NEW YORK, March 6.-Manslaughter

NEW YORK, March 6.-Manslaughte
is the serious charge hanging over the
heads of twenty-one railroad owners
and officials. The coroner's inquest in
to the cause of the accident in the tun-
mel Of the New York Central Railroad
in this city on the morning Of February
20. by which several lives were lost. was
concluded last night. The jury returned
verdict finding that the danger signals
were properly set, but that owing to the
density of the atmosphere in the tun-
mel Engineer Fowler, of the New
Haven, did not clearly see
them, and that the officials
Of the New York, New Haven &
Hartford Railroad Company are re-
sponsible for the death by suffocation
and burning OF two of the victims of
the wreck caused by the upsetting Of q
car stove, which set fire to the wreck.
In accordance with the finding of the
jury Coroner Levy issued warrants this
morning for the officers and directors of
the New York, New Haven & Hartford
Railroad. These warrants were for the
following: Oficers-Charles P. Clark,
New Haven president, +. NJ. Reed, vice
president, New Haven; Lucius Tuttle,
general manager. New Haven; VIM. ID.
Bishop, Jr., secretary, Bridgeport; VIM.
l.. Squire, treasurer, New Haven: II. M.
kocherspelger comptroller, New Ha-
ven; Charles T. Hampstead, general
passenger agent, New Haven; and
Charles Rockwell, general freight agent,
New haven. Directors-George N.
Miller, New York; Wilson G.. Hunt,
New York; F. II. Trowbridge.
New Haven; VIM. D. Bishop,
Bridgeport; Henry c. Robinson. Hart
ford; Edward M. Reed, New Haven;
Charles 2. Clark, New Haven; Joseph
Park, New York; Chauncey M. Depew,
New York; Henry S. Lee, Springfield,
Mass. William Rockefeller, New York;
Leverett Brainerd, Hartford, and Ns-
thaniel Wheeler, Bridgeport.
From this it will be seen that the ma
iority of the officials live outside of this
state; but Coroner Levy does not antic-
ipate that he will have any trouble in
securing their attendance in this city.
They will probably come on here read
lily, for they would have nothing to gain
In resisting the Coroner. Should thew
not come, resort will be had to eXtradi-
ton proceedings. Coroner Levy antic-
ipates having no trouble with Gov.
Buckley, of Connecticut.
Chauncey M. Depew and William
Rockefeller will be arrested in the
course of the day and brought to the
Coroner's office, where bail will be
fixed probably in $50, 900. AS fast as
the arrests are made, bail will be taken
and the officers allowed to depart The
district attorneys Office was notified of
the CorOner's action
The coroner's duty will cease with the
making of his statement, and the Off
GERS will come before the grand Jury.

WOMAN'S FATAL CHARM.

Eyraud's Crime Repeated at a European
Gaming Resort.
MONACO March "a man and wom-
al were arrested here yesterday even
ing, charged with the murder of ply
stefan in December last. Their arrest
has caused a sensation because the
crime is a direct counterpart or
reproduction of the crime for which
Michael Eyraud recently suffered the
death penalty on the Place de Ia Ro-
quette.
From the meagre details obtainable
from the police it appears that in De-
cember last the body of an English ply
stefan, DR.. Lindemann, of Manchester.
was found dead in ravine near San
Reno The finding of the dead body
was followed by an official investigation
which, it was announced, resulted In
the authorities of San Reno coming to
the conclusion that it was either case
of suicide, or else that DR.. Lindemanr
met his death by accident through fall
ing down the ravine some dark night
while out walking.
1t now appears that the police allowed
the suicide or accident theory to get
abroad in order to better enable them
to follow out the real theory
| that OF murder. It is thought
likely that the murderer or
murderers, upon hearing that
the authorities of San Reno
had arrived at the conclusion that the
English physicians death was caused by
accident or suicide, would relax their
vigilance, take fewer precautions tocon-
ceal their crime, and thus fall more
readily into the hands OF Justice. From
the moment the DOCTOR body was found
the authorities of San Reno never
ceased their investigation, and gradually
wove a net of evidence around the doc
tors murderers which yesterday result
ed in the arrest here of q man and
woman who are charged with having
murdered DR.. Lindemann.
The woman, 1t appears, was of the
seductive character of Gabrielle Bonn
pard, Eyraud's mistress, and she used
her bright eyes to lure the doctor TO
lodgings she occupied at San Reno. AS
to what actually took place after the
woman had enticed her victim in
to her room little is actually known
here, owing to the fact that the
police are not yet prepared to give all
the facts to the public. However, it is
concluded that the doctor, when in the
woman's apartments, was drugged, MUIR
dered and robbed by the woman who
had bewitched him, and that the latter
was assisted in the preparation of the
crime by the man supposed to be her
lover, who was taken into custody with
her.
The arrests have cau.od much COM
motion here. 1t has even been ru-
mored that the man and woman in GUS
tody may have other and similar crimes
charged against them, and that the
woman may have been used to lure
other men to their doom. In a place
like this, where the finding Of bodies,
generally cases of supposed sui
eide, is not an unfrequent occur
renee, it is not astonishing that the
widest theories have been advanced,
and that people fancy that, perhaps,
the woman has made it business to
decoy successful players into her apart
ments and that they may have been
both robbed and murdered and their
bodies placed SO that they would be
classed as victims of ill-luck at the gam
| inc tables OF Monte Carlo or elsewhere.

Juvenile Jack the Ripper Sent to Lon
don Asylum.
LONDON, Feb. "A companion fend
to Jack the Ripper, only on a somewhat
lesser scale, was sent to Broadmoor in
sane asylum to-day, there to be con-
fined during what is known as "Her
Maiesty's pleasure" and which practi-
cally means for lite. His name is Ed
ward Collocitt, and he is the young son
of a wealthy jeweler of this city. Some
time ago the police authorities
commenced to receive numerous COM
plants from young women in the west
ern suburbs to the effect that while
ut after dark they were approached by
. young man who came suddenly up
behind them, and stabbed them in the
back with sharp instrument about the
thickness of an awl Extra detectives
were put on duty in the districts from
which the complaint came, but for
some time without result. A couple Of
weeks ago, however, furniture dealer
noticed Collocitt standing behind a
couple of young ladies in suspicious
manner, and determined to watch him.
Suddenly he made step forward, and
gave one of the young women three
stabs with his right hand in the back.
Then he took to his heels, but was fol-
lowed by Myers, the man in question.
and arrested. After the fact Of his in
generation was made known nineteen
women identified him as their assailant.
Six Of these gave evidence in court, and
the doctors testified that all of them had
one or more clean-cut, punctured
wounds on portions of their anatomy
Immediately below the hip joint, and
which had evidently been made by a
very pointed awl. A weapon of this
kind was thrown away by Collocitt
while he was being pursued. 1t was
testified that the total number of his
victims was over sixty. The jury
promptly found him guilty, but, on &C
count of his wealthy connections, the
plea that he was of weak intellect had
it's effect, and instead of going to the
penite ntiary he was committed to the
lunatic asylum. One feature of his
mania consisted of his selecting as vic

shown by the extracts from the record

OKLAHOMA Cry, O. T., March 5.-The
