The Notorious Cause Of the stokes-Fisk
Tragedy Buried At Beverly, n. J.
New York special
A dispatch from Beverly, N. j.. says that the
eossips of quiet little Beverly are excited over
what they think Is . genuine mystery. Last
Sunday . small funeral procession wendell its
way round the main road leading TO Monument
Cemetery. 1t came in such an unostentatious
manner, and the intermeat wa made 30 quickly
that, with the exception OF tbs uourners and
the sexton. no one knew anything ABOUT the Al
fair at the time.
It IL now found that the funeral was that Of
Josie Mansfield. who figured prominently IN
the Fisk-Stokes tragedy In New York Ia 1911. lt
is said that she died at Deianco. Two miles De-
low here, after . short illness on the Thursday
previous.
Immediately after the death of Fisk she went
to Paris, where she remained for some time.
After the excitement caused by that event had
passed away she returned to this country.

town Of Delanco. where she has since leo
very quiet and secluded life. Her death ana
burial Are surrounded somewhat 10 mystery.
Both the burial permit and the .physi.,
clans certificate OF death are registered
40 "Josie Williams" There were only
four or FIVE persons ct the funeral. and from all
that can be learned they are unknown In this
part of the Stata. The sexton was generously
paid for his part of the work. all the secrecy
possible being the only condition enjoined: The
newly-made grave is almost within the shadow
OF the soldiers monument, erected by the State
Of New Jersey in honor Of the fallen heroes OF
the late war.
The death of Helen Josephine Mansfield re-
calls to most readers the tragedy OF the killing
of James Flax, jr., early in 1872 II was with him
that her name was for years associated. She was
. Massachusetts, girl. who was early married to
the actor, Frank Lawler. The waywardnsss that
was part of her nature made married life irk-
some 70 her. Her marriage occurred 10 1866. She
was divorced on Oct. 10, 1867. About 1868 she
was introduced 70 Colonel Fisk. aLd the &c
quaintance then begun was soon q very intimate
one. Fisk was just getting into the heyday Of
his prosperity by reason OF his alliance with Jay
Gould. He was fascinated by the attractions Of
the woman. wko was then buxom of form and
pleasing of feature.
1t was toward the end of 1871 that the rela-
tons between the two were rnptured, and fol-
owing this came . criminal prosecution for
libel brought on Ter behalf against Fisk for Ian
guage he had used concerning her. The pro-
eeedinRs were pending In the Yorkvihe Police
Court when Fisk Was killed. This event.
which occurred on Jan 6. 1872, marked the
close of Miss Mansfeld's semi-public career.
She went abroad and lived quietly for a while.
When she returned TO this city In 1875, she
took modest apartments in Eleventh street,
near Fifth-avenue. end remained quite secluded.
OF late years little has been heard Of her.

ton debated at the Evangelical Alliance Q

Of the latter being considered highly successful.
