Or. CONWAY AGAIN EXPLAINS.
He Is Positive that Capt Maoken-
zie Did Not Commit Suicide.
Says He Was Not Negligent in FALL
ing to Mako an Autopsy.

DR.. william A. Conway In again called upon
for an explanation OF his action in the per-
formsnce Of his duties as Coroner's physician,
this time In the case Of Capt George Maoken-
Lle, the famous chess-player.
The latter died at the Cooper Union Hotel
April II, under suspicious circumstances. DR..
Conway, however, without holding an autopsy.
granted q burial permit in which the cause of
death was given as "phthisis pulmonaria"
Sinco that time facts have come to light.
OF some OF which, II is alleged, DR.. conway had
knowledge, and which led to the belief that
Cant Mackenzie committed suicide by taking
morphine.
DR.. s. B. Minden, of 8 ST. Marks place, who
attended Capt. Mackenzie, does not agree
with DR.. Conway's conclusion. and has re-
fused to grant certificate of death to Capt.
Mackenzie's benenciaries, who want to collect
mis- life insurance under his will.
Three days before his death. Dr.. Minden
says, Capt. Mackenzie came to him and wished
to have an injection Of morphine. 1t was re-
| fused. The Captain then went to Dr.. Muel-
lenbach, Of No. 0 Bible House, who Also de-
clined to comply with his request But he got,
| about April Q, a vial containing thirty-two
doses of one-sixth Of grain Of morphine each
which was renlled on April 1S, the day before
his death, at DIR. Muelienbach's drug store.
Dr.. Minden said Capt. Mackenzie looked like
a man who mad died Of morphine poisoning.
He took charge OF the bottle which contained
the poison and reported the case at Coroner
Messemers house for investigation.
The body was removed to Kip's undertaking
estaoiis ment, no autopsy being made. DR..
Conway reported the death as one of consump-
| tion, and next day issued certificate OF death
| to that effect
DIR. Conway, when seen at his residence, 1853
East Broadway, by an EVENING WORLD re-
porter this morning, made TINS explanation:
"Cspt. Mackenzie died Of Just what saId
he did. don't know why DR.. Mlnden is dis
torting this matter. knew Of the morphine
vial, but could not fnd 1t. DR.. Mindeu had no
business to / Ike 1t away"
"would you have made an investigation II
| you had found ~"
"No. Capt. Mackenzie was on his last legs
with consumption, and persons suffering with
| q wasting disease like he naturally and OF me-
cessity do take large quantities OF morphine.
| They take 1t as stimulsnt 1t Keeps them
| alive.
"If had held an autopsy it might have
shown The morphine, but In any case 1t would
not have amounted to more, under the cir
cumstances, than q verdict Of death from an
overdose OF morphine.
~ don't know why the onus of suicide
should rest ou Capt. Mackenzie when there ID
nothing to sustain that theory. / was and am
nrply convinced that Capt Mackenzie's death
was caused by consumption and nothing else.
Two days after Capt Maokenzie's death DR..
Conway was called to view the body

sorts Oh shore, then the river thieves piled
their calling.
In cocsle-shell boats thcy shot out
silently from under the docks at obb of
tide, and padded noiselessly up beside the
hull of the ship which had been selected for
their operations. Like cats they clambered
up the chains and entered the ship, stealing
anything they might lay their hands on,
sneakiag away as they had come.

excursion-barge waltz. Words, and then
blows follow, and in twinkling the merry
party Of the morning becomes riot at
night.
The shrieks Of the women and shouts Of
the men bring the big steamer up alongside,
policemen Chamber from her decks down
upon the barge, and In aootber twinkling
the riot is quelled and dozen pugnacious
picknickers are marched OF to the nearest
police station from the landing place.
At all seasons OF the year the river patrol
is maintained. IL consists Of three row
boats, each manned by two or three patrol
men. The boats are Of tho ordinary White
hall pattern, 10 feet long, 4 feet inches
wide and 20 inches deep. They are painted
black, and the men on the night watches
carry no lights save dark-lanterns, so that
their presence is never known TO the river
crooks till the officers are upon thcm.
The river front is divided into two patrol
posts, the East River constituting one, and
the North River the other. There arc
usually two boats on the East River. and
the roundsman takes passage in either Of
the three boats for his tour of duty.
The time of tho three squads Is divided
into four "tours Of duty" The first Is
from 7.3O A. NJ. to 1 p. N. Their relief
patrols till $50 ?. NJ. Tho third "tour "
lasts from that hour till midnight, the
fourth completing the twenty-four hour
circuit
Tho roundsmen of the River Patrol are
Thomas Mccormick, Martin A. Smith and
William Gerker. and II the reader would
like to ask whether they prefer river duty
to shore work, he will get in reply the
words, at makes no odds" but the
roundsman will clutch bis hands together
before him and shiver in memory Of many
winters night on the bleak and cherries
river.
The harbor police make no arrests In
cases Of collision, for whilo tho city has
ordinances prohibiting reckless driving,
and driver 10 sure of arrest should he run
down person, or collide with and damage
q street-car or other vehicle, there are none
that cover the movement OF vessels In the
fatal results no arrests arc made.
The Patrol was fitted with two splendid
fire pumps in the days before we had our
present magnificent 6reboats. Her pumps
will displace 2,600 gallons of water q min
ute, and have rendered fine service at many
q river blaze, but since the advent Of the
New Yorker" tho PATROLS fre-pumps
have fallen into innocuous desuetude,
though Chief Engineer Worth displayed
them and declared that they could do first
rate service whenever tho Fire Department
wanted 1t.
In Summer tho Patrol burns forty tons oi
coal month, but her forty-pound pressure
boilers can urge her to no better than thir
teen knots speed. In Winter, lying at hei
dock, she uses about half that amount oi
coal, for steam is kept up all the time.
Indeed, the steamer is heated by steam
and its interior is like that Of q pleasan,
homo.
The Captain has q pretty little once OF
the lower deck, and back Of It he stretches
his powerful frame for rest In black wall
nut bunk that Is curtained of with ricl
portieres In bijou chamber Ave feet Wild
by nine In length.
There are bathrooms where hot and COLI
plunges may be enjoyed; cozy dining
room, and o sitting room.

Shore Railroad Depot at $s. 900 for three

p BY constantly patrolling the rivers the
Steamboat Squad has n,arly exterminated
the wharf rats and the river thieves have
been compelled to carry on their depreda-

But there is always plenty for Capt.

There are two sergeants, who do tho desk

Roundsman Adler, is master of the steamer
Patrol q carpenter, an oiler, = chief engi-
neer, who Is sergt. Worth, and two detec-
tives.
Besides there arc ten civilians, including
three deck hands, an assistant engineer,
an oiler, two tiremen, two cooks and mess
boy.
Cattle men returning from Europe are
the hardest class OF men We have to deal
WITH" said Capt. Hooker.
"The cattle mon are terrors, and We are
frequently called uron TO mako arrests
among them for breaking cargo The
cattle men come on from the West with
their herds and go over to England with
them. 1t 10 on the return, when they have
their pockets full of money, that they make
trouble.
1t is one wild drunk all the way over
the ocean for some of them, and their Of
fense is generally that of breaking open
packages Of ale or spirits in the steamships
cargo. That is favorite return cargo for
the cattle ships.
