SHE STARVED TO DEATH.
An Old Beggar and His Wife Reduced
to the Extreme of Destitution.

A horrible discovery was made yesterday in
a miserable hovel at Greenville, a suburb of
New York city, occupied by an old couple
named Herschell. The neighbors had not seen
the Herschells for several days, and notified
the police and Policeman Merritt was sent to
make an investigation The door OF the shanty
was locked and he was compelled to force it
open. On a pile OF rags and old clothing
covered with filth he found the body of Mrs
Herschell. The features we're distorted and
the eyes were wide open. In another corner
and but few feet from the body of the old
woman, lay her husband, gasping for breath
and scarcely able to speak Or move. An am
bulance was summoned and the old man
was taken to the Jersey City Hospital
The remains of his wife were conveyed
to the morgue. At the hospital it was
found that the old man was in the
last stages of starvation. After he had re-
ceived nourishment he was able to tell his sad
story. He said that his name was Henry Her.
schell, and that he was seventy years of age.
His wifcs name was Mary, and she. too. was
seventy years old. They had been married
over forty years, and came to this country from
Germany long ago. The old man said that he
injured his back by falling. and was unable to
work at his trade. He and his wife had man
aged to save n little money, and by the closest
economy they had lived on this long time
When the money became exhausted they suf-
fered from hunger and cold During the win
ter they went for days without food or fire.
They had to go out begging to keep from
starving. He said that when the policeman
came to his hut he and his wife had been with
out food over week. His wife died on Mon
day last. He became SO weak after her death
that he could not get out to notify the neigh
bors.

nothing new was elected The testim ony
proved that the rumors current were the pro-
duction of gossips that know nothing of the
case. The evidence of DIR. David W. Maule and

OF accidental death. The former declared that
no man could have the strength to produce the
dislocation of the neck with his hands.
AT the close of the testimony by the witnesses
summoned the jury indicated TO Mckee, who
was present. that they would like TO hear any
statement he might be willing to make. After
consultation with his counsel and between At
torney General Bggs and c. B. Lore, he was
sworn and said: I'VE were driving along the
new road. My wife was driving and she was
speeding the horse when he began to run.

with the tide at Bath Beach, l. l., yesterday
morning. In country fashion the body was
left in the water until Coroner Wardell Of Bay
Ridge had been summoned. He did not arrive
at the beach until nearly noon. Meantime
hundreds Of men and women went down to the
shore and watched the CHASTITY object as it
surged to and fro in the water. After the cor
oner arrived the body was drawn ashore and
he began his investigation. Only then was it
seen that the dead man must have been muir
dered and that in a most ferocious manner
The left leg had been sawed off just above the
knee. The marks OF the saw teeth
where they had torn their way through
flesh and bone were plainly discerniole.
The right arm was broken in splinters at the
shoulder. The lungs protruded several inches
from the right breast through a gap in the
chest. There was not shred of clothing left
on the corpse, which was that of a man about
thirty-fivc years old five feet ten inches in
height and must have weighed about 10
pounds. The face was clean shaven and the
hair was dark. 1t is the opinion of Coroner
Wardel! and those who saw the dead man that
he was murdered on some vessel, stripped of
his clothing and thrown into the sea. A med
lcal student present thought that the leg had
been cut off with surgeons saw. The body
was removed to Wardells morgue at bay
Ridge, where it will be kept for few days, SO
that il may be identified il possible.
