man who gave his name as Charles Stacker,
but who is said to have been a German
Count, and to have had most romantic
career, has been lying at the Morgue since
last Sunday awaiting identification. There
is great deal of mystery about the case.
and only one man in New York appears to
know anything of the dead man. Stacker
was taken TO Bellevue Hospital on Satur-
day week ago. He was then in an almost
dying condition from acute consumption,
and lived only ten hours. The only friend
he had in New York, he said, was j Sterns
an artist withss studio at ~ West Twenty
third street. After Stackers death Sterns
was sent for, and said that Stacker had
been man of great wealth at one time.
The family was one of the most distin-
guished in Germany, and Stacker himself
had been high officer in the German army
and was Count by birth.
