guerrero
covered only 100 miles. He was suffering all
day with vertigo and nausea, but on Tuesday
he ran 40 miles, and LOG miles each on
Wednesday and Thursday.
Littlewood ran 1877 miles In the first twenty
three hours, but he had a bad day Tuesday
and travelled only eighty,eight miles, with .

spector Byrnes.

he said. " l know nothing whatever of Lille

guilt. But what will an acquittal avail me
now ? My future is oyershadowed. Ten
years of hard study go for naught.
All my efforts to build up a reputation

Tuesday night will never be forgotten, with It's
terrible seas. We could not keep the water down,
and there were many anxious hearts and thoughts
OF home. Constant jumping and bailing failed
to keep the CaDn free, and things looked
dark for us. Wednesday we got the vessel on the
port tack with small sail. The pumps were choked
with coal and our lease Of life appeared short, but
hoped for the best.
thursday morning, the 18th, our decks were
filed by the heavy sea, but the vessel riglted. We
sighted schooner w. !. VIII te recently abandoned.

Interest in the trial of Thomas b. Kerr. for

the court how their opinions will prevent
them from being impartial jurors. The rush

BROKER NAT HATCH'S DEATH
CORONER LEVY AND A JURY lNQUIRING
INTO 1T THIS AFTERNOON.
A Great Crowd of Curious People FIJI the
Coroncr's Omce-Capt. Reilly and His
Detectives on Hand E~nrly-Some of the
witnesses Who VIII Testify.

t The inquest, which is expected to make
clear the circumstance leading up to
the death of Broker Nathaniel W.
r. Hatch. was begun by Coroner
Levy this afternoon. The Coroner had de-
termined that the investigation should be
a searching one. and a jury of exceptional re-
soectability had been summoned.
Public curiosity was aroused to an extraor-
binary pitch by the facts already known as
to the career of the Scotields, MS we'll
rs by the anticipated revelation as to their
dealings with Broker Hatch.
The narrow room devoted to inquests at
the Coroner's Office was crowded to suffoca-
ton and many were unable to obtain admis-
sion.
Among the spectators were Mr.. Walter T.
Hatch and several other members of the
family of the dead man, D.. G. Ferris,
Joaquin, the restaurateur, and j. Il. Brown,
Scofield's partner.
Capt. Reilly and his detectives put in an
early appearance.

QUICK DEATH IN THE WIRE.
AN ELECTRIC LIGHT LINEMAN INSTANTLY
KILLED ON BROADWAY.

w.
lie Dead, and In n Moment All Was Over
with Him-Tbe Current Was said to
Have Been shut on, md Was Within
Roach of n Number Of Employees.
The deadly electric light wire has added
another name to its long list of victims. At
1915 A. M. to-day T. H.. Murray, q lineman
attached to Station b of the Brush electric
light system called at the Office of Bierman,
Heidelberg h Co., wholesale dealers in cloth
ing at GIG and 61S Broadway, and asked per-
mission to step outside their front windows
to repair a wire. He had not been at work
more than three minutes when he staggered
and fell PROSTATE across the sill Of one of the
windows.
A moment later Policeman Apple, who was
in Broadway, happened to look up and saw
the body lying in the window, and near it a
little puff of smoke curling upward.
1t was learned then hat after stepping out
upon the stone coping behind the sign of the
clothing house Murray seized a coil of wires
which extended from the sign to q pole on
the opposite side of the street, and received
the full force of an electric shock, which
caused instant death.
The wire had burned into two fingers of
the right hand. had consumed the flesh and
left the bone exposed. His face was blue.
his eyes closed and his teeth set as if he had
braced himself for an unusual effort.
The policemen lifted the body from the
window and laid it upon the stone floor to
await the arrival of the Coroner. The dead
which WAS found in one Of his pockets and
which was marked 1T. II. Murray, station
B. Elizabeth street, " in red stencil letters.
On another paper was a record of his morn
ing's work. He had, covered a large portion
of his district and when he reached Bierman,
Heidelberg X Co.'S store, he probably fan
cied that the perilous part of his task was
over, inasmuch rs the connection with the
Brush system formerly made there had been
cut off for several months.
The bunch of wires which he seized was
supposed to be composed of dead wires, Ms
no current of electricity was furnished to the
building. In order to steady himself Muir.
ray probably grasped them without the
slightest suspicion hat It meant death to
do so.
There are many other electric wires where
Murray met his death and, the members OF
the firm of Bierman, Heidelberg d Co. and
they considered that any of them might have
handled one of the wires in an unguarded
moment, and met the same terrible fate
which befell poor Murray.
Murray was q single man and lived at Al
| Madison street. He had been many years in
the employ of the company.
The Coroner will make a searching investi-
CATION.
W. H. McGrath, the foreman, who employs
and has charge of the line men, was not in
the office of Station Is when a reporter called
there, and it could not be learned what Muir
ray was doing in a building where the electric
light was no longer used. or how it happened
that q live wire was still run into the build
ing.
W. A. Russell. the business manager, said
it was the first accident of the kind that had
ever happened to an employee of the Brush
I Company.
