A REMARKABLE BIBLE.
The Result of twenty-five Years Work
by Augustin DAILY.
New York Times


Twenty-Five years ago or more Mr.. Au-
eustin Daily began to collect plates on Bibli-
cal subjects. Mezzotints and full-line en-
cravings after tie old masters, original
works By Durer and others soon accumu-
lated so that lie had TO have special cabinets
built 10 hold them. His interest in the
work grew as years went on, and be had
got together, besides The best ob,ainatle
copies Of all easily accessible works. many
extremely rare prints, and some autographs,
such as a letter Of Plus X on a Biblical
subject.
He sought all over Europe for unique
prints. He found in England an original
/ drawing by Raphael, bearing the stamp,
also, of Sir Joshua Reynolds. His collection
at last became unique and may fairly be
called complete. IL IS a collection that
comprises a history Of Serlptural art All
the masteTWOTks are there; all the Ma
dDnnds, for instance, Of every age and every
school Of art. Using rare copy OF the
Doual Tor D0Way) Bible as the text. Mr.
Dalv. with the Invaluable services of Mr..
Toedteberg II other artists in the craft Of
tile immortal Granger, has produced the
most remarkable Bible ever seen. It COM
priseS 4 folio volumes, bound IN morocco
aud Yeilum.
Yesterday. at Il West Fiftielh street, Mr.
and Mrs. DAILY held an Internal reception,
and the enlarged Bible just from the bind
ers was shown. It occupies a bookcase
newly built to accommodate it in that re-
markable library which few, even among
bibiOphiles, know. It is now In company
with Mr. Days remarkable collection Of
first editions, in English and French, and
his unique collection of dramatic works,
which includes the four original Shake
speare f0lias. enlarged editions Of ali the
famous theatrical histories and biograp plies,
and every rare book of theatrical interest
One of the most beautiful Of the recent
additions 10 this remarkable library is a
unique copy Of Mr.. Days own life of
Margaret Wellington. Illustrated with many
extra plates and exquisite water-c0lOr paint
ings by Mr.. tiriYaZ. But to enumerate the
treasures OF this collection would test the
skill Of an expert, ana TO ftly describe it
one would have to possess the knowledge
| and enthusiasm OF bi5lOphile. and the yo-
eabulary too.
Among the many guests Of MIR. and Mrs.
DAILY yesterday were Archbishop CoTTigan
| the Rev. Michael J. Layelle, rector OF St.
Patrick's Cathedral; the Very Rev. Thomas
J. Campbell, provincial OF the Society or
| Jesus; the Rev. W. OBJ. Pard0w, rector Of
! ST. Francis Xavier's; Horace Howard Fur
| ness, the editor Of the variOrum Shakespeare,
who came from Philadelphia for tile pur-
pose; George Parsons LathrOp, Laurence
Hutton, William Winter and Eugene
GriYaZ.

breaks down. and Al Cumming that
night, forgot all about it, and he was not
pressed with questions. BE was not asked
if he knew the girl with May Jenner, or in
fact was not asked anything except as 10
some Of the statements already published,
which are immaterial in the case. He said
May was sober when she left the saloon
and told how she and nine others had drunk
large bottle OF champagne and afterward
two drinks Of whisky. She left the saloon
accompanied by a stranger, who he after
ward learned was Captain Holly's nephew.
She left the place between 1880 and IL
o'clock.
Dr.. Williams, who performed the au-
topsy. was next examined. He testified
that May Jenner's death was due to drown
Ing, and that tue organs of the body were
in normal condition. For some reason
Mr.. Cumming seemed especially uneasy
during the DOCTORS examination. So mani
fest was his anxiety that it called forth re-
marks upon the part Of the spectators. At
torney Heynemann again whispered in the
COroner's ear and kept it filed with counsel
and advice until the witness was excused
john Lewis. the fisherman who found the
body. told how he discovered it, and added
that as the body was lifted from the water
one OF the diamond earrings dropped from
the ear OF the dead girl and down on her
breast, ana also swore that he called the
attention OF the Coroner's assistants to the
fact that the earring was down in the bosom
of her dress.
The evidence Of 7. c. Howell, who re-
sides at 1516 Tenth street, Oakland. was
next taken. He said he was in the waiting
room al the ferry when two women and a
man came in about II o'clock on the night
of the suicide. One OF the women came
out and sat down beside him and the other
engaged in a spirited conversation with a
man whose dress and appearance he de-
scribed. Later be was on the boat when
the Woman jumped overheard. Nj Howell
was not asked TO look at Cumming and tell
whether he was the man talking with the
woman at the ferry or not. He was not asked
TO describe the dress OF the girl who sat beside
him and who. he said, the woman who was
talking to the man kept RECKONING to come
10 her. He was asked only important dues-
tons and his testimony at It's clpse was de-
The morning call., 1892-05-28

