DECoYED AND MuKDDERE,
A Strange Case on which the Police
Are Working.

New YoRE. Nov. l.--Strong support
for the theory in the famous
BircholI case has found u parallel in tho
alleged suicide of wealthy Englishman
at Yonkers. Benweli, who had money,
was lured to this country, robbed and
murdered. James T.. Edgar, wealthy
London druggist, was lurcd to this coun-
try and has been found dead and penni-
less in Eonkers hotel.
To-day Captain Menzin. of Yon-
kers, applied TO the New York
police department. for assistance
on the case and Inspector Byrne
detailed two of his most cOmpe-
tent men for the task of uurayelng the
mystery. The old gentleman was
known to have received S.. 600 two weeks
ago, yet when found in the hotel not u
dollar was on his person. In the room
was u note to the proprietor, signed with
tho assumed name of George smith,
a. king pardon for the inconvenience he
was causing, and saying the iuhumnnity
of few persons had driven him to
death.
Piercy II. sumner New York
broker, identified the body as that of
james III. Edgar. The strange conduct
OF George II. Edgar, nephew of the lie.
ceased. and his subsequent disappear
ance, the fact that the yalise carried by
the Erglishmnu is missing and the ab.
scnce OF any bottle or flask which could
have contained poison are the chief
points upon which the theory of murder
is bused.
