CAMDEN, Aug. !, 1851 BilIyr
Thompson and the South jersey Jockey
Club were yesterday sued in the Supreme

induced to enter the suit on the belief
that the races were crooked, and he
processes his ability to prove that there Is
Crooked racing al Gloucester. He has
kept q list of some Of the ventures, show
ing his operations from day to day.
The figures show. that Whitman was on
the losing side more frequently than on
the winning side. He declares that be
would not have brought the suit had it
not been for the fact that, In his opinion,
horses were pulled when they ran in races
on which he had placed bis money. He
criticises the fairness Of the racing In the
affidavit which he will file with the bill Of
particulars, nd processes to have inforna-
ton that horses in which the leading
spirits of the South Jersey Jockey Club
are Interested win BY favoritism.
Friends Of his had several interviews

command. Thompson was asked If he
would be willing 90 refund any OF the
money which Whitman had lost He

any suit at law or any criminal prosecu-
ton. He said that Wilson II. jenkins,
the Prosecutor OF the Pleas for Camden
county, was q friend OF his, and that he
had made Mr.. Jenkins what he was.
HE also said that County Judges Hugg
and Gaunt would not do him any injury
The only Judge he was afraid of was
Judge Garrison, or the Supreme Court,
but the Impression was thrown out that
Thompson had such influence with Cover

Patched in Wonderful Way.

A Newark Mans Internal Apparatus
Patched in Wonderful Way.
Special to The Sunday Morning Nesca.
NEWARK, Aug. 1, 1891. "A case which
the physicians who have charge of it
aver. has not its equal in the records of
medical science. is being treated at the
City Hospital. It is that OF Nicholas
Schnaar, of No. II Condit street, who ac-
cidentally shot himself in his brother
saloon last Saturday night. The bullet
from thirty-two calibre revolver which
Schnaar held close to his body entered
his breast three inches below the left nip
pie and one and three-quarter inches
from the middle line of the body. IL per-
forated the liver, passed through the
stomach and tore the small intestines
The accident occurred at ten minutes
to eleven O'Clock, and Schnaar was re-
ceived at the hospital at half-past eleven
O'Clock. An examination of the wound
showed that there was profuse hemor-
rhage and that an examination would
have to be performed. A consultation
was held and it was decided to perform
the operation as soon as possible. 1t was
begun at ten minutes TO two O'clock Sun
day morning, and was performed by DIR.
Archibald Mercer of the hospital staff,
4. Wrightson, DIR. D. L. Wallace and
members OF the house staff.
The operating surgeon opened the abb
domen and found profuse hemorrhage.
The abdominal cavity was full of blood.
The man had been vomiting blood and
was in collapse. The hole in the stomach
was sewed up and the bullet was found
in the folds Of the small intestines.
Much difficulty was experienced IN
stopping the flow of blood from a hole In
the kidneys, and 1t WAS In fact the partic-
ular part OF the operation. Two ligatures
were passed through the liver ana tied.
eral attempts to apply the ligatuIes were
thwarted by the liver tearing. After the
ligatures were tied hot irons were laid
against the bleeding points. The holes
in the small intesfines we're then sewed
up and the abdominal cavity washed out.
The operation took mp three and three
quarter hours, and during all of that time
the patient was under the influence of
ether. No pulse was noticeable when the
operation wss finished, and all day Sun
day the man without apparent signs of
life. Stimulants was furnished hyper
darmically through the day, and Sunday
night the patient began to show signs OF
life Peritonitis set in, but this was con-
trolied by GOLD water coil.
Up to Thursday the physicians had no
hope Of SEMINARS recovery, but now
there is fair show for him to regain
health and strength.
In speaking of the case to-day Dr. Ed
ward Peat. The house physiciBn, said that
il Schnaar recovered his case will break
the record of the world. He said that
there was no case on record where a man
had recovered after his liver had been
pierced by pistol bullet In the manner
in which Schnaar's was.

LIEUT.. ANASTUY CONFESSES,
He Describes How He Murdered Baron,
Dellard.

Ho Describes How He Murdered Baroness
Dellard,
Lieut. Anastuy, who is under arrest for the
murder OF the aged Baroness Dellard in Paris.
has justified the conviction Of the police that
he Is the murderer by confessing that he com.
mitted the crime.
The baroness, it appears by the evidence sub
mitted by the police, was at about o clock in
the afternoon Of December seated in the salon
of her apartment on the first door OF the large
and fully inhabited house which she occupied
with her son at No. AZ Boulevard du Temple,
close to the Place de la Concordc. Baroness
Del!ard was The daughter OF general of the
first empire the widow of colonel OF cuirassiers
of the guard and was seventy-two years of age.
She is described Is a tall and stately old lady,
with snow-white hair. and was held in much
respect and esteem: by her neighbors. Her
son, Baron Dellard, holds and important posi-
ton on the cleriasi staff of the minister of war
n. de Freycihet He is about foIty years old. a
retired army officer and knight If the Legion
OF Honor.
The assassin timed his visit 80 as to find the
baroness alone in her apartment He cut
he- throat with la-e knife and was about
leaving with his booty when the servant a
strong country girl, returned. He concealed
himself and made an attack on her with the
KNIFE. staDblng her IN the breast and throat.
She knocked the knife Fl ON his hands and
cried for help. The assassin escaped throug
court yard and disappeared in the :rowd
on the streets.
The lieutenant now under arrest was re-
tired, not entirely on his own free will, from
the infantry regiment to which he belonged
about two days before the Baroness Deilard
was murdered The prisoner was arrested
in cafe where he was enjoying
himself with some of his associates. Lieut..
Anastuy is said to be former friend of Baron
Dellard. The police have in their possession
kid glove dropped by the murderer and the
knife, OF English make and stamped with the
initials F. ~, with which the crime WAS COM
miItcd.
1t is the distinguished position which the
murdered baroness occupied and the brave
dOings OF her ancestors and relatives and the
position in society which both she and her son
occupied, coupled with the bold, cold-blooded
audacity with which the crime was committed
In the daytime in fully inhabited house in a
populOus and fashionable neighborhood. which
have caused Paris, France, and even Europe al
large, TO take the greatest possible interest in
the case.
The ease with which the murderer escaped
caused a perfect panic among the upper and
middle class population Of Paris, who began to
imagine that they were no longer safe from
such attacks.