when she said he knew
her condition. Cumming solemnly swore
that he had no idea TO what the girl
referred. He then identified the jew
elry taken from the body and the pocket
book. and went on to explain that the dia-
mOnd pin she wore when she jumped over
board was not hers, but that she had an in
terest in it. He was not asked how he
knew so much about the dead girls affairs,
who the diamond pin belonged to- or what
the interest was she had in il. He then said
that he did not know why May Jenner had
committed suicide and was agein excused.
Deputy Coroner Brdgewood was called
to the stand to deny the story Of the fisher
man Lewis about the diamond earring fall
ing in the breast Of the dress and the in
quest was over
Neither Captain Holly nor his nephew,
who was present in Gobey's saloon when
May Jenner and Cumming quarreled, or
Mamie Coifey, who was present at the same
time and who accompanied, together with
Captain H0lly's nephew, the dead girl to the
ferry, were called.
Not a word was asked Of any enc con-
corning tue troubles the girl spoke Of to SO
many. The verdict which was written en-
tire by the Deputy Coroner except the
words THAT said May Jenner committed
suicide while lab0ring under fit Of des-
p0ndency," and these words were suggested
TO the jurors. was as follows:
We, the jurors md that May Jenner, aged %
a
occupation, came 10 her death on or about May
u, 1892, from SubmersiOn, caused by jumping
from the ferry boat Piedmont into the bay OF San
FranciscO, and We further find that said May
Jenner commit ed suicide while laboTiug under
fit OF dependency.
Outside the testimony of Nellie Bunnell
there is nothing to warrant the verdict
found No attempt was made 10 ascertain
the girls condition at the ferry, or what
she may have said there, although there
were two witnesses to be had.
The friends of May Jenner are more than
indignant. The brother. Harry Jenner,
said last night:
I'VE feel and every one who was present
at the inquest must know that il was simply
an attempt TO shield and screen Al Cum
ming 1t was SO apparent that my friends
have come TO me tonight and urged me to
see if something more cannot be done"
1t is probable that with the burial of May
Jenner's body, which takes place to-day at
o'clock. the matter will drop. but so long
as there is no other punishment for men
who drive young girls TO suicide except the
publicity given to their acts, and so long as
inquests are merely pro tOrma, there is
likely 10 be constant repetitiOns Of her sad
fate.

that when it was found there would be
some fun; that then 'the whole thing
would Come OUT; that then he would talk
and defend himself and SHOW people that
he was not May Jenner's lover"
Many of those present were dumf0unded
for moment at the suddenness with which
Cummings examination was closed and
then a reporter went to Coroner Garwood
and asked him to ask the witness whether
or not he was married to May Jenner
Cumming was asked the question and de-
MED that he was married to the dead girl
Ii was not asked what he meant by say
ing to her it was best tor them TO separate,
nor was he asked a single question that
would tend TO disclose his relations with
her, nor was he asked what he meant by
the expression, There will be fun when
the body is found.
After he had left the stand Deputy Core
ner Brdgew00d suggested TO the Coroner
that Cumming should be asked TO identify
May JenneT's jewelry, though how the
officials knew he was able TO identify it is
more than any one can tell. Certainly his
evidence disclosed nothing that would lead
TO such an assumption.
Cumming was recalled and testified that
he knew tie handwriting of the deceased.
He WAS shown the note addressed TO him.
